 Supporting Our Troops and 

Showing Our Love for the Military 

 

Challa Law continues to send a box every month to our Military men and women who are overseas. If you would like to be a part of our continuing effort, you can donate and we will purchase the items to send them on your behalf, along with hand written notes to our troops.

 

You can send a check to Challa Law Office with AnySoldier.com  in the memo line, or you can donate via PayPal at www.challalaw.com  

 

The soldiers typically ask for basic items such as socks, snack foods, and laundry detergent.  For a more comprehensive list of necessary items, more information can be found on the Challa Law Facebook Page.  

  


Here is what a soldier recently had to say upon receiving our most recent package:

 

 

Excerpt from August 2013 Letter from Lt. H. Benedict

 

-          Thank you for the Morale Booster! Our soldier's faces lit up as I started laying out all the goodies from your care package. As soon as I announced the box, some soldiers made a beeline for it to see what was up for grabs! Two of my younger soldiers (21 and 20) have immediately started tossing around the mini footballs...a few others went straight for the magazines...  I try to think of the small things that will keep them going and help them remain positive, but as I get to know a number of them, many join the Army to get away from a rough upbringing and a number of them will not receive mail or packages at all from loved ones throughout this deployment. Thank you for making a difference --- my soldier, Donovan, in particular will remember your kindness... P.S. That candy kept most of our staff alert and awake for one of our late night planning sessions! Perfect timing!

 

 Challa Law is doing good things with your support. 

Please help this effort continue to grow.
