Sub For Santa

This year we are helping a family undergoing a tough year.  The mother of the family was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis; due to this she has been unable to work.  She has been staying at home caring for 4 young children.  In October, the dad unexpectedly passed away in his sleep from unknown causes.  Unfortunately, he passed away the day before his life insurance policy went through.  His passing left the family devastated and with no income.  We would like to help out with giving this family a good Christmas.  Below is a list of items the family needs and wants for Christmas.  Please pick out an item you think you could help with!  Let's show this family a lot of love this Christmas!  If you can help please e-mail me what you are getting so I can take it off the list.  You can also donate money to get these items as well!  Thanks for all the help and support!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you thank you to all those that helped out with the addiction rehabilitation center holiday project! We were able to collect 17 letters for each guy there, along with a tie and a journal! A special thank you to Braden Whiting for getting all 11 ties needed. The holiday packages were delievered two days before Christmas and were greatly appreciated. The impact the letters made on these men may not be known right now, but I do know the outpouring of love shown will resignate with them. I feel very appreciative for everyone that so willingly helped out. This project had personal meaning to me, and I found it had personal meaning to many others involved. I think it is important to show everyone how much they are cared for, that their lives have meaning, and that they are just as important as everyone else regardless of their past. I believe that goal was accomplished.
