I really almost didn’t post this. But, I feel like community, unity, and fellowship are all key elements of the holiday season. I’m not making this post to brag, or boast, it’s a call to all friends, colleagues, and others to help people this season.

We’re working through our church to help a family of five that is just now getting housing. They have been homeless for quite a while, and down on their luck. We are going to be helping them to have a Christmas they will remember, to see that even when things seem bleak, that people are there to make a difference, to help one another.

Our family we’re adopting this holiday season consists of a Mom, Dad, and three kids, a boy 9, a boy 13, and a girl 15. We’re going to do everything in our power to make this family feel joy, excitement, and peace.

Your call to action is to help. That’s right. Have something you could donate? Something you don’t use, that someone else would be excited to have? How about a few bucks? Click the link below to donate money that will be used for Christmas presents for the whole family.

By Friday, I’m hoping to have a list of needs/wants, so if you’re uncomfortable donating money, or feel you could help in other ways, I’ll be posting their needs soon.

We’re scaling back what we spend on our friends and even family this year, and instead focusing this on this family in need. We are so excited to help others this year, we realize how blessed and fortunate we are.

I would like to set a goal of $1000, any small amount you choose to donate is GREATLY appreciated. Every single cent of this money will be used to procure gifts and or needs for this family, if there is any leftover, the cash will be gifted to them as well. If you need a receipt, I will write one up for you, just be sure to request one in the message field.

Keep an eye out on this blog, I’ll post updates as to how much people have donated.

Just take a second and think about how blessed and fortunate you are this season. Cherish your friends and family and help others if you’re able to.

Thanks for your time.
