Hi
Everyone,
Since Easter is coming up
short in several weeks. One project that we have decided on is making small
Easter bags for 55 children in the Collin county juvenile facility, the children
range from age 11-16. We need supplies, like candy and cookies and also
toiletries and small Bibles that these children can use. If you guys can bring
some of these items, that we are in need of that would be wonderful. Remember no
sharp items and we need enough to give to 55 kids. You can drop them off at Theo
starting tomorrow. We can meet at Theo on March 6, a Thursday, @ 12: 10 .
Please remember that we are still doing our soda tab project also, so keep
bringing them in, and tell everyone about it. Please
RSVP as soon as you can so we know who is coming to the meeting. Sorry for
the short notice. See you all on March 6th. Thanks.
God
Bless,
Samuel
Nehdar
Hi Everyone,
A new
project that we will be starting, is partnering up with the Ronald McDonald
House Charities, and collecting soda can tabs, to raise money for those less
fortunate. There will be a small box at THEO starting Feb. 20 and will stay
there until March 7. Please spread the word about our new project. Below is
a description about the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you Mrs. Smith for your
great idea, and thank you to everyone.
God Bless,
Samuel Nehdar
Background on the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas
The
Ronald McDonald House of Dallas is a temporary home-away-from-home that
serves and sustains families of seriously ill or injured children receiving
treatment in a Dallas hospital.
They welcome over 1,600 families each year. While the families are
here, they have a private bedroom, 3 meals per day, transportation to & from
some hospitals, occasional activities for patients and families who are
staying at the House, and assistance with funeral expenses when necessary.
Because of the generous support of the community, a family can stay at the
House and pay no more than $10 a night.
A child's
life-threatening illness brings much more than worry and financial hardship;
it is a family's most heart-wrenching experience. While we cannot ease the
pain sick children and their familiesʼ experience, we can help lessen their
burden.. More than just a place to sleep, the Ronald McDonald House
provides a warm, safe, and comfortable home for sick children and their
families.
To do
this, the Ronald McDonald House relies on the love, sharing and caring of
hundreds of generous donors and volunteers from the Dallas community.
The tab
of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can, which
contains paint and other residue. Recycling pop tabs support the operations
of Ronald McDonald Houses across the country.. This popular fundraiser
benefits seriously ill children by helping provide a place for them and
their families to stay while they are out of town for medical treatment.
