Many survivors lack the resources to give their children a traditional Christmas. Instead of looking forward to seeing their kids open presents, they worry about whether or not their abuser will find them, if they'll be accepted into an apartment, how much money they have for gas, or if they can afford to pay for car repairs.
While rebuilding their lives will take time, we can at least give survivors and their families a break from worry this Christmas. With your help, we can give them the gift of a very Merry Christmas. We hope to bring many smiles to the faces of those who need it the most during this holiday season and with your time, generosity, and collaboration, we can make this holiday season one to remember!

Things to Keep in Mind:
- You will receive your family’s wishlist by early November, or within one weeks of completing the online form.
