Give a Shoebox, Get a Portrait

I'm sitting here in my warm, cozy house, on this crisp fall morning with my two beautiful kids, and can't help but feel overwhelmingly lucky. We have SO much! My kids never go hungry, sleep in soft, snuggley beds, and at Christmas time, they're completely spoiled by their gramma's and grampas and aunties and uncles.

However, there are little ones all over the world who aren't as fortunate, and that is something my husband and I have worked really hard to make our kids aware of and compassionate towards. We've always tried to instill a greater sense of humanity and compassion in our kids, and do volunteering and giving activities with them, regularly, and they really enjoy it. So this Christmas, one of the things we are taking part in, is the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. Basically, you fill a shoebox with little items like crayons and stickers and toys for a little girl or boy, and the Samaritan's Purse distributes them to some of the neediest places on earth. For some of these kids, it's the first gift they've ever received!


So, we would like to encourage everyone out there to take part in this awesome, and SIMPLE way of giving, and to encourage this, Indi*Claire photography will be offering the Give a Shoebox, Get a Portrait Campaign for 1 week, only (October 31-November7).

For a minimum donation of 2 filled shoe boxes (see http://samaritanspurse.ca for details and suggested items) you will receive;
