The past few weeks I've been having a blast purchasing gifts for the children we are sponsoring. I have to say that $60 does not go as far as I thought. I’m grateful for all of the people who have been purchasing candy for this project since that has allowed me to stretch my purchases even more. In total we raised $832 of which $262 was from candy sales.

The wrapping and packaging is all done (not so much fun) and I dropped off all the remaining items on Thursday at the OSC headquarters. They were all so helpful and organized so it made the drop off very easy.

I was amazed to see how many packages were there for all the different locations throughout the state. It was also cool so see just how many people also drop off homemade items like hats and mittens. I’m sure any young kid who doesn’t have a great family life and may not even have grandparents would love to receive these items.

I am very proud to be part of this program and to see what wonderful and caring sponsors exist in NH. Though I have had a roller coaster of emotions throughout this process I will ALWAYS participate in this program one way or another.

Thanks to all my sponsors and for the volunteers at OSC for making this a successful senior project, where we sponsored 16 children in total.
