April, 2015 Adoption

[Pat L. in IL]

For April, we are going to adopt the small groups from the website. They are numbered and the number will be the same for their address post in "MAS We Ship Love."  We will start shipping on April 25.

#1

Miguel - Navy - 10 males & 1 female - They have requested air fresheners, snacks, razors, shaving cream, games, and playing cards. Pillowcases are a go.

#2

Anthony - Navy - 5 males - They requested microwave food, snacks, and water bottles. Pillowcases are a go.

#3

Alexis - Navy - 1 female - This request was sent to me by Anthony because Alexis never gets any mail. Let's send her some "girlie" stuff and let her know she is appreciated.

#4

Michael - Marines - 6 males - They requested air fresheners, snacks, and toiletries. They also specifically requested pillowcases!

#5

Brandon - Navy - 10 males & 10 females - They requested sunflower seeds, air fresheners, beef jerky, hand sanitizer, candy, popcorn, and movies. Pillowcases are a go.

#6

Brianna - Navy - 40 males & 17 females - They requested microwave food, candy, chips, nuts, and snacks. Pillowcases are a go.

#7

Phylicia - Navy - 20 males & 10 females - They requested shampoo, conditioner, laundry pods, Clorox wipes, cookies, candy, coffee, ranch sunflower seeds, games, deodorant, body wash, and snacks. Pillowcases are a go.

#8

Kendell - Navy - 6 males - They requested snacks, beef jerky, and tuna. Pillowcases are a go.

Please choose a group and let's send them some love from home!

When you choose a group, please send me the number of the group and amount of boxes you are sending. I will keep a running tally and post it frequently.

I had adopted Group #4 and sent them each a box and a couple to share. I never expect to hear back when I send care packages (I always add my email at the bottom of my cards just in case) but it is always great when I do! I received this wonderful thank you note this morning!

Good afternoon Kim,

I received all of your boxes today in the mail.  I just got back on ship from being ashore for a month.  The pillow cases had a great taste of style to add to our pillows.  Our deployment is rolling around to an end.  We  have been deployed since December and in roughly 53 days we will be back stateside.   I want to thank you very much for the support and the kind words you had sent in those letters!  My guys were excited to each have a box waiting for them on their racks.  God Bless!!

Respectfully Submitted,

Corporal Michael XXXX

We do make a difference ladies!

Over the weekend a Thank you email arrived from one of the sailors in Group 7. Here's a big part of the message -

Thank you so much for the time, money, and effort you took to keep us in mind. I’m a sailor on board the USS _____ and we have been out doing operations since ___ 2014. These things really lift the spirits of all on board. You seemed so humbled in your letter but I cannot express how much this means to everyone. As a matter of fact our ship is not one that is allotted much time in port so our supplies really run low. ... Please know you are a true patriot and we are proud to serve you. Thank you again. God Bless!!

Doesn't that just do your heart good? Thanks for sharing!
