A friend of mine sent me the following via Facebook. After reading this, I realized that I already have my super hero outfit.....my Mrs Virginia Beach International banner. I immediately went to work on preparing packages for the needy and will be dropping them off tomorrow. If anyone reading this is able to participate, please contact me so that I can help you with where to bring your care packages.

I recently saw something inspiring. At first what I saw seemed like a huge joke and all I could do was laugh, but as I continued to watch I realized that this wasn't a joke. People dressing up like ridiculous superheros saving one town at a time? Some "fighting villains" and others helping their fellow man by giving gifts of hope. Although the costumes were insane and still hilarious. I couldn't help but love these people. They ...are the crazy ones who see things differently. The ones who I love! The ones who know that they can change the world! Wow..I was touched by the way some of these people were giving. This wasn't a joke. This was real. So with that being said...How could I get involved? How can we get involved? Please get involved. You won't regret it for one minute..
Please share this event!
If you would like to be involved please consider hitting up the dollar store and creating a "care package" with items such as:
-a roll of toilet paper
-toothpaste/tooth brush
-deoderant
-socks
-a snack
-perhaps something sweet (in World War 2 the soldiers would treasure their chocolate and when they hit some of their darkest hours they would take out the chocolate and share it to raise the moral of their brothers)
-hot hands (it's going to be cold soon and these work wonders on cold nights)
-tampons
-wipes
-hand sanitizer
-a few diapers
-chapstick
-gloves
-lotion
-what makes you feel comfortable and at home?
-dog bones
-cat food
-soap
-shampoo/conditioner
-crayons/coloring book
-a book
Thank you in advance for anyone who jumps on board to help!
Mrs. Springfield USOA 2021. Be the change, be a volunteer has been a lifelong passion of mine . Having been born an orphan back in the 60’s, I went through foster care as well as the adoption process here in the United States. Though I felt as an outsider looking in most of my life since I was placed with a family who had biologically born children in the family, I nevertheless, feel blessed that I had a roof over my head and food to eat. Having a family of my own is of high importance to me. Being able to overcome the diagnosis of infertility due to cancer cells within my reproductive organs, my husband Bruce and I were ecstatic to welcome the birth of our daughter in 2006. Feeling as if my life is bountiful I give back to others by serving as a volunteer for numerous organizations and helping orphans in need. We have personally provided and delivered care packages and supplies to orphans in Mexico and Africa. I feel that providing personal attention in the form of a party for the orphans is integral to providing hope for children to see that others do care. I am thrilled to be married to the man of my dreams, a mother to my miracle child and the referee to our two black labs.
