Donate a Gift this Christmas

‘Tis the season for giving

This Christmas we are appealing to our supporters to dig deep to help us provide support to grieving families.

How can you do this?

Between now and Christmas Eve, businesses, supporters or families are being encouraged to donate a healing gift for a grieving family.

It is so important to help eliminate the financial burden our families have to experience, whilst going through the hardest time of their lives.
So, support and help from communities and businesses has never been more vital to enable us to continue providing our free specialist counselling.

We need your help!

“Our charity has seen an increase in requests for our support services and as we approach Christmas our core services have never been in greater demand”

Kelly Wells, CEO

We are very aware that every little helps at Christmas and that has never been more apparent than now. With so many day to day financial pressures on families and the added costs of Christmas it can mean that getting bereavement support is not a priority, which leads to longer term emotional wellbeing and mental health issues. 

The Christmas giving tree is situated pysically at our shop ‘Handmade with Love’ in Maidstone but you can also donate via our donate a gift online via our donation link https://app.goodhub.com/makingmiracles-donate-a-gift
