May 2011 – - – Technically, the 2010-2011 school year has NOT finished for many children. But, here I am again, preparing for the 2011-2012 school year.
The summer will have come and gone before you know it. School will be back in session in the blink of an eye. So (you ask) WHY, exactly are you starting to Back to School 2011 NOW, in May?
I’m so glad you asked me that. Here is what is going on in my heart.
I’m looking for people all over the world that will partner with me for $25.00 a month for the next few months, to help get as many back packs filled with back to school supplies as possible. I have a goal of 500, but would love to exceed that goal.
So, YOU – (the reader) could give BIG, without breaking the bank by donating $25.00 a month in May, June, July and the first week of August. That would be $100.00 total and it won’t put a financial strain on your family.
What will YOUR gift of $25.00 a month purchase over the next few months?
Another really great question.
I’ll tell you:
• Book Bag
• Spiral Notebook
• Ruler
• Glue (in bottle)
• Glue Stick
• Pack of Pencils
• Pack of Pens
• Bottle of Hand sanitizer
• Pack of Colored Pencils
• Pencil Sharpener
• Pack of Loose Leaf Notebook Paper
• Highlighter
• 2 Pocket Folders
• Pack of Index Cards
• Pencil Holder
• Crackers
• Reesecups
• Other Snacks
But, wait! That is NOT all. Your gift of $25.00 a month for the next few months will also provide the following for several wonderful children:
• Mile Wide Smiles
• Heart of Gratitude
• Motivation for tomorrow
• Encouragement for today
• Hope for a bright future, because “someone” cared
• Pride in a job well done
• Eagerness to use awesome supplies
• Pure Delight each time they unzip the bag and remove the supplies
• Courage as they realize that even though they aren’t certain about tomorrow, today looks very clear
• Enthusiasm for others as pure joy is spread all around
• Awareness to a child that may otherwise overlook those that are even less fortunate than he/she is
Don’t you want to have a HUGE part in THOSE gifts? I sure do. Help us reach our goal of 500 back packs filled with back to school items, snacks and HOPE! Give HERE – safely, securely and with pride, regardless of the amount!
It’s not the size of the gift…but the size of the heart!
