Hillsides’ children and youth in crisis, who suffer from severe emotional disturbances, need your help in fulfilling special holiday wishes.
Pasadena, CA, November 21, 2009 --(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 from Hot Topic, Nike, and sport teams, hoodie sweatshirts-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.

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.
