Christmas is a special time for most of us. We are looking forward to spending some time with family and friends. But for many of the kids, Christmas comes with a host of mixed emotions. While the gifts and celebrations are a welcome distraction from living away from home at The Ranches, Christmas also comes with consistent and constant reminders of how far away from ideal their life has been. For many kids, like those at The Ranches, Christmas often reminds them of what has been lacking in their lives; Hope. It’s now easier than ever to give to The Ranches and to designate your gift for specific items that are needed by kids throughout the coming year.
