Do you love putting a smile on children's faces during Christmas? This Christmas holiday you can rejoice and celebrate by helping children who lost parents or a caregiver due to COVID-19. You can now help them and their new caregivers this Christmas through our organization. Help us fill young hearts with joy, we want to make sure our little ones are not left out and to get to as many as we can with your support.
This year, through "Save Pearl" we are inviting you to Give TODAY, shop AmazonSmile, or shop GoodShop for children who lost their parents or caregiver due to COVID-19. Your support will help lessen the burden on new caregivers for these children without parents or former caregivers this Christmas.
Our young ones are pearls, and we want to save them this Christmas by bringing joy to their lives. The campaign will provide Christmas items and help pay expenses for young pearls ages 0-17 in Winston-Salem, NC through your giving.
Let's Save Pearl!
Children who lost their parents or a caregiver during the pandemic need your help.
This year to remember the holiday season with children in mind, YAMM is giving the gifts that give back to children (Pearl) in our community. We want to give gifts that give back “Save Pearl” this giving season. Save Pearl is the children who lost their parents or a caregiver during the pandemic and need your help to have a great Christmas. Commit to being generous to our children and give gifts that give back today to assist needy families who care for orphaned children or children who lost a primary caregiver during COVID-19 with Christmas items or a donation.
Over 10.5 million children either are orphaned or lost a primary caregiver due to COVID-19, according to a study published. Of the 10.5 million, 7.5 million – were orphaned while 3 million children lost a primary caregiver. This is an urgent issue that needs attention. We are passionate about children in our community and around the world, especially those who have lost parents or caregivers and we must help these children and the families who support and take care of them throughout the year.
Gone unnoticed, the lives taken by COVID-19 have caused a significant increase in health issues, furthermore, new caretakers are facing challenges from not knowing how to help a child deal with trauma, to financial and resources from adding a new member or members to their home.
Understanding the parent's or caregiver's absence has caused a burden on the families who are keeping these children left behind, we want to help decrease some of their worries by giving 200 families a $300 Grocery gift card or a $300 utility bill payment. This gift will help the families as they care for these children left behind. Just imagine, the majority of the parents or caregivers did not have a life insurance policy leaving nothing for the children because they could not afford life insurance before they passed. Now leaving everything to the families who take responsibility for these children left behind.
YAMM wants to make sure the caring families of these children and the children are not lost this year with gifts that give back. We ask you to give gifts that give back to help us to make this Giving Season better than the last two for these families. The children added to these families need food, bill assistance, clothing, Christmas gifts, and mental health assistance.
You choose how you want to donate below with your gifts that give back . Click below to enter our AmazonSmile and choose YAMM as your charity organization to start shopping. Made simple, you choose from a list or choose as you please, pay for it and Amazon will ship it to us so we can distribute items to needy families of children who lost their parents or a caregiver during the pandemic.
