Hi Again,
Unfortunately, for two weeks I went to check the boxes, and for two weeks, nothing happened. Then my best friend told me about a website. On this site, you could post what you were looking for or what you had that you didn't want to go to waste. Here, I posted that I was looking for new or gently used blankets and books.
Within four days, I'd gotten three responses. One lady's daughter had previously had cancer but had won and had over ten blankets she wanted to donate. Another lady had gone through teaching herself all kinds of things. And one man had lots of kids who'd got older, so he donated all the teenager books he had.
Lucky for me, some people had started taking notice of my boxes and started dropping off all their blankets and books. As I expected, there were a lot of books I really couldn't use, but a lot of the books were really nice. Plus, there were tons of blankets being dropped off too. Eventually, there was no room left in my room for anymore blankets or books.
At this point, my dad helped me load the boxes into his truck and we took them away. The sign was taken down but about a week later, I got a call saying that somebody had left even more blankets at the library. Thankfully, it was the last one I got.
