Mexico is a land of riches and a land of poverty. Our time spent here in Yuma, Arizona is our time to help those in need. We spend our time making quilts for the people just moments away that have no more than cardboard boxes to shield themselves from the weather. Although it is spring-like to us Canadians, to people who weather 140 plus F in the summer, 60 F is very, very cold. At night it gets very close to freezing. Can you imagine that with no insulation!! In December of each year, the people from this RV Park take 900 shoe boxes of daily essentials and 600 quilts down to the people in Mexico. They go to an old folks home, a drug rehab centre, and some of the poorest villages to ensure the donations get directly into the hands that need them. The top picture has a little stuffed animal in a bag that is one that Yvonne donated to the cause last year. It touches us that our giving is so gratefully accepted and needed. We are so fortunate to come from a country where the average child is asking for the newewst toy, not asking for just any toy - just one toy to play with. You can see the people waiting in line and holding our quilts under their arms like prized posessions. We are so proud and honoured to be a part of this wonderful project!
