I wrote this last year and amazingly, I could write the same exact thing this year. I am so fortunate to work with Kohls again for their Pay It Forward program. I hope you will consider giving back this season. If you don’t have any extra money, consider your time, consider sending a card, making cookies.
I was able to shop this year for a young family that has been through alot in the past few years. A loss of a business, a foreclosure on a home, a loss of a job times 3. You know the story for many American families in the past few years. This family has two gorgeous little ones aged 6 and age 1. T This lovely family is working hard and keeping the faith that things will work out. However, this time of year it is hard to make sure that the bills are paid and gifts are under the tree. Their wish list for Christmas was quite humble. A few toys for the kids, but a much needed item we all take for granted. Car Seats.
We were able to get a few toys and make a difference for this family. Giving them these gifts are enough of a gift for me. I am so thankful that Kohls reaches out to help families in need each year.
