Being the end of another busy year most (if not all) companies have what is called donor fatigue – basically they have given so much and have usually exceeded their ‘giveaway’ budget that there is nothing left! However, we have found that companies are more than happy to generously support the vision of family. For those of you who attended our LIVE event on Thursday you know that we gave away gifts and services to the value of $43,000.00. At this time of year this is an incredible blessing and one we are exceptionally grateful for.
Thank You to our supporters, thank you for helping us make our LIVE event something to last a life time, thank you for believing in family and for touching the lives of the families in our community and beyond through your generosity.
I will leave you with this story:
On Thursday night (at our LIVE event) we had a Santa sack full of toys (all of the toys were generously donated). One woman attending had recently had her house broken into and most things were taken including the toys she had already bought for her children for Christmas....devastating. BUT thefamilyroom were able to step in and give her the sack full of toys – this was one of the most touching moments of the night...it was fantastic, we were able to make a difference simply because we can and with the support of others a life was touched.
Have the best day, give someone a hug today and remind them how much you care and make sure you visit our local businesses and thank them for their support of familyroom.
Susan xoxo
