i received a call from my mother last night. she works for the canadian friends service committee (a quaker group that does a lot of wonderful charitable things). they have a refugee group through them that helps tonnes of families and individuals.
she called me because their refugee group is one that is usually helped by the chum christmas wish every year. the families are having their holiday party today.
there are no toys for the 114 children!!
the chum christmas wish hasn't received enough donations this year, so they had to cut groups off their list.
we have a bunch of toys here that we have collected that are being picked up for them. at least there are a few to help.
the christmas wish needs help.
please. think about it. while you are out shopping.....at the mall...even in a dollar store. pick up a toy for a kid that has none.
every one of us can help. everyone can donate new unwrapped toys...and financial donations. it doesn't have to be an expensive toy.
