well there are maryland programs that can assit.  They will help with rent and even " christmas"  .  But if you ask me i think that you should be focusing on needs and not wants.  christmas is a holiday.  your life expenses should be priority.  if thats what u are teaching you children then i pray for them .

Hello all.  I hope this posting finds all who read it in good spirits, good health, and filled with Christmas-time cheer.  My name is DeLayne Stewart, I am a single father of three, and I need a blessing.  I was recently laid off from my job 2 weeks before thanksgiving shortly before moving into our ranch apartment.  All of my money went towards utilities, a phone, a refrigerator, a stove, and various moving expenses.  I was only making $10.95 per hour, but I was making too much too get assistance.  I have full custody of my two boys DeLavonte' and DeLayne Jr., and share custody of my 7 year old daughter, MeLayna, with her mom.  My children are very humble and not strangers to second hand or lightly used items.  My daughter told me she doesnt care if her toys arent "all the way" new... as long as they are " a lil " new.  If anyone can help with any used electronic items that a 13 year old and a 12 year old (boys) might be interested in PLEASE email me.  Any used Dora, Bratz, doll babies or girls clothing size 8-10 would also be appreciated.  As I have said we are a humble family and will feel blessed if ANYONE responds at all.  God Bless You All and Thank You.   HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I am a single mother of 3; all my paycheck used to go to bills; now I cannot even cover that much. My wages have started being garnished because my ex-husband decided to quit paying on his truck and it was repossessed. They were having problems tracking him down, so they have tracked me down. My pay was cut nearly in half and now, I cannot cover all my bills. I worry that I will get evicted come the 15th. I do not have the full rental payment. My gas was turned off, we have no heat for the winter and the house phone also was shut off. We watch a tv that only catches 3 channels. I am working, trying my best, I will not quit my job and sit back and let the government do it for me (It would be much easier to collect wellfare and unemployment, but I want to do for myself.). I have to teach my kids what is respectable.  I just need a little help. My kids will get nothing for Christmas. I just hope we still have a home. If anyone has any ideas or able to help in any way hunter61579 at yahoo.com

Single dad of 4.  Love my kids.  Their mom isn't with us anymore and I don't know how to do Christmas the way she did. It's been a hard year. My kids deserve more then I can give them.  So, if there is anyone who can help me I'd be very grateful.

I wish you and your family the best of wishes for the holidays and i hope you find someone that is willing to help you :) God bless you!

I am a single parent of 4 children ages 17, 16, 14, and 12. My children are good children that don't deserve some of the things they have had to deal with.  I was in an abusive relationship that I finally was able to escape not only for myself but for my children. Now it's just us and although I work, my income is just not enough. My 2 eldest children does receive child support, however, it's barely enough for them to eat with. I am trying so desperately to keep them from turning to the streets, trying to get "fast money", so I try to give them as much as I can. None of my children are selfish, they don't ask for expensive clothing, or expensive sneakers. They are easily satisfied. Sometimes they just want money to go see a movie with their friends and most of the time I have to tell them no, because I am making just enough to keep a roof over their heads and the utilities on. I barely can keep food on the table, but we manage. My children get good grades in school and volunteer at the Beacon After School Program in our neighborhood. I have to tell them that they cannot get anything for Christmas this year because I can't afford it, and this is hurting my heart.   Can someone please help me. They will probably say it's ok, but I know in their hearts, they are going to be hurt. I need help. If there is anyone out there that can help me financially, I can pay you back when I receive my Income Tax Return in February 2008. My word.  Please help if you can, you won't regret it.  Thanks for reading my letter.gmomtrapp@aol.com

I do the very best that I can for my children and sometimes fall short, but GOD knows my heart and my situation, and I pray really hard for things to get better, and I know that they will.

I don't have a picture to put on here. My name is Sue. I am a single mom. I got a divorce a year and a half ago and I lost everything I had. I have a son who is 13 and I have no money for Christmas. I found this site while I was doing my homework. I am in college trying to get an education so I can get a good job. I have worked for minimum wage for the past 20 years and it's just not enough. I believe in God and I know he showed me this sight for a reason. If this is really true and there are people out there who can help me please do. This time of the year is very depressing expecially when you have no money and no one to help you. Please help me if you can.

