Well howdy hey howdy hi.
To start off with this may sound like we haven't achieved anything in the past week, we now have the ball semi rolling. Do to the fact that the company has yet to reply in detail to our idea we still haven’t been given any major ideas for what to buy other than basic supplies like towels and cleaning stuff. I plan on heading out and buying some general toys, while Brian and Mel go and get those basic supplies. While waiting for the company our teacher gave us some ideas about how we could get the community involved. Like doing some kind of fundraiser. I Brian suggested that we asked our school’s principe if we could set up a table at lunch for a week or two to gather basic supplies. We could also come up with some kind of incentive for the students to bring in stuff. We’ll look further into this idea in the upcoming weeks. I also suggested that we tell our parents about the plan and have them tell their friends about the cause and spread the word. The more people we can convince to help out and get supplies the better, the more people will be able to help. I’m sure by next week we will have the plan sorted out with more detail. Once we get the plan finalized we can start asking parents and family for donations for the foster families. I still have high hopes for this project and believe we can do great. Have a lovely day, and rember to smile and wave. - Gannon

It’s time for a new year, and time to update on the project.
Our original goals for the project, my original goals for the project, was to contact a local company and ask them if it would be alright if they asked so local families with foster children what their kids would want for a gift basket of some kind. To spread some joy for thoses who might not be able to afford a bunch of toys, we knew some in the community with foster siblings. I believed that we would be able to achieve this goal twice, once in December and once in March, but alas due to my own lack of motivation we were unable to achieve this goal. Now the goal has changed a little bit, instead of two gift baskets just one in February. Brain was able to email a local company in december. After several emails they finally responded, they said something to the effect of this, “We will look into your idea, we will respond to you around January 15.” I plan to over the future weekends go to Walmart or Target, use money I’ve gained from helping family, and buy some basic supplies and gifts to be ready for when the company responds by the end of this month. The current goal is to gain supplies for 3 or 4 gift baskets. To raise money I’ve suggested we have our parents send messages to friends and family about our goal or use preowned money. I really need to put in more effort into this project. I believe we will be successful in the end. Have a lovely day, and rember to smile and wave. - Gannon |
