Give the Gift of Joy: Christmas 2026

In Haiti, many of the children served by Reiser Relief face challenges most of us can hardly imagine. Yet every year, our partner schools come together to create something beautiful: a Christmas celebration filled with faith, food, music, laughter, and hope.

Through reenactments of the Christmas story, festive meals, singing, and dancing, students are given a chance to experience the joy of the season and the love of their community.

These celebrations serve more than 1,600 children across our six partner schools.

Why does this matter?

Because poverty doesn't just take away material things. It can also steal opportunities to celebrate, dream, and simply enjoy being a child.

For one day, children can set aside the hardships of everyday life and experience the wonder of Christmas. They are reminded that they are valued, cherished, and deeply loved by God.

The cost to make this happen is surprisingly small.

• $1,500 sponsors a Christmas celebration at one school
• $9,000 funds celebrations at all six schools
• Just $5.63 provides Christmas joy for one child

This Give to the Max Day, help us give more than a party.

Help us give hope.

Help us create memories that last long after the music ends and the decorations come down.

Because every child deserves a moment of joy. And every child deserves to hear the story of Christ's birth surrounded by love.

About Reiser Relief

Founded by Father Bernard Reiser, our mission is to empower and engage the people of Haiti, in Christ's name. 

We partner with religious sisters, clergy, and lay people on the ground in Haiti to accomplish our mission focusing on education and care for the elderly and vulnerable.

Since his first visit in 1996, Father Reiser built schools, a home for the elderly, and a clean water ministry in Cité Soleil. His legacy lives on through Reiser Relief, now supporting:

• 6 schools (1,600 students)
• 2 homes for the elderly (93 residents)
• 1 trade school
• 1 university scholarship program
