It's just a simple envelope with a personal
note and a few stickers, but
to my son, on that day, it means the world.
Getting mail makes children feel important and special.
But how often do they receive anything outside of their birthday and holidays?
Everyone likes to get a unexpected "treat" every now and
then. Children are no different.
My Little Mailbox offers this
feeling of excitement and joy to a very special group of children -- the
boys and girls who wait while their parent (or parents) serve overseas. Your
donation and support can send a smile to one of these 'Little
Patriots'.
For families with deployed service members, a dependent military child will receive a
special envelope from My Little Mailbox that includes a letter from a favorite
character or pen pal,
a coloring or puzzle page, stickers and other goodies especially for your
little patriot.
The deployed service-member parent will have the opportunity to include
special message and choose from which pen pal or holiday character it will be.
It's a 'double smile' project! The
children will be excited about the unexpected treat, and the separated parent
will feel good knowing they could provide such a special experience....across
the miles.
These personalized mailpacks are
available at no charge to the family of deployed service members, but I count
on any financial support to make this possible! 100% of your
donation goes to covering the expenses of postage and materials. Feel
free to donate as little or as much as you'd like. It only takes $6 to
send a delivery to one child, but our goal is to send over 2,000!
Send a Smile to our Armed Services children today!
