Dear community,

The holidays are just around the corner—a time filled with warmth, family, and togetherness. But for many of our foster youth students, this season doesn’t come with the same comforts. Instead of going home to family, many of them will be staying on campus, relying on the connections they've built within our community.

This year, we're on a mission to make their holidays bright! Our incredible students are not just scholars; they’re mentors, leaders, siblings, and even parents. We’ve asked them to share their holiday wishes, and now we’re reaching out to our wider community to help make those wishes come true.

We invite you to join in by picking a gift from our Amazon Holiday Wish List<https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32V8PFSC90PFA?ref_=wl_share>. It’s as simple as choosing an item you’d like to send—it’ll be shipped directly to us, and we’ll take care of the wrapping and delivery. And if you’d like, you can even add a personal touch with a note to let the student know you’re thinking of them. Or, if you prefer, remain anonymous; either way, your kindness will make a lasting impact.

Help us show our foster youth that they have a whole community standing behind them this holiday season! To make sure gifts arrive in time, please select your item(s) by December 9th. Check out the attached flier for details, and feel free to share it with friends, family, or colleagues who might want to join in spreading the joy.

Thank you for bringing light and connection to these deserving students. We couldn’t do this without you!
