News and Events

Holidays from the Heart

We are blessed to be part of the Picture 3.pngThe Children’s Hospital Los Angeles “Holidays from the Heart” program for the 3rd year.  "Holidays from the Hearts" gives sponsors the opportunity to reach out to every member of a family with a chronically ill child by answering their wish lists.
 
For some patients, 2011 will be their last holiday season.
 
Often, families without health insurance must forego their own basic needs to insure the best care possible for their beloved child. Many do not have amenities we take for granted, such as refrigerators and stoves. When asked what gifts they’d want for Christmas, the majority of families request warm clothing for their children.



We will  be sponsoring several family's this Christmas. Each child in the family will receive five gifts. Each adult will receive three gifts. Plus, all monetary donations will be turned into one grocery gift card per family.

If you’d like to participate by becoming an ANGEL this Christmas, please visit the christmas wish list page for our families, click on the donation link!  If you would like to drop off donations we will have 3 drop locations.  It’s as simple as that, yet the efforts of our ANGELS will help incredibly those receiving families who are in crisis and in need of our gifts, but most especially, our prayers.

If you’d like to volunteer please contact us at Higherconnectionsnetwork@gmail.com   We’re in need of  volunteers to help wrap gifts, pray for the families, and help deliver the gifts!
Duties consist of keeping a gift inventory log which tracks the members purchasing gifts, answering questions and receiving wrapped gifts. As friends and followers of Jesus Christ, “Holidays from the Heart” is the perfect opportunity for you to belong, grow and serve this holiday season.
