Every year, this project stresses me out. I worry that we won’t have enough donated, that we won’t be able to help all of the families we have committed to, that it won’t get done in time…. and every year, God puts his touch on our project and somehow it all works out. It’s absolutely miraculous to watch.
Before I get too far, I just wanted to let ALL of the Freebies2Deals readers know that even if you weren’t able to donate this year, you still did!! If you didn’t know, when you click & purchase on certain links on my site, I earn referral credits. When you do that and support Freebies2Deals, I am able to fill up my gift closet/room throughout the year and have a bunch of toys and items to donate each year to our Secret Santa Project! Without you guys using my links to purchase, I wouldn’t be able to contribute all of those extra donations each year. So THANK YOU!!
I am beyond grateful for all of your donations! My house was a complete mess, but it was so worth it. A lot of these families are really struggling to make ends meet, have lost family members recently in tragic accidents and one family even has a father with brain cancer who only has a few months to live. So thank you for all of your donations this year! I know they made a huge difference. And MERRY CHRISTMAS!
So without further ado, here is our 2015 Secret Santa Video:
