2012 HOLIDAY DONATION THREAD- Some messages from the moms for those who donated.

12/20- Some more messages the moms wanted me to share:

--I am overwhelmed by the generousity of our community. Thanks to you and the other LIF moms, my son will never know that this Christmas was any different from the others to come.

--Hi !
I just wanted to thank you once again for organizing this special donation. It was so nice of you to take the time out to do this. You and all of the LIF ladies who contributed are amazing. Thank you all so much for giving us some cheer during the holiday season. All of the gifts were greatly appreciated and will be put to good use. God Bless all of you. Happy Holidays !!


UPDATED 12/17- I have messages from some of the moms that they wanted me to share with you...

--To All Those Who Helped Donate to My Kids This Holiday Season,
May God bless you and your families. We will never forget the kindness you have shared. THank you again.
With all our love and thanks,
The ******* Family

And from another mom:

--I am totally floored by the generosity of the LIF community. Thank you so much for everything. Thanks to them for opening their hearts to my children. I wish they could be their Christmas morning to see the smiles.

Thank you again.

I don't even know if there is enough thank yous to express just how grateful I really am.



***UPDATED 12/11/12***
Well, it's more or less a wrap for 2012! Whether the year my kids were the beneficiaries of your generosity or the years I have had the honor of organizing, the generosity of the people of LIF truly astounds me. Beginning on Thursday, I will start distributing the presents. 11 LIF children had their Christmas dreams come true. Babies got diapers and formula. Children have warm clothes, hats, boots, and coats. You guys rock.

I'm leaving the list up so people can check to see if their gifts were received. Also, I'm putting up a picture of my basement. It's actually very organized, although it looks crazy on the picture. I swear, I am very organized!! Look what you guys did, it's crazy!!

We'll donate toward the 15 year old girl.

Can you ask the mom if a Target giftcard would be good, so they can put it toward the camera or clothes? Or do they prefer a different store?

Also, would a Michaels gc be good to replace some of her art supplies?

CathyB, if you want to chip in together for a camera I would be happy to split it. I think we could find one that was reasonable enough. Let me know.

I believe several people can donate to each kid, since there are a few things they are requesting.

Meaghan- will you be adding more children to the list or is this it?



Wondering the same. Would definitely like to buy something, but do not want to duplicate something someone else already bought. Please let me know if there is a way to avoid this. Thanks
