Christmas appeal for the children of Casa Alianza – Can you give the gift of hope this Christmas ?
Each child’s story begins in despair and fear – when only the outstanding work of Casa Alianza and your unfaltering support can transform a young life Our Christmas appeal is to raise funds to provide our children with a safe, warm home, gifts, and food. Support, friendship, companionship over this festive period and beyond. We want to give all our vulnerable children a memorable Christmas this year The reality for homeless children in Central America is that Christmas isn’t a holiday or a special day to be shared with loved ones. It is another day of fear and loneliness. Poverty, abuse or violence, neglect or family breakdown are some of the many reasons children are driven to the streets, living each day in fear of persecution or further violence. Homeless children are desperately seeking food and warmth as they seek a place to sleep in doorways, under bridges, in underground water systems or on rubbish dumps. They survive by rummaging through rubbish to ?nd something to eat or sometimes by begging and stealing. Homeless children are often numb with cold, and Christmas is just another day ?lled with trauma and pain. No Christmas dinner, no gifts and little hope. Poverty and hunger make vulnerable children living on the streets all too easy to exploit.
Our work and your support at Christmas transform the lives of our children, allows them to be the children they should be and gives them hope for the future. By adding a homeless child to your gift list this year together we can:
- Provide safety
- Keep them warm
- Feed them a meal
- Give them a present
- Access to vital services such as counselling & health care
Any gift from you… No matter how big or small is a reminder to our children that even from afar, you are with them at each step through life’s journey.
