The Gold Star Christmas Project

Americans all across the nation partner with us to give thousands of Gold Star children Christmas gifts out of love and gratitude for their parent's sacrifice. Join us in helping each child of a fallen military service member receive gifts from a #GratefulNation!

They now spend every day and every holiday without their service member... 

because their family was willing to make that sacrifice for our freedoms.

Through the Gold Star Christmas Project, we deliver joy to thousands with Santa sacks full of gifts to families of fallen heroes, easing their holiday season and offering ongoing support. Your donation funds these efforts, recognizing those killed in action, killed in training, active-duty accident, service-connected illness, and PTSD Suicide. Join us in making a lasting impact on Gold Star children and honoring their heroes’ sacrifices.

10 Years + of Participation in the Gold Star Christmas Project

A decade of impacting America's Gold Star Families. 

“For nearly a decade now, my daughter and I have consistently been served and loved by the entire team at Believe With Me. We learned about this organization after we lost our hero, SFC Jonathan Dozier, in Iraq. I’ll never forget the very first package my daughter received from Believe With Me at Christmas time when she was eight. Carefully and excitedly, she untied a red silk bow from a burlap sack to find a small American Flag and a Christmas note of hope from a team of volunteers we’d soon get to know. I last spoke with Jon on Christmas day just weeks before he was killed. He had recently shared a photo of his unit eating a Christmas meal together before heading out on what would sadly be their final mission. Christmas has always been bittersweet because of this, and I’ve always tried to use this season to teach my daughter about the gifts of gratitude. Receiving Christmas gifts from Believe With Me was - and is - a reminder that Jon’s memory is never forgotten.”
