A GIFT OF HOPE

It's that time of year again!! Shelves are being stocked with decorations for the holidays and the newest toys of the season!! Families are busy making holiday travel plans and the kids are already writing their wish list to Santa!! Those lists include the latest video games, a new bike, an ipod or even a new computer while some small child a world away only dreams that for once in his life Santa would actually remember him!! As we carefully plan our holiday feast full of turkey, ham, dressings, pies, and more food than we could ever eat some weary mother just wishes she could feed her child for the night! It's a sad reality of our world and the world around us. We so often take our lives and blessings for granted and never even stop to think about someone less fortunate!! Well I challenge each of you this year to consider a family living in extreme poverty in Guatemala. Make one child or mother's holiday dream come true!! For the price we purchase a holiday specialty dessert we can provide a needy family a food basket!! For a one time $30 donation you can provide a food basket for a family who can really use the holiday cheer!! With this donation you will receive a photo of the family receiving their food basket just in time for the holidays!! You can hang that photo on your fridge where you can be reminded of the wonderful life saving gift you gave!! You may wonder why I say life saving but many of these families we reach out to each year during Project Santa are living in extreme poverty with the majority of them being malnourished!! You may provide the first meal they have eaten in days by simply donating a basket. I mean how awesome of a gift is this?? How awesome would it be to know that you helped a child go to bed full instead of hungry for the first time in a long time?? I think it's an amazing feeling!! So as you give thanks for all your blessings this holiday season please consider blessing another family through the donation of a food basket!! I need all funds in by December 1st in order to have all funds processed in time for the trip! As of right now our goal is to raise $3,000 to purchase mass quantities of food for distribution so please consider giving today!!

There are two ways you can donate! You can donate through the pay pal button to the right or by mailing in a check to the address provided to the right!! I want to thank you in advance for your support of the food basket drive and I will continue to update you on the amount we have raised!! Below I have shared some photos of the distribution days during Project Santa 2009. I hope you enjoy:)
