Pure joy is the best gift of all

Thanks to our amazing donors and volunteers, CFO 2025 was a beautiful success! Because of you, HonorKids was able to bring light and laughter to children navigating the holiday season after the loss of a parent

A huge thank you to the families who shared these videos and photos with us. Seeing these smiles makes everything we do worthwhile

We are so grateful to see the grieving children served through our Honor Kids program enjoying their gifts on Christmas morning. Moments like these remind us why this work matters.

Thank you to every donor and volunteer who made this possible, and to the family who generously shared this special moment with us. Your kindness helped bring joy, comfort, and a sense of being remembered to these children this Christmas.

The most common question people ask about the Christmas for Orphans "honorkids.org" campaign is how it's different from existing gift programs?

Here's how:
1) We don't just say you are a girl, you get a girl toy-We let the child write out a wishlist just as though mom or dad were alive

2) This program is exclusively for grieving children

3) We have a group of robust volunteers that work round the clock to ensure children's Christmas wishlists are fulfilled

4) Kids enrolled in honorkids.org get a partner for their childhood not just for Christmas

5) Bereavement is what we do, we are united in our dedication to child bereavement support

Join us in our work at https://honorkids.org
-Refer families to apply

Grief is most agonizing during the holidays. Help us fulfill a grieving child's wish list today!
