Update on boxes sent to GIs as an Adult V class project. We started out sending boxes to all those on our list Oct. 2007, at which time we sent 1 emergency box to a GI in Japan who was having a difficult time. In November, the class sent 7 boxes + 2 (one in rehab and one at home) making 9.
Dec 2007- sent 7 boxes + 1 in rehab = 8
Jan 2008- sent 2 boxes-we missed Christmas = 2
Then we started sending boxes of goodies to those "In Harm's Way"
and wounded and cards to the others.
Mar 2008- sent 8 boxes + 2 (one in rehab + a friend of his in rehab)=10
May 2008- sent 14 boxes + 2 (one in rehab + a friend of his in rehab)=16
July 4th 2008- Sent cards of Appreciation to about 20 GIs
Sept 2008- sent 12 boxes + 2 (one in rehab + a friend of his in rehab)=14
Dec 2008- sent 14 boxes (the wounded in rehab is getting out )
Dec boxes included candy and home baked goods = 14
------
Total to date: 74 boxes sent to our soldiers.
Thanks for all your help- collecting personal items, food items, baking, monetary donations, helping sort and pack packages, writing addresses and mailing boxes. God Bless all of you.
