be a star
give Christmas help
There are too many children who have to go without at Christmas.
The numbers speak for themselves. When 48,600 children grow up in poverty, we need more stars at Christmas. Stars that light up, show the way and provide Christmas help.
In Danish People's Aid we meet families who are so severely financially stressed that life is a daily struggle to make ends meet. And where the children in particular pay the price. Where the disposable income, once all fixed expenses have been paid, is so low that opt-out and deprivation are constant. Where families have to skip meals. Where warm clothes and winter boots that the children can fit into, threaten to overturn the entire financial burden.
December is especially tough because it is difficult to afford gifts for Santa Claus, food for community events and other Christmas traditions. In reality, a roast pork on the table and a gift for each child on Christmas Eve are hanging by a thread. When you support the Danish People's Aid Christmas Aid, we ensure that the children's families receive gift certificates for food and gifts.
Last year, people like you provided Christmas assistance to 12,150 families and a total of 22,130 children.
