We Care
We come from all over the world. We speak different languages. We come from diverse cultures.
Some of us are educated and some are not. Some have much, others amongst us do not. Many of us are religious but there are many amongst us who are not.
We have thoughts, beliefs, opinions and habits that are as numerous as the stars in the sky and yet there is one thing we hold in common: we love Christmas.
For more than a decade, from the days when the Internet had an online population measured only in the thousands, we have been celebrating Christmas together. And now together we work to celebrate Christmas in it’s purest form: by giving.
The united webmasters of the Merry Network present this venue for one simple purpose: to help bring a Merry Christmas to a family in need. Like the famous gift bringer of old, we seek only to supply a little joy, to give anonymously, to spread the cheer of Christmas a little further.
For Christmas 2009 the mission of Santa’s Sleigh is very clear: we want to help this young man:
Meet Andrew — or, Drew, as he is affectionately known by family and friends. He is a 13-year-old California boy with special needs who has defied the odds through years of surgeries and lots of love. He is the sole focus of our efforts for Santa’s Sleigh 2009.
As a growing boy with ongoing medical needs Drew requires updated equipment to help transport him to school, frequent medical appointments and family functions. Specifically, he needs a van with a wheel chair lift. These outfits typically cost greater than $50,000. We hope through our efforts here — combined with a number of local efforts on his behalf — we can help Santa deliver this special gift for Drew this Christmas.
