Holiday Haven of Hope for 48 Families
At Irving Cares, we’ve just finished paying a portion of December rent or utilities for 48 families. They attended a money management class to learn how to budget and save, so that next year they can provide for their own holiday. This thank you card is from one of those families. We’ve raised nearly $6,000 of the $18,000 we need to cover these expenses. Please consider a gift to the Holiday Assistance Program here.
