Today I want to talk about Charlie's most recent good turn. He's been helping a friend down size after her husband's death. It's been four years and she is ready to start letting go.
Michael had been quite a clothes horse. He had lots of them! Going through it all, sorting for donation to a shelter, donation to a thrift store, or the trash was a big job. Finally it was all done and Charlie offered to take the shelter donations to the mission in Everett (this filled up his car, there was so much).
Anyway, Charlie gets to the mission and the young man on duty helps him unload his car, he can't believe the quantity of clothes! After they were all done the young man sheepishly looks at Charlie, clears his throat and looks away. Then he does it again. Finally, he works up the nerve ... you wouldn't happen to know anyone that wears size 13 shoes would you? Evidently this man just joined a bowling league, but couldn't afford to purchase the bowling shoes in his size.
Charlie promises to see what he can do and puts out the call. Thankfully our network is extensive! Not long afterwards our friend Caitlyn responds that she'll put out the word to her bowling league ... and in just a couple of days, Ta Da ... big bowling shoes!
