We are finally sitting down to send a note to all our wonderful volunteers.
It had been a long hard year for many, Sharon and I were crossing our fingers hoping to have enough to provide Christmas to the many children we had promised. Who knew! All of you stepped up in ways that surprised and overwhelmed our little mom ‘n mom charity!
Would we have toys? Yes! Would we have food? Yes! Would we have bikes? Yes!
Each and every person, business and group came forward and helped. From generous donations to a single toy request. Kids First was able to help 607 children! The party itself was wonderful with many smiling faces walking out with toys and a new shiny bike. Your continued donations allowed us to keep helping with many last minute families. A late night drop off of toys at Sharon’s house on Christmas Eve was exactly what we needed when a fire left a family with nothing that very night.
Sharon and I would like to express our deep deep thanks to all of the people without whom Kids First would be just 2 moms with a long impossible list of families who need a friend. This holiday turned out to be our best yet. Many were helped by the many who reached out to help.
Know that all year we are helping families from delivering groceries to furniture, a warm bed to warm clothes, things that all of us take for granted.
