The holidays usually bring families together with joy, but sadly, not everyone enjoys that privilege.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get tied up in our daily lives throughout the year, and we sometimes really forget to slow down and think about the less fortunate people who are going through an internal struggle at home,\u201d Dara Mirjahangiry, founder of Sei Less, told amNewYork.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this holiday season, Mirjahangiry began planning to give back to the NYC community by partnering with Children of Promise NYC, a nonprofit organization that supports children and families affected by parental incarceration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During this holiday collaboration, Sei Less, the upscale Asian fusion celebrity hotspot, served a meal to about 40 scholars from Children of Promise, NYC.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Sei Less drew on its celebrity connections to surprise the scholars with appearances by NYC\u2019s Cash Cobain and Bay Swag.\n<\/p>\n

After Sei Less served the meal at the event, Cash Cobain and Bay Swag walked out from behind the curtains, and the room erupted. The scholars stared in shock; many couldn\u2019t believe their eyes, and tears began to fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scholars got to take pictures, get autographs, and even do a Q&A with the rappers!\n<\/p>\n

We got to speak to some of the scholars, \u201cI\u2019m so excited, I\u2019ve been with Children of Promise for three years, they show me how to handle things, and it helps my mental health, \u201d said Chelsea (12). \u201cChildren of Promise is like a second family,\u201d Tissany (12) told us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bay Swag, of Queens, has been in the same place as these kids; his father has been incarcerated since he was a teen. This work is close to his heart.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\u201cStuff like this means a lot. The holidays is when families come together, and a lot of people don\u2019t have that support system, so I\u2019m gonna try as much as I can to do as much as I can for the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon Content, founder of Children of Promise NYC, presented a community impact award to Mirjahangiry, Cash Cobain, and Bay Swag to express the organization\u2019s gratitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings intention, it lets them realize as children you\u2019re important, you\u2019re valued,\u201d\u00a0 said Mirijahangary.\n<\/p>\n

Evany (12) of Children of Promise, NYC had one thing to say to kids in her position, \u201cI would tell kids to never give up hope because you\u2019d never know when that light will shine bright\u201d, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all from the same place, if I can do it, you can do it!\u201d said Bay Swag.\n<\/p>\n
