Merry Christmas

I just wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you to everyone who supported our last project of love. The giving tree for the Smith family was a great success.  The main focus was to give items the family could do together and get out of the house and WOW did we do that!  Below I have listed some of the items the family received. I know it wasn't everything because many people mailed them items from across the country. I just again want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for your generosity and kindness over these past months.  Sonja shared with me that not one time did they have to worry about finances or how they would make a house payment and they were able to focus on their son. To me that was the main goal, and God provided for them through you!  What amazing love you have shown. Coltrane has touched so many lives and I know his story will continue to touch people's lives. Thank you for giving and being apart of it.  I love what the pastor said at the funeral, and I am encouraging you to do this. Pick a date next year and put it on your calendar to call, send a letter, or visit the Smith family.  Again thank you for being apart of this chapter in the Smith's families lives.  I know they can never say it enough but thank you again and again. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

One more day

Just want to remind everyone that tomorrow is your last day to bring your items and apples to Granny's Simple Blessings in Gravette and Creative Corner in Siloam Springs.  We will be delivering the items to the Smith family next week. Thank you to everyone for your wonderful generosity and support for the Smith family. 

Celebration of Coltrane's Life

"If you have a free one hour of time, please watch Coltrane's celebration of life service. It meant the world to us to have so many friends and family attend his service. It feels like we poured our hearts and souls into planning it and want others to share it with. I was so proud of how it turned out and felt like it was a perfect celebration of Coltrane."

Giving Tree

I just want to remind everyone that we have one week left for the giving tree. We have 2 trees. One is located at Granny's simple blessings in Gravette and the other one is located at Creative Corner on Broadway in Siloam Springs.  The tree is just one more way to help us love and support the Smith family during this Holiday season. Please make sure to bring you gift back by Friday, December 18th. We will be collecting all the items and creating a wonderful Christmas care package for the Smith family. Thank you again for all your generosity and kindness.

The Smith Giving Tree

We are excited to tell you about one last project of love for the Smith family! As of today, the Smith Giving Trees are available at Creative Corner on Broadway in Siloam Springs and Granny's Simple Blessings in Gravette. On these trees, inspired by Shel Silverstein's book The Giving Tree, are apples with ideas for ways to show love to the Smith family during the Christmas season. If you would like to participate, simply go to one of these generous businesses and pick an apple from the tree, make your purchase or contribution, and take your apple and gift back to the business. The final day of contributions will be Friday, December 18. Please feel free to address any questions to hogwildamber@gmail.com.



If you live out of town and would like to give, here are some ideas: 

• Gift Cards of any amount to: fast food restaurants, Malco Movie Theater, Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes and Nobel, etc....
• Any family outings: Silver Dollar City, Chuck E Cheese, Zoo, etc..
• Monetary donations of any amount to go towards bills

You can mail the gift to myself or the Smith family. Please email me for addresses.
