Christmas passes like any day of the rest of the year for the elderly in Guatemala, where they are often forgotten about or neglected by their families, who cannot afford to make Christmas dinners or give gifts. As you may know, making tamales each year during Christmas is a Guatemalan tradition: many of our elderly do not have the money to make them, and more often spend the holiday alone, without the spouses who have died or their children who have abandoned them.
Please consider giving a Christmas Tamale Basket to an elderly person this year! A Tamale basket costs $40. A small basket of food costs $15. Go to
http://www.mayanfamilies.org/HolidayFoodBaskets to find out more, and click on the link to donate. Make sure to specify "Elderly" in the
Other box of the donation page.
Thank you!
