Request from Susan

I have a family in Toms River who has become the guardian of the toddler daughter of their sister's child.  The little girl's  Dad died from Prostate cancer and she never knew him.  Her Mom was killed in a car accident this past year.  The family is struggling to get by and struggling with the "system" for benefits for the little one.  The grandmother and her grown daughter were working staggered shifts in order to care for the little girl.  The daughter recently lost her job due to the economy - started with reducing hours - that whole thing.   We have managed to provide a very nice Christmas - materially, for them.  They have been waiting and waiting for help with food etc.  and considering how MANY are in need one can understand why it's taking so long - but don't try to tell that to a hungry child.

Is there anyone out there that would be so kind as to donate some Shop-Rite gift cards to this family?  If so, would you please email me at:  suzann@reysofhope.com - I will see to it that they get to these folks.

Thank you - Susan
