During this Christmas season we hope to again provide a gift to each of the children and staff. These gifts will be necessary items such as clothing, shoes and hygiene items. We also plan to purchase a Karaoke Machine as a “community” gift for everyone’s use. Luxury treasures are not our goal but to merely meet daily needs. We have a goal of raising $2,500 so that each child can receive a few items each for Christmas.
ANY amount will go a long way in providing a memorable Christmas experience. Below are examples.
• $2 will purchase socks for our kids who have holes in their socks (they walk to school each day)
• $5 will buy them an umbrella so they do not have to walk in the rain.
• $10 will buy them school shoes so that they are not “different” from the other kids in their school.
• $50 will provide a complete Christmas package for one child
While planning your Christmas lists and giving, maybe you would consider giving in someone’s honor or memory. So many people on our lists are “hard to buy for” because they “have everything”. Truly we are blessed. As of today there are only 2 children who have full sponsorships. Would you consider sponsoring a child as a Christmas gift this holiday season? What a life changing Christmas gift you can give in the memory or honor of a loved one!
We will have our Christmas collection through December 5, 2011. If you would like to contribute in general or for a specific child for Christmas please do so by that time. You may give online or click on the link at the top left (Christmas Giving). Please mark in the message that your donation is to go toward the Christmas gifts for WHY.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support for The Rescue Ministries and the children of Wesley Home for Youth.
Peace, Dustin

Dustin, will the gifts be purchased in the Philippines or can we send the gifts to the child?
Regardless, give me a kid (assign me a kid) and I will work on getting the whole $50 bucks. I will use their profile from the home page to rally support and get the Christmas package paid for.
If I get enough support, then I'll take another kid.
Tonya, I would love for you to sponsor Ronilo for Christmas! Thanks so much!
