First Post

Two nights ago we posted the following ad to Allegany County Freecycle:

Offer: A Day's Work

Free - If you need help around the house, we'll be there. No strings attached
(no solicitations for work, no religious motives, etc.); just trying to teach my
son about the importance of charity. No job too big or too small, but must take
no more than one day to accomplish. Sundays only. Please email
brooke7909@... or call 585-808-8207 and leave a message. Thanks!

So far we've gotten a number of well wishers and two requests, one vague and one specific:

1. Where do you live? Would be interested in a little help around house. Thanks.

2. Hello!
My name is XXX and we are located in Fillmore. I am a single mom and had back surgery this past August. I am on disability for another month and have some easy yard work that could be done. Basically a clean-up before the snow hits us.
I am not sure how long the weather will hold, and it is ok if you have had too many requests already.
This is a great idea...and thank you for being willing to bless others!
Thank you!
XXX
