We were honored to be a part in the recent Haiti Barrel Donation Project. Knowing that there are many children and families in Haiti who have so very little to meet their daily needs, we were more than happy to give since our family has been blessed in so many ways. I believe this event not only helped to remind our children about how fortunate they are, but it also reminded all of us how lucky we are to be a part of a church that works so hard to help others near and far!! Our kids, DJ, Jalynn, and Mason, have had opportunities in the past to be a part of similar donations through Sunday School and Friday night activities. This time was extra special because we did it as a family
and with the guidance of our very own mother and grandmother, Sister Cris. Jalynn was especially excited to find stuffed animals to donate to other children, knowing that she had so many and there are kids in Haiti who have never even had one. Sister Cris shared special thoughts with us about how important it has been for our church to help in Haiti by sending these barrels. It did not take long for all of us to do our part to fill the barrel...We filled one, but the kids actually wanted to fill more of them!
Damon, DJ, Jalynn, Mason and I (Jennifer) look forward to many more opportunities to help other families for many years to come!
