Holiday help
Hi, everyone! I know how hard the holidays can be for some and so I thought we could come together as a community to help as many families in need this season. As much as I’d love to gather funds for those hurting financially, after doing so last year I came to realize I’m simply just not comfortable enough to manage that amount of money that isn’t mine. Alternatively, amazon wishlists seem to be the safest, most secure way to help those in need whether it be basic essentials, presents for this children, or in most cases, both. We have already received thousands of emails and have carefully narrowed our list down to the families found below. We will add to this list until the last possible minute, so if you would like to nominate yourself or a loved one, you may still do so by emailing heylindshay.holidayhelp@gmail.com. Please include a bit about yourself/family in need and include a public amazon wishlist. If you are a brand interested in helping out, please email me at lindsay@thehayfamilyblog.com. I will share any updates from our recipients as/if they come! I wish we could help everyone, but I know that if we come together we can do so much!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and willingness to help. Xo, Lindsay
