Anam Cara Fasgadh Christmas Appeal: 50 Stars of Hope
Help Us Fund Gabriel’s Oasis ~ A Sanctuary for Grieving Families
Today, we are so proud to launch our Christmas Appeal: 50 Stars of Hope ~ our 50-day challenge to raise £15,000 to fund the annual costs for Gabriel’s Oasis, our new holiday caravan offering comfort, rest, and compassion for families facing life after the death of their precious baby, child, or young person.
This year, as we all prepare for Christmas, many families who follow our charity face the season with an empty chair, unopened gifts, and a silence where laughter should be.
We cannot take away their grief, but together, we can offer them something gentle …
a place of peace, a moment of calm, a sanctuary of love.
Be Part of Our Christmas Story of Hope
Just as the Nativity reminds us of light in the darkness and shelter in winter, we invite you to step into this story with us.
Every £300 raised will gift one week of sanctuary at Gabriel’s Oasis.
Every £300 gives a family:
🕊️ A warm, safe place to rest
🎁 A bespoke welcome pack full of comfort
🍲 Groceries tailored for each family with care
🧸 A Jomanda bunny to take home
🕯️ A little peace at the hardest time of year
Reaching our £15,000 target will allow us to offer 50 free breaks to families from near and far ~ 50 moments of hope, 50 weeks of sanctuary, 50 families wrapped in love, compassion and care.
Light the Sky With Us ~ 50 Stars, 50 Families
Each time we reach the £300 donation mark, a star lights up and is added to our virtual night sky.
Each star represents a family who will be able to breathe, rest, and remember.
When a star lights up, it will reveal a message of hope — a moment, a memory, or a dedication shining for all those missing someone special this Christmas.
Together, we will build a sky filled with love.
📅 A 50-Day Journey
Every day for the next 50 days, we will open a door on our Digital Advent of Hope.
Behind each door you’ll find:
✨ Real stories
✨ Symbols of comfort
✨ Messages from families
✨ Sneak peeks of Gabriel’s Oasis
✨ And the stars YOU light as the sky fills
🎄 How You Can Help
🌟 Donate — help us light a star
🔁 Share — help our night sky spread
💛 Dedicate — sponsor a week in memory of a beloved child
🎁 Fundraise — take on a Christmas challenge for one of our stars
Let’s Fill the Sky With 50 Stars of Hope and open Gabriel’s Oasis in 2026 as a powerful gift of comfort to families who need it more than ever.
Will you help us light the first star?
