Emma you have made me open my eyes to doing anything and everything I can do for “the littles” in my area! This year my husband and I already agreed to tone our kids Christmas back because they get SO MUCH from us and family/friends. We took the extra money and “adopted” a child from a church and purchased his Christmas gifts. I then cleaned my kids playroom, took all the boxes and bins of toys they never play with, some still in packaging (!) and sorted them into age and gender groups and was able to donate to families who would have absolutely no Christmas whatsoever for their kids. My only regret was not printing off your cards to pass along. All month long I plan on trying to do more and will definitely be passing them on! Picture is of the tag taken off the tree for the little boys Christmas!
You were a blessing to your family during your short life and through many strangers and your family will continue to be a blessing after life. #forouremma
