Christmas - Lighthouse Care

What is the Christmas Miracle?

The Christmas miracle is all about making Christmas unforgettable for the most vulnerable children and families in our community, by providing them with amazing gifts that they could never afford.

To do this we work with hundreds of generous people, families and businesses, known as Santa’s Little Helpers, to shop for and donate gifts valued at $200 to go to families who are truly struggling.

The unique thing about what we do is the children actually get to write their own wish lists that go to our Santa’s Little Helpers. This means the kids get exactly what they want!

Consider becoming one of our Santa’s Little Helpers, and help make Christmas special for a child this year.

This year, we are aiming to impact the lives of 400 children by having them fill in their Christmas Wish List and give it to Secret Santa Shopper to buy it for them. If you would like to be involved with fulfilling these wish lists, we would love to work with you!
