SPOKANE - Spokane - I am a single mom to a couple of great kids. I am currently out of work. Doing everything I can to try to make a few dollars to keep the bills up to date. The power bill is about $150, but there isnt any energy assistance available and I know we'll be getting a shut off anyday. I have already gotten help from the food bank for the last month and cannot go again for some time. I am hoping someone could help with a voucher for some groceries? and or gas? I will be getting
food stamps soon, but the cupboards are bare. Everything I have I give
to the kids. Also we would like to find a used tv, and some rugs to throw on our cold bare floors. Thanks and god bless.

Mesa - I am a single mother of 4 children, ages 2, 5, 8,
and 9. I recently left my children's father, because of domestic abuse, it took me a long time to get up the courage to leave and try to take care of my family on my own. We have been doing ok so far, however it has been a struggle. I work full time, but I seemed to be a little more behind each month. With Christmas fast approaching, I am at a loss for
what to do. My kids are awesome, they get good grades in school, they
are always helping each other(and me), they never complain about us all
having to share a bedroom, and they make me want to get up everyday to
make a better life for them. Their father is in and out of their lives,
he does not support them finacially or emotionally, and has little contact with them. I just feel that they deserve to have a Christmas. As things stand right now, my rent is 12 days past due, and I will be
paying it this friday. Then, I will need to keep my next 2 paychecks fo!
r December rent. I wish with everything that I am that I will be able
to do something for them, but I know that there is just no way, and
that is not fair for them. They have been through alot recently, and they
deserve more then I can provide for them. It easy to tell them "mommy
doesn't have money for christmas", and they easily accept that, because
they say "we have been really good this year and santa will make sure
we have christmas". I don't know what to say, I am trying to keep them
innocent in this crazy world, and telling them santa doesn't exsist,
while they still believe, seems wrong. I am hoping to find someone out there, who if they have extra, would be willing to help me with christmas
presents for my kids. Just new clothes and shoes would do so much for them, and help them to feel better about themselves. Thank you.

Phoenix - First of all I am livivng in very crowded conditions ( 2 adults 1 six yr old boy and a 8month baby all in a 2 room old
duplex) two room meaning 1 living room/kitchen/dining room and a small bedroom/bathroom, needing a bigger and affordable place to live AND now the state is taking my foodstamps because i supposedly make too much
money but in reality i only bring home half of what i make due to paying
child support and paying my own health insurance and other deductions, I
also pay a car note and insurance so that we can have reliable transportation, for school and work (i work for Arizona State University) so I
am trying to support myself and i do have a career. My 6yr olds sperm donor is a dead beat and pays no child support and i pay child support for my 14yr that stays with his father. If nothing else i really just
want help with food and possibly gas money until i can get a raise and
catch up to get on my feet. I am 31 yrs old and have been strugglin!
g since I was 17 yrs old. It is getting very tiring and I am on the
verge of giving up because I can never seem to get a leg up and just when
i think I am going to get a little ahead something drastic happens and
knocks me back down to zero, oh and thats the balance in my bank
account right now zero! This struggling is getting old and I just want to be
able to breathe and relax and I want room to breathe and relax and I

Fitchburg - Fitchburg- Here's my story: I'm 21 years old, and I have a beautiful 2 year old little girl. My daughter and I were in a
shelter for more than a year because my mothers place of 19+ years
caught on fire and we lost everything. Thankfully, I have my own apartment
now. I work per diem in Boston,Ma and I go to a community college
part-time. It's been really hard on me since I haven't been getting any
shifts to work so it has left me with no money. So in the meantime I'm
currently searching for a new job. I can barely afford my rent, I have no
transportation especially during the winter season and my daughters
asthma seems to trigger. She's not in daycare because I don't a voucher and
daycares just too expensive. But all these things can be put on hold.
I just want my daughter to have a nice Xmas. I would be grateful if
someone could help me out this year. I'm searching other places in my area
like local churches that might be a help but I haven't found anyt!
hing yet. Toys that are age related, money, books, clothes size 4T-5T
and even gift cards are all welcomed. I can't and won't be picky since
I'm in need of the assistance. I can only be thankful to the one person
who reads this and decides to help us out. God Bless and have a great
holiday!

