It’s The Time of Year For Giving
It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle bustle of the holiday’s. There are gifts to buy, families to visit, parties to attend, decorations to hang, seemingly endless lists of things to do in a short amount of time. It is easy to forget that while we worry about whether or not to serve ham or turkey, there are children struggling with illness and families simply trying to cope with the pain that goes with watching a loved one struggle, all while wrestling with the financial burden that accompanies it.
Since 1974 the Ronald McDonald House has been helping these families with the best gift that could be given to a family, the gift of being together while helping alleviate the burdens that comes with illness. This December, help us at SAFYRE help our local chapter of the Ronald McDonald House here in Dallas help these families so that they can celebrate the only thing that matters to them this holiday season, family.
If you are not already registered to attend, please visit the event page to learn the different ways to register. It’s free and a guaranteed great time! And next time you are out shopping, throw a little extra something in your cart. That little something is guaranteed to make a difference for at least one family this year.
