Dear Friends,

The holiday season is almost here, which means it’s time to spread joy and help our community with Holiday Dreams! Please join us in making holiday wishes come true for hundreds of local children in need. Since its inception 19 years ago, Holiday Dreams has supported more than 15,000 children. It's a staggering number and one we never could have achieved without help from all of you. 

We have been working tirelessly behind the scenes with schools and agencies all over Massachusetts and beyond, and we have heard that there is more help needed now than ever. For many families in need, our Holiday Dreams program provides the only chance for a little joy during the holiday season.  As many of you know, through Holiday Dreams, our family sponsors an annual gift drive to support countless school districts throughout Massachusetts, youth and family services throughout the state, JFS MetroWest, and the Greater Hartford, Connecticut area. Last year our program sponsored more than 1,300 children.

Getting involved is easy. Simply let us know how many children you’d like to sponsor. (We have families with between 1-10 children in them.) We will then send you the children’s wish lists.  After that, you can either shop for the kids yourself or donate money, and our shoppers will do it for you.  We very much appreciate people shopping for the kids they sponsor, but we also are incredibly grateful for monetary donations to help us take care of every child. Please click holidaydream foundation.com to find out more information about all of our programs and to donate or sponsor a child, or you can respond to this email as well. 

Shopping for a child or children in need truly is one of the most rewarding experiences ever! And once you've bought the gifts, you don't even have to wrap them. The parents of the kids we’re sponsoring actually wrap the presents, as this gives them a chance to see what their children are receiving. Please note: We need to collect everything by December 13th.  

 Holiday Dreams is a registered 501c3 charitable organization, so everything you donate is completely tax deductible. It's a real win/win: You get the incredible feeling of making a child's holiday wishes come true and the benefit of a tax deduction! 

We know that participating in Holiday Dreams will be an incredibly joyful and fulfilling experience. You are making a real difference!  We hope that being a part of our program brings the best of the holidays to you and your family during this special time of year. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at (781) 201-9004 with any questions.

Happy Holidays, Good Health and Peace,

Leslie, Jonathan and Family
