I joined this awesome group a few years ago. My boyfriend's family told me about it when they found out I was crying about are 5 babies not having a Christmas and because of this group they had the best Christmas ever.

It all begins with this will be our third consecutive year adopting a seacoast family for Christmas. We first started when our twin boys were 3 years old. We wanted to instill in them Christmas magic in a way they could understand. Now with three children, it is important to us that we raise them with a sense of humility. We are very fortunate to be in a position to give back, even if that means we give ourselves a little less.

I am very thankful for Helping Seacoast Families. I just came to NH and was trying to figure stuff out. Christmas time was coming and I needed help. A friend suggested the group so I figured I would try. The first time, and all other times, I have been impressed and very thankful. I have used the group off and on for a few years and would highly recommend them. I have never had an adopter that was opinionated, they were always open to the kids needs and wants. I could give them the most basic gift idea, such as my son is this age and enjoys monkeys and cars. They have found the best things and unique things.

I came across this blessing and this organization through Facebook. I have struggled for years through holidays with my grandchildren since getting guardianship in 2014. I'm limited income, and do my best to provide. However, your organization has been such a blessing come the holidays. I couldn't be more thankful. It also takes some pressure off my mind. That's a great deal considering two of my sons are active addicts. I worry endlessly, every day. I try to hide the fact my grandchildren may lose their parents. I'm truly grateful for all of you, and all you do. God speed.
