The Hopeful Hearts Foundation is requesting your help!

We are collecting blessing bag items for orphaned children in Afghanistan. These bags will be passed out to the children of the Aschiana School in the village of Barack Aub by a mission team for Christmas.

These children have been orphaned by war in their country with either one or both parents having been killed. They may have just been separated and neither the child nor the parents know the whereabouts of the other. The annual blessing bags give a bright spot of cheer in the lives of these little people who really have no hope. Would you prayerfully consider helping to bring joy to a little one who has nothing?

The deadline for the bags is September 15th. The items can be dropped off at Heick Hester and Associates located at 408 Blankenbaker Parkway, Louisville, KY or contact  a HHF Board Member and we will make arrangements for pick-up.

If you are unable to donate items at this time, but would still like to help, please consider giving a tax-deductible contribution to support this effort.

The following items are needed:

Small Toy for a girl (similar in size of Polly Pocket dolls)
Dark Colored Socks (no whites please) Child sizes: Medium and Large
Small Stuffed Animal (Beanie baby size)

REMEMBER:  This is a wonderful activity for Scout Troops/School Classroom projects/Sunday School classes/Workplace Community Service projects/Home Economics Clubs/Junior League/Sorority and Fraternity Projects/etc.
