With a $50 card,I would buy one of our 4 dear neighbor families (who all deserve a heartfelt thank you from us) a family fun pack of movie, game, frosty root beer, movie candy and yummy popcorn in a nice thank you pack for basically helping raise our kids this past year when I am not well enough to drive or run errands. My neighbors are like my family. We were truly directed to our house and now know it was in the BIG PLAN. We could never do enough for them...with one income it is impossible...but I would give them the world if I could...
