Helping those in need

Pasted from my Aunt's email

Dear Family &  Friends;

It is that time of year again, when we give thanks and give to others in need. I know that so many requests come in at this time of year, but we ask you to consider giving a small gift to the "kids" at the Porterville Developmental Center - some of whom have no family and no gifts to open at Christmas-time. Since our daughter Jennifer has been at Porterville we have been asking you to gift these kids at Christmas and you have been SO very generous- thank you!

Attached you will find a wish list for the "kids" on unit 5 where our daughter is placed. If you'd like to choose a gift or two for one of the kids (there are 23 kids) then please just let me know & shop away! You can deliver your new, unwrapped gift to our office at 591 12th St Paso Robles by Dec 20th.  If you don't have time to shop but you'd like to make a donation & if you'd like to write a check or make a monetary donation - we do have shopping elves We can come to you to pick up your gift or donation - just give us a call or drop off your donation at our office.

There are a few restrictions when buying gifts; please nothing glass; no acohol, no chewing gum and no violent DVD's & nothing R rated.

Thank you for all you do- may God abundantly bless you all!

We give a little money every year to my aunt and uncle and in turn they do some shopping to ensure that the mentally ill receive presents.  If you want to help out,  that would be great.  If you paypal my wife at [email protected] we will make sure my aunt and uncle receive the funds.   Sending a check would be nice too.

MoChristmas for all.
