Brief instructions for participating in the Ruelle Family Secret Santa Program.

1. Ruelle Family
Secret Santa Project
December 2012

2. Ruelle Family
Secret Santa Project
What IS it?
A way to make a family’s holidays easier, brighter, and
less chaotic. With ALL the doctor appointments
and family and friend visits and hospital stays
and lab work etc., we know that the Ruelles have
even LESS time to shop this year than they would
have otherwise, so let’s help them out and get it
done for them!

Secret Santa Project
How Does it Work?
We’ve set up a public Amazon wish list for the Ruelle
family: http://amzn.com/w/HQGNWFY3YL2Y
If enough volunteers take care of just one gift for one
of the family members, we can get the entire Ruelle
family Christmas shopping taken care of for them –
what a wonderful gift this holiday season: time for
Pascal, Summar, Jayden and Sapphire to spend
together and not stress about shopping, wrapping, etc.

4. Ruelle Family
Secret Santa Project
The wishlist is just a starting point and you are
welcome to purchase items from other
websites/vendors.
Gifts are automatically set up to be received by dear
friends Dan & Rosa, who will coordinate a local
wrapping party and gift delivery before Christmas.

5. Other Holiday Gift Ideas
Items the Ruelles can never have too much of:
•Gas gift cards (gas stations near their home:
Chevron, AMPM, Shell, 76)
•Credit Card Gift Cards
•Grocery Gift Cards (Grocery stores near their
home: WinCo, Safeway, Target, Costco)
•Grocery delivery services
•Monetary donations for medical bills and living
expenses – donate via PayPal
•Monetary donations for house cleaning (approx.
cost is $100 for a bi-weekly cleaning)

6. Paying It Forward
What happens if all of you are so generous that
Sapphire and Jayden end up with a plethora of toys?
The Ruelles will donate them to Sapphire’s hospital,
Randall Children's Hospital At Legacy Emanuel to
other children and families in need.
You have all been so very kind in your support and
generous donations to the Ruelles, they truly DO want
to Pay It Forward.
