Community yardsale for a cause

A letter from a reader about a big yard sale with charitable overtones.

Hi --

It would be a huge help if you could post this!!!

My 6 year old son has a developmental disability that mirrors autism at about 90% - but because he doesn't fit neatly into any diagnostic categories, the therapies and testing that he needs are not always covered by insurance. Our medical bills, understandably, tend to get out of control. We are trying to catch up on medical bills and pay them off (or at least get back to zero so we can start all over again!), and to that effect we are having a multi-family yard sale on Saturday June 13th on Stonemark Trail (across from La Vergne High School, off Chaney.)

Included in the yard sale:

boys clothing, age 4 to 7 (school clothes AND play clothes)
girls clothing, age 2 to 6
several girls party dresses, age 2 to 6
baby clothes -- mostly girl
women's clothing - L and XL
men's clothing - L and XL
shoes: girls, boys, women's

a Boppy
an Eddie Bauer infant car seat with two vehicle bases
toddler ride-on toys
golf clubs
lots of children's books
VHS, DVDs, and books
stereo with two speakers
2 table lamps
Precious Moments wedding figurine
Fisher Price Shake & Go Speedway + 2 cars
and lots of other random stuff!

Shoppers will also have an opportunity to buy Lance Armstrong "Livestrong" bracelets for 50 cents each. My bike-riding husband is participating in the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Austin, TX in October. Proceeds from bracelet sales will go directly to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Thanks, and hope to see you on Saturday!!!

The cause is good, so go for it.
