Lots of Furniture

I had thought things would slow down as the holidays approach so I could catch my breath, but no such luck. Don't get me wrong, it's great to be working so much in these economic times. I've met lots of new people lately, often under times of stress. I'm cleaning out two houses in the next couple of weeks because the person's Mom passed away suddenly. While both people acknowledge that both women lived to a ripe old age, there's still such sadness in the ending. They are both pleased that their mother's memory will be honored by giving their things away to folks, rather than trashing it or selling it for gain. This time of year, many of my favorite places to donate, like Friends of the Homeless in Weymouth, are overwhelmed with furniture, so I'm turning to you, my list of re-allocation specialists to get the word out that the furniture is rolling in. Do you know of someone that just got an apartment and needs furniture? Someone getting a divorce that has to move and has nothing? A friend who has things that are pretty worn out and would like something new for the holidays? You get the idea.
Next Wednesday, the 25th, I'm in Hingham. There are two couches, an upholstered chair, end tables, coffee table, two matching twin beds (mattress/boxspring/headboard/footboard), nightstand, bureau, desk.
November 30th I'm in Braintree and there are couches, kitchen set, dishes, end tables, etc.
If the person you know doesn't have access to a truck and they are close to the route from the job site to my house and can swing in and drop off at theirs.
Thanks for reading and for trying to help others. Every time we pay it forward, we all win.
