This young man is requesting Christmas cards from around the world and trying to raise money for the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation. Address to send cards to and link to donate to his fundraiser are both in the article.

Now in hospice care, Maddox likely only has weeks or months to live.

We have been provided a spreadsheet with names, addresses, and information of individuals/families who would love to get Christmas cards/inspirational cards in the mail. These are addresses for fire survivors who are just looking for a little holiday cheer. It feels amazing to bring smiles to these faces. The kids and I have had the amazing opportunity to help so many and they are so grateful for even the littlest things. Please let me know if you want a copy of our list. We also have an address to send cards to recovering American soldiers if you're interested in that address also.

Here is part of a thank you we got from one of our adopted fire survivors:

"Wow, a few more packages arrived today. ****loves the jammies and I really like the cargo shorts. It's like you know exactly what to send us. Thank you so much!! Wow! It's Christmas early this year! I'm running around the house in my new slippers and shorts. I'm having flashbacks of when I was a child with new toys on Christmas morning. 🤗"

And another:

"Thanks to an AMAZING family, a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Jennifer and her amazing girls have helped my family in a way that will never ever be forgotten. Thanks to her family, I will be able to continue working and being able to provide for my family. There aren't words to explain my gratitude but I plan to pay it forward in as many ways as I possibly can. Jennifer and her family are the kind of people that make this world an amazing place. They are completely selfless amazing human beings."

We have bags of warm clothing to donate. Do any of you know of any churches who are still accepting gently used clothing for our local homeless community? I'm starting to flare and am having trouble keeping up with all the fire victims we've adopted and getting clothes to our local families in need. Any info would help.

Thanks in advance.

We have adopted 10 families, 1 just in need (non fire related), 1 partially affected by the fire but also in need, and 8 campfire survivor families. We are finishing up the last 4 now. One family we can only partially adopt because of certain financial circumstances. I would hate to hinder their finding help. If anyone is interested in helping with gas cards or gift cards, please let us know. We can refer you to the actual family so that you can help them directly, or you can comment or PM me with questions. Thank you all for reading. Please share our post.
