Arwen's gifts from generous TGers...:)
« on: January 30, 2008, 08:34:00 AM »
Here are some pics of the goodies a few kind people sent to her.

As some of you know, Kelly and I took Michaela in when she was having some family issues.
she is my daughter's best friend and I have known her for about 7 years.

I have been showing her some basics about archery; she took to it like a fish to water!

She is doing very well and has never had much of her own, now she has 2 bows, arrows, a beautiful cane arrow with a stone head, and a dandy little dagger made from damascus steel.

A glove is on the way from Serge, and possibly some hunting clothes for her from Hoarmoan( who also sent her the arrows) :)

She has almost completed the seemingly impossible task of getting 4 high school credits in 2.5 months via home schooling under our cracking whips..! lol

Now she is heading back to high school with a new start, a new attitude and minus a few distractions that were following her last time...

Here are some pics of her stuff, and thanks to all who helped and encouraged her on her way to a new, better life  :bigsmyl:    :notworthy:    :archer:

If you look close you can see her arrows forming a nice group on the bale.

and last but not  least, she took your advice Killy and flung an arrow up and away; just to watch it fly.   :)     ;)    

Thanks again to all that helped her on her journey.
Cary & Kelly.   :)

What a beautifully happy looking young lady - and rightly so - bless her heart. Special props to you and family, Big Dog, and to the generous folks who chipped in for her new start.

I coppied her Full Draw pics and will post them to my TBD pages later today, Cary (gotta go for a meet with the insurance agent right now). May her (and your Daughter's) lives soar like the arrow Michaela sent up at Killie's suggestion. Ya gotta love the flight of the arra!

You and your family are awesome for taking that girl in.  I have a soft heart when it comes to helping and caring for people like that.  Tell her I wish her well w/ her new start.  I find it amazing that the people on Trad Gang (i.e. traditional archers) have such giving hearts.  These are some great people and I'm glad I'm getting involved w/ them

Trad members, close and far away...
Thank you for all the wonderful support and wishes for this very deserving young lady.
   :)   It has been a joy to have Michaela in our home.  She has changed so much in the short time that she has come to live with us.
 Showing that with a little love, support and compassion, people can find the confidence to truly find their unique path in life.  We are proud to have had the opportunity to help her along her journey.   She is a very strong woman and she is destined for great things...

Cheers to all who have helped us to help her,.

The smile on Arwen's face says it all!!!!!    :archer:  

Micheala is a VERY lucky young Lady!!!!! Many,Many Thanks to Cary,Kelly for taking this precious angel into their home.It takes a VERY special type of person to do that,for when you do,you invite that person to become part of your family and you except all of the responsabilies and all of the ups and downs that go with it. I know from experiance that the bonds you form will last a lifetime.

As for the generous fellow TradGangers that helped out.....this does not surprize me.....for this is what we do.....and THAT my Brothers and Sisters and Friends,is what makes me feel honored to be able to call myself a member of the TradGang "family"!!!!!

Many,Many Thanks to ALL!!!!!

It's looks like she has found the right path in life with lots of help...I hope she has a great journey!

In this day, if more people helped struggling kids I do believe it would change the world!

Best of luck, and I bet that was one arrow that she'll always remember!

Make sure you tell her how proud we are of her. And we say a prayer for her, and that she is pround of her self. And anything she sets her mind to, she can do!    :thumbsup:

I have somethings collected already, be a little bit I'm still working on it though!!
