Don't Cry, I'm Here

DCIH received it's first payment of our GoFundMe Campaign. It is now safely deposited into our DCIH account. A HUGE thanks to all the people that donated to this fund. It is being strictly used for refugee families that are in dire need of essential items...diapers, food, seasonal clothing, jackets, snowpants, shoes, winter boots etc.

I was given the option to leave it open and running and I have chosen to do that due to the fact that we have so much essential need for the families that I am working directly with.

If you would like to make a donation to this "Essentials Fund"....below is the link. This will be an ongoing GoFundMe fundraiser.

If you have any questions....PM me.

Thanks to everyone!

Please help us so we can help newly arrived refugees. They come with very little and need to build a whole new life.

These Winter Essentials are going to the Mom of an asylum seeking family. This family has let me know that these are the items they need. They all have winter jackets from last year that still fit them from a different nonprofit so we don't need to provide them to this family.

This Mom is pregnant and needs winter maternity clothing that will fit her for most of the winter.

Hats off to our refugee parents who have done what they need to do to get their families to the United States safely. It's a very treacherous journey.

Target Chooses “Don’t Cry…I’m Here” to Facilitate Target’s National Holiday Program “The Great Gift Together”

After much consideration, "Don't Cry...I'm Here" DCIH has chosen the two families that will receive these two $250.00 worth of gifts from Target. They are both refugee families from Africa. One family has four children ages 1 through 8 years old and the second family has six children 10 through 18 years old. Both families have recently arrived from Africa through Lutheran Social Service/Refugee Services. Each family will receive $250 of gifts from Target based on a list each family has provided. Target employees will choose the gifts based on each of the family’s Wish List. Target will wrap the gifts and deliver the gifts to DCIH, DCIH will give them to LSS, and LSS will deliver the gifts to the two families before Christmas.

A HUGE thank you to Target for providing a total of $ 500.00 in gifts to 2 very deserving refugee families. I’m so honored that Target chose “Don’t Cry…I’m Here” to facilitate this “The Great Gift Together” Christmas Program.

This is everything that will be in Infant Girl Tote #848 for a itty bitty baby girl from Ukraine that will be picked up by Lutheran Social Service-Refugee Services (LSS) and dropped off to her by her case worker. It is a beautiful selection of items from many different donors.
Thank you to everyone.

We just received a wonderful donation of 17 children's fishing and hunting books donated by children's author Kevin Lovegreen from St. Paul, MN. Some of them are children's chapter books, and some of them are children's hard cover books. They are filled with adventures for little kids to read and enjoy. They are fun and engaging books and will encourage the kids to love to read. A HUGE thanks to Kevin Lovegreen and his team for this wonderful donation to our refugee children.

What a gift to our children!

Afghanistan...18 Inch Doll...Tote #838

We just received 5 cases of books donated by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's publishing company. Each case has 36 books of 5 different titles in it...for a total of 180 books with such amazing messages to children. "Incredible You" is a New York Times bestseller. We had gotten a donation of one of his books from Jennie Orr Thomas ....I read it...and knew I wanted to get some of these for our refugee children. I contacted his publishing company, he died a few years ago, and they approved a large donation of his books to DCIH for our refugee children.

What a gift to our children!
