It's about a woman named Mary Lake, a retired grandmother who makes (on average) a dress a day for little girls in foster care or living with people other than their parents.
As if that wasn't amazing enough, Mary sews those pretty little dresses on an antique manual Singer sewing machine (meaning no electricity, you operate it by a treadle using your feet).
Mary remembered how good she felt as a little girl when she got a new dress and wanted little girls who were having difficult times to know that same feeling.
I called Mary yesterday to ask if I could send her a check to help offset the cost of her project but she refused. She did (reluctantly) agree to let me send her a box of material, thread, and supplies.
If anyone out there is interested in doing the same you can contact me for her mailing address.
Enjoy the video below, it's a great example of how one person with a kind heart and a little effort can positively impact the lives of (so many) others.
Subscribers (and you know who you are) will need to return to the blog or follow this link to see the video as it isn't pushed through.
