It’s so hard to believe that the holiday season is here! The last year has been incredible for us. From June – December we will have provided over 200 hours of therapy and respite for area families. The children and the families we serve have become a very big part of our daily lives here at Gio’s Garden. We do everything we can to try to support them and help them throughout their days, weeks, and months. They are a part of our family.
Many people have asked us for a wish list for this holiday season. I am posting one below. Along with these items, we would always love a gift card from Costco, Target, or Walmart as we can use these to get the little things that add up that you might not think about (such as water softener salt, a shovel, printer ink, hand soap, sidewalk salt, etc.).

We are also asking for donations to help cover the cost of care for our families. Did you know that we offer our service on a donation basis? Families pay what they are able to; we do not ask for a fee. Help support our families by donating something from our wish list or a gift of $40 to cover the cost of one week of care.
