Extreme Chritmas Basket!

We delivered all the goods last night, and yet again it was a success! We did manage to fill 3 cars up.

Here's the stuff they got:

Canned goods & cleaning products.

Gift basket I made for the girls, full of creams, make-up, etc.

Gift bags for each family members.

Toilet paper, some cleaning products and bags of clothes.

The language barrier was soon broken, and the mother explained to me how they left Palestinia to come here, 3 years ago and how grateful she was to receive so much generosity.

All apprehension or other feelings I might have felt prior to last night were washed away when I showed up with the gifts (one per family member). To hear their little 2 years old scream of joy when he saw the gift bags made it all worth while! All three of us (Hubby, a friend and myself) cracked up when we heard his excitement.

Once all the goods were in the house, the couple asked us in for coffee - we politely declined and wishes them a Merry Christmas.

I'm happy to see that we have friends who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and it touched me deeply that they answered my request the way they did.

A BIG thank you to each and everyone of you, near or far, without whom I wouldn't be able to succeed and to show that there are still good people out there, willing to give for the pleasure of giving, of helping and all done without prejudice - pure goodness!!!
