Under The Same Moon Org

Once again, through the generosity of so many, we were able to ship a HUGE container of children’s underwear and children’s acetaminophen to the kids at Bendicion. Julio identified these as items where the need is great and the parents’ ability to purchase them is almost nonexistent.

I suspect it’s difficult for most of us to imagine that children would be excited to receive such seemingly mundane items. But, in their world, these kids receive few gifts and little to no new clothing. These gifts remind them that there are people who care very much about their well-being and serve to reinforce their identification with the school, the importance of education, and the community at large.

We are so grateful to each and every one of you who participated in this year’s drive. For almost a month, packages arrived at the house daily. Others sent along funds so we could fill in the gaps. While some packages included the sender’s identification, others did not. If we haven’t reached out to thank you for your generous gift(s), let us know. We so very much want to acknowledge your kindness.

Donations are always welcome. Monetary donations can be made through our website at underthesamemoon.org, through Venmo or via check mailed to: UTSM, 84 Regatta Road, Weymouth MA 02191.

You all give us hope for a better world for the children at Bendicion de Dios.
