Taylor's Story
From WPU Alumna Taylor Peatross
".........this past Saturday that's (Oak City Outreach Center in Raleigh) where I went. I had a plastic container full when I arrived around 11:15. Just walking up to the building I had people stopping and asking if they could have one to take to their kids. I walked around through the building giving them away to people who came up. It all happened so fast I didn't have time to get many pictures. It did not take 20 minutes before they were all gone (I wish I had had more). The pictures attached were taken of some of the last kids I saw, they were happy. The boy has a manatee and the girl has a white dog with a red heart around one of its eyes. It felt great being able to give these away and make people happy."
