When Julianah and her family immigrated from Nigeria to Toronto, they had very little other than the clothes on their backs.
Surviving day to day was already a tremendous struggle.
Thanks to your generosity, Julianah and her kids received the food and essentials they desperately needed at our O’Connor Family Centre.
But giving her kids a Christmas seemed impossible.
Then she came to our Christmas Store, and her face lit up when she realized she could bring Christmas to her family!
Thank you for being a GIFT to Julianah and her children!
Putting gifts under the Christmas tree can be difficult for families experiencing homelessness throughout the GTA. That’s why we started our FREE Christmas Store… that brings so much JOY into so many lives!
Your support helps stock our shelves with games, books, and other items for boys and girls who might not have received a gift otherwise.
Parents can come and shop for their children—picking age-appropriate toys, games, and more—to ensure their little ones experience the magic and miracle of the Christmas season!
Your gift reaches over 2,600 families during the Christmas season with groceries, warm clothing, and Christmas gifts for children.
Because of you, over 1,400 children and teens will open presents on Christmas morning!
Julianah’s hope was restored when she was able to choose gifts for her kids, giving them the Christmas they deserve!
There’s so much hope in this kind of empowerment. And it makes Christmas morning—and the entire Christmas season—an experience Julianah and her children will never forget.
Thank you for helping to make Christmas possible for struggling families across the GTA!
