🎄 Christmas Compassion Outreach 2025
“Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
Family #17 – Dawn A.
Adults in Home:
• Dawn A. (Female, mother, on disability)
• Fiancé (Male, on disability)
Children:
• Gunner, age 6 (Male)
Family Story and Situation:
Dawn shared that both she and her fiancé are on disability and have been struggling since Hurricane Helene. They had to move, find another vehicle, and rebuild stability while continuing to provide for their young son. Last year they spent Christmas in a FEMA-approved motel, and this year is their first attempt at a normal Christmas since the disaster — but recovery has been slow and difficult.
They have reached out to multiple churches, the Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, and other programs, but everything in their area is at full capacity. Dawn expressed that they are grateful for any help and simply want to give their son a Christmas he can enjoy after such a hard season.
Christmas Needs:
• Clothing (pants 6–7T, shirts 7T)
• Shoes (size 13½–1 kids)
• Underwear (size 5–6T)
• Socks
• Food and groceries
• Christmas tree and decorations
Christmas Wishes:
For Gunner (6, Male):
• Basketball and hoop
• Lego table and chair (used or handmade is fine)
• Remote control cars
• Space, astronaut, plane, and planet themed toys
