Christmas Cards To Loved Ones
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
This is my third year in doing this and can say that it is a blessing to me to be able to give during the most thought about time of year. Last year we had a huge list.

Here is how it works. If you are interested in a loved one receiving a Christmas card please email me their information. Let me know any special instructions (what they are not able to get as far as mail is concerned). Some last year were not able to receive cards,only post cards. If you submitted a name last year and no information has change just email me and let me know. If the information has changed please update it with me.

NAME
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
FACILITY
FACILITY ADDRESS

I will then put together a list from the names provided. I will then submitt it back to those who want to send with full instructions.

If you are wanting to be a volunteer in sending cards please let me know when you submitt their information. I will need a email address so that I can send the list back to you. I can not use daily strengths as I can not upload the document in their email format.


If you can not volunteer and want to submitt a name please send me the information. I know during this trying time it is not affordable for some and it is completely understandable. I do not want to leave anyone out.


PLEASE EMAIL ME HERE YOUR INFORMATION AND IF YOUR INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING.

ALL INFORMATION IS HELD CONFIDENTIALLY. PLEASE DON'T POST LOVED ONES INFORMATION ON THE SITE.

ON NOVEMBER 21ST I WILL STOP THE LIST PROCESS SO THAT I MAY COMBINE THE INFORMATION SO THAT I CAN GET TO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE VOLUNTEERING A COMPLETED LIST BEFORE THANKSGIVING.


I have shown you in every way by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Acts 20:35

" This is a great thing you are doing and I would like to help. I just had a question, my friend is currently awaiting his trial and sentencing and is in County Jail. He has upcoming dates near Thanksgiving. Can someone in his situation be added or should I just wait? Either way, I would like to help. "

" I would say send your info now and if it changes post that it has changed and just tell us the new address without disclosing the full name in the post.

We surely do not want any let out of this.....they need the mail like we need hugs from each other!

Just my thoughts on the matter....but be sure to let me know when it changes so we can get him mail!

Love you all!
Love Rhea "

" This is a great thing you are doing. My son loves Christmas time and he loves to get mail. He is supposed to be releasedOctober 2010. Please say a prayer for him. He needs so much encouragement on how to adjust once he does come home. Thank you so much for caring. "
