Hey

My lovely 20 year old daughter put me to shame today. She emailed me to ask whether I had an odd shoe box lying around at home. On further questioning she tells me that she has been buying items to put in a shoe box to send out to soldiers in Afghanistan. She sent me the link below. She made me cry to be honest and I said I would do a box myself, Maybe a few others could do a box too???

We used to do the shoebox appeal for Romanians at my last job.

I worked with adult with learning disabilities and we all used to do them at night. The last year I was there we had over 40 boxes to send.

Well done to your daughter GB.
I am sure I have two boxes upstairs.
(Got into the habit of keeping them $:-\$ )

thanks GB - I had also heard about this and had meant to do it, you've reminded me. Thanks ! (shame you're not allowed to put a bottle of beer in it though, they deserve a glass or two.).

Im going to do a box and have asked the other girls at work to do one :-) will also ask permission to send to the whole floor (I work for KPMG so there is a lot of us!)

The more the better and it is such a good cause.

being charitable brings it's rewards! Step one - purchase a pair of shoes so that I have a shoe box to fill:D
