Christmas gifts for injured Soldiers in Ukraine
This Christmas marks the third year in a row that we are uniting to bring comfort to Ukraine’s wounded soldiers. Each gift is more than a present - it is a message of gratitude, love and hope. These brave men and women have made huge sacrifices defending their country and our freedom, and together we can remind them they are not forgotten. With your help, we will deliver warmth, care, and dignity to hospital wards across Ukraine
If you would like to help, you are invited to pack a shoe box for an injured. The soldiers have suffered severe, life-changing injuries, and are in rehab hospitals often a very long way from home. They are mostly men, but there are some women.
Please fill a shoe box with:
* something to wear - socks, warm hat, gloves,
* something to do - small game (not language dependent), puzzle, airfix kit (avoid military), notebook, pens, art materials
* treats to eat - biscuits, chocolates, sweets, durable cake
* maybe some nice toiletries, but not everyday things - they can get toothpaste, shower gel etc in the hospital
* a Christmas card with simple message - happy Christmas, thinking of you, with love ----- / the ---- family
Please wrap the OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND LID SEPARATELY - but not the contents - so that they receive a brightly wrapped box/lid. No need to list contents, just make sure the lid is removable.
Deadline: Please bring your gift to St Matthew's in November by Sunday 16th. If you can't get to the church please contact Yvonne Sanderson (
yksanderson@yahoo.co.uk, or 07930 998221) to arrange collection. Thank you; your support is much appreciated.
