Made To Serve hasn't added a story.
Twelve years ago, Mary “Christmas” and her sister Regina,
decided to provide a Christmas party for children who are facing
loss or difficulties in their lives. The sisters had themselves
lived through a difficult childhood, and had fond memories of the
few Christmas made brighter through the kindness of strangers. This
was their way to give back to the community and provide those
memories for a new generation of kids facing adversity. To date,
over 1,000 kids from a variety of difficult circumstances like
abuse, abandonment, having lost a parent to homicide and those in
hospice care, have been given a wrapped gift, a visit with Santa, a
dance with real ballerinas, a hug from Frosty the Snowman, and many
other memories.
For the first eleven years, the costs of this party were offset
primarily by three benefactors. Unfortunately, over the past 18
months, all three have passed away. For this reason, we are faced
with conducting our first fundraiser to ensure there will be a party
this year, and into the future.
