Twas the night before Christmas
At Neediest Kids’ house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
For Neediest Kids
Had done what it does
Helped thousands of children
But only because
Our funders, our friends
Our board of directors
Generously gave
Their time and their treasures
Along with our schools
We enabled so many
To obtain all the basics
Though they had not a penny
Allie got glasses
So now she could read
For Dave, a warm jacket
He surely did need
Thanks to your help
Neediest Kids did bestow
A new backpack to Jill
And sneakers to Joe.
Heartfelt thanks goes to you
Who helped kids in need
Get the basic essentials
So in school they’ll succeed
