The holiday season is the time of year when we're all busy buying gifts, baking goodies, decorating our homes and making arrangements to be with family and friends. | 1 |
Many of the children are victims of abuse or live in unstable homes. | 0 |
Today we are asking you to take a few minutes to consider making a contribution to Pleasant Run to help the 1,500 children families we care for. | 1 |
Many of the children have no homes; no memories of joy from past holidays. | 2 |
Others are from families that are struggling to provide a healthy, happy environment but don't have the resources to make it possible. | 2 |
