Simple gifts of love make a lasting difference

Watch to see the impact it can make when someone shows they care

The gift of giving at Christmas or any time in the year means so much to the people who are helped, as is shown in this moving familytoday.com video below, which depicts a familiar literary story about one hospital patient who helps another by giving the simplest gift.

The video narrative sums it up best: “The greatest gift is love. True love is to give freely to those in need without expecting anything in return.”

At Children Believe, we’re so grateful to our supporters who gave a helping hand during a tough year at home as well as abroad, due to the pandemic and other national emergencies and disasters.

Watch the video below to see how simple gifts of love can change someone’s life for the better.
