TestimonialsFrom Jennifer, A recipient of Clothing and Layettes: November 29, 2012 I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the bag of clothes, toiletries, and beautiful handmade blankets that were provided by you through the Summit County Children's Services. The items were very useful on that first stressful day and the handmade blankets really touched my heart From Mary, A Recipient of Layettes: November 17, 2012Near the end of our Christmas Boutique, a woman named Mary approached a Christ Child Board Member and shared the following story: Thirty years ago I was an unwed, homeless mother who had just given birth to twin daughters, and I was presented with two layettes from the Christ Child Society of Akron. I want to thank you and share with you how much that small gift affected my life and the lives of my daughters. Two years after the girls were born, I married, and in the years following, became a Christian, went back to school and became a registered nurse. My two girls are now successful young women. I am forever grateful to the Christ Child Society and would like you to have this check for $200 - $100 for each of my daughters. Added by the CCS Board member: A heartwarming story for all of us. May we never forget that we are the hands and feet of Christ in a sometimes difficult world. It is these small acts of kindness that have lasting effects. Yours in Christ's Love, Rita B.
