Saving Christmas for Sixty Children

Attorneys Jon Hollan and Sam Aguiar Rally Employees Together To Help Children At Christmas

In the days leading up to Christmas 2024, local attorneys Sam Aguiar and Jon Hollan of Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers received an urgent call: a significant oversight threatened to leave the children of Chrysalis House in Lexington, Kentucky, without Christmas gifts. For years, these children had been recipients of an angel tree program. However, in 2024, the liaison responsible for coordinating donations had left their position, which went unnoticed until December 20th. Upon arriving to collect the gifts, Chrysalis House administrators were met with empty hands, with the gift distribution scheduled for the very next morning.

Upon learning of this situation at 2:30 PM on December 20th, Aguiar and Hollan sprang into action. Mobilizing their teams from both the Louisville and Lexington offices, they organized a rapid response. Staff members were assigned to specific age groups and dispatched to purchase gifts suitable for their designated recipients. By 5:55 PM, five vehicles from the firm arrived at Chrysalis House, each brimming with presents ranging from remote-controlled cars and dolls to sporting goods and electronics. In total, more than $5,000 in gifts filled the facility’s standard room.

The following morning, the children joyfully unwrapped their presents, their smiles and laughter filling the room. This heartwarming event exemplifies the firm’s commitment to community support through its “Sam Cares” initiative, which focuses on charitable giving and volunteerism. By stepping in during a critical moment, Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers ensured that the children of Chrysalis House experienced the magic of Christmas, reinforcing the importance of community and compassion.

Chrysalis House is dedicated to providing family-oriented treatment and recovery support for women with substance use disorders and their children. Their comprehensive programs aim to empower families on their journey to recovery.
