The Gifting Tree

I started this organization last year and was able to bless about 30 families with trees and accessories. The stories these families shared and the hardships they’ve gone through is nothing I could ever imagine. A simple blessing during the holidays really can make a big difference for someone’s life during this time of the year.

This year, I am doing something different as I think I will be doing every year. I am collecting funds to purchase leggings, pajama pants, stuffed animals and puzzles for the children at Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, TX. My goal is 100 of each to bless 100 kids. Below is my story from the very beginning. I am running the same GoFundMe because the account is already set up and linked to everything needed. If you’d like to purchase directly you can shop my link (https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/10K6NXJZ7FBJ4) but all funds donated will go to purchasing the fun Lularoe leggings for kids which are $12-15 depending on the size.

Sometimes we can forget how fortunate we are. And sometimes we can forget that life really is all about the little things, and that small gestures can go a long way. One of my favorite holiday memories is sitting around the living room, with my family, watching the twinkling lights flicker and glitter and dance across our Christmas tree.
This season, I wanted to remember how fortunate I am, and I wanted to share these beautiful holiday sentiments with families in need. I started talking with my mom, tossing around ideas about donating food or finding a way to make a small gesture go a long way. My mom works at a school, and was lamenting that a lot of her students can’t afford outfits for trick-or-treating, and have never had a Christmas tree in their home. I was stunned; These are such small things that myself, and many others, have always taken for granted. The lights and the tree make coming home so special and cozy! And everyone deserves to feel special and cozy!
I started poking around and doing research, and noted that the average cost of a 6.5 foot pre-lit tree, with a skirt and ornaments, (because decorating the tree is the happiest way to start the season!) runs around $80.
I’ve created an organization this season called The Gifting Tree. My goal is to raise enough money to purchase trees and ornaments for a minimum of ten families. And it seems to me that if I have a chance to spread some happiness to those that need it, why not? If you’re in a place in life where you are able to donate, please help me spread some happiness. If you cannot donate, my heart would be just as full if you could please share this page. I will be using any funds donated towards trees and accessories for as many families as possible.
