Give a gift of hope that helps others see hope for their future! Many gifts this time of year come with pretty ribbons and bows, and all promise to surprise and thrill. But what about giving a gift this holiday season that isn't able to be wrapped in a pretty little package? What about giving hope and opportunity to deserving children in northern Colorado?
You are able to give a donation to Macdonald Family Charity in the name of someone on your gift list - how great is that? You will receive a beautiful certificate to give to give to your loved one while giving a meaningful gift to a deserving child who will receive their dream from MFC. You provide the name and donation, and we'll provide the certificate.
Every gift given to Macdonald Family Charity is used to get the most out of each dollar. For kids like Brooke, the gifts you give are turned into incredible experiences that wouldn't happen without your support.
Brooke is a beautiful little girl from Loveland who dreams of someday becoming a writer. She loves history and museums. After a horrible car accident two years ago, Brooke had major difficulties to overcome thanks to a traumatic brain injury. She has recently re-learned to walk, read, talk and use her hand. The past two years have been filled with hospital visits, therapy, and a whole lot of struggles to get back to the girl she was before the accident. Her parents wrote to us about Brooke's dream of someday becoming a writer and her love of history. Their hope was that we could step in and create a dream trip to Washington, D.C. to the Smithsonian to help Brooke along her road to recovery.
On June 1-5 Brooke and her family were flown to Washington, D.C. where they stayed in a beautiful hotel, rode the subway, and visited historically rich places like the Smithsonian, monuments, and a tour of the White House and Senate. It was a trip she will forever be talking about. Here she is with her family at the White House. She's the little girl in the yellow shirt.
Our hope is that Brooke will remember that there are people all over who care about her and her future. People from our volunteers who scheduled the trip, donors who gave money for her souvenirs, and even state representatives who helped book the White House tour all came together to give this very sweet and special girl and trip she will never forget.
Please consider giving a gift to loved ones that will help give hope to other children! This Wednesday is also a unique giving opportunity for our supporters. It is Colorado Gives Day. You can go to this website and donate to Macdonald Family Charity. All donations are processed free of charge, so no money will go to a credit card company. GivingFirst.org is also going to be offering some matching funds based on the amount of donations given to each organization. Help us help deserving kids believe in their futures!
