This nice lady reached out to me after reading Haydens Story. Her lifes work is helping those children who have been forgotten by the world. Consider sending anything you can, please, its the true spirit of the Holiday spirit.

This is a list I developed for our web site.  We have girls from Texas, Tigua Indian Nation and Colorado. We need your help to pass this copy along to churches, rotaries, sororities, and private contributors!!  Thank you all for helping us get the word out!! Dr Donna

    Great link, Nancy. Helping those on hard times for Christmas can be a great alternative to over-buying on one’s list. Very, very cool.
