Our Story

For many, the holiday season is a time of being with family, giving and receiving gifts, and indulging in delicious foods. Sometimes, we can forget that many don’t have the same luxuries and opportunities available to them that we do. 

This passion project came to life from the hearts of our family. A mum and three children raised in a single-parent household who struggled financially for many years.

In our hardships, we had to rely upon social assistance and at one point found ourselves living in a shelter. There were years when we lacked the financial means to have a Christmas of our own. In those painful circumstances, it was the generosity of our community that made it possible for us to celebrate the holidays.

We knew firsthand how difficult it was to receive assistance and obtain access to these resources. We also knew there was simply not enough for everyone. Because of this, we made a commitment in 2021 to bring holiday magic to as many families as possible.
