This is what Christmas is all about…

We have received many thanks from the families who received presents from all of you on Christmas morning! They were all so amazingly grateful. Here is some of what we have heard…

From Hunter’s Grandmother, the 10 year old boy who’s mother died the week before Thanksgiving, and who had already lost his father, on Christmas day she sent this text to Jerry Rizzi, who was our contact person for the family…

“Merry Christmas. We love you all so much and praise God you were placed in our lives. Happy Holidays.”

From the family of 13…This is one grandmother living with her 4 children and all the rest are the children of these adult children….

“Merry Christmas to one and all from our family to yours. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

It was awesome. Thank you sooooo much! The kids loved everything! Thanks for making it happen! The coat fit Haley perfectly and she loves it. Both gals really liked the Little Pet Shop stuff…they’re putting a small village together in the living room. lol…wonderfully great Christmas. Best part is they liked stuffed animals too and were fighting over them…lol but we told them to share so they are. Haley LOVES THE COAT and wore it to here dad’s for his time with them.

Thank you so much…it was a a blessing to us and them…greatest Christmas ever…yall are the best…we know Jesus is the reason for the season but it never hurts to have gifts given to you (as a kid) as well. Oh yeah, Jack absolutely LOVES his tools. Richard was sooo thrilled. Opened game first and was disappointed but then opened other gifts and was sooo surprised! lol

Boys loved all they got…Jim’s fishing pole was a hit! JEEP shoes for Steven made his day… Didn’t know he secretly asked for JEEP shoes to Santa and God …He said he knew God would get the message to Santa for him because his shoes were wearing out and mama didn’t have the money to replace them.

Kelly absolutely loves her Dora dress up and trunk…Jason was sooo surprised at his sml gift set bball etc…Said it was just his size and loved it.

The clothes fit real good for all kids…Sadie Marie (baby) opened hers w/mama Geralyn and both were shocked when they found weebles play set and fun learning wooden set…She wouldn’t put it down…lol. Then she decided to try them out in her mouth..lol it really made all the adults day to see the kids really enjoying Christmas.

Again, thank you so much…What a blessing it was. We are sooo thrilled to have been blessed by ya’ll. Merry Christmas it was for one and all! Ya’ll will be blessed as well.  

Lots of custody issues with the fathers of kids. Please keep the family in your prayers for that and for health as Geralyn may be having both kidneys removed in January and will be on permanent dialysis. We pray she’ll make it till the kids are old enough to graduate high school…If not, I’m gonna inherit them. I love them but Auntie Crystal doesn’t want to be Mama Crystal for that reason. You know what I mean.

Thank you again with all my love for all you did!

I haven’t heard yet from the other family, but when I will update this post and also post pictures when I get them from Hunter’s grandmother. 

THIS WAS A VERY SPECIAL THING YOU ALL DID. THIS WAS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE FOR ALL THESE CHILDREN. THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN THIS…

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. GOD BLESS YOU!

Serving you through Him,

Shane, Susan and our family at home and at LONE STAR
