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.

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
