Christmas Crazy!
It has been at least three minutes since I last mentioned it, so let me just do that. CHRISTMAS CRAZY. It's that thing where we all work together to create a little (lot) of magic for children who are receiving services from Center for Victims. What kind of services, you ask? Center for Victims does a ton of things, including advocacy, transitional and emergency shelter, counseling services, educational programs ... the list goes on and on.
The important thing is that Center for Victims is there for children who have seen or felt violence. They're the ones who help kids pick up the pieces and move on. While they provide services to people of all ages, over 30% of their clients are 18 or younger. Over half of those kids are 11 or younger.
11 or younger. That's too young to have stared violence in the eyes. Way too young. And yet.
So! If you've got $5 to spare, that's a great start to helping throw a little positivity into the world. If you've got more than $5, that's great too! Every little bit helps and it genuinely all comes together in a way that makes a huge difference.
You can help by grabbing something from the Amazon Wishlist. Here's the link. You can also help by throwing a few dollars into the pot. I'll be out turning that money into magic in the next two weeks. That's how I make sure we haven't left any kids underserved, regardless of age or preferences. Just click the reindeer and I'll match things up.
Thanks for all you do to make this thing work. It's truly my most favorite internet thing of all time, and I'm considering cat memes when I say that. Christmas Crazy is even better than cat memes.
By the way, we're currently at $3728. WOOOOO! But also, we have work to do. Let's go!
