Mo's Merry Christmas! ​

Picture
Help us make Christmas a little brighter for a family in the midst of very tough fight with cancer.   In light of Covid,  we are asking for monetary and/or gift card donations this year.  We will then get the family just what they are in need of.  
We found such a great family to help this year and they are so deserving of a little joy and magic.
This most amazing family has 3 children:

* A daughter, 13 Years old who loves Bath & Body Works, Fuzzy Socks, PJ Bottoms, nail polish, shopping on Amazon, hoodies, and baking.
* A Son, 15 years with Down Syndrome, he is also non verbal and autistic and has a seizure disorder. He loves Oball Rattles & Balls, Footless Sleepers, Jeans with built in belts, cotton candy, applesauce and board books that make noise.
*A son, 17 Years old who likes Flannel Shirts, gas cards, Amazon Cards, Tractor Supply Cards, Home depot Cards for his fishing and woodworking hobbies.

Again, in light of COVID, instead of purchasing an actual item off of the wish list and getting it to us, we are asking for monetary and/or gift cards and we will get what the family needs.  If you would rather get a physical item to us or a specific gift card, please send an email to [email protected]
Click below for the link to donate. The deadline for donations is December 15th!
