The Box (Flash Fiction)

It starts out as a flat piece of cardboard, I add some tape to make it hold its shape.

Sometimes I'll decorate the inside as if it were an extra hug.

I then pick out the items to fill the void. Each item is special and filled with love and joy. I place them in the box with care. I make sure the box is full with no room to spare. Once I think its full I close it and give it a shake. Then comes the smaller things. Each is like a hug, I want to show you my love how much I care.

Gathering sheets & Blankets for heroes.

Yes this FRG volunteer, and Soldiers Angel is rounding up 100 sets of twin bed sheets.

Why?

The 1-7 ADA stationed at Ft Bragg is returning from deployment. There are 100 single soldiers that will be put into an empty barracks room. They will most likely come in late at night and have very little with them. No one wants to see these soldiers sleeping on bare mattresses their first night back in the USA. We want to make their barracks rooms inviting and welcoming. 

So I have been asked to round up 100 sets of twin bed sheets, 100 wash cloths, 100 bath towel, and 100 sets of toiletries. 

If any of my readers want to help me reach this goal email me at

I will happily accept all donations.

Even 1 set will help.
