Wanted Items
My family and friends have been working hard at collecting a variety of objects and items that otherwise would be thrown in the trash. From these items my family and I have been making some cute and crafty handmade items. I will be listing many of these on the 'Store' page of this site as they become available. The others will be sold online at several handmade craft sites as well as in consignment shops in the valley (if possible). Although we have collected quite a few items, there never seems to be enough of the items we need. Below is a list of the items we are in need of now (updated regularly) and a list of items that we will need in the future. If you live in or near West Valley City and can collect or have any of the items below that we need, please contact me using the contact form found at the bottom of my home page. Make sure you list the items that you have and how much of each.
I know these days money is hard to come by, I am living proof of it. I apologize, but at this time I cannot pay anyone for any of the following items, so you must be offering them for free. I am also accepting items through the mail.
In the future I hope to compensate everyone who contributes to my site and helps me obtain a home for me and my family. Check back often for upcoming details on how you can be compensated for your much needed help.

Thank You For Any And All Help!
