Update on Christmas Assistance

Just wanted all of you to know where we stand with the children whom we are trying to gather gifts for.

We have all that we need now for the family with the 8, 7 and 6-year-olds. (They are going to be incredibly happy!!!)

I think that we have just about everything that is needed for the family with the 5 and 3-year-olds and the baby. (Those little ones are going to feel unbelievably special!!!)

The family with the 3 boys and 1 little girl, should be set now.

If you have purchased gifts for any of these families, I will GLADLY accept them and pass them on to those kids in time for Christmas! Please let me know as soon as possible if you still have something to contribute to them.

We still need gifts for the three teenagers. At this time, we have nothing to give to them.

Today, I was told of another family of 4 kids who will not be getting anything. In that family, there is one boy who is 13-years-old, and 3 girls who are 8, 13 and 16.

Today is already the 21st of December. Blizzard conditions are expected to start on Wednesday. We are really feeling the crunch if those 7 children are to be helped before Christmas. IF you are able to help, PLEASE CALL ME RIGHT AWAY at 375-4584 or 376-8922. As I've told you before, I literally HATE the first day of school after Christmas Vacation. Many children received plenty of toys, clothes, etc. The ones who I feel so sorry for are the ones who have to sit in their desks and watch Show and Tell while the other kids show their new toys, etc. It's just not fair for them not to have their own treasure to show off.

For those of you who have opened your hearts AND your pocketbooks, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! You are angels and God will definitely reward you! I only wish that I could reward you as much as you deserve!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE AND ALL!!!
