Romania street children.]
21-Year-old Gladewater resident Jacob Shelley plans to take 500 backpacks next June to children who live in the streets of Romania. The Pine Tree Junior High PALS group is helping to sponsor Shelley’s noble cause. Several girls even donated their collections of stuffed animals. PALS (Peer Assistance and Leadership) is a service organization with teacher Karen Darby as its sponsor.
Shelley is being sponsored by the Rock Hill Christian Fellowship in White Oak and needs more sponsors for his backpack project. He founded “Packs of Love Outreach” and will need about $8,000 to buy blankets, gloves, socks, hats, stuffed animals, toiletry items, etc., for the backpacks. He plans to work with the Mission to Serve ministry as he distributes the backpacks in several cities of Romania. Shelley will pay his own travel expenses but needs more backpack item donations. He currently attends Kilgore College and can be reached at 903-736-6446.
