Olivia and her daughter Sophia, 4, of Cambridge are grateful for the safety net provided by the health department and social services.
With no income coming in, Olivia has no money for extras. Olivia is unemployed, but she dearly wants to be able to provide a beautiful Christmas for her little girl.
Olivia doesn’t want anything for herself. She simply wants Sophia to know the feeling of love and magic during the holidays with gifts from Santa under the tree.
Your donation to The Star Democrat’s Brighter Christmas Fund could help Olivia give her daughter a magical Christmas. Tax-deductible donations, which also help other families in need on the Mid-Shore, may be sent to: The Brighter Christmas Fund, c/o The Star Democrat, P.O. Box 600, Easton, MD 21601. Donations also may be made online at www.stardem.com/brighter_christmas_fund/donate/. Click the “Donate” button. For more information, call 410-200-1884 or email bcf@chespub.com.
