By The Hand needs your help!

Dear Friends and Family,

First of all, thank you so much for your continued prayer and financial support for By The Hand. God has blessed us through so many different people who have supported By The Hand in numerous ways.

With that said, I'm asking for your help in obtaining some supplies for our kids.

Every week, we have something called the "club store". Students earn points throughout the week by saying their memory verse, attending the club, doing homework, etc. They then spend these points on little toys and things at the club store. Unfortunately, we have not been able to offer the kids very much with the store, because we've had to cut down on the budget. We would love to make the club store really special for the kids so that we can reward them for their hard work.

If you would like to donate, we are in need of donations for our club store. Usually, we order little trinkety things from places like Oriental Trading and put those things in the store. It's just small toys and games and other things that would be fun for elementary school students to earn. There are a few ways you can donate. You can donate money and designate that it is meant to go towards the club store or you can order club store items yourself and just have them sent to By The Hand. Make sure that it's clear that you are meaning to donate to the club store so that the items go to the right place.

You can sent items to our director and the address you can use is:

Attn. Sarah James
C/O By The Hand Club for Kids
1000 N. Sedgwick
Chicago, IL 60610

If you live in the Chicago area and prefer to just give donations to me, I can make sure that they get to By The Hand.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity!

Love,
Sarah
