Help our local non-profit before the end of this year! With only two days left, we wanted to make all those willing to support CYS aware of the benefits for you in donating! With the CARES act currently in place, donors can deduct 100% of their gift against their 2020 adjusted gross income. For example, if you have $1 million of income, you can give $1 million to a public charity and deduct the full amount in 2020. The new deduction is only for cash gifts that go to a public... charity. Information provided by the New York Times. The authors of the CARES Act (a two trillion-dollar federal stimulus response to COVID-19) rightly recognized the desire of individuals, foundations, and businesses to support non-profit organizations in this age of economic hardship. As a result, donors can immediately enjoy new added tax benefits for aligning their dollars with their values. Here’s how: The bill increases the cap on annual giving from 60% of adjusted gross income to 100%. For corporate charitable giving the bill raises the annual limit from 10% to 25% of taxable income for corporations. When thinking through end of the year choices, please consider donating to CYS, so that we can continue to support those in need within our community!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas to you from CYS!

At CYS, we understand the holidays are a difficult time for many families. We wanted to share this post and let all those know who need support, we are here. Please reach out at 949-303-9016. It was the night before Christmas and Santa was busy making his rounds He was light on his feet making sure he didn't make a sound.... But he took notice that some homes didn't have that Christmas Glee. so he decided to stop because he thought that just can't be. He crept in a mommy's bedroom and stopped dead in his steps, as he saw a little angel hugging his mom as she slept The little angel looked up and cried " oh Santa you are finally here!! I've been waiting for you to help me let Mommy know I am near". Santa picked up the wee angel and asked him " What can I do? I'm just a simple toy maker I can't make your mommy's dreams come true". So the two of them sat and they sat for a while until the tiny angel jumped up and screamed with a smile. "let's leave her a sign a beautiful sign from above, let her know it's from me sent from heaven with love"!!! So Santa dug and he dug deep, in that big glorious bag that was filled with lots of treats . He pulled out a beautiful white feather that look like it was made out of snow. And he thought such a beautiful sign that only a grieving mother would know. He placed it on her nightstand and kissed the angel on his head. Then placed him next to his mom as she slumbered in bed. I think I'll stay here with Mommy and visit her in her dreams tonight, She misses me dearly and needs to know I'm all right. Santa made his way to his sled, And wiped a tear from his eye. He fell to his knees and managed to cry. Merry Christmas to all the grieving mothers across this big land. And let it be known your angels are with you holding your hands.... Written by Joe’s mommy
