 JABBERS Are There When You Need Them!
From Angie Michal
Thank you all for your replies with ideas and places to donate our air hockey table. It went to the first reply accepting donations for a youth group that provides a home for unaccompanied immigrant minors. My husband and I had bought the air hockey table for our boys. They had a good time playing but sadly tired of it much sooner than we thought. Still, they were upset when I told them about the post on JustAskBoo but after hearing about where it was going, my oldest son said "I don't feel so bad, now." Thank you JABBERS!
