When Maria and her two children arrived at our housing a few years ago, they had almost nothing. Maria was struggling with her mental health, and they were living out of their car during the freezing winter. Christmas, a time meant for joy and celebration, felt like a distant dream.

Thanks to generous donors like you, Maria’s family didn’t just receive gifts—they experienced hope. Warm winter coats, a home-cooked holiday meal, and a few small but meaningful presents brought tears to Maria’s eyes.

This year, Maria has a stable home and is rebuilding her life with the support provided by Good Shepherd. But there are still many families like hers who need your help to feel the magic of the season.
