Wish List: How You Can Make a Difference

Thank you for your interest in supporting Bellewood & Brooklawn! Your generosity directly impacts the lives of the youth in our care. Here are some meaningful ways you can contribute:

Holiday Needs

The holiday season is a special time of giving, and we invite you to make it brighter for the children at Bellewood & Brooklawn. Many of our youth have never experienced a traditional Christmas and will open presents on Christmas morning in our cottages for the first time. We appreciate your help in fulfilling their holiday wish lists.

    • Holiday Wish List: We serve children aged 6-18 on our residential campuses and all ages in our other programs. Please remember that Santa always brings NEW gifts! View our holiday wish list here.

To help make the holidays brighter for the children and families we serve, please get in touch with Santa’s Hotline at (502) 753-5509 or email jgunter@bellewoodandbrooklawn.org for more information.

Cottage Housewarming

Our cottages welcome new residents daily, providing young individuals with a safe and nurturing environment. You can help us transform these cottages into homes by donating housewarming items. We are in need of:

  • Kitchenware & Appliances
  • Bedding & bathroom linens
  • Living room staples

If you’d like to help us create a comforting home for our residents, view our housewarming wish list here. Thank you for your generosity!

Calming Boxes Wish List

At Bellewood & Brooklawn, we are committed to creating a safe and cherished environment for our youth. Each child receives a welcome basket and has the opportunity to “shop” for items to fill their calming box. These boxes contain items like Play-Doh, weighted blankets, and other soothing items to help them reconnect when feeling overwhelmed.

  • Calming Box Items: We need your help to stock our “store” with calming box items. View our calming box wish list here.

I appreciate your support in making a difference in the lives of the children we serve!
