VERY IMPORTANT
So last year at Christmas a group of us in the lounge were made aware of a group of kid who lived without parents in the US
one of our members (sugarmomma) was their social worker .... somebody suggested why not sent them a Christmas card from
the various States wishing them a happy Christmas ...
Most of the card held a few dollars so they could buy a few extras ..from these kind people
we even had card arriving from Canada and Dingo and you just cannot believe how little is was to do ...but what a great effect it had ...
So I though lets expand it a bit this years and get kids in the US Canada Australia NZ and even the UK
so if there are any Social workers or you know of any kids in a family who we could send a bunch of card too
We will just go for one group per country this year

Re: VERY IMPORTANT
It worked last Christmas from a thread that was opened in The Lounge. Someone (Sugarmooma) knew a family of children who had no parents. We sent cards and money to the kids via SM. So if someone knows of a similar needy case please shout out.

Re: VERY IMPORTANT
Thats a great idea and seems like a very worthy cause count me in .My wife works on an oncology department In Nova Scotia . If you need any needy families there are plenty there. Its unimaginal the emotional and financial hardship some families are forced to endure when a child gets cancer.

Re: VERY IMPORTANT
Ray do you have a name yet? If not I may be able to put a name your way. It would be the name of a child with cancer in the Toronto area and would be in liaison with the Big Brothers Little Sisters Foundation.
