Toys in Christmas

This Christmas, many families will sit around the Christmas tree opening gifts and sharing in the joy of the season. Children will receive new toys to add to their existing collections. Parents will blissfully watch as their children squirm with excitement at their newest belongings. Gratitude and contentment will fill the entire household as another year of Christmas magic comes around. This is the lived reality of many Western families who can afford to make the season special for their children. However, this reality is but a longed for dream for the thousands of poor middle eastern children living in orphanages.
In Palestine, a country who has experienced its fair share of war and political turmoil, many orphaned children will spend another Christmas with no family. Due to financial constraints, orphanages very often cannot afford to buy gifts for these children, especially when their limited financial resources need to be allocated elsewhere. This holiday season, Unheard Cries is partnering with S.O.S, an on-ground orphanage in the West Bank, Palestine, to spread love and joy for its children by providing them with new toys for Christmas. 

For just $10, you can send a gift to an orphan in the West Bank. The following is a selection of the toys available for every age group. You can leave a comment with the toy you wish to gift as you make your donation on our website. 

Age group 0-6: stuffed animals, puzzles, coloring books, music toys 

Age group 6-12: dolls, jump ropes, books, building blocks, learning cards 

Age group 13-18: sports balls, board games, headphones, marbles

With your generous donations, we will be able to provide these Palestinian orphans joy and hope. These children have already gone through unspeakable hardships. With your help, we can help them hold on to their childhood and experience the joy of playing with a new toy for Christmas.
