Celebrate The Season of Giving, Help the Adoption Coalition of Texas!
This time of year is there is always a constant reminder to give and if you are like me you want to help but are not sure where to donate. Here is a really great option for you.
Long time Southwest boot camper Tracy Eilers works with The Adoption Coalition of Texas. They are collecting donations of warm winter clothes and money to purchase small gifts and necessities for a group of 25 teenage girls. Currently they are still in need of additional funds to make the winter season warmer for these girls.
These are girls in foster care who have been pretty severely abused. They are living in what is called a Residential Treatment Center, similar to a shelter environment. It is designed like a campus so it has a cafeteria, "cottages" where the girls live, an on-site Charter school, a petting zoo where the girls take care of the animals and a pottery place. It is actually a lovely facility.
The girls share rooms and have very little space for stuff. They have their bedding, clothes and a few small items. These girls come into foster care with the clothes on their back -none of which was warm clothing! Now that we are into the winter months they are in need of warm clothes. This is what they've all put on their lists along with 1 extra item each. So, we are asking folks to shop for them but purchase some of the following ~ hats, gloves, slippers, fuzzy socks, coats, jackets, sweatshirts and/or sweaters. They really need sweat shirts, coats and/or a jacket.
If you would like to donate money to help the Adoption Coalition provide warmth for these teenage girls please follow this link (no firefox browsers sorry!) to donate online.
If you would like to buy clothing items for the girls please contact me for the list of items needed and sizes.
