Holiday Angels
September 2, 2013 @ 8:00 am - December 12, 2013 @ 5:00 pm
Children do not have to be infected with HIV or have AIDS to be affected by the disease. Every year, children of parents living with HIV/AIDS do not have a happy holiday season due to the financial burden that often goes with their family member’s struggle to survive.
Many difficulties compound the financial burdens of HIV/AIDS for clients of Big Bend Cares, such as: 89 percent of Big Bend Cares’ clients live below the federal poverty guideline of $22,200 annually for a family of four.
Our challenging economy is making it even more difficult than ever for Big Bend Cares’ clients to afford basic necessities. Bearing that in mind, please consider our invitation to become a Holiday Angel, and help to provide holiday gifts to children who just want to have a happy holiday season this year.
We have many great sponsors but with the continued support of Al Pasini, Bonnie Fowler and the Sunrise Rotary Big Bend Cares was able to purchase gifts for over 301 children in 2012. For the past 5 years Sunrise Rotary has continued to support Big Bend Cares by donate almost $16K to the Holiday Angels program. With the continued support of groups like Sunrise Rotary we are able to provide a merry Christmas for many children. Please lend your support as an individual, family, office staff, church group, civic group or group of friends. Every little bit helps!
