Lottie Maynard Fund UPDATE

In the spirit of Christmas - where giving is better than receiving - the neighborhood's Lottie Maynard Fund is reaching out to a family of five.

Jennifer Cobb, the organizer of the gift-giving, said the family is a mom and four kids, ages 10 to 5. And the mother is in school to be a medical assistant.

Now is the time for people to step up to reach out to this neighbor. (This isn't the time to clear out the closet with old items; save those for a yard sale. Donations must be either new or gift cards.) 

The kids' wish list include:
  • Hannah Montana stuff (note pads, shirts, pens, general stuff)
  • Dora the Explorer doll and other Dora items
  • Star Wars Bakugan 
  • Michael Jackson shirts and other stuff
  • notebooks
  • hardback binders
  • other school supplies
  • Stuffed teddy bear
  • Lollypops
  • Dictionary, other learning books
  • Legos
  • Bookbags
Clothes:

  • Girls size 5/6/ shoes 11
  • Girls size 8/ shoes 13
  • Girls size 6/ shoes 12
  • Boys size 10/ shoes 3
For the mom:

  • Home Depot/Lowe’s/ or Walmart gift cards
  • Dishes
  • Bedding (king size)
  • Women’s clothes, size 11/12, Medium/Large, or shoes size 11.
Christmas Decorations:

  • Anything and everything. They need a Christmas tree/stand/etc.. lights, stockings, etc.
If anyone is able to donate new items, please contact Jennifer at 678.360.6084 or jcobb1978@gmail.com.   (The family would also benefit from gently used TV or a computer, but talk with Jennifer about those items.)
