Today is 12-12, what better day to kick off a very special “12 Days of Christmas”? We would like to give everyone the opportunity to make this Christmas one to remember, both for you and for the boys in the Home of Innocence. Each day, for the next 12 days, we are going to be highlighting one area that you can give towards. Most are items needed in the Home, with the wish for the 12th day being that our “true love” would provide sponsors for 12 more children (the children waiting for sponsors are not in the Home of Innocence, but children in our “At Risk” program).
Are you ready? Join in the fun with us! Just go to our giving page (see tab above) and give under the “general fund” just make sure that you write, in the note section “12 Days of Christmas” and what the donation is for. Donations can also be mailed (see our address under the “contact” tab).
Here’s a sneak peek of what each day will look like- who doesn’t like to get a peak at their presents early, right? (More information will be given on that specific day).
1st day: one propane cooker and tank, cost- $100
2nd day: two dozen mosquito nets ($4 each, or $48 total)
3rd day: three bicycles ($100 each, $300 total)
4th day: four cooking pots
5th day: 5 couch cushions
6th day: six gerry cans (for transporting and storing water)
7th day: seven place settings (plates, bowls, cups, forks, spoons)
8th day: eight sets of bedding (sheets, pillow, pillow case, blanket)
9th day: nine backpacks (cost $6 each, or $54 total)
10th day: ten towels for bathing
11th day: eleven bags of charcoal (the main cooking fuel they use, cost $10 each, or $110 total)
12th day: twelve children sponsored (cost $35/month… eternal benefits: priceless!)
Which of these items sounds interesting to you? You don’t have to give all of a certain day’s item, but a part is fine too. Subscribe to our blog (see the left sidebar) and you will get each day’s update. Stay tuned for great reports and lots of fun to come! This is way better than heading to the mall!
God Bless You,
