Who are we?
I come from a large, very loving family. My parents worked hard to make sure we had the basic necessities of life. They instilled in us old-fashioned family values that helped shape the person I am today. However, my parents did this on a meager income and, as a family we went through some tough times. I remember a time when I was a young girl when my parents did not have enough money to buy even one Christmas present for their seven children. My Grandmother gave my Mother $35 (yes, that’s $5 for each child) to go out and buy one small gift for each of us. I vowed at that time that if I was ever in a better position to help parents in need with gifts for their children at Christmas, I would. I’m in that position now and I hope that if you’ve come to our website, you are in that position also. With your help I think we can make a difference in many people’s lives this Christmas. My guarantee to you is that your participation will gain you the most meaningful holiday season of your life.

My Mother has always made Christmas a very special time of year for me. It is this joy that I want to bring to the lives of those who don’t always experience joy in their lives. The happiness I see on the faces of the individuals receiving gifts at Christmas time is what makes my holiday season so special. I want to give our recipients one special day where the only thing they think about opening presents in front of a tree and having dinner together as a family. It is my hope that you will join me and my mother this holiday season to bring joy, and even a single day of happiness to the lives of people working their way through very difficult situations. It is also my hope for you to experience the Gift I have received every year by giving your heart and warmth to some very special individuals.
