Our Military Kids
Christmas Gift Wish List
WE DID IT!!
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED OUT
HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
The following came in one of the emails we received from a military family responding to our call for their family wish list: Hello, as I sit here crying and wondering how I’m gonna Pay my bills, I get this email. All I can say is Thank you!!!!!!
Once again Santa and I are teaming up with Our Military Kids in an attempt to bring some extra holiday cheer to children of our injured and fallen service members and their families. We’ve compiled a Christmas Gift Wish List for 40 families of these SUPERHEROES. I’m hoping everyone will check out this list and consider purchasing one item, serving as Santa for an individual child or even sponsoring an entire family. The latter is a great option for a company or office to consider.
The list below will be posted until Christmas and will be updated over the next few weeks. Please follow our progress at my Website: www.bobnelsonteam.com and give me a call or drop an e-mail to: Santa@bobnelsonteam.com to let him know how you would like to brighten a family’s Christmas day. Once you have done so, we will give you the contact info for the family to contact them and then send your gift(s) directly to the family. I would also encourage you to visit www.Our Military Kids.org to learn more about this wonderful grassroots organization that does so much all year long for the kids.
Last year’s overwhelming response helped not only bring gifts to nearly 100 kids, but several of you stepped up and bought Christmas dinners for some of the families. Hopefully we can complete the following list quickly and add additional families
2011 CHRISTMAS WISH LIST
