Last Month’s Drop: The Aubins!

(Episode #4 of 4)

Another GREAT Love Drop everyone!!! We headed out to the Detroit area this month to share your gifts and love with the Aubins, and we were very happy with the way it turned out :)

This Drop was unique in that we were celebrating the continuing gift of life someone gave even after his passing. We had feared that it could get pretty sad, but it ended up being a joyful occasion full of fond memories and happy faces. And at the end we gave them enough money to cover almost three months worth of rent! As well as another special gift you’ll have to watch and learn about – it was our favorite, and theirs too ;)

Thank you all for making this month special! Click here to learn about July’s Drop recipient: Felicity

  • Three months rent! ($3,500) – Our goal was to help pay as much rent as we could for them, and as always our team pulled through! We raised almost exactly three months worth of rent, on top of a whole BUNCH of other gifts we’re about to list off ;) Good work guys!!
  • A bench in honor of their dad, Keith Aubin We wanted to celebrate Keith’s life in a way that was both respectful and long-lasting, and one of our team members came up the idea of dedicating a bench in his honor to be placed in a local park. We ran with it, and the Aubins absolutely LOVED it :)