Thanks Sue

I am a single mother to three kids. They are 5,3 and 9 months. I am in school full time and work as much as I can. I didn't realize how fast Christmas was coming. I added another part time job but that helps me cover my bills and day to day things my kids need. I am worried about Christmas and what I can do for them. I have never had a problem providing for my kids before. And the feeling isn't so great. I am grateful for whoever even reads this. You can contact me at tcrawf42363@dcc.edu. That is my school email address. Thank you and may God bless anyone who can help me and my kids. Thank you, Tonya

I am 23 years old and i have 2 boys 5 and 3. i love them so much and try my best to take care of them. i am a singe mom and i work ft i pay rent and provide food (what i can afford). This year i thought that by this time i was going to get a promotion at my job. but it never happend. my pay doesnt even cover all the things i need to pay for my rent is always late but it gets paid because i need a roof over my kids heads.  so now with no promotion there might not be a christmas for my 2 boys. so if there is someone out there with a kind enough heart to help me it will be greatly apperciated by my children and Me

Hey everyone, this is my first time on here, I got this site off the computer. I really don't know what I am supposed to put, but here it goes; I am a single mother of three boys. Two of them are going to be adopted by me. I was blessed with the first one three years ago and the other a year ago. Their mother is my cousin who is addicted to crack cocaine and heroine. They were both born addicted to drugs and alcohol. But by the Grace of GOD they are maneging. I took them in because they are my family and I didn't want them to go into the foster care system. I am on a DSHS assistance and recieving food stamps. Because I'am going to school so I can give all my boys a better life. I just started college this Summer. I wasn't sure this was the right thing for me at first. but then I realized it was the right thing for my family. Iam doing the best that I can, its just this year is alot harder with three children, going to school, living of welfare (not for long.) and trying to keep the lights on and the gas for heat and  by my children what they need. but during the holidays every child deserves something special. This year I want to get them presents but finacially I am just over broke. My foodstamps will cover Thanksgiving and also going to the foodbanks, but most of the places that help with CHristmas are already full. if anyone knows of any places that can help me give my family a great Christmas I would be soooo greatful and Blessed. If any one can help please let me know @ www.myboohbah@hotmail.com

Thank you and God Bless

FOR ALL WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HELP FOR CHRISTMAS : IF ALL YOU WANT IS MONEY , I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER. IF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO HAVE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT REALLY EXPENSIVE TECHNICAL GIFTS , AND WITHOUT "WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS , AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT OR I'LL DIE" THEN . . . TRY MY CHRISTMAS AIDPAGES. THEY HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE OCTOBER , AND THEY WILL BE UP FOR A WHILE. THERE IS HELP WITH LINKS TO CHARITIES , MAKE YOUR OWN IDEAS ,AND MUCH MUCH MORE. I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A BLESSED , WONDERFUL , MEANINGFUL CHRISTMAS ,AND THAT YOUR FAMILIES WILL BE DRAWN TOGETHER BY LEARNING LOVE AND THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR. CHRISTMAS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY , OR THINGS , OR KEEPING UP WITH THE NEIGHBORS OR KIDS AT SCHOOL. WHEN WE ALL LEARN THIS , WE CAN HAVE AN OUTSTANDING CHRISTMAS NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES THAT I HAVE SEEN AT CHRISTMAS TIME , IS WHEN THE PARENTS CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE ABOUT WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT , AND THEY SHOW THIS TO THEIR CHILDREN. THE MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED ! ! ! ALL OF THE SUDDEN , YOUR KIDS HAVE A BETTER ATTITUDE TOO , AND YOUR FAMILY IS CLOSER AND MORE LOVING TO EACH OTHER ! ! ! SOULIGHT

Wow, tears just started flowing here. I'm too a single Mom of two boys. The older one is a bit understanding of our situation, the youngest is at the age where he's teetering on believing in Santa or not. He'll learn it by next Monday. I can't offer anything, for I am looking myself. Between lose of job of 10 years, got another job just to be told I wasn't working out (I think because I needed a day off to stay with sick son), went to EBaying and PayPal froze my account after I started bringing in money. But I am offering prayers for us who really need some help. God Bless us all!

My grandson enjoys cars, I would love to get him a big tonka truck, and my seven month grandson, any musical toy will help or 12 month pj's. And my son enjoys hearing music or video games, a new cd walkman will help. Thank-you and bless you. Happy Holidays, Sincerely, Cindy (mom and grandma)

Hi---In desperate need of help.I'm in process of disability.I have helped others (alot more then just her)and thought we where gonna be in the clear but by helping a supposed gf. n her son it has only got us into more debt due to her not paying her share---was not charging rent just a 1/3 of bills---now we are stuck for her long distance which didn't know she was making and maynot even have electric r water come Christmas.I'm not really able to work & my daughter is working p/t, but only getting a few hrs.,I do watch the grandson cause we can't afford daycare(he's 15 mths.).Thats the main worry my daughter his mom is older & my son is also 17,but truely would like to have a few presents for the youngest ,along w/electric and water in which we are fixen to get shut off.If we could just get help threw this time & get caught back up we will make it from there. We live in a very rural area in which help is very hard to find ---they usually have no funds available & never help on water.Please if any1 can help us threw this please respond.I've tried alot of goverment programs but due to such rural area hard to get help.All company's out this way know that we are under there thumb-sad but so true. It would greatly be Appreciated.

