As a recipient of The Brighter Christmas Fund, I know that it changes lives. The holidays are a particularly stressful time for the impoverished. As a parent, you want your child(ren) to believe in the magic of Christmas and Santa's visit. There are 364 days in the year in which you and your child(ren) are acutely aware and reminded of your financial disadvantages: from shabby or inadequate clothing and footwear, to the inability to impulsively buy candy bars or small trinkets at the register, rationing hygiene products such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, forgoing cosmetics and professional haircuts, to rarely buying fruits or fresh vegetables-the list goes on. But, on Christmas day, having received a Wal-Mart gift card from The Brighter Christmas Fund and being able to provide a Christmas for your child(ren) that otherwise would have been impossible- there are just no words to express the gratitude.
If you are fortunate enough to contribute to this charitable organization, please know the tremendous, almost miraculous, impact you have on the lives of those who receive this gift. You are the Santa my son believes in. Thank you and Good wishes for this holiday season.
