Colombian Christmas for Kids and Families

This Christmas, we'll be making sure that 1,500 children have a gift to open and a giving a proper meal to 400 families

Will you help us?

For more than 10 years, Monica, Carlos and their family have hosted special Christmas events for families in Santa Marta, Colombia that are in need. Monica is a teacher and organizes a yearly series of holiday events. She has reached thousands of children and families, making sure that they have a place to celebrate Christmas with gifts and food.

For many children, it is the only Christmas present that they will receive.

Any amount, big or small, can make a difference:

$5 will buy a gift for a child between 1 and 14 years old -- like a soccer ball, a stuffed animal or doll. This year there are 32 babies under 1 years old!

$10 will buy a new outfit with shoes for a girl or boy.

$15 will provide a meal for a family with seafood, pasta, sauce, cookies and coffee, as well as oil and sugar.

$30 will provide a meal and gifts for a family of five.

This year there are already 400 families signed up hoping for Christmas meals, more than ever before. We are counting on your support to buy gifts for the children and a dinner for all of the families in need.

Thank you in advance! We'll be posting regular updates to let you know how the Christmas preparations are going.

We wish you a very happy holiday season, however you'll be celebrating!