Chaska - We have just a couple of requests, but first I would like to introduce you to my family. In Sept 2006 we were evicted
from our apartment when they changed managers. From there we went to live
with our good friends. We were there until March 2007. From thier home,
we had to move our family of 6 into a small one room motel. We stayed
there, paying $220/week until November. In November, we found a
wonderful landlord that had an open 3 bedroom in a 2-unit building. He was
willing to look beyond our past ond focus on the future.
Because we had lived in a hotel for so long, we werent able to save
up much money for a deposit. We sold what we could and were able to
come up with the deposit. He was willing to take weekly payments for the
month of November but wants December's rent on time. As of the first we
will still owe $471 on December's rent. So that is our first request,
the amount of $471 to get us caught up so we dont have to move our
family back into a hotel.
The second request is for a few small items for the children. We
missed the sign up for Toys for Tots, as the distribution center for our
area stopped taking aplications in October. The local agency had an
adopt a family program, but we missed that too. We have three boys, ages 1,
4, and 8 and a girl aged 3. The oldest was just diagnosed with ADHD.
We dont want anything extravegent, just a little something that they can
open.
Our third and final request is for assistance for food. The local
food bank only allows for one pick up a month, we ARE on WIC, but dont
qualify for food help. They say my husband makes too much money, but
they look at gross and not the fact that over half of his check is gone to
taxes and insurance.
If anyone out there is willing/able to help in any way, it would be
immensly appreciated! We would even be willing to trade for help. I am
a good cook/baker, would be willing to do your laundry, clean your
home, etc...or my husband is pretty handy with car repairs if you need
something done. We just want to get thru the next couple of months, so
that when the new year comes, and taxes come back, we will be on our feet
again. Thank you and God bless.
Thanks in advance for any help, large or small, that anyone would be
willing to offer.

Gilbert - Warm greetings and may God bless you I am a mature, disabled, single gentleman that because of many health
problems can no longer take the necessary care of my home that it
requires.
I am looking for a kind person that is willing and able to come in and
help me with the dusting, sweeping, mopping, etc., basically overall
general housekeeping chores.
I just cannot maintain my home any longer and I will hopefully be
selling it soon and moving to an assisted care facility where I will not
have such a burden constantly worrying me.
I am praying that a very kind and caring Christian individual will
respond to my plea for help.
I wish that I could pay someone for their hard work, but unfortunately
I must try and survive on a very small Social Security Disability
monthly income only and I have nothing left after I pay doctors,
prescriptions, insurance, utlities, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read my request and whom ever you
choose to help, may God bless you richly for your kindness and generosity.

Christmas gifts and Christmas dinner. We do not have a tree and although my 14

living in a extended stay hotel in The COlony. My fiance and I both
just lost our job and have had trouble finding work. Its going to be
impossible to provide much of anything for my kids this CHristmas. We have
a 7 year old son, daughters who are 5 and 2, and a 9 month old son.We
do get food stamps, so food will not be a problem. Just the toys and
clothes they have requested will be hard. Any and all help will be so
greatly appreciated.
My son really wants a video game system (PSP,
PS1, etc.....) NOT a new one...I repeat NOT a new one...would rather
have a lesser expensive one so that they get more altogether. Dont want
to get a new one and then donator have nothing left for the other kids,

Chesapeake, Va. - Being a low-income single mother of two with no
child support coming in to help out, it has become very hard to make ends
meet. My childrens' fathers have both freshly been released from
prision I didn't make the best choices years ago) and I have no family to
support my downfall. I tend to bounce bills around and put what I can
where I can. After months of doing that and the holidays approaching, I
have found myself in the worse pre-holiday situation. In attempting to

Chesapeake, Va. - I have been helping dogs ands cats in need for
years now ... but my spouse left, as he decided he hated it ... so my
disability income has been all I can use anymore - thus, not much able to
be done eventually ... However, I am so far behind now, in ALL my
bills, I cannot seem to get a hold ....I am afraind I will be losing my
phone next week = $995, and my oil heat is about to run out = $750,
desperately need to purchase pet food ( as well as some human groceries) =
$600-700, and have NO gas ... (And we won't even mention, Christmas)
...
If anyone could see their way to help me back with some offset here, I
would be SO grateful .... I have ALWAYS helped others and now I find
myself really in need of help. myself ... I am scared ....

Whitman, Ma. - I hate having to do this but this holiday season i am more desperate than ever. This is my daughters first "real"
christmas. She was born last year on December 22. So her first christmas she
was just a little bundle of joy, literally. I am looking for any money
donations possible, ive always felt horrible asking others for money but
since its come to this theres not much i can do. I have been searching
for a job and trying to get my daughter, Bria, into daycare and it has
all been so stressful. I would be using the money on her birthday,
christmas and most definetely to buy her some new clothes. So mainly this
money is for her, it isnt even for me... i might get an oil change in
my car but that would be it. The two of us have been through a LOT this
past year, her father and I ended our relationship on a very bad
note... im living back at home with my mother and we do not get along, not
one bit. I love her to death but we just seem to stress each other o!
ut and the whole money thing only makes it harder. She wants money
from me for living here and i never have any to give to her. Im young,
only 21.. and im just trying to do what is right for my daughter. We are
going to check out a daycare tomorrow and the job search has been going
on so its not like i sit around and do nothing. Im trying my hardest to
be the best mom i can. I love my little girl, she is my world. So any
help would be totally appreciated by the both of us.
Thank you.