To all God's angels and Santa's helpers I am writing for the first time ever to ask for help this Christmas. I am a disabled single mother of 3. I have a mentally challenged, ADHD, and epileptic 8 year old daughter. My son is 10 and has ADD, and has been trying so hard this year to do well in school, and we were so proud of his first quarter report card that had all A's and B's instead of F's. I am so proud of him. My eldest daughter is suffering from an medical condition as well. On top of all this my mother was just diagnosed with cancer and has been in the hospital for the last 5 weeks. Our Thanksgiving was spent in the hospital. While at school all the children talked about their wonderful family thanksgiving dinner. My children had to say they had hospital food. Christmas looks as though it's going to be the same as Thanksgoving if not worse. I have always struggled but with God's help I was always been able to provide a decent Christmas, but this year I am so far behind in all of my bills and with going back and forth to Evanston Hospital and parking being $9 dollars a day has set me back even more. My entire income has went dtrictly on that. Fortunatley my landlord is giving me time, but the phone, lights, gas, and other bills are not so caring. I never thought I'd had to ask for help but this year I need it "despretay". It breaks my heart to think on chrismas morning the children will wake up and run to the tree like always and their will be nothing under it. I'm afraid it will brek their spirit and they will think that santa has fofgotten them. They will think they were naughy and not nice, they will start blaming themselves. When we say our prayers at night they always ask God to help those in need, In their letter to Santa not only do they ask what they want but they always ask for someone else's need as well. They are good kids, and I won't know how to explain to them why santa didn't come. I've always seen on the News Toys For Tots and how they give to those in need but I have no idea how to sign up for it. If anyone can help please contact me at in_need_angels@yahoo.com. Time is running out. Thank You and God Bless HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Debbie

Merry Christmas to all.

Here are a few links that might help. Also try the Salvation Army Angel Tree if it is not to late to register or contact your local Salvation Army and see if they have any assistance that might help you. Also there is alot of good information and links on many of the old posts. Just find ones similar to yours and see where they got help. Take care and God be with you and your family.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all! I am a married mother of 2 wonderful teenage daughters who have physical and mental disabilities. My husband only brings in 200.00 a week before taxes and I receive SSI Disability, medicaid, and foodstamps. This year has hit us very hard, and we are unable to buy anything for our girls for Christmas. Our oldest is Kalina and she just turned 15 on Dec. 4th. She has diabetes, ADHD, Bipolar 2 disorder, and was recently diagnosed with compulsive eating disorder. She has been in and out of the hospital so much in her lifetime that we jokingly tell the staff at our local hospital that she should have a permanent room with her name on the door. Our youngest is Amanda (Mandy for short) and she will be 14 on Jan. 11th. She has a heart problem (Mitral Valve Prolapse w/regurgitation), ADHD, Bipolar 2 disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. They are both on medications for most of these. I can't seem to find any help in our area for them for Christmas. Most places tell me that they don't meet the age requirements because they are too old. They still deserve a Christmas. We don't even have a Christmas tree or decorations. It just doesn't seem fair that they have to suffer because we have hit hard times. They are so kindhearted. Just this year at our church, our oldest requested Christmas help for a needy family she knows of, even though she knows we don't have the money to afford Christmas ourselves. She is always thinking of everyone else first. Our youngest wants to donate blankets to the homeless in our area, but we don't even have a way to do that for her. These giving children need help this year. If we can get ourselves back on our feet, hopefully by next Christmas, we can be on the other end and help a family or two out. Please consider helping us. Kalina is 15, and wears a 2-3X shirt and size 22-24W in pants. She is 5'10. She wears a size 11 1/2 to a 12 wide womens shoe. Amanda is 13, and wears a size 10/12 ladies stretchy jeans, a size M-L shirt, and a size 7-7 1/2 womens shoe. My email address is IceyBlue37@yahoo.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not asking for anything for myself or my husband, as we will be happy if our wonderful children will have a happy Christmas morning. Thanks in advance for your kindness and help!
