I couponed faithfully for almost 2 years thanks to Southern Savers. Unfortunately I had to stop last September when my 5 yo was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Thankfully, 3 months of chemo and a bone marrow transplant later he is doing well. Throughout it all, we only had to run to the store for fresh milk and veggies. And, my stockpile is still going strong! I had enough personal items that I could keep makeup and hair stuff and whatever else I needed at home and at the hospital, and not have to bother with packing a bag going back and forth when taking turns and staying the night. Even now that we are back home, my freezer was full so I am using that up. It makes things so nice as I cannot take my son out shopping yet. When he is allowed a bit more freedom as to going to germy stores, I'll start couponing again. So, if any of you are on the fence about keeping a stockpile, my advice to you is DO IT!

Now to how you can help. While my son was in the hospital for 4.5 months, once every week a couple of fabulous ladies came around with a cart FULL of toys or books. They are called Happy Wheels. No matter how awful my little man felt that day, he always got out of his bed and was thrilled when he got to pick something from Happy Wheels. Anyways, a local Columbia company is having a contest between several charities, and the winner will win $1000. If Happy Wheels can win, that would buy A LOT of books and toys for sick children in the hospital. The contest runs the rest of this month and all you have to do is go to www.facebook.com/SunPrintingInc and post "Happy Wheels" on their page once a day. It takes just a few seconds to do each day. Please help them win! Thank you so much!
