The holidays are just around the corner and we hear about
the hardships many families are facing. In
lieu of giving gifts of appreciation to clients, we decided our gift to them
would be to donate to a special, local charity in need.
A few years back we were introduced to Christmas in the
City. It’s a wonderful non-profit organization
run by Kennedy Brothers Physical Therapy here in Boston. Their idea was to collect gifts for homeless
children whose mothers have been abused and have sought shelter. This organization provides a bit of cheer to
those families by hosting a huge winter wonderland gathering full of fun games,
great food, and, of course, Santa.
For the second straight year, Doris O. Wong Associates,Inc., has requested names of children that we can sponsor. The mother writes down three wishes for her
child and we purchase a gift. Gift
wrapped with festive ribbons and bows, Santa presents to each child their
special something during this party. What
a wonderful way to provide a bright spot in the eyes of a child.
What started out as a party for 165 children and mothers at
the State House has now grown into a party for over 3,000 children and parents. It’s
simply amazing that this is run 100% by volunteers.

Happy Holidays from the reporters and staff at Doris O. Wong
Associates, Inc.
