Dear Friends & Family,Just a note to ask if you and your family and friends would like to help us raise money to buy pajamas for an orphanage here in Khmelnitsky, Ukraine for the upcoming Christmas Season. We would like to help 75 children, ages 5-17 yrs. We would purchase the pajamas here and then our Branch would label, wrap and deliver them to the children sometime in Dec. Any amount would be helpful, i.e. $5.00 would be wonderful. We would ask that you send the money to ***************. Please include everyone's email address so we could keep you updated and send photos of our visit to the orphanage.
If you have any questions, just email us and we would be happy to answer you.
Love, Elder & Sister Thatcher
PS - This is not a church sponsored event, but rather something we would like to do personally.
The above email is from Elder and Sister Thatcher who were (and still are) the branch president in the Khmelnitsky branch in Ukraine where our girls were adopted from. They were definitely sent by Heavenly Father to aid us (in case you haven’t read our blog) MANY times. They are good people (of course) and this is a good cause. I don’t think this is the orphanage that our girls lived in but they could still use the help! Our orphanage was very grateful for the scarves that our Young Women made for them!! I’m sure this orphanage will be grateful for these pajamas. Please consider helping because I know they can use it and will be VERY grateful for it. Also, it will help the missionaries touch people they might not otherwise. The church is struggling in Ukraine, and we can help all the way across the world. We will be sending money. If anyone wants to donate (ANY amount even just a dollar) If you are nearby I would be glad to collect and send it for you! Just email me shimai@comcast.net or call me 455-8613. If you don't live nearby send me an email or leave a comment with your email address and I'll send you the address to send it to. Let me know if you want to add your email to Sister Thatcher's list to see pictures of them donate the pj's
