Christmas is almost upon us!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Maybe you’re already working on plans for the big holiday dinner, or you have already wrapped a few gifts to go under the tree.
But not every family experiences the joys of Christmas. For the 1.5 million children with a parent in prison, Christmas can be a reminder of their parents’ absence. Too many children with a parent in prison experience feelings of shame or abandonment. For the parents, there is often only one gift they want above all else this Christmas: connection with their children.
You can bridge the gap between incarcerated parents and their children. Through a simple donation, you can help a parent in prison give a gift to their child—reminding the child they are loved and remembered this Christmas.
A present from Mom or Dad can make Christmas special, yet we know the greatest gift of all is the gift of Jesus Christ. When you give to Prison Fellowship Angel Tree, children with parents behind bars not only receive a present from their incarcerated parent, but they also have the opportunity to receive an easy-to-read children’s Bible and hear about the love of Christ.
Your donation of $300 can provide for 10 children to receive a gift and the Gospel message. Through Angel Tree Christmas you can make a lasting impact by helping a child know they are not forgotten.
Children with a parent in prison may not get to see Mom or Dad on Christmas day—but you can let them know they’re loved. Make this the best Christmas yet.
