Donation Challenge – Part 3
I was so energized and motivated from the removal of 50 unwanted, unneeded and unused items from our space, I wanted to challenge myself even more. Could I reach the 100 item mark? Yes, I decided to go for it. Maybe, just maybe, I was getting carried away, but I will admit, I was having fun with it. It was very liberating, allowing myself to donate items to a worthy cause (H.O.P.E. Program of Boston Children’s Hospital) while purging our space of items that were no longer important in our current lives.
Our list of donated items is printed below. It may prompt you to think of items that you have in your household that you could donate. If that is the case, please share those items with me.
