Christmas Family - Decision Time!!

OK guys....it's time to get serious about our Christmas family/families. I hope most of you read about the family that was suggested to us (see the post dated October 28.) Before insurance the family is already looking at over $300,000 in medical bills. I had mentioned that the mother had been taken to the hospital that day. After all her tests, it was found that she had some kind of seizure and cannot be left alone with the baby or continue to babysit for the next two months (think loss of income!)

I had originally suggested that we call the Salvation Army to adopt a second family, but then someone else thought maybe we should keep it to this one particular family. If we adopt one family, we would probably put a lot of the money toward GC for electric bills and gas bills, not just more presents. What do you think? We'll do the poll thing again to get some votes coming in. Please vote within the week so that we can start getting things going.

Also, if you would like to participate, please email me and let me know the amount you would like to give. You can mail it to me by check at any time, 1406 Edenton Dr. FW 46804. Our hope is to get all the money collected by Thanksgiving so we can start shopping!!
