Let's Hope It's a Good One...

And so this is Christmas and what have we done? One of my favorite holiday tunes is John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)". I hear a message within a message each time it plays. There is the more blatant social commentary about peace, but also within the obvious a more subtle plea for taking care of one another. The old and the young, the rich and the poor. This has been a wonderful year of service for Out of the Gray. We are so grateful for the support and encouragement  and donations. 

A new year is just around the corner and we have our work cut out for us in 2015. There are remarkable organizations in King and Pierce counties. We have Ronald McDonald House, Ashley House, Fisher House, Children's Therapy Unit at Good Samaritan, and Children's Hospital in Seattle to name a few. All of them do such an admirable job of serving those with special needs and are worthy foundations in and of themselves. But who is serving the needs of those behind the scenes? The Ronald McDonald house in Seattle houses 80 families a night. Fisher House, on the campus of the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System, has 20 family suites. Someone in each of those rooms is sacrificing a bit, or likely most of their life to make sure someone they love is getting the care they need. Out of the Gray could spend 2015 helping in those two houses alone. Yet there are so many more. You can help ensure those unpaid caregivers are given the attention they so deserve. We don't just offer clothes. We offer hope. Just a few of your dollars can make the new year seem a little brighter, a little more manageable for many. 

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

Blessings,
Liz
