Once Upon a Time is Arizona…

There was a family who had faced many battles, time and time again.

They dealt with a lot of stress and trauma. They worked so hard and yet never seemed to be able to get ahead. This led to many domestic disputes and the eventual removal of the children. The family was broken, and the idea of a typical holiday spent together with gifts and laughter seemed like a far-off dream.

They met RY Services and that “far-off dream” became a reality.

Since 2017, RY Services has been helping to heal families struggling with homelessness, violence, poverty, and trauma. They worked hands-on with the family inside their home, helping to raise them above their struggles and see them thrive. They were making great strides toward reunification, but as the holidays drew closer, something still just didn’t feel right.

Every year, around the holidays, a handful of families in their programs are given a “Holiday Care Package.”

During this holiday season, families who could use a sprinkle of holiday cheer the most are hand-picked and given a Holiday to Remember. All thanks to you! For this year, we are opening up sponsorships to the public. Each family will receive toys, gifts, clothing, and other essentials ensuring all their holiday wishes come true. But that’s not all!

There was a boy named Trenton Jr. who possessed a magical light that shined brighter than the north star on a winter night.

Diagnosed with Autism and having struggles with communication, this boy could still light up a room and lift every soul he came across. He, unfortunately, left his light behind after passing away unexpectedly in May. But his magical light lives on in this year's Toy Drive, held in his honor, where we call upon YOU to be a hero and sponsor a family!

This year, for every family that is sponsored, RY Services will donate an iPad in your name to the SPICE Program at Sonoma Ranch Elementary School. Helping to give a special needs child their voice.
