The
staff at Jackson-Feild Homes wishes to thank the churches, ECW's,
church groups and parishioners for sponsoring the Christmas presents of
their residents.
For
many of these children it is the first real Christmas that they have
ever experienced. They will cherish it for a lifetime. Jackson-Feild
serves boys and girls who suffer from severe emotional disorder. What
should be a very joyous time is often painful because it brings back
memories of a childhood that they seek to repress. They are dumbstruck
that people, who they have never met or known, will open their hearts by
giving them presents when the persons who should love them the most
have not. It is tangible proof that they are valued and loved and that
others care for them.
Every
child was sponsored and there were some funds left over which will be
use to purchase items for the cottages such as games, sporting equipment
and recreational items.
