I also agree that it wouldn't hurt to ask. It's Amy decision and
nobody else's, if she wants to try and sell the luggage she will
if she wants to donate it to the foster children then she'll do
that. Either way it's really none of your cousin's business.

But our OP didn't want that bolded to be an option.
She didn't want Amy to try to sell it; that's why the cousin
thought it would be unfair to involve Amy, to get her to spend
energy on something that she was forbidden to profit from.

Mimi and I connected yesterday and I received Mimi's
"orientation." I really like Mimi, she has a heart for the
mission and is funny and a tad irreverent. My favorite kind of
person!
Besides Mimi definitely wanting the luggage here are couple
gems from the call -Mimi explained that she needs clothing from
infant to 5xl and that it should be age appropriate for teens. I
said, "I'm at midlife to but still dressing a little young." She
said, "I know, I can tell from your voice."
🤣😂🤣 (I also told her I get ThredUp
rescue boxes once in a while and the things that are too young
will go straight to her.)
Mimi was explaining that things need to be in good shape, no
stains etc. She gave some examples of what people wanted to
donate and got offended when she refused (a dead husband's
entire wardrobe and another deceased husband's underwear :o . )
Mimi said, "I'm tired of hearing 'They lived through the
depression and can't throw anything away,' they've had 80 years.
Get over it!"
Mimi also does things for fire victims so I can send housewares
to her.
Cousin's strong response and all of your thoughtful replies
kicked me into action. I'd been in a "fixin' to fix" state of
mind basically "I should probably get around to..." and this
spurred me straight into getting it done.

Is Mimi Amy?

No, Mimi is the charity person to whom Amy gives the stuff she
wasn't able to sell.
[quote]... "... I wanted to get them straight to foster kids. I
know you have some connections there. How would I go about it?"
She [Amy] gave me her contact, Mimi, who lives in our same town!
I left a message for Mimi.
