| Boys and Girls Club of Belen- Blanket Drive |
I had the joy of traveling to Belen to speak with the children in the Boy's and Girl's Club recently and found it an absolute joy. The children were so open- asking questions about how people become homeless. Very good listeners and generous in their caring. They went on to hold a blanket drive- along with several other B &G's clubs in the area and donated them just before the cold spell hit us here in Albuquerque and winter shelter opened.
We love to see children growing up with caring hearts for the less fortunate!

| Little Child- Big Heart= BIG IMPACT! |
Leedy Corbin at age 5, has already begun a life of caring about others that have less.
When Leedy learned about the homeless men, women and children on our streets of Albuquerque she immediately began to form a plan on how she would help give one home of their own. Her dream was to save up enough money to buy a house, but after telling her mother about what she wanted to do(and being lovingly steered towards feeding a table filled with our guests here at the Mission as a goal) she enthusiastically began working to do just that.
Over 2 months she saved every penny of her allowance, found pennies on the street, even took up a collection at the holiday festivities her family took part in, she came to the mission with her little box mostly filled with change and a big smile for the good she was doing.
Her hard work paid off with a gift to the Mission of $31.53!
We want to thank Leedy, her family and friends, and all of our dedicated, caring donors every day!
Without you, we cannot complete the work our Lord has given us.
