Story

Hello Everyone I hope this message finds you well! 2020 has been a tough year for all of us and as we come to the close of it I wanted to try something new this year. I have contacted the wonderful workers at Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital in efforts to help fundraise! Growing up I was always fortunate enough to have Christmas gifts under the tree and it was always my favorite holiday. Because of Covid-19 there are many families that will not be able to afford gifts for their children this year. This is an extremely important cause for me because I truly believe that every child should have Christmas gifts each and every year. Many of these children will be staying spending the holiday in the hospital and oftentimes will not receive presents. The children are already dealing with all of their treatments and the outbreak of Covid-19. With so much going on in their young lives the last thing they need to worry about is not getting a present from Santa this year. I have posted the link to my fundraiser in my bio. I have set the goal for 1,650 dollars. I know that it is a hard time to be asking for donations during covid but this is such an important cause for me and even if you could donate $1 it will go to making a childs day so special. Thank you in advance and contact me with any questions. Merry Christmas.
