On behalf of the Guardian ad Litem Program and Guardians for New Futures, we want to thank everyone who sponsored a child during the holidays. The generous support of individuals within our community, local businesses, and community groups was awesome. Thanks to your generosity and caring we were able to provide gifts to over 700 neglected, abused and abandoned children this Christmas. We can assure you that all the children were surprised and thrilled with their gifts. Stories relayed from the 'Guardians' included mentions of huge smiles, tears, hugs, and even missing the school bus in the excitement.

We hope that you realize what an incredible gift you provided these children. The gift of knowing that someone cares for them is a gift they will long remember. Your act of kindness has definitely made a difference in their lives!
