The Family Law Office of Eric Michael Vallillee is excited to be participating in LifeSpin’s Christmas sponsorship program for a second year! LifeSpin is a registered London, Ontario charity that is dedicated to supporting and empowering low-income Londoners.
The organization has had about 1,400 families register for its Christmas sponsorship program this year alone. Every year they try to pair each family with a sponsor who agrees to purchase gifts for the children who otherwise might not have received anything. Parents often ask for items like clothes or bedding for their children, and they may also provide some ideas for small toys. Sponsors may also provide gift cards for groceries and other necessities around the holidays.
The parents who participate in this program take the initiative to register in advance, provide proof of income and other information, and give the charity some ideas for small gifts that their children might like to receive. They are hard-working individuals who care about their families, who may be going through difficult times or suffering from illness or disability. They are often working multiple jobs to make ends meet, or in some cases are simply unable to work due to illness. The thoughtfulness and care for their children that these parents show by registering for this program and going through the process of being approved and matched with a sponsor so that they can provide an exciting Christmas morning for their families is something that touches us deeply in our office.
If you’re interested in sponsoring a family, there is still time to get in touch with LifeSpin. Please click here for the sponsorship form, or visit the organization’s website at lifespin.org for more information.
From all of us here in the office, we wish you the the happiest of holidays, a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2020 and the new decade!
