I have a 4 year old son who is suffering from a very rare brain tumor. Because of all the medical bills for brain surger and chemotherapy we are not able to provide Christmas this year for the special little angel. He wesars a 5T in pants, 6 in shirts and loves all toys especially cars, trains, and any learning toys. He is not officially handicapped however he is slow in a lot of areas. Anything would help! Thanks for anyone who reads this!

Helping others while in your own time of need

Wow...I read some of the stories here and wish I personally could reach out and help others. I was listening to a television ad asking for warm socks, jeans, etc. for kids Christmas's here in the Reno area and told my husband that I hope those kids could get at least one toy for Christmas too ( toys are part of the magic of Christmas...warm clothes should be a yearly event, not just a Christmas event) and if only we had a spare $100 I'd go out and buy some toys for some kids. He made a comment that today, $100 would not go too far. I told him I'd buy BOOKS...they are magical, educational and fun and reading is a lifetime gift. Going to a thrift shop today to see if I can pick up some newer looking books to wrap and distribute. Found some last week for my nephew for less than $1.00 for 4 of them. Just thought I'd pass this on.

still looking for help

Still needing a little christmas help for my kids. They are teenagers but i would love for them to have a happy christmas instead of waking up to a empty tree. Everywhere i call they say my kids are too old so i have no where to turn. I know this might be asking for a miracle but i believe anything can happen. I still have faith that someone with a big heart can help.

Thanks

Help for my children at Christmas

Good Evening,
I am disabled I have to eventually have spinal surgery, and I have postponed surgery because my responsibilities are enormous.
I have a daughter who has a terminal Illness and has moved home with me as well as my granddaughter, I have observed my daughter and she appears to have given up; I'm careful not to upset her, my grandbaby is two years old.
Here is my reason for speaking with you, I have enormous expenses, hot water, gas, and electric, as well as rent, which I always deplete my budget for the month, and there is nothing left.
Christmas is coming and the baby needs toys, and clothes a 3T, my daughter wears boots with a hole in the back of her heel, I can't afford to buy her boots, and she needs clothes a 14 medium, and boots size 9m, she wears a jacket made of plastic, because I can't afford to buy her a wool coat, or a leather coat.
I don't want anything for myself, I just want my children to have a Happy Christmas, I cry a lot because my life is not good, and my disability prevents my hand dexterity, I can at times barely move my hands, or walk, and I won't improve until I have surgery an appointment is scheduled for 1/27/12 to see a specialist and have the spinal surgery performed, I am afraid but I can't function normally without the surgery.
And I'm concerned about my daughter, there is no cure for her illness, and I cry because her life was promised to her until this happened.
I often asked God why did he allow me and my children to suffer, because truly I have a good heart, I love everyone universally, and I have always been a good parent to my child, I'm hurting inside, because I was suppose to go first, and I worry about my condition, my daughters condition, and my grand baby, she needs us both.
I know there is a God, but why me and my family, why.

If Secret Santa's still exist, I know angels do. 

 

Thank you.

Rose

Family in need @ Christmas - can you help?

It's been a rough year for my family. IT was supposed to be a happy time when it all began, but we have been cast into misery and are flailing. I got married in May and the following day my Great Aunt passed away. A week later a friend of the family. and on the 15th of June my Mother. My great Aunt owned the house that me and my children had been living in for 4 years and after she passed my so-called family basically pushed us out. My husband had a small one bedroom apartment in New Jersey so we put what we could in storage and came here at the end of July.
When we got here we had trouble registering the kids for school because of the residency issues ( we have essentially 4 ppl in a 1 bedroom apartment, so the landlord would not give us the paper we needed until we moved) It took some time to save a whole new deposit and first months rent and the children ended up starting school 1.5 months later than the other students and we were broke and all of our bills lapsing, living on about 30$/week for grocery.
I applied for food assistance and now we get some help with that.
The costs for my mothers expenses is out of control and no one else is helping pay that. I look for work every day but haven't had much luck. My husband has a decent job and works everyday but we are still struggling.
I need to be able to get back to ohio to get our winter clothing and the rest of our things AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Even our christmas tree is there.
We have no livingroom furniture. No Curtains and one blanket & towel each.
My sons are 5 & 7 and love superheros, computers, video games, toy cars, legos, play-doh and anything to do with arts and crafts.
I am new to the area so I don't know places to sign up for help although I have tried looking on the internet. I do not have a phone.
If you can help or point me in the right direction to get help let me know please.
I really want my children to have a normal Christmas. After all the loss they have experienced... I can't bear to break their hearts.

you can contact me via email jmrdesign4u@gmail.com

Needing help badly for christmas

I'm in need for help for Christmas for my 2 kids. My husband was working a full-time job and we had no problem doing anything until he got hurt and hasn't been able to work since. We collect disability but its barely enough to pay the bills. I have a daughter age 13 and a mentally challenged son who is 17. Last year I was able to get for toys for tots but my kids are too old now so we are at a loss. I pray everynight that something will come up and the only that comes is a new day or heartache.  Yesterday i was at my wits end when my car broke down and i had to walk 3 miles home in the rain. I kept telling myself things have got to get better but the question to that is when.
