Give the Gift of Choice This Holiday Season

There is something special about choosing the perfect gift for someone you love.

Maybe it's the toy your child has talked about for months. A new pair of shoes they really need. Something unexpected that will make their face light up. Or even a family necessity that brings a little relief during an expensive time of year.

Whatever it is, the opportunity to choose is part of the gift.

This holiday season, through Colorado Gives, Project Self-Sufficiency invites you to help us Give the Gift of Choice to the single-parent families we serve.

Rather than deciding what a family should receive, you can empower parents to choose the gifts, necessities, and holiday moments that matter most to them.

Our goal is to provide every participating parent and eligible child with a $75 holiday gift card, giving families the freedom to choose what they need most this holiday season. With $25,000 from donors like you, we can make that possible.

Your generosity allows us to purchase and distribute Walmart or Amazon gift cards directly to families in time for holiday shopping, putting the power of choice into the hands of parents.

Because no one knows their family better than they do.

What brings joy and relief to one family may look very different for another. A gift card allows parents to choose what their children need most while preserving the dignity and independence every family deserves.

One parent shared what that opportunity meant to her family last year:

"Thank you so much for your generosity! I appreciate your help in making Christmas special for my family. My kids are so excited for Christmas and this help allows me to not stress or worry if they will have gifts. Thank you again." – A.H., PS-S Parent

For many single-parent families, the holidays come at a time when budgets are already stretched thin. An unexpected expense can quickly change what a parent has planned for the season.

Another parent shared:

"Thank you. This helps so much especially since I'm having car issues and having to spend what was saved for Christmas on those repairs!" – J.C., PS-S Parent

Your gift does more than help purchase holiday presents. It gives parents a little breathing room, the opportunity to make meaningful choices for their families, and the joy of creating holiday memories with their children.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

• $75 provides one gift card for a parent or child.

Please make your donation by November 8 so we can purchase and distribute gift cards in time for holiday shopping.
