My daughters still talk about this. IT changed our family more than those we helped. But we were very blessed. I got to go out with the Aukers and other close APx work friends... and we decided to visit the families as a group. Our families welcomed us, they hugged us, they thanked us, and they gave us more than we could have ever given them. One of the best parts was taking extra time to run over to the book store and get reading books for all the kids in our families. It was an awesome idea from Sachiyo. I was also blessed to get my Techs across the central U.S. involved and seeing pictures from Chicago, Detroit, Houston, and other areas was so humbling to be a part of such a huge effort to bless others with a tiny bit of how we have been blessed so greatly. I also got to go to Dallas and shop with the Dallas Technicians for the families in their area. It was a great chance to unify and enjoy the Holidays on very nice level. The most humbling of all however was the school in SLC that we got to help sponsor and open presents with the Elementary children. I have never had to hold back more tears or moments of breaking down from seeing how excited they were, and seeing how much they needed the shoes, clothes, books, and toys. Yes, they needed those toys... to be a child with a new toy and a smile is one of the greatest things in this world. I will never forget that day. 2008 was the best Christmas Season I have had in life. I am so excited for 2009!!!! My daughters still talk about this. IT changed our family more than those we helped.

I was amazed at how much money, time, and effort went into taking care of these families in need. In addition, I was happy to hear that APX was going to do the sub for Santa project again in 2009. I am truly looking forward to assisting in this wonderful event this year. Sub for Santa was a great learning experience for me and my kids. What a great opportunity to work for a company filled with individuals that want to give time, and money to charities.

Getting the wish card and seeing that all these kids wanted was pencils’ and coloring books just broke my heart. I was overjoyed with the fact that we got to make their wish come true and then some! The best part was actually delivering the gifts to the different families and seeing the joy and hope on their faces. Still to this day it brings tears to my eyes!! I am very proud and grateful to work with such an amazing company!! Helping with the Sub for Santa project was one of the most humbling experiences that I have had.

From the process of buying the gifts, to wrapping, organizing and delivering them it was such a rewarding feeling to be able to contribute to helping others to enjoy their Christmas. When we delivered the presents to those children at the school it was very emotional time for me. I will never EVER forget the little boy who had 2 inch holes in his shoes and was wearing plastic bags over his socks to keep the snow out. He got two brand new pair of Adidas and he was so happy to not have to wear shopping bags on his feet anymore. Wow! The Sub for Santa project was absolutely amazing for me.

We all had a great time working together, getting to know each other better doing something fun with the same goal in our hearts of bringing joy to others. To see the smiles on the families faces and what it meant for them brought a year worth of joy to my heart and I look forward to that feeling. The Sub for Santa program also gives me the opportunity to teach my kids the pleasure of serving others.

It was great to come together with people I work with and work as a team on bringing joy to others. The best part about it was seeing the joy on the families faces when we came to their door. I am so happy to be able to participate in the different service projects we do for others around us. We take protecting families to a whole new level!
