For 6 years, The Carlson Law Firm has been delivering Christmas miracles to deserving individuals and families across Texas.

They hand-select families and individuals who have shown tenacity in difficult circumstances but could still use a little help during the holiday season. Then, they deliver essentials, from furniture and appliances to daily necessities.

“We’ve always believed in the transformative power of giving,” Managing Partner Craig Carlson said in a news release. “Each year, through Carlson’s Christmas Miracle, we have the privilege of touching lives, making a difference, and truly embracing the spirit of the holidays. We encourage everyone in our great state of Texas to nominate deserving families who, despite life’s ups and downs, continue to inspire us all with their perseverance.”

Last year's recipients were a family working to get on their feet after the family home was destroyed in a fire, a single mother whose teenagers were experiencing bullying, a mother of four young children who was starting over after leaving two violent relationships, and a single mom who couldn't find steady work after losing her job during the pandemic.

You can help with this year's mission by nominating an inspirational family or person at carlsoncares.org, or by contacting Kazia Conway at kazia@carlsonattorneys.com. Be sure to detail why they think they are a good candidate and what types of needs they have.

The deadline to submit nominations is Oct. 18, and recipients will be notified the following week.
