Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Today my hubby and I explained to Alexandra (who will be 3 next month) that there are children out there who have no toys. We asked her if she would like to give some of her stuff to another little girl so she would have some toys. She happily went through all her stuff and we ended up with 4 bags full of books and toys to donate! I intend to encourage her to do this every year. We are lucky in that our families are very generous with her. While we are having financial difficulties ourselves, I know there are many out there going through rougher times than us. I think it is really important to instill the gift of giving in small children. It can spur a lifetime of caring about others. So Kat, while I can't offer to send money for your cause I wanted you to know that your generosity is inspiring. Sarita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Wow that's great! That little girl will be so happy this Christmas and the other kids receiving your donations. It's good to teach little ones about giving.
