SUMMARY:Adopt a Family for Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Kristi Phillips is hoping to do something special this Christmas for a beautiful family she has gotten to know\, Edith and Miguel Allen Sallizar and their four kids: Emely (15)\, Jr. (11)\, Christopher (4)\, and Jayson (3). Christopher has special needs\, and the whole family works so hard to care for him without much help. \n Kristi is organizing this and she’d love to give each child a Christmas gift and host a fun afternoon for them at Common Thread Church on December 20 from 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.\, while their parents enjoy a nice lunch out. \nWe would be grateful for help funding the gifts and for folks (adults and kids) who can come play board games with the older ones or spend time with the little ones. If you’d like to donate towards gifts or lunch\, you can give Kristi cash or a check at church\, or Venmo her at @Kristi-Phillips-18 (last 4 digits: 6915). \nAnd if you’re able to come and play\, please sign up using the link below. \nSign Up
