For many of the children at Jackson-Feild Homes, the Christmas season
is a very difficult and painful time of year. They don't have the happy
memories of feasts, or gifts, or family gatherings. For them, the entire
holiday season is little more than a 6-week period just like any other
time of the year.
At Jackson-Feild, the staff is working to ensure that
the boys and girls will remember this Christmas for a lifetime, and you
are invited to help by participating in the Sponsor-a-Child for
Christmas program. You can sponsor a child's entire Christmas list, or
you can purchase only one or two items from it. You can send the funds
and let the JFH staff do the shopping, you can go shopping yourself and
deliver the gifts - unwrapped - no later than Monday, December 15.
The
holidays are right around the corner, so please act quickly to help the
folks at Jackson-Feild bring happiness to the boys and girls in their
care. You would be surprised at the joy that comes in knowing you shared
the true meaning and blessings of Christmas with a child you don't
know... a child who, for the first time in his or her life, will finally
feel the love of a very special Christmas.
The
youngsters are reminded that Christmas isn't just about toys and gifts.
It is a special holiday and a time to be joyful and appreciative.
If you would like to help, please contact Ann Chaffins at achaffins@jacksonfeild.org or call her at 804-354-2929.