Lynn, Ma. - I am a 58 yr old disabled vet living in Ma. Just recently widowed. I was separated from my wife and my 16yr old son who
were living in NH. My wife died Oct 23, 2007 and my son is now with a temp guardian in NH. My car needed repairs worth more than the car itself so that is gone. I need to get back to NH to see my son and get some
things from storage there. I have no winter clothes here with me. More
important is seeing my son to determine what to do next. I will move
back there eventually.
I live on disability. After rent, and food each month I have nothing
left.
I would like to rent a vehicle to go to NH for a day but I have no
credit cards.
I would need about $300. to secure a vehicle with my debit card but I
have no one to ask. I have never felt so helpless. Knowing that my son
is there without his Dad is tearing me apart.

Billerica, Ma. - My son who is 19, has had a bad stroke of luck, he's in school, and has been helping us with our mortgage, and food,
(we've been a month behind)
he has a car thats going to die,and not pass inspection,(catalytic
converter) and a host of other problems, this car took every cent he had.
he has till nov 30 to inspect it.
with that said, do you know anyone who just wants to donate a car to
charity? or has one from a relative that can't use it anymore, that runs?
its a long shot for him, but im praying for a miracle, it gets him
back and forth to the train station, as well as picking up his sister from
daycare. its not going to last the month,or winter. if you know
anyone who has a vehicle, please let me know.
or.. if anyone has a winter coat that would fit him even, he cant
afford to buy any clothes, he's wearing a thin fleece jacket. I would
appreciate it. he doesnt know ive done this, and i would like to surprise
him, thanks, god bless..

Paxton, Ma. - Merry Christmas, I am the mother in a family of
five. My husband works very hard for my family and we do not get to see
him that much. My children are ages 16 (F), 9 (F) and 4 (M). I have
medical problems that are keeping me from working and helping out with
bills therefore my husband does it all for us. I am not looking for
anything for my husband or I just to put some smiles on our childrens faces on
Christmas morning. We could use clothing, toys, food or if you are
willing to donate some money I would be glad to send you receipts to show
what your money bought. Thank-you and God Bless

Sterling, Ma. - Hi I am a new mom to a 4 month old baby boy born in July. Both me and my husband work full time but he is about to get
laid off for the winter. I had a tough pregnancy I was out of work for
months on bed rest and we fell behind on alot of our bills. I just want
to give my son a nice christmas regardless if he knows what is going on.
Its more for things he needs rather than things he wants. Clothes 6-9
months that are warm would be great. A winter hat and coat because they
grow out of them so quickly. Any help would be great God bless I hope
everyone has a great holiday season

Oxford, Ma. - I feel helpless and low for having to ask for anything. Every year since I can remember even as a child we always helped
a family in need. It is something my parents instilled in us. We
always went to a store or mall and selected "Angels" from the tree and gave
them a Christmas. This year it is so different. I am in tears as I
write this. My husband of 33 yrs. has always supported his family as he
is trying to do now. This year at this time his job is down to-- last
week 22 hrs and this week 20.50 hrs. This is hurting us so badly. I
can count on one hand the days that he has missed from work in all of
the 33 years we have been married. He always works and even does so on
side jobs. His company is really hurting this year. On top of all we
have obtained custody of our two grandsons. They were very severely
beaten by their Mom. ( All of this is verifiable) I am a grandmother now
raising her grandsons as her own. The father of the boys is our !
own son whom we have tossed per say to the curb as he is (hard for a
mother to say) worthless and a loser. He has never taken responsibility
for his sons. They do not deserve this and that is why we have them.
We spent our savings on getting the things they absolutely needed.
Nothing that was not needed and if you knew them or anyone near us they
could tell you the same. The mortgage and utilities (total electric)
are eating up what he is making right now. I think this is the hardest
thing I have ever had to do in my life but here goes. "Is there anyone
out there who can help?" We did not ask for this nor are we proud to
have to ask for help but the situation is that right now. The boys are
11 and 8. PLEASE !!!
Do You know how I feel?
