Pasadena, CA, December 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Who: Hillsides’ children and youth in crisis, who suffer from severe emotional disturbances, need your help in fulfilling special wishes. Items for teenagers are especially needed this holiday season.
Hillsides, a Pasadena foster care children’s charity that creates safe places for children at risk and their families, is able to meet the holiday needs of children in their care and families in need because of generous community support.
What: The teens’ special wishes include: Hygiene items and hair accessories; perfumes, colognes; small purses, teen type and wallets; trendy tee shirts-Quicksilver, Gotcha, Roxy, Fubu-adult men and women sizes; gift certificates to fast food restaurants, movie theatres, music stores, and retail stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Sport Chalet, Chick’s, Macy’s; watches and other teen jewelry; small electronic handheld games; and sports memorabilia. For an ongoing holiday wish list, visit www.Hillsides.org
If you wish to underwrite a winter outing for the children, contact Laura Kelso, Director of Community Resources, at (323) 254-2274, ext. 251.
Why: During the holidays, children who have lived through traumatic experiences reflect on their losses and abandonment. They exhibit profound depression, stress and anxiety recalling the fear, pain and confusion before they came to a safe and non-threatening place like Hillsides. Individuals in the community can make a difference by fulfilling a special wish and making the holiday season memorable.
When and Where: Bring deliveries to Hillsides by December 19 at 940 Avenue 64 in Pasadena. For information, call Laura Kelso, (323) 254-2274, ext. 251, or visit www.hillsides.org.
