“………it has been a chaotic and unfortunately stressful time for our clients.
However, I am happy to share that the Flames of Giving donations created
a very bright spot in the lives of our clients this holiday season. From the
generous food and gift cards to the clothes and toys, socks and beautiful hats
and gloves, the women were so excited to see what they would be giving to their
children as well as knowing that they would have some cushion around the
holidays for buying food that they could enjoy with their family and not just
the very bare essentials.
“……. it is still such an incredible moment to be part of the magic your organization and donors create for our clients—for this forgotten community and for these individuals to feel cared for and be given the opportunity to participate in the holiday season with their families.
”Thank you again for everything! “ —Lauryn Tuchman, Clinical Director, The Bridge
