Haven of Hope International would like to unveil our exciting new campaign to bring Christmas cheer to vulnerable children. We wish for every child to have the experience of opening presents, decorating, singing holiday songs, enjoying a plentiful feast, and remembering Jesus is the reason for the season. Our Christmas initiative, in collaboration with BUYATREE. CHANGEALIFE and a dedicated local partner, aims to create unforgettable Christmas celebrations for children in Southwest Florida and over 225 children at our international partner orphanages.
The Challenge
With six international orphanages and a local center in Florida, Haven of Hope International actively champions the cause ensuring a joyful Christmas for children on both fronts. We could not do this alone; we are thankful for our partners, and we are counting on YOU to help us make Christmas bright. Together we can bring a smile to children here and around the world.

Let’s Make It Happen
Join us in making a difference today. Your support of the BUYATREE. CHANGEALIFE Campaign will help keep the spirit of Christmas alive for children both locally and globally. 50% of the proceeds will help children locally through New Life Academy and the other 50% will help to fund our Annual Christmas Fundraiser.
For many of the children we serve, this may be the first Christmas they will have a Christmas gift. Each of our partner homes work hard at providing a loving family atmosphere for the children. Christmas is the season of love, hope and joy and you will be helping them make sure each child has a gift.
Our commitment is to provide each child a toy or gift, back to school clothing and in a world where meat protein comes only a few times a year, we will provide a Christmas feast, outside of their norm (rice & beans).
If you aren’t able to help through the BUYATREE campaign, but still want to be a part of making Christmas bright for the children, you can support our Christmas Fund by clicking here. Together, let’s illuminate the holidays and bless children around the world!
