For my very first blog entry, I'd like to start with an easy CHALLENGE! It's simple and is promised to give you an extra spring in your step this holiday season!
CHALLENGE #1:
HELP MAKE CHRISTMAS HAPPEN FOR OTHERS!
If you personally knew someone who went to sleep every night clutching a growling stomach, wouldn't you DO something for them?Now imagine that's you. Wouldn't you hope beyond hopes that someone out there who HAS the ability to help you ... would help?
I have come across some people who have humbly asked for some blessings this Christmas.
1) "V" - a single mother of a 7 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl. Last year, they had to relocate to Saskatoon with only their clothes. They recently moved into a new place with nothing but a bed, a dresser, and their clothes. Any donations of food, furniture, or gifts would truly give this family a REAL CHRISTMAS.
2) "S" - a 20 year old girl who took in her siblings: a 5 year old boy, and three girls aged 10, 13, 16 years. She can barely afford food and anything would help. There are apparently 6 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment.
3) "J" - a father of 4 kids and cannot afford gifts this Christmas. Any gently used toys you no longer need would be appreciated - three girls aged 2, 3, and 4; one boy age 9.
4) "D" - a father with a wife and 2 toddlers who will likely be evicted in January due to inability to pay rent. They need food right now. (And maybe gifts for the kiddies?)
5) Our Furry Friends: - The SPCA as well as a non-profit animal shelter is looking for donations of dog or cat food, bird food, small animal food, timothy hay etc... They rely on people for help but don't always have enough and anything is deeply appreciated.
The SPCA has a wish list: click here to see the list
I will be collecting FOOD (both the human and pet variety) and GIFTS for these people to deliver on December 22nd. Any extra food would go directly to the Food Bank.
You literally have the ability to give someone else a CHRISTMAS ... So will you?
YOUR MISSION,
should you choose to accept it:
1) Email me at friendindeed@hotmail.ca to say you are going to help.
