I’m running a raffle of sorts. Our yard has what seems to be a pumpkin that’s going to grow much larger than anyone would have expected a kindergarten project to end up. Take a guess at how much the pumpkin will weigh when we snip it from the vine!

I’ve also been digging out Pokemon cards and sealed products to sell as some of the items from my personal collection have skyrocketed in value. I’ve been able to get a small emergency buffer built up for our outreach program through the sale of these items.
If you collect or play Pokemon, Lorcana or Star Wars Unlimited or know anyone else who does, feel free to check out Cardboards For Good on TCGPlayer. 100% of proceeds from sales in the store go to outreach and transition support funds. You can find the store below.
Next week’s update will have more information, but thanks to a generous recurring donation, we have managed to become solvent for our transition support program!
