"It is
not how much you do but how much love you put into the doing and
sharing with others that is important."
-- Mother Teresa
Many items are
needed for preemies and babies, as well as Senior Citizens, in
so many homes and hospitals around the United States, Canada
& Australia. Just think what a difference we could
make if we all could send just one item for each of these
projects! Project Information is listed in order according
to mailing due date. For more information on these
charities, you can email the coordinator personally. Their
email addresses are listed below next to the projects they are
coordinating.

The Memorial
Hospital has 300 to 400 births a month. Yes you read that
right. A MONTH. That is a lot of little precious babies. I
am hoping as a loving a caring group such as ATCT that we
will just overwhelm the hospital and mostly the parents
who are mostly single moms, teens, and many military moms
as their hubbies are serving in Iraq mostly and some in Afghanistan.
Many of these troops are on second and some even third
tours over there. So you can imagine there are a lot of
new military babies coming in the months ahead.
This is a
project that all of you can join in as we need to pull
together some made things and some purchased things so for
those of you who don't have time to contribute normally to
our projects, please consider helping out this time with
purchased items.
I know we
can't outfit all 300 babies for a month, but we sure could
do our best with whatever we can. So I am asking that all
of you lovely and giving people will consider sending
something for this project. This is a new year, lets start
off our first project with a bang. Those new babies are
counting on us.
~Thank you, Dorothy |
