Our Christmas Card Drive Comes to a Close

December 11, 2009

Thank you to everybody who participated in our Christmas Card Drive for Gavin – to all those who donated their handmade cards, to all those who bought them, and to all those who made a monetary donation. We’ve raised $1100 – not bad for a quick project – and it would have not been possible without all of your support. I’m sure this would be a wonderful Christmas present for Gavin from all of us.

To close this fundraiser, I would like to share photos of some of the kids who took the time to make cards for Gavin. If you purchased from this card drive, then you’ve received a couple of these children’s adorable cards. I’m sure their parents are very proud of how these kids did a wonderful job and helped our little Gavin.

This is a Pre-K Class at St. John Catholic School in San Lorenzo, CA. The school was able to donate 73 handmade cards.
This is a Nursery Class from Singapore International School Srinakarin (SISS) in Bangkok, Thailand.
And these are the adorable cards they made – very talented 3-yr olds, in my opinion.

And here is another class in Malaysia who did a magnificent job of making handmade cards for Gavin’s fundraiser.

Christmas Cards for Gavin, Batch 2

November 8, 2009

More handmade Christmas cards from generous donors for your perusal. Please make this fundraiser a success by purchasing some of these lovely cards here. All proceeds go to Gavin‘s Trust Fund.

My deepest thanks to everybody who made this fundraiser possible – those who donated Christmas cards, those who donated money, and those who bought the cards. I am truly grateful. We have raised a little over a thousand dollars – not bad, in my opinion – a good enough reason to consider this fundraiser a success. Thanks again so much. In our own little way, we have all helped Gavin. (December 11, 2009)

Christmas Cards for Gavin, Batch 1

November 2, 2009

I started receiving donated Christmas cards in the mail last week, and it’s very exciting! Even my daughters await the mail everyday since we got the first batch just to see if there’s a package in the mail that day. And they get to open them too!

Anyways, I got crazy busy the past few days – with Halloween and all – so it’s only today that I was able to work on sharing photos of some of the cards I already have on hand.

You can order these handmade Christmas cards, in sets of 8, 12, or 20, here. (Please do!) Note that when you order, you will get a random set of cards. All proceeds will be donated to Gavin’s Trust Fund. (You can read about Gavin and this fundraiser here, here, and here.)
