  If your family is adopted, you will be contacted via email.  At that point, your sponsor family will receive your information and further communication will be between you and your sponsor family.   If you are not adopted, you will receive a message no later than December 15th with information on Alvin HOPE's gift distribution procedure.   

Can I email my documents?

No, we do not accept electronic documents at this time. You or a representative for your behalf must attend one of our in person registration events with all required documentation in order to be added to the Giving Tree and be eligible for sponsorship.

I listed the wrong size or want to update my child's Wish List.

Due to the high number of applicants, we can not update individual Wish Lists. Should your child get sponsored, you can let your sponsor know of the changes. 

Can I get help if I do not live in Alvin ISD?

No, we limit the number of children we are able to assist by creating boundaries. Please check with your local district for resources available to you. 

My child is homeschooled or not old enough to go to school. Can they still register? 

Yes! If your address is zoned to Alvin ISD, you can register your child, even if they are homeschooled or too young to be enrolled. 

My child goes to college, but still lives at home. Can I still sign them up?

No, children age out of the program when they graduate high school. 

Why did my family not get sponsored?

While we try to get every child sponsored, it is just not possible. Things you can do to better your chances of getting help are:

• Getting your registration paperwork in early. They earlier you get us your documents, the more likely you are to get chosen. 
• Use the "Tell Us About Your Family" section to attract potential sponsors about your situation and family. 
• Be realistic about your child's Wish List. 

What happens if we do not get sponsored?

Parents of children not sponsored will be invited to a private event where they can "shop" at our Toy Store for their child(ren) at no cost.  In addition to their gifts, parents will also receive stockings, stocking stuffers, wrapping paper, gift tags and tape. Gifts at this event are based on donations made to the organization and not individual Wish Lists.
