Dear Secret Santa,
We would like to introduce you to a family who recently arrived in the country seeking political asylum. They have faced many challenges as they navigate the immigration process, and the difficulty of finding stable work has made their situation even more complex. The family consists of two teenagers and two grandparents, all living together in a small apartment. The grandparents have been providing much-needed support in caring for the family of seven.
Below are the family’s most urgent needs:
Clothing and School Supplies for the Teenagers:
Backpacks for teenagers
Appropriate winter clothing (jackets, hats, gloves)
School supplies (notebooks, pens, etc.)
Shoes for school and everyday wear
Gift cards, which would allow the teenagers to purchase clothing and other personal items they may need
Winter Clothing:
Winter jackets (Size Medium for men)
Men’s shoes (Size 9.5)
Women’s jackets (Size XXL and Size Medium)
Women’s shoes (Size 9)
Toys for the Youngest Child:
Toy cars
Building blocks
Toddler clothing (Size 3T)
Household Items:
Kitchen utensils and basic cooking supplies (they currently have very few items to prepare meals)
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. In particular, the teenagers are in need of backpacks, winter jackets, and gift cards, as they are concerned about facing the harsh winter months ahead. Your generosity will help this family as they adjust to their new life and continue their journey toward stability.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It truly makes a difference to this family during a challenging time.
