Make Christmas Count for the Children of Gibault

Once again our envoy to Gibault, Roger Zellers, is asking for donations for the children of Gibault. Enclosed is his letter to the men of Cardinal Stritch Council 4620.

Dear brother Knights,

Once again I am asking for a donation to Gibault.  It will help the children have a good Christmas. For a few of the children, it will be their first Christmas in a caring environment.

The children who come to Gibault have experienced complex trauma in a wide range of events and challenges in their lives.  These can include physical and sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, as well as neglect.  Traumas have devastating effect on anyone.  It leads to behavior problems, difficulty trusting others and maintaining relationships, as well as drug and alcohol abuse.

I ask your help.  Hopefully the Knights’ generosity will help the children realize someone cares.  Gibault is an Indiana Knights’ charity.  I do so appreciate your help for these children in the past.

Download this list of items from their Christmas list.  If you can donate, go out and buy a present or presents (but do not wrap) and/or send a check made out to Gibault to me via mail to the address below.

Please drop off your present(s) or check by December 12th.

Peace and Prayers and Merry Christmas
