Domeij donations update

Many of you have asked how the efforts have gone to raise money for the Domeij's.  In fact some have been checking this site and/or our Facebook page in order to get an update.  We were not sure we were going to post the gifts that were purchased, but have since decided that we would so all of you who donated can take pride in the blessings you have passed on to the Domeij family.  Therefore, although we have 5 days to go until Christmas, we wanted to provide an update, especially since last weekend we were able to visit Mrs. Domeij and her daughters in order to give her the gifts that had been purchased using the $1,100 that had been received at that point. With these funds we were able to give the Domeij family:
  • Littlest pet shop scooter/doll/animal toy 
  • Littlest pet shop swing set/cat and dog toy
  • Little Mommy play set (stroller and crib)
  • Little Mommy doll 2 year old +
  • Little Mommy doll 18 month +
  • Little people Lego's
  • Fisher Price smart laptop
  • Fisher Price tea set
  • Little people tree house
  • Little people castle
  • Pajamas for both girls
  • Dresses for both girls
  • Sweater/legging set for both girls
  • Magnetic dolls
  • Diaper bag for baby dolls
  • $400 Safeway gift certificate
  • $25 Starbucks gift certificate
  • $75 Kohl's gift certificate
  • $200 Target gift certificate
  • $100 Shell gift certificate
  • $30 McDonald's gift certificate
  • Box of gently used hand me downs from a neighbor with a Kohl's and Great Clips gift certificate
  • We also had a Christmas ornament made.  The ornament is of Kris and his 2 daughters on his lap.  The picture was etched onto a glass ornament and we sent 1 to Kris' mother, mother-in-law and of course, his wife.
Since last Friday another $400 has been raised...taking the total donations in excess of $1,500!!

On the 23rd we have hired Sam's Custom Sets (www.samscustomsets.com) to construct a playhouse/swing set (see picture on previous Facebook posts) and have purchased a kitchen set to be placed inside that the girls can play with.

Lastly, the Domeij family was featured in this weeks People magazine and contained therein is a fantastic summary of Sgt 1st Class Domeij and everything he did for our Country. 

Thank you to everyone who have donated and we are excited to see what else is raised over the next 4 nights. 

God Bless and Merry Christmas
