July is the month we start to try to obtain toys to give out at Christmas. Last year with the help of Howie and our families in Kentucky and Tennessee, we were able to give out 5 pick-up loads of unwrapped presents and one pick-up load of wrapped presents (thanks Jennifer and Collie for wrapping in a freezing house).
We are so thankful for the Crownpoint Navajo Police Department for their assistance in delivery of the toys. The school nurse’s mouse from Borrego Pass School (in Navajo that would be Dibe Yazhi Habitii’n O’lt’a) in Crownpoint, NM for assistance in last year’s “Santa the Rez Clause.” Pediatricians at Crownpoint IHS were also able to give presents out in their clinics. We even had enough wrapped toys for Christmas Eve in the ER.
Thank you the staff at Crownpoint for your support. We look forward to working with you this fall. We do need donations of toys, Santa elves’ to wrap, and money for the wrapping paper and tape.
Keshmish baa’ hozho – Merry Christmas
