-------------JUSTICE FOR MURDERED CHILDREN SEEKING HELP TO MAKE THANKSGIVING BASKETS FOR FAMILIES

As Thanksgiving approaches Justice For Murdered Children begin to think of giving and bringing comfort to families in Los Angeles County that have lost a loved one to murder. In previous years it has been one of our commitments to provide Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets to these families in hope that it will help them get through the day in the mist of their loss. This year with the economy being as bad as it is we fill we have an obligation to help these families at least with Thanksgiving Dinner. Our small gesture is just a small way to let them know that they have not been forgotten.

Justice for Murdered Children needs your help in sponsoring a family for Thanksgiving, each family basket can be purchased for a mere $30.00. JFMC is committed to providing a minimum of 50 Thanksgiving Baskets for families living in Los Angeles County that have lost a loved one to murder. It is only through your generosity and love that we have been able to help families of murdered victims feels the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Any assistances that you can give, such as, $30.00 or more for the purchase of the baskets, turkeys, can goods, and other non-perishable items would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made:
