This year I have started a little project called "Beyond Christmas". The idea is to help a less fortunate family have a great Christmas, then follow up with them a little later next year.
We have been blessed with a lovely family, Marquieta and her two small sons, Cyheim 7 and Tylan 3. Marquieta's story is a tragic one. When she was twelve years old she was on safety patrol for her school, when a young man who had stole a car pinned her between the car and a brick wall. They tried very hard to save Marquieta's legs but they were crushed too badly. She now has two prosthetics that help her get around, but most recently she has been in a lot of pain, unable to get outside and travel with her sons.
She mentioned to me that the boys birthdays were also in December. At that moment I knew I needed to help. My husband, kids and I went out and bought them a cake and some presents. We delivered them Sunday, my daughter helped to take them in with me. The family was very gracious, the little ones were thrilled beyond belief.
Marquieta had told me previously that the boys have never had a Christmas Tree, now thanks to some wonderful, blessed individuals they will. I'll be picking it up in the next few days.
I plan on delivering everything we collect on Christmas Eve morning. The deadline will be the 23rd if you are interested in helping this lovely family.
Here is some of their needs:
- Cyheim: 8 pants, 7/8 shirt. 13.5 or size 1 shoes, undergarments, socks, PJ’s would be nice
- Tylan: 4 pants, 4 shirts. 10 or 10.5 shoes, undergarments, socks, PJ’s would be nice
- Tylan needs a Winter Coat
- Both boys like Spongebob a LOT
- They enjoy the usual boy gifts, footballs, trucks, etc.
- They need blankets and household items.
Marquieta had mentioned the boys could really use new shoes and that Tylan has been asking for a tricycle.
So far hats and gloves have been purchased. Anything household, like towels, blankets, pots pans, you name it would be very appreciated.
They also could use some non-perishable food items as well.
If you have any questions or need directions to my home to drop off donations please email me at kelbel2265@yahoo.com. Thank you and bless you!
