KD's Mind Map

If I could have just one wish this holiday season it would be for each child's wish on the Angel Tree at the University of Richmond to be granted. When I think about any child, especially one with a chronic illness, going this holiday without the most basic of necessities it makes my heart weep.

While many people ask for such items as plasma t.v.'s, iPod's, game consoles Wii and PlayStations), and other expensive gifts, these children are asking for warm coats, a CD, under garments, and other gifts that most of us take for granted as a basic need - not a Christmas gift.

I hope that each student will stop by and pick up a child’s wish at the Student Activities Desk. There were 80 children this year and as of Decembe1st, there were still 44 Angels left on the tree. Please grant my wish and ask each student to return their wrapped gift to the Student Activities Desk by December 10^th , wrapped.
