Who will be left out this Christmas?

As you look back through this blog, you will see lots of photo's of us bringing HOPE and restoring Dignity to those around us... Coal , clothes, schools, activity rooms, english and art lessons, new kitchens, renovating hospitals , heating projects for seniors, invalids, families, outings , skating, food hampers, milk and honey, giving away homes , operations... you name it, and we are doing it... from one end of the valley to the other, lives have been changed and hearts are being healed.... yet why am I still not satisfied?...I was a salesman for years, and a salesman is only as good as their last weeks sales... what we have done or accomplished in the past is great, but it is not like a term life insurance policy... life goes on, and so do the needs , the hurts, and the trials people are facing... As long as visiting my friends includes a trip to the dump....We can not stop... I want you to know that I do question myself regularly... I have discussed with those we work with, and those who closely observe what we do...and I am sure that every where we are , we are meant to be... but my question is always ... are we spread to thin.... Trust me we have tried to set limits on what we do, we have tried to formulate our one line story of who we are, who we can help, but it always comes back to the same thing...

....

How can we turn away...how can we know and not do anything about it....This is why I am looking for help to bring Christmas to well over 2000 people this Christmas.... I may not know all their names...( for the last 16 years Bekah has been getting BenjemmaBeck...). But they know me... they know Anya, Sergei.Jengish, Christy , Kyle, Laurisa,Tanya, Acel, Tallant, Olga, Lena, and over 20 others that work daily to build strong caring relationships with people that would otherwise be alone.... It is more then just a Christmas Party, it is bringing a Hope that we are counting on to in some cases,... sustain life ....to give boys like Muksat reason NOT to try to commit suicide again.....

I try my best to simply tell the story here at actofkindness, and leave it to you to decide what to do with it, but today... I am asking please please please help us.... you see when this next week is over, and the challenge is done... we need to sit down and decide... who is NOT getting anything for Christmas this year.....

Please don't make us have to make that decision ....

we have one week to go, lets not put it off any longer... if you are reading this on FB, please go to
