“As a mom, I’m so grateful because there have been so many times where finances have made me worry about what I can and can’t give my kids. But God used Acres to make it possible for me to still give my children a good Christmas, and that honestly feels like such a miracle to me. It’s one less worry, one less thing my kids have to go without, and one more reason for me to be thankful. I’m just really grateful that God has used this place and this community to help make this season special for my babies and for me.”

“Waking up on Christmas morning, the very first thing I saw was the radiant, unforgettable smile on my son’s face. For the first time in a long time, we woke up in an emotionally and physically stable, warm place, looking out at a tree filled with beautiful presents chosen just for us. Words cannot fully express our deep gratitude for the donors who took the time to carefully select gifts from our wish lists; you didn’t just buy or wrap presents; you truly made our dreams come true and restored the magic of childhood for him.”
