Hello PARR family! It’s Lisa!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families and friends and everyone has gotten in a long run to recover from eating all the turkey and pie 🙂
As promised, this email is going to give you all the information you need to be able to help sponsor two Pearland families this Christmas season! We have gone through the Angel Tree program in Pearland ISD (http://pearlandisd.org/news.cfm?story=1052 ) There is a PDF attachment of the two families we were given that give the specific names, ages and gender of each child. There are two families that consist of three children in each family.
We would like to purchase four gifts per child. Since the items listed were somewhat generic we put together a more detailed list of what we would like each child to receive. There are so many different ways you can give for the items listed. For some it can be difficult to find the time to get out and purchase an item so giving money towards one of the gift certificates will be better for you. For others being out and about and picking up from the list is easier for, you then you can do that as well. If more money is donated above and beyond, then we will purchase additional gift cards for JCPenney for clothing for the families.
We are going to do like last year, and post these lists on Facebook so that everyone can collaborate and let others know what they are taking. There were many people last year that would join together to knock out an item. If you are not on Facebook, you can just send an email to myself or Aimee on what you would like to give and we will indicate on Facebook it is taken. In both instances (Facebook and email) Please indicate Family #1 or #2, the name of the child and the item number you will be getting so there is no confusion. And be sure to read all the comments to know what has already been taken.
We are on a tight timeframe, which I know isn’t a problem for this group. We do everything fast 🙂 All gifts need to be collected by December 8 – we will send out a collection plan/locations in the next few days as well. We will have an East and West side option for WRAPPED/LABELED gifts to be delivered! We have gift tags that will be specific to each child so we will need the specifics in order to deliver them correctly!
Please let myself or Aimee know if you have any questions. Let’s show these two families what giving hearts are all about and give them a Christmas they will remember for years to come! Now jump over to Facebook and let’s get started!
Thank you all! Lisa Sanchez jfsanchezfamily@sbcglobal.net
