Staying strong...?

Question

My friend and I had a 300 people combinded birthday for our 14th birthday. We didn't want to have 300 presents, and honestly didn't need it. In 100 nvitations we asked for a bag of Natural Balance dog/cat food for the shelter. In 100 we asked for diapers and wipes for an organization that gives them to people who can barely afford them. In 100 we asked for a toy for the homeless shelter playroom, that doesn't have any toys.

We had the party Saturday. All the gifts (well donations) were brought to my house in a couple trucks/cars. We got 77 bags of cat food and 107 bags of dog food. We have 139 toys and 62 books. We have 186 boxes of diapers and 76 boxes of wipes.

Amazing that people are so nice though! We also got a few Coach wristlets, giftcards, on top of all the donations. Anyway, we are going to deliver the things tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'm going to be upset. We're actually going to see the people/animals we're helping. I think I'm going to get really upset and stuff. What can I expect? Im afraid I'm going to get upset. How can I make myself strong for these people?

Answer 3

Your story almost made me tear up just reading it.  You could try biting your tongue.  I mean literally biting your tongue to cause a tiny bit of pain. That's what I do when I'm about to get upset.  It keeps me from bawling my eyes out in front of others.

Answer 4

.  You seem like a wonderful person, and the people you are helping will be very grateful that you helped them.

Answer 5

You are already strong for what you've just done! Giving up your birthday gifts to help others - wow, that's awesome.  Just go and see it through; you might cry, but so what? You might see people or animals in tremendous need, but you can be assured that what you did will make a difference to many of them.  Giving of yourself is an emotional experience.  You may find that you gain more out of this than you ever expected. Congratulations on your generosity.  Keep up the good work.

Answer 6

Don't get upset you are helping them and making their day better whether it be human or animal. IF you see upsetting things take it as a lesson to keep helping other and encouraging others to do so.

I commend you and your friend so much for the nice things you have done, keep it up. It's rewarding to them and youself.
