My name is Crystal Hammond. My husband and
I are stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. We have 
two wonderful children who could really use 
help with a Christmas. My daughter is Lexie
and she is 5, my son Brandon is 13. Right 
now my husband is due to deploy between now
and Feb. 08. He is in the training area of 
this transition right now, so he of course 
is working a lot a late nights, and we are 
seeing him less, but THANK the LORD we still 
see him. The children are aware of his upcoming
deployment and we are just praying he has this
Christmas with us. If he does, this will be 
the first in three years together on Christmas
Day. I really wish for them to at least have 
something they really want and have asked for.
My daughter wants a handheld leapster (pink)
and my son would like the Madden 08 Football.
They both could use some long sleeve shirts 
and my daughter some jeans. Currently she does
not have a warm coat, just some sweaters to 
wear for right now. She likes Barbie and Baby 
Bratz. My son is into almost anything. Anything
at this point is fine with them, they are not 
picky. My husband and I have had a few car repairs
and we are currently having to pay some attorney
fees for our current vehicle. We still owe them 
$277.00, which is going to take away from our 
children's Christmas. The children are not picky 
and would just love to have a Christmas. If anyone
can help with anything at all that will be 
GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS to you all and 
Mr. Mealey for supporting our troops. Happy 
Holidays to you all and JESUS IS THE REASON!!!
 
God Bless, 
Crystal Hammond
