Thank you for making our Christmas a dream come true!
A sincere heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone that donated toys and clothes to the orphans in Ukraine during our toy drive for Christmas this year. In a combined effort, there were close to 100 orphans whom received a Christmas gift of love this season just from what we sent off. Some of the items that were donated were Barbie dolls, match box cars, nerf footballs, nerf basketballs with hoops, baby dolls, dump trucks, fire engines, kick balls, puzzles, developmental toys, art supplies, and many more. I sent off 10 large boxes filled with all sorts of toys and items for children of all ages to Life 2 Orphans (http://www.life2orphans.com/) to contribute to their Wishing on an Angel – Christmas for Orphans event. Once they receive all of their donations, they take them with them around the holidays and conduct a Christmas party with food, juice and treats to eat along with a present or two per child in many orphanages in Ukraine. Here is a personal thank you that I pulled off of Life 2 Ophans website from the children from Internat Mykolaivka Orphanage for all the donations that they received: “Dear Friends, An enormous thank you to you all, that all of you do not forget about us. Your presents give us such joy and warm our little hearts. We are now able to understand that there are people on this earth who are openly ready to help children who don’t have any parents. We wish you all luck, health and that the fire in your great souls never burns out. With love, the students” Here are a couple of other thank you notes from a couple of orphanage directors that witness your generosity. “Your sincere help made life of our children brighter, more colorful and joyful. Albeit most important is your cordiality and love that makes their small hearts warm, give a sunbeam of light and hope despite all distances. We wish that the little flame of goodness and charity never fails in your soul. May your good deeds fill up your home with happiness and love. God’s blessing to you at all times.” Another orphanage director wrote, “The children will grow healthier and happier, will learn to fantasize and use logical thinking, while curiosity will become the first step on their way of exploring the world and becoming harmoniously developed personalities by means of these toys.” Thank you all for shining your light upon the children in Ukraine. May God bless you 100 fold of your heartfelt donations. Luke 6:38 - Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."
