Adopt-A-Family
The Holidays are approaching and many people are without the necessities to provide for their families. As a member of the National City Adopt a Family, I have offered to help sponsor a family in need. Most of the families that we provide charitable gifts for are either homeless or in destitute and can not provide for their families. Our donations will be distributed to the family in December. With the help from the group, we will reach our goal this year to sponsor 35 families.
History:
The Adopt a Family for Christmas was established in Corporate Human Resources at National City prior to 1996 as part of an employee community involvement project. The program sponsored one family with two children ages’ 2 and 4 years old living on welfare without the funds to provide a Christmas for her children. The Adopt a Family contacted the mother and wanted her to know that we will help provide the gifts, toys, clothes and other items that she and her children needed to have a wonderful holiday season. All gifts were delivered directly to the family and we have maintained that process for the next eleven years. The family really appreciated all of the toys, food and clothing that Program provided for them. Since then each year we increase the number of families the Adopt a Family would sponsor.
1996-1999, the Adopt a Family program sponsored 10 families with 34 children ages from 6 months old to 9 years old
2000-2003- the Adopt a Family sponsored twelve families with 40 children, ages 1 year old to fifteen.
2004-2007, the Adopt a Family sponsored 50 families with over 200 children, ages 2 years old to 18 years old.
2006 – The committee received the Excel Award.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to participate again this year.
Thank you very much!!!

Hello,
My name is Christina C.
I am the mother of identical twin boys Courage and Wisdom.
Last year I was a Surrogate Mother and also had another set of Twins for another couple as well.
What an awesome maker we have.
God Bless.
Since then I have not found steady work again and this year as the holidays are approaching I find myself just being able to keep the bills current,much less
have anything left over to get the boys.
I thank God that there are programs such as your self who are kind and unselfish enough to think of others who are less fortunate,or just in need.
The boys Birthday is Dec.20th and I have picked up a cold calling side job to try to help make
something happen for them.
Any help you may be able to offer would be
SO GREATLY Appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
God Bless you and yours,
Christina

Hello
My name is Dawn and I am writing because, my family is desperately searching for the answer to our prayers. Everyday is a struggle. It's so hard to go day by day worrying if you are going to make the rent much less have money to spend on Christmas presents. Well I thought about what state I was in for a long time, and since I am the older sister in the family I thought it would be cool if I went out and tried to get help for my family. I have two brothers; 11, and 13; my mom and stepdad. Our family would greatly GREATLY appreciate any kind of help. My mom had cancer about a year ago and ever since, times are really really tough. Those hospital bills sure are expensive. Thank you so much for your time and consideration to whom ever read this.
Thanks again and God Bless,
Dawn
