Posted on November 20, 2014 This holiday season, more than 25,000 children will wake up in NYC homeless shelters. While losing one’s home is difficult for anyone, it is devastating for a child – who must cope with the loss of friends, familiar surroundings and prized possessions. By donating a brand new gift for a homeless girl or boy, you can help make the holidays just a little bit brighter for those who need it most!
