Since the UAB Division of Student Affairs launched the Little Blazer Wishes Program in 2018, it has since helped more than 400 student families during the holiday season. Parenting students—both undergraduate and graduate, distance-learning and in-person—qualify for assistance.
In 2022, Little Blazer Wishes experienced a 15% increase in students requesting support, and thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we were able to provide presents and gift cards to these families. This year, we decided to open the giving season a little early with Holiday in July for Little Blazer Wishes. Gifts of every size help Little Blazer Wishes come true! Can we count on you?
"Thank you, Thank you, thank you. This is my last semester (well second to last) before I graduate in the spring and it has been a bit tough on me mentally. This program helps me in so many ways and it greatly helps alleviate some of the stress of the holidays. I am humbled and honored to be considered as a student who is also a parent and to have this resource available. I just want to wish a happy holiday or holy day to you and yours. Please know your kindness is bringing a lot of joy, lief, and hope during the holidays and beyond. I look forward to being able to give back once I am able. Thank you infinitely. A very happy mother and student."
"Thank you for sponsoring our family this year. I am a mother of four so our resources are limited. I am currently working on my masters to help better provide for my family. I am always a little sad on Christmas because I worry I didn’t get them enough. Thank you for helping and relieving some of the stress."
"Thank you so much for helping my family and my baby girl this year! I cannot express in enough words how grateful we are. This means so much to me and my husband, that we can give our baby the best 1st Christmas thanks to you."
"Thank you so much for making this Christmas so special for my son! Words cannot describe how thankful I am. I am a single mother and full-time physical therapy student. Your generosity has made a magical Christmas possible and brought so much joy to my family."
"Thank you so much for the wonderful gift for my children. Most of all, I appreciate you for taking your time out of the busy Holidays to make my family feel loved and special."
