It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a little help from you friends. For the last two years I’ve had loads of clothes, bags and shoes taking up space in my basement. Last year I planned on giving it to charity but then life happened and the stuff remained untouched. What a waste! So yesterday my friend helped me out and we went through every single bag and box, deciding what to keep and what to give away.

I have to say I’m very proud of myself. I have a very hard time throwing things away but I guess, knowing it was going to be used by someone who needs it more than I do, made it easier. I only kept one box, ONE! Such a relief! The rest, 5 bags, was picked up by Erikshjälpen today. Crossing my fingers they will take good care of it and make sure it ends up in the hands of those who need it.

That I was able to fill 5 bags is ridiculous. There are people out there with nothing. NOTHING. I urge all of you to look through you wardrobe/basement/attic. All the clothes and shoes you don’t use, or have grown out of, can be used by someone else. There are a lot of organizations that would gladly accept you donations.

JUST DO IT.
