Our Wishlist


During our support-raising trip in May, we had a number of supporters recommend that we do a Wishlist of things we need. This way, people that are not able to support us financially could still contribute to our ministry—possibly with things they already have in their own home! It took more months to put together than we anticipated, but without further ado, here is our Wishlist!

For our ministry...

These items will help us keep the ministry running efficiently and without added cost to our monthly budget.

  • Button-down shirts for Elliott (size Medium)

  • Nice pants for Elliott (size 32/32)

  • Stamps (for mailing our newsletters and thank-you cards)

  • Cards and stationary

  • Business-sized envelopes (for mailing our newsletters)

  • Gift cards to coffee shops (so we can take our students out more frequently!)

  • Gift cards to book stores (so we can get books for our students)

o We particularly like to shop at Hearts and Minds Bookstores, since the owner is a partner of the CCO. http://heartsandmindsbooks.com/

  • Board games (so we can have more game nights with our students)

  • Printer paper (for our newsletters)

  • Gas cards (for all that driving back-and-forth between home, school, and church that we do nearly every day, as well as for support-raising trips)

More personal...

Having these items will help us cut down on added expenses.

  • Financial advising

  • Baby stuff (for our expected arrival in June!)

  • Sneakers for Elliott (size 11)

  • Food items (canned vegetables, anything gluten- and corn-free for Rachel, chicken broth, spices, etc.)

  • Soap, dish detergent, paper towels, etc.

Please contact us with any questions or clarifications.

Elliott can be reached at 215-756-3155 and elliottsimko@gmail.com.

Rachel can be reached at 215-756-3020 and chellysimko@gmail.com.
