Grinch Fund Party Story

I wish you all the happiest of Holidays, and a successful New Year!

Ever have that deep-down, gut wrenching feeling that makes you just sick in your heart? I woke today to that hollow feelingâ?¦My sister works at a local pub/restaurant that is a long-timefixture in the community, and the staff and patrons are more likefamily than anything else. Every year, they work tirelessly andgenerously to raise funds for local children who are without homes,families and more - and who would pass sadly through the Christmasseason without any kind of celebration, without a single gift otherwise.This year, they have a list of 29 little children, and due to theirenthusiasm and dedication to raising as much as they possibly could,they were able to raise over $5000 to provide a Christmas celebrationfor these awesome, eager little kids.Can you just imagine how those little faces must be shining withhope this year? All smiles, just beside themselves with joy that theywonâ??t pass through the Christmas season without notice this year? Thewarm and powerful message they are learning about the kindness ofstrangers?Well, how do you tell one of those little shining faces - nevermind29 - that it canâ??t happen after all?This morning at 7 am, we wereawakened by the phone to learn that the establishment has been brokenintoâ?¦ and you guessed it - the filthy thieves stole the Christmasâ??Grinch Fundâ?? that was lovingly collected and proudly promoted, all forthe kids. With a sledgehammer and hacksaw, they were able to disappearwith well over $5000â?¦ and the kidsâ?? Christmas.What kind of heartlessmonster would do such an evil thing?The tearful staff and customers are heartbroken, but still havenâ??tgiven up. Nobody wants the task of telling these kids they wonâ??t haveChristmas after all. So in desperation, they are exhausting everyavenue to recoup those losses - and I am begging you to help.Pleaseâ?¦If you have the ability to give to this worthy effort, Iâ??m askingfor your generosity this season. ANY amount! Itâ??s so rare to be able tosee the tangible effects of a donation, and I know that every singlepenny will go towards those children.
