Makenzie's Helping Hands

Hi Friends!

i had a father of 3 reach out to me needing help to provide Christmas for his sons.
His sons are 7, 14 and 16 years old.
Recently they lost their mother to illness and have had a hard time.
We were able to provide a Christmas tree with ornaments and some food.

Could you help me give this family a good Christmas? Below is their wish list.

Thank you!

EASY MEAL!!!

Ingredients
frozen garlic toast
pizza sauce

Instructions
Bake the garlic toast according to the package directions, but pull it out of the oven about 2 minutes before it's finished.
Top the almost-done garlic toast with pizza sauce, cheese and the toppings of your choice (use the sauce sparingly or the middle can get soggy).
Place back in the oven on the broil setting for 2-4 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.
