Give a Gift from the Heart this Holiday Season

As we close out 2025, we are thankful for the real and lasting change your generosity has made possible. From warm blankets to college textbooks, your gifts have brought comfort, dignity, and opportunity to those who need it most.

We invite you to help us do even more in the year ahead. Every donation to our Bridge to Hope Fund meets a specific, urgent need like these: ❤ $50 provides therapeutic books that help a child understand adoption, feel safe, and know he is loved by both families. ❤ $65 gives a child in foster care a comforting weighted blanket, helping her feel safe and secure as she adjusts to a new home. ❤ $150 opens doors to education by covering the cost of books for a young adult who grew up in foster care and is now pursuing community college classes through DePaul’s Independent Living Program. ❤ $200 helps provide a foster family with the essentials they need to welcome an infant into their home and provide love and care from day one. ❤ $300 offers hope and healing by helping an individual with a disability cover medical costs she cannot afford on her own. There will be more families to support, more children to comfort, and more futures to build in 2026. With you by our side, we’re ready to meet the moment. Thank you for being part of the work of hope and belonging at DePaul. Wishing you and your loved ones peace, joy, and good health this holiday season.
