As you can imagine, recovering from a disaster that destroys EVERYTHING you own is not easy. However, if you are living at or below the poverty level. . .it becomes nearly impossible. Today, many children and families remain homeless. Many others are lfet without basic necessities. And. . .it's getting colder by the day. Winter is fast approaching with overnight temps already at freezing. Children remain without blankets.
Doesn't that just break your hearts? As you tuck your children into bed covered up with multiple blankets in a home that has heat, can you remember these children? Would you like to do something?
KidsLake's project for the rest of this year is. . .
BLANKETS FOR CHINA!!!
For $10, you can provide a warm blanket for a child that needs it!
Not only can you meet a need for a precious one, but you can teach your precious ones in the process! Use this opportunity when you put your children to bed and snuggle them up, to teach them about children who do not have what they do. Teach them to pray for the children who are cold that night. Teach them to be thankful for the blankets they have. . especially during this season! Then, help them to do something!
- Allow them to ask for a blanket for Christmas and forgo a toy in favor of supplying a child with a blankie!
- Have a hot chocolate stand in your neighborhood to raise money!
- Have them do chores to earn money. . .possibly making beds!
- Forgo a fast food lunch or dinner and have pb&j at home and donate the money
Whatever you do, get creative and involve your kiddos. Help them expand their vision of our world by teaching them about the children of China. Help them be a part of the solutions!
