Taking donations for hula hoop making supplies (needs tape-electrical, duct, glitter, fabric, ribbon, etc.- irrigation tubing, connectors, couplings, old hula hoops that can be restored with no kinks in tubing, extra hands to help deliver and make hoops). It is my goal to make 200 or more hoops for all of the displaced children living in shelters due to devastating tornados in the South. It’s the small joys in life that can keep us strong in our most heartbreaking times. Please let me know if you can help in anyway and if you happen to know which shelters are housing the most children. First stop is Boutwell auditorium in Birmingham. Please send any donations to 1801 4th Ave. N. Pell City, AL 35125 or I can pick up if you are near my area. We will be making a short documentary of our efforts and success over the next few weeks so that you can see your supplies in action and bringing joy to children’s faces. We have much experience with helping children and donating hula hoops. Every year we donate hoops to children in areas of poverty on World Hoop Day and work with The Dream Center and Church of the Highlands providing hoops to inner city children. You can visit our website at http://www.aurahoops.com/ or The Dream Center website at http://churchofthehighlands.com/dream-team
Please send supplies in lieu of monetary donations. This will allow us to make and distribute hoops to storm victims sooner.
I will also be at Hoop Convergence in 2 weeks I will be driving so I can bring supplies home as well as clothing, food, hygeine donations, etc.. Please find me, Brandy Hughes.
Thanks!!
