Christmas week has always reminded me how fortunate my family and I are. Amidst the chaos and busy times, you can always find moments of reflection. Holiday songs strike chords of memories, twinkling landscapes take our breath away, the joy of the children partaking in traditions fills our hearts; there is no shortage of things to help us find joy.
This 2020 Christmas week has been a little different for me. I find myself thinking of those who have been affected by the pandemic and just don’t have enough to make ends meet. Between layoffs, evictions, and slow going federal aid packages a lot of families simply cannot afford to provide their family with the Christmas they deserve. I am so grateful that I have connected with organizations that assist local families in need.
