Last Minute Needs for Toybox
As we enter delivery week, the Jaycee Toybox Project needs your help! In our efforts to fill "Santa Wish lists" for the children of Cape Girardeau, we are in need of toys for our older age group, 10-12, for both boys and girls.
"Clare" is raising twins, a boy and a girl age 11, on the earnings from waitressing two jobs. She often goes from her lunch shift and rolls straight into a dinner shift while a neighbor helps watch the children. She knows that this is not an ideal situation for her children and family, but believes that there is no greater lesson than teaching her children that hard work pays off. "I want my children to remember their mom as someone who worked for what they had."
At the end of the day, the pay is not always enough and this holiday season, "Clare" reluctantly sought assistance to make Christmas special for her children through the Jaycee Toybox. The children's Christmas list includes Duck Dynasty items, a laser Tag game, Guinness World Record Book, a colorful purse, a caboodle with makeup, and a friendship bracelet craft kit.
Clare is a single mom, working hard to raise her children in a difficult situation. She stated, "It is not easy to ask for help, but these are my kids and its Christmas, I want it to be special for them."
That is what Toybox is all about...thank you for your continued support.
