Hey neighbors… I’m reaching out with a big ask and an even bigger hope.
Our Mavericks Angel Tree now has 44 families in need, many with 2–6 children each. That means dozens of little ones wishing for simple things — warm clothes, shoes, a small gift to feel special this Christmas.
My hopes is that every child will have at least one thing from our tree. If you can give even a little, you’ll make a huge difference for a child right here in our community. Choose to sponsor a child or choose to donate to help us fulfill at the end- anything helps!
Please message me here or email [email protected] if you’re able to help.
Thank you for being a neighborhood that shows up with love.
Together, we can bring hope and joy to these families this holiday season.
