A Message from the Abby's house
I wanted to reiterate to you just a little information on how we are approaching the Holidays. This year, we are focusing on offering our women and children the dignity of choice for the holidays. We are collecting $50 gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, or Visa, which allow each woman to select something personally meaningful. This approach aligns with our mission to provide a dignified experience, empowering our residents to choose what best suits their needs and desires.
Alongside gift cards, each woman has the option of receiving a small accompanying gift, such as an insulated mug, water bottle, coloring book, reusable shopping tote, or a list/note pad. We are also seeking gift cards specifically for our guests’ children so that mothers can shop for items that are most important for their little ones. In addition, we are collecting gift-wrapping supplies to add a touch of holiday magic.
I have attached the link to our Holiday Wishlist here for easy access: https://www.myregistry.com/giftlist/abbyshouseholiday
Regarding any specific gifts that our children guest residents would like to receive, we are looking to collect:
- Children’s books (some in Spanish)
- Magnatile sets or other STEM/STEAM educational toys
- Movie theatre gift cards (so that they have an opportunity for that experience) *Blackstone Valley is the closest.
- Kid’s water bottles
- Gingerbread/holiday baking kits
- Netflix gift cards (to host movie nights at our Shelter!)
Thank you so much for your generous support and thoughtfulness towards our residents this Holiday Season!
