The holidays were much brighter for over 1,200 children, thanks to Child Advocates' 2021 Santa's Wish List program.
The Santa's Wish List program provides Christmas gifts for children served by Child Advocates every year. Through our Santa's Wish List program, companies, individuals, and volunteers help make the holidays brighter for our children by fulfilling their wishes. Gifts arrived at Santa's warehouse, where volunteers helped sort and wrap gifts to be ready for our advocates to deliver to our kids.
Here are a few examples of the joy your generous donations brought to our children this holiday season:
Children like Jeremiah, whom doctors did not think he would survive after being born, was extra excited for the new walker that he got from Santa to help him build his leg muscles and begin walking.
Also on the nice list, Brandon and Maurice were very excited to receive their number one wish – a bike! They both have been riding their bikes for hours since Christmas day.
Undertaking a program like this would not be possible without the support and donations from so many. "It truly takes a village. This program would not be possible without the help of generous sponsors, donors and toy drive organizers," said Kym Cabaniss, who's been an advocate for five years.
