Thanks to our generous Holiday of Wishes donors, we provided Christmas stockings, five personalized gifts, and activities to entertain El Nido youth during winter break. Additionally, 128 young adults in Sycamores' Independent Transitional Living Program received $50 Target gift cards, mugs, and hot cocoa packs. This display of care was especially meaningful after the devastating fires and trauma at the El Nido campus in Altadena. Although the gifts were left behind during the 3 AM evacuation, El Nido remains intact, and the youth's gifts await them in their professionally cleaned cottages. Your donations helped support the youth during their temporary housing in Sycamores' offices and their return to their cottages.
