I just wanted to let you all know of an opportunity to help the less fortunate this year. I know many of you give through projects at your churches or through other organizations… but there is a family that is very close to our heart that needs help. Through inner city ministry years ago, Sarah Haviland and I met this lady (Ms. Maude) who has over 20 grandchildren. They live in a very poor area of Baton Rouge and the children sleep 2-4 per bed. Their living conditions look like something out of a third world country.
We thought about just going through the HPC Christmas gift delivery, but because of the large number of kids and the low number of donations, we have decided to adopt them ourselves and make their Christmas as special as possible. We are going to do all the leg-work (gift buying, gift wrapping, gift delivering, etc.)… All we need are some donors that would be willing to give financially so that we can make this happen for these great kids. If you feel in your heart that this is something you would like to be a part of, please leave a comment, send an email or call me as soon as possible so we can work something out.
Here are some pictures from last year…
