Throw Blankets
The blankets are
desperately needed, because the patients tend to get the chills and a fleece
throw blanket would be perfect on warming the up. The must be a typical sized
throw blanket, so it is easy for the patient to carry with them. The blanket
will represent all of the people out her thinking about them during the
holidays. Please feel free to send the blankets to me and my address is at the
bottom of this article.
Christmas Cards
The Christmas cards should
be signed with your family’s name or you may allow everyone to sign it.
Children can make homemade cards or they can draw pictures. I am hoping to get
enough things to give out to each patient there. Additionally, write Patient
on the front and Christmas on the back of the envelope. These card seem to
brighten the patients day and are generally inexpensive, since money is tight
in this economy.
Small Gifts
The patients love getting
small gifts like figurines of any kind. I usually got to the dollar store and
get some from there for cheap, but this year I cannot afford to buy them
myself. So, if you would like to volunteer and help me gather up some cute
small figurines like angels. Most patients love getting an angel for Christmas
with a card and a blanket. This shows that there are people out who do care
about them, even if they have no family coming to see them.
Volunteering
You can help by donating
any of these items and sending to the address at the bottom of the page.
Patients will be thrilled and feel blessed to receive anything that you can
donate. Without the kind donations of others helping me, I cannot possibly give
something to all of the patients. Let's make a difference together by bringing
a little love and cheer. If you live in Jacksonville, Florida and want to be a
volunteer, please email me for my number.
Collecting Donations
Currently, we have until
Dec. 15th, 2012, in order to collect the donations needed to make
this a day that the patients will remember. Please consider helping me bring a
little joy into the life of each patient that I will meet on Dec. 23. 2012. If
you want to help and want send a donation to me, so I can go buy the items
needed. Feel free to email me. mamafrog33@yahoo.com. This Christmas can be brighter and
full of hope, by giving the patient something special that they can use every
day.
Care Package
Other ways you can help is
gathering up shoe boxes wrapped and marked male or female. These shoe boxes
should be full of personal stuff like deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush,
powder, shaving supplies, brush or comb, body lotion, perfume or cologne, or
other items they may need. If you can help, please contact me by email for more
information about this project. The Laugh at Cancer Support Community is
sponsoring this project, but we are not a non-profit. Thank you to all who will
be taking the time help with this Blankets of Hope project.
