The Sleep Tight Drive for Foster Children

I've always had a feeling of wanting to reach out to people, volunteering or helping other's in need and the older I get I'm realizing that if I don't do something now instead of only "thinking about it" it will most likely never happen.  Sooo, here goes...

I recently learned of a Foster home in my neighboring town of McCall, Idaho.  It broke my heart, I suppose it touched me  more than normal because of my own baby girl.  We have an amazing and precious two year old.  It got me thinken' what's something that I can do to help make these little ones feel better about themselves and realize that they are thought of.  I decided being a Foster Parent is way out of the question, for now at least.  Then I was remembering back when my older children were young...I would always lay their pajamas out on the bed with a bedtime book for when they were done with their bath.  I believe it adds a feeling of comfort and stability.  After only a little research I've come to learn that PJ Drives are a BIG thing!!  Sooo, here goes...I'm in the process of putting together just that and I've named it the, The Sleep Tight Drive.  I've enclosed the flyer.  If anyone on-line happens to read this :) and are interested in donating, you're welcome to send your kind donations to-The Sleep Tight Drive, P.O. Box 1005, Cascade, Idaho 83611. 


****Please Note, for some reason blogger is not formatting my flyer correctly but I'm sure you get the jist****

Together we can make a child smile!
