We’re glad we aren’t getting rid of William, yet! ❤😊 Thanks for sharing this special box with us! I would be proud, too, and a little boy will love this box. What a fun play mat and the first responder vehicles!
So glad William won’t be gone yet! Bless your son. My husband is a retired policeman. It’s a tough but rewarding job. Lots of fun in this first responders box! My favorite item is the playmat! I’ll have to look for that! TFS!❤👮🚒👷
What a wonderful first responder box! I, too, am so proud of their bravery and dedication. You two do a fantastic job in your packing of boxes. Keep up the good work. 🙏❤️ 🚑🚒🚔
What great gifts! You two have been an inspiration for me as I see what all can be packed! Keep up the good work and I love how you are so excited over the items you pack!
Sweet box! But I have to share my police officer story with you! I have several family members who were police officers so I do hold them in respect! My two oldest son’s served in the military and while my oldest was over seas, I saw a police officer come in to where we were eating. I thank him for serving and was going to shake his hand. Well he thank me and gave me a hug in appreciation! I posted on fb that I received my first hug from a police officer! My son responded with a comment what about him? Well, I wasn’t thinking police officer, because I saw him as a soldier! But he was an MP! So I was corrected about my first police officer hug! Lol! After all, military police are still policemen! 😁 Again, very nice box that some young boy will certainly enjoy! ❤👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏
Thank you to all the first responders for the sacrifices they make daily! I enjoyed watching you pack this box. It is going to make someone really happy. It was an honor to share prayer with you. You both should be very proud of your son. We need to let them know we are proud of them.
I am a firefighter. Where I live, it’s paid, not volunteer. I went to the police academy right after I got out of the Air Force, and had every intention of working in that field, but, the department wouldn’t let us work 40 hours to qualify for benefits so I decided not to do it. Firefighter training was more difficult than the police academy. I love being a firefighter. I’m hoping one day to be chief. I’m a single father. Their mother walked out in 2017. They took it so much better than I did when she said she was leaving us. I’m good now, but it was devastating to me. But, God is great.
What a great box, and I love those play mats. I imagine they might take up a lot of room in box, or do they fold flat easily? I love your theme and the prayer was wonderful. It might be of interest: that in an interview with Kristy Graham (a daughter-in-law to Franklin), she expressed some of her favorite things after a distribution trip. The back pack was really important as I guess many kids were riding to events on bikes and could get their things home more easily. Then of course later they had a utility back pack for school. That's when I first started buying and including string backpacks myself. Thanks for sharing and all you both do for OCC!😊
Wow i am happy i found you! I am legally blind too and love packing when i can. I do a lot by feel as well rather than just my eyesight so you are not out of the count by any means. Thank you for packing and God bless. Ps. I heard from Emily from Love In A Shoebox here on RUclips a recipient story from one of her boxes that it was given to a blind child who was able to feel and identify the contents in the box.
Great Story!Thank you for such kind, encouraging words! Maybe I’ll adjust to my “new normal” soon! I hope so. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and happy packing!
Proud dad, you think?!?!😂 Just so you all know… he’s MY son too. 😂❤ -Sarah

Funny story! I’m so surprised at how many of us have officers in our family. 👮🏻♂️💙
That’s an awesome box! My son is a captain in the local fire dept in Ohio! I’m so proud of him!
That’s so great! Scary for us moms, but needed in our communities. 🥰
This was awesome and I prayed with you
Thank you so much.

I love the joy on your faces when you show a video. My son is also a police officer and would love your prayers for him.
Thank you! We will be praying for your son 👮🏻♂️💙

The mats fold down to pretty small, similar to a t-shirt. I love hearing that story about the backpacks! Thanks for sharing.
Such a great fun box! I also want to order the play mat for my daycare kids I have all boys (and one little girl) who will love it!!!!❤
I’m sure they will! 🥰
Don’t forget get your prayer card:) 😇🙏🏼💞🎁🎄🗺️
Oh yeah!!
Great box, William! Great tribute to first responders and a super fun box!
Sarah, can you share a link for the car play mat, please?
Here’s a link but it can take 10 to 15 days for delivery…

My husband is a correctional officer in Florida. He is not a police officer.
He’s a very important piece of the law enforcement family. Please thank him for his dedicated service.
That’s a hard job and definitely needed. Thanks to him for all he does.
Would you be willing to provide an Amazon link for the drawstring backpacks you use?
Sure… String backpacks
