​Thank you to Our YWCA Holiday Family Giving Program Donors

Due to your generous contributions, we were able to help 216 families – including 414 children and 30 disabled adults!  Once again, the gift card model provided a positive experience for families as this enabled them to purchase the exact gifts that were desired by their children.  Your gift was a blessing to the family you supported.  Our YWCA families appreciate your participation in this program immensely. 
We heard stories from parents who were moved to tears with gratitude for their gifts and overwhelmingly, the families asked that we let their sponsor know how much the gifts meant to them.  One mom, while expressing her appreciation told us, we are always telling our kids ‘no’ to luxuries that we can’t afford, but this program allowed us to say ‘yes’ to their most desired items.  This helped us to feel like a normal family shopping for gifts for our kids.”   

To me, this sums up our program – allowing families in need to forget about their struggles  for a short time and create special holiday memories for their children.” 
Karla Danson, YWCA-Pathways Holiday gift program
