A Note from a friend
Hey Everyone,
There is a group of four of us that are trying to give a wonderful Christmas to 21 children who have been taken from their parents because of abuse and/or neglect and are living in a "safehouse" in an undisclosed location in Shelton. The four of us are having the kids come to my cousin's store (which is very much like a Build-a-Bear store) and make animals and eat pizza, play games etc....This is a Christmas party that WE are paying for them to have.
However, we don't want these children to wake up on Christmas morning and think that Santa did not come to them or that they had been bad or whatever. Therefore, we are each committed to raising a minimum of $400.00 each to go out and buy them gifts to have on Christmas morning. WE will buy them whatever the director says they want.....of course they all need clothes but we are focusing on toys, i-pods, cool sneakers, etc....., depending on the actual ages.
I am asking all of you for your help. I know the economy is bad right now and we all need all the money we can get but imagine the feelings these kids will have if on Christmas morning, Santa has not come. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH A SMALL DONATION! We are attempting to have all donations in my December 1st so we have time to get the shopping done and wrapped. If we have left over money, we will use it for decorations for the house that the children live in.
You can send me a check (made out to me or made out to cash) you can drop off cash, or because of my jewelry bank account, i can even take credit cards (mc or visa). If you want to do credit card, I need the account number, expiration date and three digit code on the back of the card.
Believe me, you will feel really great about yourself after helping out these poor kids. I am commited to making this Christmas a special one for them and I hope you will be too. Thanks in advance for your help! Oh yea, my address is :
