Friends of Thumbuddy Special,
Happy Fall! The colors are glorious this time of year, especially with all of the sunshine! Feeling so thankful for all of your support and time commitments to the Thumbuddy Special mission!
Our Golf Outing was a huge success with plenty of bad scores, great stories, and lots of love in the room. Enjoy these photos!
This summer Thumbuddy Special was able to support WSSRA Summer Day Camps, help numerous families with equipment needs, and help one family with the purchase of an adapted van. More details to follow in our next newsletter.
Moms Day Out returned on October 23rd! As you know, we took two years off for Covid. This year, we treated 18 moms to a full day of pampering, shopping and a delightful dinner and dancing at Reserve 22. Thank you to all who donated scarves, wrote notes of encouragement and gave with an open heart. It truly is an awe-inspired event. Here are a few pictures of our moms having a well-deserved blast.
We are now planning our first Dad’s Day Out in the spring.
This next season of giving is upon us, with plenty of opportunities to help. The Polar Express is back on Dec 10th and our Wrapping Party will be on December 18th this year as we prepare for the 2022 Baskets of Christmas Cheer.
Last year we helped over 150 families, where each member in the family received a $50 gift card, and $100-$200 of gift cards to Aldi. We felt the parents were more connected when they were able to shop for their own children.
HOW CAN YOU HELP? While we did receive Bombas socks this year to include in our baskets, we still need new gloves and scarves in addition to gift cards from Walmart, Target or Aldi. Help us fill our Baskets of Cheer for our families in need!
Your generosity is so appreciated, to help our neighbors in need during their darkest time, it is answering their prayers. It is what WE are called to do.
God’s Love and Grace,
Mary Ellen and the Thumbuddy Special Team
