<br />
Cirra&#39;s Cloud is a Non Profit Organization dedicated to assisting the family members of deployed soldiers in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place>! This year, our organization has assisted 183 family members by bringing them information and assisting them with personal questions and issues.&nbsp; We have brought in over 25 sponsors and received donations&nbsp;in the form of gifts and <o:p></o:p>monetary amounts in excess of $104,000.&nbsp;2010 promises to be a great year for our organization and for the families that we assist.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
<br />
While we have much to celebrate at Cirra&#39;s Cloud, the statistics are staggering and we need your help!&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		Over&nbsp;1000 gifts will need to be sent out for birthdays, anniversaries, mother&#39;s day and father&#39;s day throughout 2010.<o:p></o:p></li>
	<li>
		Many of our family members will spend Valentine&#39;s Day alone this next year.&nbsp; We are working on obtaining community support to ensure that they get a night out by having a paid dinner and gifts on this holiday that is meant for couples to be together.&nbsp; With their soldier in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>, we want to ensure that it is a loving and supportive holiday for them.<o:p></o:p></li>
	<li>
		Many family members have no one to turn to during this deployment experience that understands the situation they are in. Cirra&#39;s Cloud is planning to hold&nbsp;four individual Spa treatment days in each&nbsp;area of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place> that our families live.&nbsp; This will be a day of pampering and a chance for the family member to interact and meet others who are in the same situation.&nbsp; Our goal is to <o:p></o:p>raise enough money to do four hours in each&nbsp;Spa location and provide lunch&nbsp;for each person that attends.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></li>
	<li>
		On average, we will spend $225,000&nbsp;a year while these families&nbsp;are in our care, yet the ability to change the lives of these families is priceless.<o:p></o:p></li>
