WHAT DID CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU AS A CHILD? CHRISTMAS WISHES It is hard to believe that the year has gone by so quickly.  It is time to help make Christmas happen for children that without your help would not have a reason to smile on Christmas morning.  Last year wonderful caring people like you provided Christmas gifts for thousands of children in our "Make a Difference" in our Christmas program.  We need your help again this year.  Times are tougher and budgets are stretched but if you make room in your heart for just one child imagine the joy it will bring to that child.    Please call or email me for the name and wishes of a child.  I will provide the name, age, gender and wishes of this child and you can choose which wish you would like to grant.  I will also provide you with the contact information for this child and they will come and get the gifts and give them to the child. Gift cards are also appreciated especially for our older children.  Target, WalMart and K-mart cards are most frequently asked for.  Please let me know ASAP if you would like to sponsor a child as I have all the names from all the agencies already so our children are ready to be matched with a sponsor.  If you do not have time to shop let us know and send a donation to Big Family and earmark it Christmas and we will do the shopping for you.  Gifts given to our children in the foster care system cannot be wrapped but can be put in Christmas bags with tissue paper. Thank you so much Jeanne Fowler Big Family of Michigan 248-885-0155 or 586-445-7735 Or send donations to Big Family of Michigan 30541 Utica Rd.
