Operation Christmas Child

My name is Autumn and I’m 8 years old. I have participated in Operation Christmas Child for the past two years, this is a program designed to give kids a shoe box filled with gifts for Christmas. These kids are in third world countries and most all of them have never experienced Christmas before. I just love to see the smiles on the kids’ faces that receive them. Please join me in reaching my goal of filling 100 shoe boxes for these kids. I will be collecting money and donations of items for a whole year. All this needs to be done by November 2012. Please help me in making Christmas happen for kids just like me on the other side of the world. Below you will find gift ideas and to the right is a link to donate money.

GIFT IDEAS: The age group are kids from about 7-10, but even kids from 5-13 would really benefit from all the items.

Bar soap, hair brush, hair ties, washcloths, small mirror.
Stuffed animals, stickers, cars, harmonicas, flutes, yo-yos, jacks, crayons, paper, markers, paints, pencil sharpeners, hard candies, socks, hats, gloves, flash lights, gum, and almost anything else you can fit into a small shoe box. NO LIQUIDS!

Merry Christmas

Happy birthday to Jesus! A big thank you for everyone who pitched in and gave Autumn money and purchased more beef sticks at the Christmas Eve party. Many of you simply donated and she even got a gift card to shop for items, we thank you. On Christmas morning Autumn opened a huge box full of items from Auntie Lisa and Uncle Jose. These items will be a huge help to fill up the boxes. Tomorrow will be a great day to snag Christmas sale items. Thanks again to everyone for helping.
