We were overjoyed by your generosity again this year with the Christmas Event and thankful to each and every individual, family, congregation, and business that helped fulfill the children's wishes by participating in our annual Giving Tree and toy/gift drives. This help is an absolute blessing and you helped bring many smiles this year! If you wonder how it all comes together, see the Christmas video.

Bre'Niylah needs a sponsor - can you sponsor this precious child before she turns 10 next month? A sponsorship costs $35/month (that is only $1.15/day). You will receive any of the letters that she sends us and ensure that she receives all her immediate needs. For more information and FAQs about sponsoring a child or to sponsor Bre, click on the Sponsor a Child button.
