Bringing Holiday Cheer

Making the holidays a little brighter for our Niemann-Pick families.

Submit your application by Monday, November 30, 2026.

About the Program

The Bringing Holiday Cheer Program began in 2020 thanks to an anonymous donor who wanted to help brighten the holiday season for families affected by Niemann-Pick disease by providing gifts for the entire family to enjoy, including the individual living with the disease, their siblings, and other household family members.

Since then, the program has continued to bring joy to families and offer support during a season that can also bring added expenses and stress. NNPDF would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who continues to make the Bringing Holiday Cheer program possible.

Who Can Apply

How it Works

Families complete an application and provide a link to a personally created Amazon Wish List. NNPDF purchases gifts and ships them directly to the approved families’ homes.

The program is designed to bring holiday cheer to the entire family! Wish Lists may include gifts for the individual(s) living with Niemann-Pick disease, their siblings, and other children and adults in the household. We encourage families to include items that will bring joy to everyone, understanding that siblings and other family members are also impacted by a Niemann-Pick disease diagnosis.

  1. Create an Amazon Wish List. Follow instructions to create an Amazon Wish List. Add a variety of items that would bring joy to your family or help meet practical needs. Please aim for a total Wish List value of approximately $400-$500 per family. This is a suggested list value and does guarantee the amount of assistance provided. Gift ideas include:
    •  
    • Fun family activities: Toys, games, books, crafts, puzzles, and activities the family can enjoy together
    • Clothing and everyday essentials: Winter coats, boots, gloves, pajamas, school supplies, backpacks, and other practical items for everyday life.
    • Gifts for family members: Gifts for siblings and other children and adults in the household who are not living with Niemann-Pick disease

  2.  Make your Wish List shareable. Follow Amazon’s Share Your List instructions to allow NNPDF to access your list. Select the View Only option when sharing and copy your Amazon Wish List link to include in your application.

  3. Submit your application. Complete the Bringing Holiday Cheer application by Monday, November 30, 2026. Be prepared to provide your contact information, household details, shipping address, and a link to your shareable Amazon Wish List.

  4. Receive your gifts. For approved families, NNPDF will purchase gifts and ship them directly to their homes through Amazon. Tracking information will be provided once gifts have been shipped.

PLEASE NOTE: Submitting an application and creating a Wish List does not guarantee application approval or that every item on your wish list will be purchased. Assistance is subject to program availability and funding. All applicants will be notified of their application status by Friday, December 4, 2026.
