Hello everyone!

The holiday season is coming and so is the time to bless others! For the last 3 years I have given gift bags to individuals in recovery from addictions. These addicts are fighting a tough battle and every day is a struggle. When getting sober they don't have much and could use these essential items. I battled addiction for many years and have been in multiple jails, rehabs and sober houses. I now have a passion to help the people that are in the same position as I was.

The gift bags are distributed to multiple sober houses in Medina, Brunswick, Cleveland, Akron and Wadsworth. I try to include something new each year. I asked what they could use the most and they said laundry products. This year I chose to include 2 laundry pods and dryer sheets!

The gift bags include the following items:

• Alcoholic's Anonymous 12-step Mini Book
• Body Wash & Shampoo
• Deodorant
• Shaving Razor
• Toothbrush & Toothpaste
• Clothing – Hats, Gloves & Socks
• Candy
• 2 Laundry Pods & Dryer Sheets

I've put these gift bags together myself each year and now I'd like to give you an opportunity to help as well. This year I'm trying to reach 100 people and I'm asking for your support in making this possible. Your help with these $15 bags will be more valuable to them than you could possibly imagine. Thank you in advance for joining me in helping people in recovery through your kindness and generosity.

Have a safe and fun holiday season!
