We started having regular phone calls with my family and my kids called me mom for the first time. (incarcerated mother)

Did you know that there are about 40 thousand children in the Czech Republic who suffer  harsh punishment caused by the mistakes of their parents? Their punishment is separation from their parent because of their incarceration.
We believe that each child deserves to experience a merry Christmas, so we run a program called The Angel Tree that offers help in families where the dad or mom are in prison. This project first started in 1981 in Birmingham, AL (USA) and has since spread into more than 70 countries all over the world. 

Dozens of volunteers all across the Czech Republic unite their efforts (now for the Xth time) in a logistically varied and demanding project. The end product is Christmas gifts being delivered to more than a thousand children who have their mom or dad behind bars, according to what each child wants and with an attached letter from the parent who is in prison. 

Join the rush to spread Christmas cheer  and joy to families that need it the most.
Help us collect enough money for at least 800 gifts.

Gifts are always new, costing CZK 500 on average.
In 2020 we were able to deliver 1 355 gifts!

I would have never been able to give such a gift to my daughter and it made her so happy, she kept cuddling with it, now she takes her stuffed Little Mole to bed with her and says that she sleeps in bed with daddy. (incarcerated father)
 
You gave me courage to contact my family after several years and they’re soon coming for a visit. (incarcerated mother)
