A local single mom who was helped by the Rochester Women's
Shelter is seeking donations for a 1/12 scale dollhouse she
is building, furnishing and then donating to the shelter
that she says "literally saved my life." She is seeking
donations to use toward building the dollhouse. Needed
items include: stamps, bubble envelopes, paper, tools,
miniatures, and gift cards to Hobby Lobby. She also accepts
broken dollhouse items as she is able to repair most of
them. If you have something to donate email her at
iamone2008@live.com.
