Three piglets and one big happy family

Farm animals are valuable, long-lasting gifts to our sites. Denys and his family of nine all rely on their family farm. Everyone in his three-generation household chips in, whether it’s helping in the garden, fishing, or raising the animals.

Denys and his sister, Anhelina, are blessed with sponsors through Chalice’s Ternopil site in Ukraine. Even so, the war has caused tremendous hardships for every family. A little joy can go a long way.

Thanks to the generous donors who chose three pigs from our gift catalogue, Denys’s family would now receive three additions to enhance their farm and livestock.

Since pigs are low-cost and a high-return animal investment, they make excellent gifts. For Denys and his mother, Natalya, joy came in the form of three pink, squealing, curly-tailed gifts.

“I want to thank you for the gift of three piglets that I have received through the Chalice gift catalogue,” Natalya says. “It is a big support for our family.”

When they got the piglets, everyone in the family was excited. “It is so cute to see when they discuss how to take care of the piglets,” Natalya says. His family was thrilled with their new farm friends.

Denys has always been an animal lover; he is already getting a little slack on discipline. “Denys even wants to let them go in our garden,” Natalya says, “but granny doesn’t like that idea.”

Not only do these pigs bring them joy, but their family can breed them and share their wealth with their neighbours and the wider community. “You have brought joy into our home,” Natalya says, “besides the material support.”

This is a gift that multiplies and makes an impact on other families as well. You can choose from animals, educational supplies, nutrition gifts, and more!

Chalice’s sites are provided with a list of items they may use to guide their requests. This program benefits both sponsored and non-sponsored children. A broad range of categories in the catalogue and sites use this funding opportunity to supplement activities and reach beyond the sponsorship program.

By purchasing a gift from our gift catalogue, you will help to provide a better future for a child, family, and the whole community.
