I received message from a LinkedIn connection In February.
James Maloney is MA National Guardsman attached to a Special Forces unit in Afghanistan. There is an Orphanage near him. He is asking for help to supply the children with much needed basic item, clothes,school supplies, and some sporting equipment and maybe some toys to bring a little enjoyment in these kids lives.
Joanne M. Towner has been a great Patriotic supporter She has sent boxes of basic needs. She has a son who a “tanker’ in The US ARMY. Barb Gabri from SPHR, has also sent boxes and gotten some local Patriotic organizations invovled in Maine This Patriotic Mom has a son in the Marines and a son in law who is a Marine.
Major Jim can use more support. Please send what you can. Every little bit helps.
Here is a copy of James Maloney’s request: Date: 2/11/2011 Subject: Aghani Orphanage
There is an Orphanage near my base. In the past another soldier had people send him stuff for the orphanage. He has gone home. This is something I would like to continue.
If you can send cloths or school supplies for kids 2-12,please send them to me. Gently used sporting equipment would be appreciated as well.
Thanks James
