Our Pink Ribbon Assistance (PRA) program does so much throughout the year to help so many but during the holidays, it's a whole new ballgame.  A family impacted by breast cancer faces challenges ranging from emotional to financial.  At Michelle's Place, we work to provide support for families to ensure they have what they need to minimize the financial burden and stress during the holiday season.

For the past five years, Michelle's Place volunteers, community supporters and committee members have ensured that our families who are currently in treatment and financially struggling receive Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas gifts.  We solely depend on the generosity of our supporters for this program.  This year we need help providing gifts for the 70 families currently in need.  You can adopt a family and purchase their wish list gifts on your own or you can donate to Michelle's Place PRA Holiday program and we will ensure these families are provided a nice holiday.  When you adopt a family, you will receive all the information you need to buy gifts for that family...names, ages, sizes, etc.  Gifts and monetary donations must be delivered to Michelle's Place by Wednesday, December 7th.

This program is not complete until we meet and celebrate with the PRA families as we present them with their gifts at Stadium Pizza in Wildomar.  Because of the large number of families we are helping this year, we will be hosting two parties.  One on Sunday, December 11th, and another on Sunday, December 18th, at 4:30pm.

If you are interested in supporting this program, please contact Jamie Goebel at 951-757-5936 or jamie@michellesplace.org.
