Welcome to the Making it Merry Drive information page! Nominations are closed and we have selected two Minnesota families to sponsor for the 2020 holiday season. Please read below to learn more about the 2 sponsorships and what items we still need donated. Please send us an email momsdishmn@gmail.com for donation site addresses! We appreciate your generosity.
Sponsorship #1
This man was # 1 in the state of Minnesota as a wrestler and was offered full college scholarships. However, he chose to become a marine. As a recipient of a purple heart, and a medal for saving lives, he took a bomb to his head at the age of 19. This Minnesotan is now 35 and lives in the Twin Cities metro area. The right side of his body does not work and he has trouble speaking and understanding words at times. He also lost his father 2 years ago, who lived next door, and helped him with the day to day stuff. He could be resentful and bitter, but he has a joy for life like no one else. Let’s give back to someone who gave us so much.
Items you can donate to help make the holidays more joyous!
- Gift cards for restaurants, grocery stores, anywhere that might be fun. (Kyle can not drive so gas is not needed)
- New Release Blu-Ray DVDs
- Green Bay Packer items
Sponsorship #2
Sponsorship # 2 is a grandmother who also lives in the Twin Cities metro area. She was granted custody of her grandchildren, two girls and two boys, eight years ago and it’s been a struggle for her ever since. Since March, due to the pandemic, she hasn’t been able to work. She is just now getting back to work, but doesn’t have the hours that she used to have. This women always tries to provide the best she can for her grandchildren, but has already been prepping them for few Christmas gifts this year due to her limited hours and income. Let’s help surprise this family and make sure the grandchildren can have a memorable holiday season!
