552 Bags of JOY

[Translate]

b2c in each bag

Pure Joy! This was our biggest year ever and we have Y O U to thank! 

552 Bags of Joy, love and hope were given out just because Y O U R heart cared! 

You Gave 552 bags of supplies that were also overflowing with great love! Your tweets day in and day out brought donations from people that I have never even heard of and because of that Y O U were able to help 552 children have a bag of supplies full of HOPE!

Y O U shared, you prayed, you gave and because of that these kids were hugging their bag as though they were hugging YOU back and in a way they were!

Do you see what you were able to give to them? These bags were loaded this year!

Check this out!

  • FIVE Spiral notebooks!
  • Bottle of Glue
  • Entire Pack of TEN pens
  • Pack of Colored Pencils
  • 24 Pack of Crayons
  • FIVE pencils
  • 2 Cute Erasers (gotta have some fun in there!)
  • Pencil Sharpener
  • TWO Glue Sticks
  • A Ruler
  • TWO Pocket Folders
  • A Highlighter
  • A Pack of Gummies
  • A pack of Reese Cups or some Non Peanut Butter Candy Bar (you know, peanut allergies)
  • and the absolutely cute, colorful Draw-String Bag with our logo on it reminding them that there is No Joy like Spreading Joy!

Your love, your gifts, your donations, your tweets, your work, your emails did all of this and because of you 552 children were able to go back to school with all of these basic school supplies this year and I cannot thank you enough!

I read the heartfelt notes of “I wish I could do more” and thought if 100 more did just what you did, we could double our numbers, so thank you!

I read the tweets of those that couldn’t donate saying they would do all they could to spread the word and thanked them because of their generosity, others would hear about our work and you never know who will give because of that!

Every voice is important! Every gift is huge and every person that worked to make this happen thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you! 

Thank you for impacting these children with Joy and Hope! Thank you for showing these families that people care in a time when anger and hatred are front and center on the news and Social Media! 

Thank you for showing others that no gift is too small and when we put our resources together that an amazing 552 children can be forever impacted for good!

Thank you for caring! Thank you for Spreading Joy with us each and every day! Thank you for caring for others and for making a difference! 

Thank you! 

 

Please share this page on all of your Social Media pages so that others can see just how easy it is to make a difference!

With great love, hugs, adoration and JOY!

Marie

      We just hope that one day, when things are looking up for these kids that they will remember that someone cared and showed them the love of Jesus.
