I told you about putting up an ‘Angel Tree’ in my establishment a few days ago. Well I thought I would update you on it’s progress. A local business has donated 10 Game Boys and 10 games for it for children on the tree. Another local store has donated turkeys for every ‘Angel’ on the tree. Then another business has donated $15 gift cards for every one on the tree so the children can get what ever they want.
Angel requests are still coming in as more families learn that it’s up already so as fast as an ‘Angel’ is taken, there’s almost another to replace it. Luckily a lot of local churches have come to offer gifts for the children and families too. There is a lot of need this year in our community unfortunately with so many still trying to rebuild their lives but that’s one of the things that makes New Orleans a great city, people really care about each other and my little ‘Angel tree’ is proof.
