Question: Would you be able to please post some pics of the kids with the stickers so our kids can see their happy faces? Maybe have the missionaries take pics of the kids receiving them? If it isn't possible, I understand but my kids are so excited about this project!

YES!  We will capture as many happy recipients as we possibly can.  We are so appreciative of all the support this project is receiving so far.  I will continue to post daily.

Are you still thinking about The Sticker Project??

What’s this all about????  Click HERE.

If you’re participating, THANK YOU a hundred times!  Your heart is big, and your contribution will make a BIG difference, I promise. 

If you’re still deciding, please take a look at a few of the children that you could give Christmas to through a simple envelope of stickers.

Julian, age 8

This boy has one of the most adorable smiles I’ve ever seen.

Ayana, age 11

I know I said that we’re aiming for kids ages 10 & under, but this girl is incredible; we had to put her on the list.  To say that she LOVES stickers would be an understatement.  She actually owns a few sheets of ‘Hello Kitty’ stickers that have never been opened because they are so valuable to her. 

By the way, these precious kids know NOTHING about The Sticker Project.  I just happened to find out about her humble little sticker collection on Saturday.

Thomas, age 3

This little guy melts my heart.  I haven’t been able to get a smile out of him yet, but his green plastic hat makes him happy, and he wears it everyday.

I’m headed out with the family today to take more photos – it should be an adventure. 

If you live overseas and you’re worried about getting the stickers to us on time, you may send them to us directly:

Jared & Sharee Wolfley

Belgrano 1060, Piso 2A

2600 Venado Tuerto, Santa Fe, Argentina

Please remember to send all stickers out on or before December 1st

If you’d like to personalize your contribution, please don’t hesitate to include the name of the child that you wish to give the stickers to.

You will make moms like Dora very happy.

The Sticker Project

A few years ago, my little family started a tradition. 

Every Christmas Eve, we do a service project.  Afterwards, we come home to a ‘humble feast’ (a beautiful idea that an old visiting teaching companion of mine gave me).

This tradition is something we look forward to.  It brings the true spirit of Christmas into our hearts, and more than anything else, it teaches my children how to serve. 

If I have taught my children to serve, I have taught them happiness.

This year we live in Argentina.  We have an opportunity to help in a big way.  We have a goal to take a Christmas gift to 50 children (ages 10 & under) that will most likely not get anything otherwise.

I have teamed up with a few of Santa’s elves (disguised as LDS missionaries).  Our list is climbing.  Do you want to help us??  You would?!!  Okay, here’s the plan.

We are trying to put together 50 paper bags  - each filled with one mandarin orange and STICKERS!  Stickers are prized possessions here in these parts of Argentina – difficult to find and very expensive.

So will you please send me a few sheets of stickers?  I can get them in a few weeks if you follow these three simple steps.

1.  Get an envelope.  (No larger than a standard 4  1/8”  X 9  1/2”.  You could also use a standard greeting card size envelope.)

2.  Put stickers in it, preferably clean sticker sheets that haven’t been used.  (Keep it simple.  No more than one stamp’s worth.)

3.  Send it to me (the address below) on or before December 1st.

Jared & Sharee Wolfley

139 E. South Temple, Suite 110

Salt Lake City, UT 84111

I know it’s a Utah address, but don’t worry.  All of our standard mail is sent to this address and then forwarded (FedEx) to our Argentina address.  Anything other than standard envelopes will not make it to us, but thank you, thank you anyway if you’re thinking bigger than this.

Can you feel that little tinge in your heart?  I will be posting pictures each day of more children that need Christmas.  Please help us!  You won’t regret it.

Love, Sharee
