"I will always remember the family that asked us for a Christmas list and then showed up with all of those gifts. With my mom being a single mom and recently divorced with no education or work experience to earn money, we would not have anything that year. I hope that someone gets the gift they really want this year." Anonymous
We hear similar stories every day from our students. The struggles our students face are real. If you have already given today, we thank you. For those who are still considering a gift, regardless of the size of your donation, we promise it will make an impact.
"Thank you very much. This helps more than you realize with current economic conditions. COVID has impacted our family a lot which led me to go back to school for a medical-related career. Again thank you!"- Tianna
"Oh wow this made my day, I honestly didn’t think you guys could help me because you’ve already helped so much. I greatly appreciate you guys and what you do, you have no idea how hard life and external circumstances have been on me mentally, financially, and emotionally and you guys have helped in various ways and I hope you get blessed!" - Krystyl
"Thank you so much. This is such a blessing and deeply appreciated."-Brittney
"Thank you so much! I can't help but cry. Thank you so much for this blessing I am so thankful!!"-Cameron
The needs are many. We have learned that all gifts are important; when we combine our giving (at whatever level), we learn that we really do change lives.
There are a lot of requests for hats, scarves and gloves as well as other clothing items for children this time of year.
Think of the joy these will bring to the children of Ivy Tech students.
There really is a Santa Claus! Your giving at this level will certainly touch the life of a child.
