Community Giving: Back to School Edition
Back to school can be a lot for any family, especially when you have multiple kids. The cost to get new clothes and supplies can start to add up quickly. I don’t take for granted that I am able to shop and get all of my kids needs. I understand didn’t on what you are facing this can be almost impossible.
With that, I wanted to bring back my community giving – Back to school edition. Below are families that reached out to me, and shared their personal story. I got them set up with an Amazon wishlist, and my goal is help 100% clear each family’s list.
Anything will help these family, whether you grab 1 item or many. Click below the families Amazon Wishlist link. This will send you directly to their personal page. From there you will shop the list like you would normally shop on Amazon. When checking out you will select the families private address. Thank you in advance for making a contribution.
