A new familys request

Dorothy talked with a young boy
who asked her if she could get

He is tired of using McDonalds
plastic spoons & forks.He also
asked if the family could have some
blankets for Christmas.

Dorothy's Christmas Wish 4 Children in Projects

Dorothy is planning on
doing 2 projects in Camden
again this year.And 1 poor section
in Sicklerville.After taking a
survey of the children's Christmas
requests it comes out like this.
The majority of boys first requests
were guns,knives or arrows.Because
we do not give out anything related
to violence Dorothy told them they would
need to think of something else.Their
responses 15 boys wanted sports related gifts,
such as sports cards,sports games & even sports blankets.
3 boys wanted big trucks,4 boys wanted transformers
2 toddlers wanted blocks. Total boys-24
Girls requests were dolls and crafts.Broken down
Dorothy would need 25 black dolls,3 Spanish looking dolls,
2 white barbie dolls,3 crafts and 1educationel toy
for toddler girl. total girls-34
(note*children are a product of their environment,do
you think if these boys lived somewhere else guns,knives
and arrows would of been their first request???
We ask for new toys for Christmas.The majority
of these children also need gloves.
   TOTAL CHILDREN of 3 projects 58.
Not sure how many of these requests we
can fill but we will try our best with the help
of Santas elves.

Peachess has been busy

Besides work she tries to
squeeze in sorting and delivering
items to those with alot less.
Past week she delivered new
colored copy paper about
10 bundles .Lots of lotions,
large bag of toys to the Ronald McDonald
house.They appreciated it very much.Alot
of their toys have been there for years and are
alittle worn.
  She emptied a house by herself
that a man told her she was free to take
whatever she could use.His house
is in foreclosure.
  Did several drop offs to
3 families struggling in Burlington Co.
  Did 2 drop offs in Trenton areas
poor section
  Fed some feral cats and recieved
items from a woman in Browns Mills.

Fr John back in hospitol

IV antibotics he should be as

patches.THANKS DEBBIE

Debbie donated 7 sets of plates

The plates were each a setting
of six.We donated these 7 sets to
six familys.2 of the families
mentioned they were eating
on paper plates.
We also gave 3 differant children
some Dora items.

If we only had 4 doll bodies

 We could have 4 dolls
if we knew how to sew.
These doll faces were someones
left over crafts.They did not
even come with hair.

PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING

The holidays are just
around the corner.Please
consider helping a local
charity if not ours.Or give
to your local food pantry.
Quite a few people have
charities dear to their
hearts.Some give to the Veterans
Association because a family
member was a vet.Or maybe
they lost a loved one to Cancer,
so they donate to a Cancer foundation.
  Whatever one you choose
remember you will not only be helping
someone but making a differance.
A positive one.
If everyone thought more about
others than their selves the world
would be such a nicer place to live in.
We have seen first hand how
donations have brought tears of joy
to those whom are struggling.
Please consider helping someone!

Thanks

We would like to thank
Suzan from Plumsted &
our silent volunteer for
the children clothes.These
items will go to good
use.
Also would like to
thank Debbie for
the 2 black dolls.Now
all we need is 18 more.
Hopefully we will get the
20 by Christmas.
note*we have 3 black doll
faces but none of us know
exactly how to make
dolls out of them.I never
did learn to sew.Wonder if
any child would notice the body
is missing,lol
