The Elves of St. Vincent Are Hard at Work

Volunteers from Aetna bring Christmas joy to a family

We first met Tyranza and her family when a team of teens from Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Anthem descended on her home for a two hundred person-hour transformation into a true work of art, as one of our Vincentian Fresh Perspectives home makeover projects. You can see photos of this makeover project here.

This week donor/volunteer employees of Aetna, who have worked with St. Vincent de Paul in so many helpful ways over the years, have learned about Tyranza’s family, and have adopted them for Christmas, bringing presents for all of the kids and meeting the family. This is another example of St. Vincent de Paul’s elves hard at work bringing Christmas joy to disadvantaged families. Thank you for your wonderful generosity! And thank you especially to Sarah from Aetna, who organized this day of giving.

You can find more photos of this joyful day on St. Vincent de Paul’s Facebook page here. (You don’t have to have a Facebook account to see the photos).
