I given tons and tons of clothes away in the past 3 years. Sometimes to goodwill or I'll sell some to a resale store. I've given tons to my sister. I also gave the other ton to my co-workers friends daughter. She's 21, just recently got married and they don't have
alot of money. When I heard she was having a girl I asked Virginia (my friend)if she would want any clothes. She said they will take anything I can spare. So she came over one day last fall. I gave her 5 huge, I mean the giant garbage bags of clothes..ranging from 3months to 24months. I was a little sad knowing I would never see the clothes again, but happy because they would be getting used by someone that needs and wants them.
Anyway, Virginia told me she just went to her 1st birthday party. Virginia commented on the babies dress and the mom said this is a dress from Kim. She said they love all the clothes and the baby wears them all the time. That made me feel good that they are appreciated and are getting some use. Hopefully, she'll pass them on to someone else that will need them.

It makes me really happy when the clothes I have given away are appreciated, too.
Very cool. It makes my heart warm to think about my girls clothes being loved again too.
I'm really into passing clothes on now - it's a lovely thought that someone else is getting use out of something
That's awesome! What a great feeling to know that you are helping someone out!:)
I love pay it forward stories.
I have lots that I'm holding onto...hoping my sister will be able to have another someday.
It's so nice that your friend lets you know how much she appreciates the thought. Most of the things are probably like new.....seems they barely wear them before growing.
