ALGSA Holiday Giving Tree Gift Adoption Program 2024

During the months of November and December, the ALGSA Holiday Giving Tree Family Gift Adoption program provides gifts to Alagille Syndrome families around the world during the holiday season – the giving season. Holiday gifts such as toys, clothing and special needs items can cause extra strain on family budgets this time of year. Through our program, gift givers may select a family in need to “adopt” during the holiday season.

How the program works:

• Once families are selected to be a part of the Holiday Giving Tree program, we work with the family to determine appropriate gifts for their family based on ages, interests and needs of the family members.
• Families listed below are now eligible for Gift Adoption. ALL PARTICIPATING FAMILIES WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
• To give, anyone can select a family that best matches how they want to give (i.e., a family may list a tricycle for a four year old, a toy construction set for an eight year old and a grocery store gift card for the family).
• The giver completes the form to adopt the family and donates the appropriate amount to the ALGSA. The giver may include messages to the family that will be presented along with their gifts. 
• Once the giver has selected a family and donated, that family is removed from and the ALGSA purchases and ships the gifts to the family.
• Your gift amount is a tax deductible donation to the ALGSA.

If you are unable to adopt a family this year, you can still be a part of the giving season and the Holiday Giving Tree program. Make a donation to the Holiday Giving Tree program, and we will apply that amount where needed. All funds received for this program will go toward purchasing items for the participating families. Funds must be made directly to the Holiday Giving Tree program. Facebook or other fundraisers outside the program will not apply.

Families in need of Gift Adoption:
If you would like to be considered for the ALGSA Holiday Giving Tree Family Gift Adoption program, please complete the form listed below including applicable family members, ages, and requested gifts.

One application per family please.This program cannot be utilized by a family for more than 3 years over the lifetime of the program in order to provide support for new families.

Your identifying information will not be given to the gift giver. Publicized information will only include ages, sizes and gift selections. No names will be publicized. If a gift request includes clothing or shoes, please list applicable sizes.

The Families: 

Gift Givers may donate any amount to be used for a family listed below. Please indicate which family you would like to adopt on your donation form. A gift of $300 adopts a family. That entire amount is dedicated to purchasing gifts, some wrapping paper and supplies, and associated fees for shipping, Please consider adding an additional amount to your gift ($10, $20, or more) to help the ALGSA purchase additional wrapping paper and shipping costs for families in need.
