Holiday Adopt-a-Family
The Adopt-A-Family Program has been created to help Candlelighters Families, whose focus is on their child’s illness, enjoy the holiday season without any additional stress or worries through the generosity of wonderful caring donors within the Las Vegas community.
When a family spends much of their time in the hospital or clinic with their child undergoing treatments, they are overwhelmed by the many co-pays for doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescriptions, or they lose their child to this disease, the holidays can be tough. Most families do not have the emotional or financial means to go shopping for gifts. Your generosity allows our families the opportunity to celebrate the holidays and provide a sense of normalcy for the diagnosed child, their siblings, and their parents.
Thanks to so many amazing community supporters like you the 2024 Adopt-a-Family program has had on overwhelming response of generosity to support families this holiday season. To be placed on the adopter waitlist or to facilitate a toy drive in lieu of adopting a family please email jyork@candlelightersnv.org or call 702-737-1919.
