HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO SEND A CARE PACKAGE TO THE DEPLOYED BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START? Maybe you just don't have the time to get the items purchased, packaged and get to the post office to ship? Well, with my own son being deployed I have a connection. Let me do the work for you!!! :-)
His group will be gone until the latter part of the year. (October/November 2014) Every two weeks, I send a package(s) to him, and each time I talk to him, I hear of this friend or that friend that hasn't gotten a package from their family. This breaks my heart.
There are now 30 Sailors and Marines on the list of individuals needing packages from home.
While out at sea, the need of protein (tuna, beef jerky, nuts, breakfast bars) is a big request. In addition, to tea, gatorade powder, writing materials, socks, pillow cases, toothpaste, deodorant and more is also asked for.
Shipping to the Military while deployed is costing (at discount) $12/$15 depending on the size of the box. My goal is to pack a $50 box of goodies per Marine/Sailor and get it shipped off as soon as the funds become available. (Each box costing approx. $65 total)
So as you use your computer to read this post, remember that the parts used to make that computer is more than likely made in Taiwan, and our Sailors and Marines protect those waters to get it here. Also, when you get in your car in the morning to go to work, remember your fuel is likely coming from the middle east.
Every $5, $10, $20.......... would get us that much closer to putting a smile on the face of a young man or woman that is fighting to protect you, and your family.
Please help me, and let me do the work for you!!
Thank you so much!
(To my personal family and friends... if you would like this donation to go towards GG's packages, please add that note when you make your payment; otherwise, all funds raised will go to the names I have received of other Sailors/Marines). Thanks Again
