I want to thank everyone who donated to MADISONGIVES this year. The total amount this year was 625 toys and gifts that were dropped off to the Buffalo News. Isabella and myself went to the Food Bank of WNY on 12/28/11 and took them a check in the amount of $474.00.
I want to thank a whole bunch of people for their big donations. Brian and Kim Smith for their great donation, My ortho DMD Peter Rouff in Amherst, NY, My Aunt Mitch, My dads friend Joanne Cole and her family. I know I thanked everyone before but here is a GREAT BIG THANK YOU AGAIN. I know we made a lot of kids a lot happier this year. Also I know that the money is going to go a long way to help people this holiday season.

I want to let people know that this summer I am going to do a car wash for can goods and donations so we can give to the Food Bank of WNY. I want to quot a person I met at the Food Bank today, Jeremy Juhsz, He said that hunger is not just during the holidays it is 365 days a year. I learned that the Food Bank hands out over a million pounds of food a month, so the need is great. Please keep on donating when ever you can. Thanks again.

I want to thank everyone that donated to Madisongives this year. We dropped of 585 toys this year. I also have $360.00 left over that I am going to be dropping off at the Food Bank of Western NY. Come back to see those pics.
I also would like to thank the staff at my old day care the best one in the world Amherst Baby and Child Care in Amherst NY. I want to give a big shout out to Wendy at Room to Spare Storage because she had a box of toys waiting for me to pick up and also lent me her truck to use to drop of all of the donations. Thanks again everyone.

These are my great elves Syndi and Jonah putting their 85 toys in the truck! Thanks so much guys you rock!

I am so thankful that my school, Regan Intermediate, (Starpoint School District) was helping out this year with my charity. My principal Mr. Peiffer emailed my flyer to all the teachers and set up a box in the office for people to donate toys. Also Mrs. KIlmer’s 2nd grade class in Fricano took a vote and decided to bring in gifts to be donated to Madisongives instead of doing a gift exchange. Plus my old kindergarten teacher Miss Watson donated some toys. Thanks to my awesome school we collected 96 toys there and it all added up to 585 toys! Thanks everybody!

I want to thank my aunt Pat, Uncle Norm and my cousin Kelly and her family for their donations they dropped off tons of stuff. My Nana just dropped off 2 gift cards for Macy’s from aunt Nikki and Nana. I want to thank the Chases family from my neighborhood for their donation. I also want to thank one of my dads coworkers, Anne Miller for her donation.

I want to thank all of the people that have dropped off money to the First Niagara Bank. Everything that is left I am going to drop off a check to the Food Bank of Western New York. All of us are going to make a lot of people happy this year with toys and food. Way to go everyone. Please come back to my blog tomorrow to see all the toys that everyone donated being dropped off at the Buffalo News. I still have to get the toys from my classmates and teachers at Starpoint Schools and from my sisters and mine old daycare, and from Room to Spare Storage.

I want to thank my friend Ainsley for coming back with her little sister Feona to drop off some more toys. You too are the best. Thank you so much
