This was a tough one. A very kind parishioner said her grandkids had outgrown their board games, puzzles, and toys. Could we make use of them? Sure!
I walked into the school the next day and walked through a wall of stale cigarette smell (like thick, awful, stale) and a dust ball. The dust ball was similar to the one that followed Charles Shultz's Pigpen through his Charlie Brown Life!
No argument here - the "gift" went right back out the door to the trash.
Sometimes "givers" assume that it does not matter the condition or smell of a gift - a poor kid will like anything!
