Sweet gifts from St. Nicholas

The calendar is constantly approaching St. Nicholas Day, which means that a very special and exciting time has begun for not only us, adults, but also for children. Every year, St. Nicholas comes from heaven to earth to wrap every child's heart with love, to put such long-awaited gifts under each pillow or directly into little hands. Holy – he is also holy in order not to divide people into "more necessary" and "more important", especially our children. Most of all St. Nicholas is awaited by children who live in orphanages or boarding schools or are in needy families. 

It is no secret that the wishes of these children cannot be fulfilled without our mutual support. This year's charity action "St. Nicholas goes to children" is aimed at preparing gifts for children of Golovno orphanage and for children from families in difficult life circumstances (crisis, incomplete, large, poor). We need your help to prepare gifts for these children!

One of the favorite children's holidays is St. Nicholas Day. There is no child in the world who, in anticipation of a long-awaited evening, wouldn’t dream of something special. All children wait for gifts from St. Nicholas, write letters, try to be polite. There is nothing sadder than disappointment, deprivation of warmth and care for the children who believed that they are needed. Unfortunately, there are children whose lives have been deprived of joy and the warmth of their families, who are in residential care for various reasons, and there are also children whose families are in difficult circumstances. In addition to the kind and compassionate people, there will be no one to prepare gifts for such children, and they are all waiting for gifts from St. Nicholas, waiting like no one.

Since 2011, the Caritas Volyn team is working hard to prepare a holiday for the children in need and bring joy and sincere smiles. This year children of Golovno orphanage and children whose families are in need are waiting for gifts from St. Nicholas again. So, we appeal to everyone who has the desire and the least opportunity to join in the good deeds of St. Nicholas – we need help to prepare sweet gifts! Every child's letter has a request for sweets. We ask everyone to help to buy 250 sweet gifts for children. We sincerely believe that this year, like the previous ones, you will become an active St. Nicholas assistants. Your understanding, great support, desire to do good things every year helps children feel fun, secure and necessary.

Thank you for every child you have already given or will give a bit of warmth and attention to!
