About Me



We are trying to get together gifts to fill shoe boxes for sailors. We also need help with shipping as it is really high!

We want to get as many gifts to as many sailors as we possibly can. Did you know that some sailors don't get a gift for Christmas because their family and friends can not afford the shipping! These men and women deserve something from someone! Even if it just a letter wishing them well and thanking them for all they do!

Please help us on our mission to get packages to as many sailors as possible!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Number of boxes needed: 350
Number of boxes collected: 170

(We were also able to purchase 180 other items to make a grab box, so every sailor will receive something for Christmas. Thank you all for your support.)

This brings our total to 350 gifts sent to the USS Whidbey Island!

Amount needed for shipping: $1,050.00
Amount collected: $703.23

We will keep you informed on what your donations are going to!! Also, if we happen to collect too much we will roll it over to next year! We hope to be able to take on more than one ship next year!!

Any amount big or small. We are estimating a cost of about $3.00 a box, or you can donate enough to make a box and pay for shipping, enough to put something in a box!! Every bit helps! Thank you so much!!!
