Thank you Hamlin Plantation and Friends for making the

 Hamlin Helping Hands 3rd Annual Regift Event and Auction
a Tremendous Success!

The Hamlin Plantation community raised nearly $3400 in cash donations, with $1900 generated from a silent auction.  And donations are still coming in!  In addition, they delivered 2 huge SUVs of new, critically needed items for Lowcountry Orphan Relief! 

Susie Lee and Brenda Roberts attended from LOR.  Susie Lee did an excellent job explaining who LOR is and what our immediate and long term goals are.
