Hopes For Others...
Thank
You For Your Interest In Our
Romanian Christmas “Joy Box” Mission
Last year we sent
2,600+ “Joy Boxes” to Romanian children so they too, could enjoy the wonder of
Christmas.
The mission was so joyous, that we plan to send 10,000 this year!
You can help us in several ways:
1) Provide a monetary donation so we can purchase items for the
boxes
2) Provide us with items you have collected from the list below
3) Make the filled boxes using the instructions from the
guideline below
In order to have the boxes arrive
in time for Christmas, they should be delivered to Fairhaven Children's Home in
Covington, Louisiana by October, 2003.
We appreciate you interest in
helping to provide "Christmas Shoe Boxes" for children in Romania.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You,
Johnny
