Well, this weeks BLOG is about featuring ONE of our special young adults....Not specifically....It's ALL about my prayer to ONE day open a Furniture and Appliance Business for our Special Needs Kids to work in. It just seemed to me a God idea, a Big Store where my young LIFTERS could help learn to fix, clean, and deliver Furniture to those customers that needed a Deal on typically expensive Stuff. Unfortunately after weighing the cost of picking up STUFF and Insurance, and Lifters, and RENT, the couch or two that we would sell for $30.00 did not make business sense. BUT God...
I absolutely knew it was NOT a go, but little did I know that the Lord was saying "Not Yet" and "Not that way" Today, he said "YES" and "NOW" but His Way.....
We received a call from The Wyndham Vacation Resorts in Nashville that they approved the donation of 300 remodeled Vacation Resort Condos. You see we had a chance to show them what we are all about, brag on our kids, and even the Resort Manger came by a few Saturdays ago to see our unique program first hand, they were impressed with our program and specifically our differently-abled young adults. You see this donation fits perfectly with The Wyndham Vacation Resorts Green Initiatives and the Recycling of their beautifully maintained appliances and Furniture. It makes a BIG dent in the unemployment rate for Special Needs Young Adults here in Davidson and Williamson County. Exactly what are we getting? Get Ready!
How about:
- 90 Refrigerators
- 90 Washer Dryers
- 90 Dishwashers
- 90 Microwaves
- 90 Garbage Disposals
- 94 Stoves
- Lamps – light bulbs will be removed – 320 total
o 2 BR Units – 160 lamps
o 1 BR Deluxe – 96 lamps
o 1 BR Suite – 64 lamps
- 85 Sofa Beds
- 100+ Wingback Chairs
- Artwork – approximately 384 pieces
- Drapes – 96 units
- Mini Blinds – 64 units
- 10’ ceiling to floor drape and valance – 64 units
- 76 Bedspreads
So do you think other Hotel Resorts might read the article in the paper and say " We can do that and help special young adults with disabilities" Please pray with me on THAT ONE. I think this is just the beginning....
PS If you are staying in a Hotel soon, PLEASE consider the Wyndham, they have a Heart for Our kids....ALL of OUR Kids.....
