When I was about 20 years old, I was putting on a show at a club in Syracuse and I needed a baseball uniform for one of the actors. I had no clue where to get one and because they are relatively expensive, I couldn't just buy one for a one time use.
My mom and I joked around how it would be so cool to have a Sky Chiefs uniform which was the local Syracuse minor league baseball team at the time. On a whim, my mom called them and somehow got through to someone that had the power to approve something like this and after a few minutes, my mom hung up and said, “We can pick one up on Monday and they said we can keep it as long as we need it.”

We were both thrilled that we were able to get this uniform on loan. We laughed and laughed about it! It added a lot of excitement to the show having a real uniform like this. Of course I learned from watching my mom that it never hurts to ask. Of course it doesn't happen all the time but every once in a while someone will listen to your situation and help you out when you least expect it.
