Dear Martin,
I hope you are having a blessed holiday season,
Last year we were able to serve 322 children and, of course, we wanted to help way more this year! We got some last minute donations from HELP of Southern Nevada and New Song Lutheran Church that injected some additional momentum when we needed it most. Monday through Thursday, we were able to serve 541 children with very personalized gifts for Christmas. At our blow out toy give away and Mobile Market in the rain yesterday, we served 238 more children.
In total we served 779 children from 253 families!
One mom told us how much it means for her 16 year old, who wants to work in the technology sphere, to get a gaming laptop. Another family we served recently came to the US from Venezuela and didn't have much of anything. Thank you for your support in helping us serve 779 kids!
Thank you especially to Gary and Carolyn, Ann, Pete and JoAnn, Paul K, Christine R, Taylor K, Hibs, Lenox, Brandee, Travis, Angel, Jodi, Michele, Micaela, Daryl, Brenna, Heather, Branden, Carlos, Jacqueline, Joan, Jenny, Polly, Derek, Donna, Alicia, Diane, Donna H, Jason, Doreen, Mari, Phil, Haruna, Jamison, and Granny Alsop. We literally had hundreds of people donate money, give toys, volunteer their time, and transport items during crunch time (special thanks to Mr. Fish). Thank you!
Merry Christmas!
