Holly House Christmas - Day 12 - We Did It!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my sponsor gave to me.... a delicious bowl of ice cream, a bottle of soda pop, an assortment of local candies, one chicken dinner, several lollipops, a pretty dress, one Christmas card, a new shirt, one bowl of rice, a new pair of pants, and all of the love they hold for me.

The grand finale of a holiday meal at Holly House is typically a bowl of ice cream.  Like all children, the kids at Holly House love ice cream and look forward to this very special treat.

December 1 was the last day of our fundraiser, and ... we did it!!!  The final tally is not yet available, but it looks like we met or exceeded our goal to provide every child staying at Holly House over the holidays with special meals for Christmas and New Years and a gift of clothing.  Any funds raised in excess of our goal will be put toward other immediate needs at Holly House.

Thanks to all who donated!  The holiday cheer these meals and gifts provide the kids of Holly House is very much appreciated.  We will have pictures of this holiday celebration on the blog after the holidays.
