Sacramento Martial Arts and Karate
Hello, everyone! This year, Zen Martial Arts and our dojo family are adopting a family through St. John’s Program for Real Change.
The family we are sponsoring is a family of three — the mom, Crystal, and two boys named Joey and Maiden. They are 6 and 5, respectively.
Joey wears a size 6/7. His favorite color is blue, he loves The Avengers, and he is hoping for a scooter to ride.
Maiden also wears a size 6/7. His favorite color is black, and he is into Spiderman. He would also like a scooter.
Crystal didn’t ask for anything for herself, but the grandma, who submitted the application, thought she might like something like body wash, perfume, or hair products.
St. John’s is asking that we limit gifts to fewer than five per person, (I’m choosing to read it as five or fewer) and I think we can easily meet that goal.
I think members of the dojo could choose to purchase and donate a gift (Spiderman pajamas? A scooter?) or donate money, with which one of us could buy gifts. If we have the good fortune to collect more than we need for this family, there are options for donating gifts or money directly to St. Johns or adopting another family.
Thank you in advance for helping give Joey and Maiden a Christmas with gifts under the tree.

Great, thanks Morgan!
I bought Spiderman pj's in a 6/7. I will bring them to the dojo on Wednesday.

Not to my knowledge, Lori. Shop away!
We'd like to donate too. Has anything been bought yet? I can start shopping later this week...
Thanks Kara!
Thanks, Kerry! They're asking for the gifts to be dropped off by the 19th, so yes, it would probably help if monetary gifts came in by the 12th, to give me a week to purchase.
Hi Kara,
What is the deadline to donate items? Will cash be due sooner so you'd (or someone else would) have time to shop? Where should we leave our donations?
Thank you for organizing,
Kerry Finley (Kyle's mom in juniors)
Thank you Kara for getting the ball rolling on this project!
