🎁 Client Christmas: Share the Magic of the Season
For many children healing from trauma, the holidays can be an especially difficult time. Feelings of loss, grief, or instability often replace the joy that should fill this season—and some may not receive another gift beyond what they’re given here at Bethesda.
Client Christmas is our way of reminding every child we serve that they are seen, valued, and deserving of joy. Each gift is thoughtfully chosen for an individual child in therapy, giving them a personal moment of hope and warmth during the holidays.
You can make the season brighter by purchasing directly from our Amazon Wishlist—items will ship straight to Bethesda—or by dropping off new, unwrapped gifts at:
📍 Bethesda, Inc.
1181 E Main St, Norman, OK 73071
Together, we can ensure every child we serve experiences the magic, comfort, and love of the holidays. 💙
🗓️ Gift Collection Dates: November 10 – December 4
