The Home for Little Wanderers

ELI’S HOLIDAY WISH

Eight-year-old Eli is hoping for a Sonic the Hedgehog gift. One of our youngest residents, Eli left a home of violence for one of our group homes. Eli is small, speedy and a spitfire, and no doubt drawn to the animated character for its lightningfast speed, daredevilish tendencies and need to keep the peace.

Thank you to all who participated in this year’s Big Wishes Gift Card Drive! Your gift and philanthropic support will help fulfill the holiday dreams of children at The Home.

Our program directors now have the wonderful task of using your donations to purchase the items our kids and families have identified as their special, essential wish. Thanks to you, many children who wouldn’t have had anything to unwrap will now experience the joy of receiving a gift that they asked for this year.

$10,000 GIFT CARD CHALLENGE

Thank you to our partners Citizens Bank, The TJX Companies and Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture for generously matching up to $10,000 in gift card donations this year!
