I need your help.
After our first trip to the orphanage, many of you, our friends and family, emailed or called asking what you could do to help. I wasn’t sure at the time of the details concerning donations of toys to the children. I have today learned that we are able to accept donations of new, unwrapped, and unused toys for boys and girls between the ages of 3 to 16 in the monetary range of $10-$20. Up until now, one spouse has been doing the majority of the buying from her own checkbook, with very little outside help. We have 12 children having a birthday this month alone and really need to call in the reinforcements!
I would love to ask anyone who wishes to donate, to please send a gift or two, or how ever many you can afford to send. This is such a dear cause to me. These children are amazing, wonderful, and beautiful children. This birthday gift may very well be the only gift they’ll receive this year, and will truly be treasured. Words can’t begin to describe the way their faces light up when they receive their birthday present.
I know money is tight for a lot of people right now. Gas is up, the economy is down. But if you can find a little extra money to spare, you could put it to no greater cause. We will go to the orphanage on the 27th this month. If you are able to mail your gift(s) off by next Monday, it will most likely make it here in time for our visit.
I can’t begin to thank you enough for your support of this cause, which is so close to our hearts. Please feel free to message me if you do not already have our address.
