Hello Everyone, my name is Linda Straith, but I am also known as
Earth Angel Granny in Northern Illinois,U.S.A.
I established
& run a program called Earth Angels in Dec. 2004. I made a promise
to God that if I survived the 2 1/2 yrs of combo treatment, I would
find a way to give back to the community that was there for me. This
year will be our 12th Christmas season! Altho I work with families
year round, it is during the Christmas season that I really need help.
We also utilize Facebook & Paypal in order to make it easier for
everyone wanting to participate in a worthy cause. As of Jan 2011, our
two major employers (printing plants) closed their doors. Leaving in
our small rual community approx. 2000 people w/o jobs, and who have
lost even more. In 2012, we managed to reach out to 972 children (62
children being from military families). Fast forwarding to 2016, we
were able to reach out to 658 children ! Each year, the number
changes, but the need is still there. I could not do what I do w/o
everyone's help.I know times are tough all over, no one has gone
untouched by todays economy. But I am asking to PLEASE help if you
can.. To help bring a lil joy into the life of a child in need this
coming holiday season. You can earn your Earth Angel wings by
sponsoring a chilld for Christmas. With your contribution, he or she
will know Santa didn't forget them after all. Our goal is to reach out
to families in need currently residing in Ogle County, Illinois (but
with your help, no family in need is ever turned away) that has
"fallen through the system" somehow, and are unable to
receive any kind of assistance, but could really use an Earth Angel
assigned to them to make this a special Christmas after all..
Remember, the names I gather need your help, generosity & opened
hearts for toys & donations to make this year a success! Remember,
every time you hear a bell ring, an angel gets their wings...TOGETHER
we can make Ogle County IL. and then some,the largest group of bell
ringing Earth Angels once again this year!
