FOR FRANCIS: THE 3RD ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TOY DRIVE

THIS CAMPAIGN WILL RUN DECEMBER 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 20

WHO WAS FRANCIS VASQUEZ?

Francis Vasquez was many things to many people. He was a husband to wife, Lystra Vasquez. A father to Kibwe, Ayanna and Osokwe Vasquez. The son (and only child) of Hilda Vasquez. A grandfather. A friend. A teacher. An ordained evangelist. A missionary. And a fan of such shows as Seinfeld, Law & Order and NCIS.

On December 4th, 2018, Francis passed away. To say that he was someone with a heart for people would be an understatement. In honor of Francis and his incredible love for the holidays, we run the perfectly titled, ‘FOR FRANCIS’. A campaign with the sole purpose of donating gifts to great organizations like Children’s Hospital of LA (https://www.chla.org).

Last Christmas, through the ‘For Francis’ campaign, we were able to donate ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY-EIGHT gifts.

This year, our goal, while ambitious, is to hit 1,500 gift items. And with your generosity, we will! Every little bit counts. A $5 donation can help us get a coloring book for a child. A donation of $20, puzzles, headphones, etc.

We know times are hard and money is tight, so whatever you can donate is GREATLY appreciated. Even sharing this campaign with others is a way to help. We THANK YOU SO MUCH and hope you have a very blessed holiday season with family and friends!!
