A GP family, 2 parents and 5 children, lost their house and everything they owned except the pajamas they were wearing when a fire destroyed their home at 802 Wahoo Dr. this morning. The Santa Cop program will provide toys for the children but they are in immediate need of clothing and other personal items. They will also need items to set up housekeeping later (they are staying with a relative temporarily).
Here are clothing sizes if you have some quality used items to donate or if you would like to purchase something new:
Adult male (Dad) 38 pants, Large Shirts, 11 ½ shoes
Adult female (Mom) 7-8 clothes, 8 ½ shoes
7 year old twin boys: 7-8 clothes, 3 ½ shoes
6 year old boy: 6-7 clothes, 3 shoes
2 year old girl: 2t clothes, 5-6 toddler shoes
3 month old boy: 3-6 month clothes
If you would like to donate a Wal-Mart or Target gift card or make a cash donation, that would be appreciated and useful to the family. Jennifer Gambino, Executive Assistant Patrol Bureau, will receive and then present all donations to the family. Her email is jgambino@gptx.org if you have questions.
Thank you for your consideration and especially your prayers for this family in crisis and need.
Please reply to this email if you can help . . .
