Christmas Joy 2013

[Translate]

christmasjoy 1This card was made by a child that YOU helped at Christmas Time.  While they can’t thank you personally, we try to provide ways that they can say a little thank you.

 

This child will need an angel again this year!

 

Angels are needed to help make Christmas a little more special and magical than what it will be for some deserving children.  

 

Angels that will reach into the back of their hearts and memories and remember what Christmas morning as a child was like.  They will remember the anticipation of seeing presents under the tree weeks before Christmas and the joy of knowing that several of the gifts had YOUR name on it.

 

We need angels that will remember how sleep would often escape them as Christmas Eve stars twinkled with delight, knowing that when the morning came, it would bring Christmas with it!

 

These same Angels know that there are many children who will not see presents under the tree weeks before Christmas…perhaps even Christmas Eve.  They also know that many will not even put up a Christmas tree, because, without gifts under there – what is the use?

 

Have you ever had a mom tell you that?  We have.  It is a heart wrenching fact to know that there are those who will not even put up their tree because they do not want the pain and disappointment of no presents to affect their children.  Truth is – it WILL affect them.

 

We can change this!

We just need to work together!

We need Angels that will help in any way possible!

We need Y O U!

 

While I understand that we can’t help everyone, we can make a difference for some amazing kids and in doing so, impact their hearts for a lifetime!

 

Here is how you can partner with us and help:

 

  • Give – Make a financial donation using the pay pal button over on the side bar or mailing in a donation to PO Box 1771 Denver NC 28037 – Will you consider a monthly gift?  **As a “thank you” ALL Donations of $25 or more will receive a book or cd of your choice** (we will email you a list of what is available for you to choose from)
  • Collect Toys or Gift Cards – Ask your company, your church, your small group, Sunday School or family to help you collect toys and/or gift cards! Even if you only collect 10 toys, that will go a long way to help!  NO amount is too small! (If your organization decides to help in this way, please let me know so that I can list you below.)
  • Donate a Toys R Us Gift Card – You can send us a gift card online and not have to pay shipping. Here is a PDF that shows how to do that
  • Share this Page – Share this page DAILY on twitter and often on your other Social Media Platforms!
  • Purchase Toys and send to us – yes the shipping may be a bit more, but I know the JOY of purchasing toys for kids that need the help.  You can even send $10 McDonald or Walmart gift cards to help save with the cost of shipping. Every single one helps! (PO Box 1771 Denver NC 28037)
  • Email and Ask – Send a link to this page in an email challenging everyone you know to give at least $5 or $10 towards the Christmas Needs of Children.  Get your child to mail in a buck or 2 and I’ll send them a card and photo after the event so they can keep it.
  • Get your Children Involved – Teaching kids to give to children less fortunate will enable them to be adults that give.  Arrange time at a local Walmart or Kmart and collect toys with them.  Adults will love helping kids that help other kids!
  • Help with Our Candy Store – We want to be able to provide the kids a time of “shopping” in a huge candy store.  We had 30 different candies they were able to get last year and need to do the same this year.  Pick up half price Halloween candy when it goes on sale and ship to us at the address listed above.
  • Come and Volunteer – We will need people to help set up, to manage “areas”, to help wrap, to pick up food, clean up and crowd control.

 

Our Event is December 14th at noon.  We would love to have you!
