Christmas Wish: Give HOPE to a Family in Need

I would like to thank you all for supporting Dawn’s Angel Wish Network through your gifts, encouragement, promotion, prayers, etc. throughout the year. Your efforts have raised money for non-profit organizations, encouraged individuals in crisis, and blessed those experiencing an immediate need. But what you have really provided to others goes beyond the physical; you have helped to provide HOPE!

Have you ever been in a situation where your hope was lost? I have. And I know that many of you have been there too. When you lose your HOPE, you feel you have nothing left. It is the darkest, scariest place on earth! But inevitably, God sends an angel to bring you that ray of light to help you out of that lonely place. You have served as that “ray” through your generosity; that’s why you are called “angels”.

December Request: To provide some HOPE to families in crisis this holiday season. We have partnered with Edgewood Village and identified two families who could use help. Many of us have an abundance of HOPE to give. I request that you “donate it” in the way God leads you. And I know that as you freely give HOPE, it will always be there for you in your time of need.

The Need:
**Family 1: NEED ITEMS: Hat/Gloves, Sheets (King), Boots (size 10 (mens), 13(female child), 8.5 (female child)), pots/pans
WISH LIST ITEMS: PX90 DVD, guitar, bike, Baby Alive, Dooddlebops

**Family 2: NEED ITEMS: Towels, wash cloths, monthly bus pass, can opener, cordless phone, tennis shoes (mens size 13), Ivory bar soap, paper towels, dish soap

The Reward: HOPE!
