Dietzel and Dietzel, Inc has made it a point to give back to our local community each year. After our first successful year in business, last December we sponsored a family for the holidays. We made the Christmas of all Christmas' for a single mother raising five children. Tom and Diana, (the owners of Dietzel and Dietzel, Inc), spent hours shopping for toys, bikes, and most important Clothing for this family. We found this family through a local school where Tom's sister teaches at through their social workers. The feedback from the school and indirectly the family through the reaction when the students went back to school were enormous.

This year, Christmas 2008, we went a step further and decided to sponsor two familys. The social worker at the school was able to pair us up. We sponsored two complete familys. One family we had to even get a Christmas tree for. One of our employee's Sandy decided to contribute the tree to that family. This year we were able to continue the tradition and made the Christmas for 6 Children, 3 children in each family. The ages of the children ranged from Age 3 to age 12, with 3 being boys and 3 being girls. We truley hope that they enjoy their Christmas and it is not one they will forget.

With the help of our members and loyal subscribers to our sites, we have been lucky enough to continue this for two years. We hope to grow each year with additional families. Our goal for Christmas 2009 is to adopt at least 10 families and make a Holiday Season for all 10 that they will never forget.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Staff of Dietzel and Dietzel, Inc.

Thank you,

A lovely gesture, truly in the Christmas spirit

I've decided to sponsor an extra person at Kiva for Christmas this year, in order to help a small developing-world business grow.

Merry Christmas to all

Nice I try to give to the paid to people in need threw out the year as they tell me there sad stories just wish they let me give them every time. I do not like giving to charities as most will waste money given to them I prefer giving directly to people involved figure I better judge on if need it or not. Just wish could give more as alot of people could use it this year.
