Bringing Joy to Children, One Playground At A Time
(25 November 2024 – 31 January 2025)
As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the joy and warmth that this time of year brings to families and communities. It is a time for giving, sharing, and making a meaningful impact on the lives of others. At Reception House, we are reaching out to you with a heartfelt request to support a cause that will make a lasting difference for newcomer children in our community.
Building a Playground, Building a Future
Many of the children who have recently arrived in our community have experienced upheaval, uncertainty, and even trauma. For these children, a safe space is a vital part of their healing, development, and integration. Our temporary accommodation does not have a safe space for these young children to play where they can build friendships, develop important social and motor skills, and simply experience the joy of being a child.
This year, we are launching a special holiday campaign to raise $50,000 to build a new playground specifically designed to meet the needs of newcomer children. This playground will be a place where they are free to be children and are welcomed and safe.
How you can Help
We are reaching out to generous donors like you who understand the importance of creating spaces for all children to thrive. Your contribution will directly support the construction of this playground and the creation of a brighter future for these children. Every dollar you give will bring us one step closer to making this dream a reality. Your donation—whether large or small—will have a lasting impact.
With your help, we can give newcomer children the gift of play, connection, and hope. Please consider making a donation today, and help us create a space where every child can feel at home.
Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of this important mission. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed holiday season.
