Christmas wishes for 250 remain to be filled for kids in foster care
By MEGHAN BRADBURY - | Dec 16, 2020
The Guardian ad Litem Foundation – 20th Judicial Circuit is in need of the community’s help in fulfilling the 250 remaining Christmas wishes this year.
Executive Director Jessica Stanfield said the number of foster children they provide Christmas wishes for fluctuates every year as does the number of children they are serving in the five-county area.
Numbers vary by county as well.
“Lee County has the highest need. We are close to 400 wishes this year and that is conservative,” she said. “These children need the normalcy of opening a Christmas gift on Christmas morning. It’s a tall order, but we are going to get it done. By having the community stand behind us, it will help us do that more successful.”
