Every year this project makes those of still working on it nervous. We lose sleep, we stress, we manically check the list. But we really should know better, because our group of donors are just the absolute best and this year is no different. As of this morning all gifts for foster kids have been purchased and will make it in time. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! ❤️❤️ The foster kids of the USVI thank you for bringing love and light into their Christmas and proving once again you’re love for their home.
‼️‼️All of this being said, we have been contact by our friends at Family Resource Center and they need help. They still have dozens of families left to be adopted. If you would be interested in adopting a family currently being service by the crisis shelter in St Thomas, PLEASE reach out to me, Sabrina Jureidini and I will get you matched to a family in need. ‼️‼️

🚨‼️WE ARE ALMOST THERE‼️🚨
THIS IS IT FOLKS. We have 24 hours left to ensure Christmas delivery and thanks to an EXTREMELY generous donor, all we have left on the list are 11 tablets. JUST 11 GIFTS AWAY from clearing this list and ensuring that all foster kids in the USVI get a gift for Christmas. While I am nervous, I also know that each and every time I’ve asked this group to come together to make sure we support the people of the VI, you have without fail come through. I know we can do this!!!

🚨🚨‼️911‼️🚨🚨
Folks, if we don’t act quick there are going to be A LOT of foster kids in the USVI that won’t be receiving a gift this Christmas. With over half of our list still left, we are well behind where we normally are at this time and the situation is getting dire. PLEASE consider buying a gift or two or simply share this link. Five years ago when storms ravaged these islands you amazing humans stepped up and helped in unimaginable ways that’s as nothing short of a miracle and I know we can do it again for these kids. 🎅🤶🎄

🚨🚨Calling all Elves🚨🚨
Today is Giving Tuesday, a global movement of generosity by giving during the holiday season.
The last couple of years have been tough on just about everyone, but few more so than the people of the Virgin Islands who’s islands were barley recovered before COVID once again shut them down. Our list of kids has substantially grown since the first year we did this so we need your help more than ever to get these kiddos a gift for Christmas. If you are unable to donate please share!!! The more people who see these posts the more we can do to make sure these kids have a gift from Santa!!

🚨🚨THE LIST IS FIXED🚨🚨
After some issues with third party vendors and Amazon wishlists everything appears to work now.
Unfortunately that means we lost three very critical days to get these gifts down to St Thomas and into the hands of these kiddos.
Fortunately a lot of items are still on sale for Cyber Monday. We have a long way to go in a very short amount of time, but I know this group and it’s never once failed to break every rule to make sure we come together for those that need us. Please consider taking a look at the list and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!! I know we can do this together.

In the spirit of full transparency, I have to tell you all…it’s been five years and every single year when I make this post I cry. Not well up, but full cry.
You folks are just simply amazing. With five days to spare, our foster kid list is CLEAR! Every single child in care will receive a gift this year (as they have the last four) thanks to the generosity of absolute strangers that continue to show up for them year after year. When this organization started our goal was to aid a few dozen families. What we have gotten was a support system of thousands of people from all over the world, from all walks of life that continue to show up over four years later for people who will likely never kmow their name. It’s truly humbling and moving and reminds me every single year of what good people can do when they come together with love in their hearts.
Speaking for every person you’ve sent your love to, including myself, thank you. Thank you will never seems enough, but thank you and happiest of holidays to you all. ❤️🇻🇮🎄

‼️SHIPPING UPDATE‼️
After an extensive conversation with Amazon, I have been advised that the final day to order to insure Christmas deliver to the USVI is Monday, December 6. What the means is that we have only FIVE days to fulfill the remaining FIVE gifts!! I KNOW we can do this. We are so, so close.
If you have already given, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. We are asking that everyone that sees this simply shares. The more people we are can make aware, the more of a chance we have at fulfilling our list again this year!!!
🎄🎅🤶IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN🤶🎅🎄
We are in the final days for our items to make it down to St Thomas! With only 7 gifts left I know all of us would LOVE to see these kids wishes come true. Please share with your friends! The more people who see our need, the more likely we are to get these kids covered the fifth year in a row!!!!
