Greater Elgin
Dave Lovestrand, my son, Patrick and I decided to clean gutters for seven elderly residents at
Willow Lake Estates in Elgin. We decided to do this because there was no way these people could climb a ladder and do it themselves.
We really enjoyed working together and the job was fun because we were doing it together. The folks we helped were truly surprised that we were doing this on a volunteer basis and they all tried to pay us for our work. We just told them the blessing we received by helping out was our pay. One sweet lady sent us a Thank You card and included $15, which we donated to the food drive.
