You Helped Us Finish over 100 Handmade Toys for Appalachian Children!

I am so thankful for those who worked the last three Tuesdays carving up 2x4s and 1x materials to make cars and trucks. We will be finishing up the wheels on the last 15 or so trucks and on the cars. The accompanying pictures show the work and dedication to do a complicated build.

These toys will go to The Craddock Center in Cherry Log, Georgia. They will be given to poverty-stricken children in Appalachian schools and nurseries. These gifts will be, for some, the only gifts they will receive during Christmas.  All of you invested time, talent and effort and for that I’ll be eternally grateful and these toys will be around for generations of children to use.

All the best,

Dan
