I nanny a four year old little girl, K. I have been her nanny for about 8 months now and am absolutely in love with her. Her mom donates clothing often to the IRC and recently gave me a lot of her daughters clothes which I distributed among our newest refugee clients. When I knocked on the door to a new Eritrean family in order to deliver a sofa, a little girl answered the door wearing K's favorite dress. Last winter K adored this dress and wore it for at least 5 minutes every day that I saw her. It is now obvious that this is now the little Eritrean girl's favorite dress. I had to snap a picture to share it with the donor. I often have this unique perspective--I donate many of my own clothes and household items and see it among lots of different refugee families. Most other donors never see their donated goods again, unlike me who sees my 'old' things pop up all the time on other people and in other homes! It is beautiful.
