of $3,580 gathered through the Christmas Alternatives initiative for children of Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services residing at the Farmington Treatment Center.
Christmas can be a very difficult time of year for our kids. For some, they feel sad because they are not able to see family. For others, it serves as a reminder that their families have inflicted pain and humiliation upon them. To help make their Christmas extra nice this year, it was decided to use your donation to purchase a new shirt or blouse for each child and take them all out to dinner. It was a festive occasion and everyone enjoyed having this special time together. As you know, our job is not an easy one. When young hearts have been torn by broken dreams and disillusionment, it takes dedication and understanding to warm them to the reality that there are good people, like the members of St. Mark, who truly do care about them.
Together you helped to put smiles on these kids’ faces, and that’s not an easy thing to do. Thank you for helping to make this a memorable Christmas for our children. Knowing that you all made such an effort for them will go a long way in teaching them they are worthy of kindness.
Blessings, Debra Paulus, Senior Development Officer
