One Child, One Miracle.

Every Christmas growing up, my grandparents made the season feel like a shower of blessings straight from heaven. No matter what challenges the year had brought, they would go above and beyond to make sure each grandchild felt special, seen, and so deeply loved. With glowing trees, the smell of my grandmother’s candied yams in the air, and joyful laughter echoing through the house, they gave each of us around $200 worth of gifts—not just in toys or clothes, but in unforgettable memories and the feeling that we mattered. I can still remember the sparkle in our eyes as we opened presents and the warmth of their love wrapping around us like a cozy blanket. That legacy of giving—of going out of their way to bless others—is what inspires the Christmas Blessing Initiative today. I do this in loving memory of my grandfather, Albert Brown Sr., and in honor of the love he poured into our family. Through this initiative, I pray that same love finds its way into the hearts of children and families who need it most.

🎄A Season of Love, A Gift of Joy🎄
We are joyfully preparing to bless 50 children ages 5–17 through this year’s Christmas Blessing Initiative! Children ages 5–8 may receive help from a parent or guardian to submit their application, and we welcome all submissions to be creative and heartfelt — whether it’s a 1-page letter, a short video, a colorful PowerPoint, or anything that expresses why they’d love to be chosen. Applications will be accepted right here on our website, where families can easily upload their files and share their child’s story.

We are raising $10,000 total — $200 per child — from now through September 30, 2025, so that by October 1st, we can focus solely on reviewing applications and preparing for the joy that’s to come! While September 30 is our donation deadline for this year’s blessings, any gifts received after that date will go toward future initiatives or our ongoing outreach to families in need.

🎁 Gifts will be distributed between December 15–21, and families will be notified of a centralized pickup location, or we will lovingly arrange transportation or personally deliver gifts when needed — because no child should miss out on the joy of being seen, celebrated, and supported.

We invite you to prayerfully consider being a blessing of $200 for one child — but no gift is too small, and every offering counts. Together, we can light up hearts and homes with the love of Christ this holiday season. 💝
