Christmas Family Update

We have selected two families for our Christmas families this year. Here is a little information about each of them.

Family #1 - Mom, Dad and two girls. Dad is very sick, unable to take care of himself. Mom also has health issues, but is Dad's caretaker. The girls are teenagers. Melissa has more information about them and can probably tell you more. The only thing the parents have asked for is for something on their car to be fixed. They had gotten a quote for $400 from a shop in Bluffton, Kirby called and got them to take the price down to $300!! Go Kirby! Parts have been ordered and we will be doing that for them. Then we will be buying for the girls as we usually shop for kids.

Family #2 - Single mom and 5 kids. Mom works, first 2 children's father was killed. Her house was recently robbed and her attitude was, "someone needed those things more than we did." When she sent her kids list, she said this...

"Thank you so much. It really is an answer to prayer and very much appreciated. I am in a really tight spot right now and don't really have anyone to help me, so I am very grateful!!!! Feel very blessed.....this will never be forgotten, that is for sure!!!!"

A lot of items were stolen that need replacing. The family is now living with a friend, but they would like a microwave (already donated by Schlarbs), a dvd player, pots and pans, and baking sheets. These were some of the items taken that they want to have as soon as they find a new home. If anyone has upgraded their stuff and has old ones lying around, let me know. If not, we can buy her those things I am sure. Thanks for all the help fam! If anyone else would like to give, we need to know. We will be shopping soon!
