Scott_of_melnsct Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) Our neighbors have taken in a foster child who up until now has had an incredibly unstable life. She has moved 20 times in 3 years, each time leaving behind any personal items she had. The girl is kin to them, but they had no legal grounds to help beyond offering. The opportunity to take in this little girl arose when the state took her away from her Meth addicted abusive parents. At one time she had a collection of Snow Globes that her Grandparents, who were truck drivers, bought her on their travels. This was one of the things left behind one of the many times her parents were evicted for not paying the rent. Here's where the Good Deed comes in. We thought it would be fun and healthy for her to find out that there are good people in the world, and you can help by sending her a Snow Globe this winter. If you are so inclined, send your package to: Lilly c/o Robert & Jennifer Campbell 318 Ray Simerly Road Hampton, TN 37658 Happy holidays, and Thanks a bunch, Melanie and Scott Edited December 14, 2010 by Scott_of_melnsct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awindofchange Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I got a package on the way. It's not a snow globe but I think she will like it. We just didn't have any globes here to send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melnsct Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks, Kent!! I am so excited for her to have her first happy Christmas!! There have been two others that have told me that they are sending snow globes. If anyone else out there can find it in your heart to send her something than you too can contribute to the Holiday Magic. I have my hopes up that she will get 10 or 12. Scott promises to build her a pretty wooden shelf to display them on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
