XMAS APPEAL 2024
A TIME FOR GIVING…
Four small children arrived at St. Nicholas Home last year, with nothing beyond the thread bare clothes they wore that day - no toys, no pajamas', they came with a social worker from Child Welfare just like that, with wide, and very wary eyes.
What always moves us in these moments, is the kindness of our other children at St Nicolas Home, who, having come to know the warmth of belonging and the comfort of care and safety, eagerly share with the new arrivals. The child in a similar size, would offer their second pair of pajamas, a clean set of clothes for tomorrow, and a reassuring "it's yours now, you can keep it forever." It's a ritual of care that transcends words, building a bridge of trust from one child to another.
Soon, the new child begins somehow, to slowly trust and relax into this unfamiliar stability. They realize: "This bed is mine. Every night." They have clothes in the cupboard, a toothbrush of their own, and a tiny corner of the world where they belong, every day.
Thank you, for your role in fostering a sense of belonging in all our children, the ones who arrived in the past year, and the ones who have called St Nicolas Home for several years.
As always during this Giving Season, we thank you and we celebrate the joy your continued support brings to our children's lives.
This year, we hope you'll join us once more to make their holidays and upcoming school year a little brighter. Your gift of clothing, whether holiday outfits or school uniforms, flip-flops or school shoes, will help our kids feel confident and cared for.
Thank you for your care for our children during this past year and always.
We wish you a bright and relaxing Christmas holiday.
Best wishes
Sandhira and the team at COACH
