Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Bill Plageman, and I am proud to be a member of a great group of individuals known as the Rebels of Shrewsbury. Each year, we come together with the shared goal of making a positive impact in our community by supporting a family in need during the holiday season. This year, Lunch Break of Red Bank has connected us with a deserving family that could truly benefit from our assistance.

Allow me to provide you with some background about the family we aim to help. A determined and devoted single mother of three - two sons aged 11 and 10, along with an 8-year-old daughter - found herself in dire circumstances earlier this year. Following a devastating fire that occurred in their apartment back in March, she bravely sought emergency housing support from Lunch Break. Despite facing significant challenges, she successfully secured housing for her family in Oceanport this past July.

This remarkable mother is not only hardworking but also an exceptional parent who deserves our support. However, due to the fire incident, they are without essential items such as a Christmas tree adorned with decorations and other basic necessities. Their humble wish lists include gift cards for her and her children and practical household items like a television set and a set of dishes for six.

We invite anyone who feels compelled to lend their support through donations or contributions towards unwrapped items to join forces with the Rebels of Shrewsbury in spreading joy and hope to this deserving family during this festive season.

Your generosity will surely make a significant difference and bring much-needed cheer into their lives. Thank you for your consideration and may you be blessed abundantly for your kindness.

Warm regards,

Bill Plageman
