recipe arial, pilule sans-serif;”>We’ve been offering Christmas care packages since the beginning of the month, but now we’ve set a goal to see if we can top last year’s total number of care packages sent to the troops!
If we can raise $60,000 this Christmas, we’ll be able to do it! If you have not yet, please consider making a donation today to support these brave men and women won’t be home with their families for the holidays.
We have over 10,000 troops that will be spending Christmas on deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq. There’s also thousands more troops deployed all around the Middle East and other terror hotspots around the world.
We’ve already raised about $5,390 towards our goal so we’re off to a good start, but we still have a long way to go if we want to reach our goal by Christmas!
Please send this e-mail to your family and friends to get them involved!
While we fill out our Christmas wish lists, many of our troops are thankful for just being alive because they realize that not all that serve are so lucky. They are fully aware of the risks they take and dangers they face every day, but do so willingly for our safety. For this, they deserve a small token of our appreciation around the holidays.
The holidays are the loneliest time of the year for many people serving in a normal capacity, but imagine if you are serving in the military thousands of miles from home in a foreign land. While many members of our military have supportive and loving families that send them stuff throughout the year, many do not and get very lonely, especially during the holidays.
We’ve heard over and over again from military men and women that the care package they received from us was the only piece of mail or support they have received all year and it meant the world to them.
We also continually hear that our troops really appreciate the great items that we include in our care packages, but the most appreciated item is the personalized letter from YOU that you can fill out and thank them for their service or let them know you support them.
Please help us bring a little holiday cheer to our brave men and women of the military by sending them support from home today–it might be the only mail they get all year.
Think about how lonely it can get for our troops in Afghanistan, many are on isolated bases where they cannot easily keep in contact with their families back home. Some troops hardly ever receive mail from home, some troops sadly never get anything, Around Christmas time, our troops miss their families more than ever. They sacrifice that time with their families in order to protect us, but sometimes they still get homesick.
