Brad Ho here with the GotLove.org/Orangewood Ministry Team. November is officially here and we are officially on full-drive for our Christmas Toy-Drive to buy presents for ALL the children and teens at Orangewood Children's Home!!! Our goal is to buy each and everyone of the kids presents - and I'm talking about really, really, awesome, cool presents that the kids will actually like!!! No used, hand-me-down gifts allowed - the children do NOT deserve that. We are looking for brand-new, name-brand presents and clothes that the kids will be proud to have and own. When you think about the situation these kids are in - all of the horrible abuse, abandonment, and neglect that they have had to experience - these Orangewood kids got a pretty raw deal in life. No child should have to suffer like that and every child deserves to be LOVED . And that's why we do what we do, and that's the reason we're going to give these children and teens the BEST Christmas experience possible with the most fun, craziest party ever! I am personally guaranteeing this!
You want to be part of this? Here's how it works:
Pray about it! If you are part of a small group or work for a company that gives back to the community like this, bring it up and talk it over. Get your co-workers, friends, and family involved!
Email me or call me. You will be assigned a group of kids ("cottage") to go and buy presents for. These cottages are separated by age and whether it's a boys groups or girls group. Here are the groups to choose from: Adolescent Boys, Adolescent Girls, Intermediate Boys, Intermediate Girls, Juniors, Preschoolers.
Go SHOPPING!!! You must buy at least 15 IDENTICAL presents wrapped in IDENTICAL wrapping paper. Super important to do this exactly!!!
Once presents are wrapped and ready to go, email or call me immediately for delivery instructions. Very important!
DEADLINE for ALL PRESENTS = December 3rd, Saturday by midnite! Presents and gifts must be delivered at this time. That's only 2 weeks away!!!
All sponsors / donors will be invited to the party of the year - The Orangewood Christmas Party Extravanganza on Saturday Dec. 17th! This is where you will personally give your present to the child/teen and they will personally open it right in front of you!!!
Keep the receipt - all presents and gifts purchased for these kids and teens are 100% tax-deductible!
We also are in need of financial donations to make this special event happen. It's a very HUGE party and ANY AMOUNT is very much appreciated. And just like the presents, ALL donations are 100% tax-deductible. Donations can be made out and sent to: "Orangewood Ministry", 1063 Eliot Street, Oceanside, CA 92057.
