Why is Sammy’s Window Important?

One day in Sammy’s Window, a young teenage boy brought gift cards and cash that he asked for ahead of Christmas so that he could donate to Sammy’s Window in time for the holiday. While he was still standing at the counter, the phone rang. A 9-month pregnant, 24-year-old woman was calling to say she just learned all her younger siblings were returning to foster care. She was pleading with Children’s Division to place the children in her home, but she needed everything one would need to raise multiple children.

Because of community donations, Sammy’s Window could provide beds, mattresses, food, hygiene items, school supplies, and more. However, Christmas was just around the corner and it was too late for her to participate in the Give Joy Holiday program. Thankfully, the young man standing at the counter had what this young family needed. Through shared tears, this generous teenager told the young mom that Christmas was covered for all her children.
