This holiday season, my daughter is hoping to bring joy and relief to classmates at her high school who may be experiencing financial hardship. She sees students every day who quietly struggle… whether it’s not having warm clothing, consistent necessities, or the ability to experience a real Christmas.

To make a difference, we are raising funds to sponsor 3–5 less-fortunate high school students and provide each of them with a customized Christmas gift bundle filled with both essentials, food and small gifts chosen just for them. We will distribute the gifts outside of school and instruction time, and at a location away from the school as well. We want to be able to help without making a scent or pointing out disparities.

Who This Fundraiser Supports:

High school students at her school who have been identified as experiencing financial hardship or unstable home circumstances.

How the Funds Will Be Used:

Every dollar raised will go directly toward creating gift bundles that may include:

• Essential items: hygiene products, deodorant, lotion, soap, shampoo/conditioner

• Warm winter items: coats, hoodies, gloves, hats, scarves, socks

• Clothing basics: shirts, joggers, leggings, undergarments

• School supplies: notebooks, pens, binders, backpacks

• A personal gift: something chosen based on each student’s interests or needs

• Gift bags, wrapping materials, and packaging

Transparency & Distribution:

I will withdraw the funds directly, purchase the items, and my daughter will personally deliver the wrapped gift bundles to each selected student before Christmas break. We will provide updates, photos of the purchased items, and proof of distribution so donors can see exactly how their contributions were used.

Why This Matters:

For some students, school is the only stable part of their day. Your generosity will remind them that they are seen, supported, and deserving of kindness, especially during the holidays. Even a small donation helps us create a moment of joy for a student who may be going through more than they share.

Thank you for helping us spread joy, compassion, and hope this Christmas. ❤️✨
