Some of you may remember that last year I organized the great Orphan Gift Drive for the Italian children's home through the place I worked. It was a resounding success, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me out in giving children the much needed clothes, toys, and toiletries they needed.
This year, I'm shifting my attention, as life has demanded.
A very dear freind of mine is currently deployed in Afganistan. I know he is well taken care of - My family regularly sends him boxes of goodies and clothes and things. But there are many soldier who are not as well cared for from afar.
That's where AnySoldier.com enters the picture.
I'm going to be filling these 5 boxes with things that the deployed have requested - Usually not expensive things - and be sending them off to 5 random people. If anyone wants to help, I'll be more than happy to co-ordinate. The nice thing about this is that there is no hard and fast deadline - They can use this stuff the week, even month after christmas as much as they can at christmas - though I'm going to say that I'll be sending them out the thursday after christmas. I will be including a personal note in each box for those who want to contribute to sign.
Again, this is an open invite. I understand things are tight this year. If you need more info, feel free to contact me.
