I recently offered to help with some holiday wish lists for children from families affected by suicide and overdose, as well as children of migrant farm workers. We fulfilled a family’s wishlist on Instagram earlier this week, and another (mentioned in email) so I asked for another because the Be More With Less Community is so amazing and thoughtful! This one<\/a> has 8 items. Most of the requests are a small investment that will make a big impact for these families. I think we can clear this wishlist today! If you’d like to contribute, please check out the wish list here<\/a>! P.S If the list is empty by the time you open it and you want to help, please send me an email and I’ll let you know if we adopt another list.<\/p>\n
