Nearly 55 winter coats made their way into the wanting hands of the children and staff at King Elementary School in Chicago. The photo of coats is just a small sample of the coats donated by Kids4Good and the Hinsdale Central Amnesty International Club.
Ms. Velasco of King met us on Thursday, Dec. 9th and she was truly amazed by the outpouring of such wonderful donors. Ms. Velasco said that many children have inquired about obtaining coats. She went on to say that "these are simply beautiful and the kids will be suprised to know that someone cares about them." I couldn't put it any better than that!!
At this time of the year it really doesn't matter that we reach out to people close to home, in Chicago, or some far away place as long as we reach out to help those most in need. To each of you who have raised funds, bought coats, collected them from your closets or sought them out from your neighbors, please accept my thanks on behalf of the King Elementary School students.Happy Holidays,
Dick
