in honor of a young woman who died here in Florida much too soon, there is a great charity in her name called www.beccascloset.org. At this site, you may donate prom style dresses for young women who may not have the sometimes
very ridiculous amounts of money required to purchase a dress for prom or Christmas type dances that most high schools have. If you have any friends with daughters who may have outgrown their dresses or who would like to start a money raising event in order to purchase a few to send to the organization, please send their link to them!
We may be bogged down in more important things as adults like finances, volunteering, parenting, or our careers, but when you are young, looking nice AND having a fun time with friends at a dance can make for some fun albeit bittersweet memories you'll never get to make again. Yes, we get to dress up now to go out dancing, but let's face it, it's not as liberating when you're hoping your kids are in bed and your house isn't burning down.
Make someone's day! Every time you clean out your closets, I bet someone out there could use your junk ;)
