A Reminder About Christmas Crazy in July

As of this very moment, there are enough school supplies piled on my dining room table to take care of about 35 kids.

That's pretty fantastic.

But I want to take care of more kids. Center for Victims does some amazing things for a lot of kids each year. All of those kids deserve to wake up on the first day of school, grab a brand new backpack filled with the crucial items, and continue on with their lives. They've had enough bad days. It's time for some good days.

Just to remind you of what it is that Center for Victims does, they are more than a domestic violence shelter. They support people who have been affected by crime. Sometimes that crime is domestic violence, but it can also be sexual assault, elder abuse, child abuse, physical assaults, or homicide. The kids that Center for Victims supports are kids who have seen or experienced unthinkable things.

Does it take more than a notebook and backpack to change a kid's life? Probably. But a few school supplies is certainly a good start. It's something that most kids take for granted, but these kids don't.
These kids are at a place in their lives where they can't take anything for granted.

Let's fix something for them. It's something little, but it's something we can do.

The wishlist is up on Amazon. I will be delivering everything to Center for Victims around August 15th, so let's wrap this thing up quickly.

(If you would rather throw some money in the ring, leave a comment. If there are enough people, I'll make that magic available.)

(Thanks to everyone who has already helped. You are amazing.)

Just so you know, I can't order the scissors - it says it can't be shipped to a wishlist. I tried both options and more than once. I picked other stuff but I wanted to let you know...buy scissors locally.
