What a wonderful thing to do! It has brought tears to my eyes, the compassion your organization has for wounded soldiers and their families. I can’t tell you how much this means to us to have someone help out….a true Santa Claus.
We have 3 children and it seems like the older they get, the more expensive and electronical things they want become. Please let me know if it is 1 item per child and up to what dollar amount for each. I don’t want to come off sounding greedy but am very excited that you have thought of us.
Thank you again, and I will be waiting for you to write me back before I make our list.
sincerely,
Tricia Bellis

Subject: A Holiday Opportunity from Our Military Kids

To whom it may concern:
A local businessman, Robert Nelson, already a proud sponsor of Our Military Kids, recently expressed an interest in providing additional recognition to several of Our Military Kids grant recipients during the holidays. With your permission, and some gift ideas for your children, we would like to compile a list of children and one special “Christmas Wish List” item to Bob. He in turn will forward this list to his personal business associates. If interested, these business associates will contact us and indicate the child they would like to shop for. This opportunity will help brighten their holidays knowing they could give something back to a military family who has served our country.
If you are interested in participating in this opportunity, please respond back to this email. Include your current mailing address, names and ages of your children and a gift idea for each. We appreciate the opportunity to offer you this special holiday thank you. (Last names and mailing addresses will be made available only to the individual doing the shopping.)
Sincerely,
Our Military Kids
