Adopt A Family For The Holidays

nishalee started this conversation

Hi,

I am a single parent with 2 children.One is 1 and the other one is 7. I also am taking care of my niece that is pregnant and due in January 5. I am not working at the moment and on a fixed income.As we were moving my daughter and sons father got in a accident a (hit and run)in the uhaul and it was totaled.My sons father broke his hip and pelvis and my daughter was hospitalized also.So alot of my savings were spent on having to buy sum of the things that were destroyed.Since the accident my sons father's income changed so he cant help out like i need.I am behind on rent and bills but all that matters is that my children can have a nice christmas. If someone can help  please contact me if you know of any resources or anyone that can help our family.

Thanks,

Nishalee

I need help this year providing Christmas for for my children. I have fallen on hard times like so many others. I'm afraid I'm going to have to tell my children there is no Santa Claus today and add one more thing to there list of real world things before they are ready.

Please help me keep my children, innocent joyful children a little longer! God Bless and Thanks so much, even if you can only provide me with prayers because the Lord hears those loud and clear!

Merry Christmas too all!!

I have three children and am taking care of my niece there ages are:

boy - 10
girl - 9
boy - 4
girl - 4

anything would be a blessing because I have nothing for them, not even a tree.

I'm in the Houston Texas area

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TRYING TO PAY OUR MORTGAGE AND MONTHLY UTILITIES FOR A FEW MONTHS. I STARTED A NEW JOB BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO RESIGN BECAUSE MY SEVEN YEAR OLD HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY. THAT WAS THREE WEEKS AGO, IF YOU ARE LIKE US LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK THEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT CAN BE DEADLY TO YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. THEN HERE COMES THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS, NOT SURE HOW MUCH MORE STRESS WE CAN HANDLE. MY SON IS DOING WELL AND HE HAS AN OLDER BROTHER WHO IS 12. WE, LIKE ALL OTHER PARENTS JUST WANT OUR KIDS TO ENJOY CHRISTMAS AND MAKE HAPPY MEMORIES FOR THEM. WE DO ALOT OF TRADITIONAL THINGS IN OUR HOME THAT DOESNT COST ALOT, BUT THIS YEAR WE WONT BE ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS. I HAVE TRIED TO APPLY FOR FOOD STAMPS BUT THEY DENIED ME SAYING MY HUSBAND MAKES TOO MUCH MONEY, I WISH THEY COULD SEE THAT A 1000.00 MORTGAGE, UTILITIES, FOOD FOR FOUR, GAS PRICES,ETC. THERE IS NOTHING.... LEFT OVER.I AM TRYINHG TO FIND A NEW JOB, PRAYERS FOR THAT.. AND ASK THAT IF THERE IS ANYONE, ANYWHERE THAT WANTS TO HELP MY KIDS, FOOD, TOYS, FOR THE HOLIDAYS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM NOT ASKING FOR MONEY- I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT BUT JUST THAT MY KIDS NOT DO WITHOUT THIS YEAR. NO CHILD SHOULD EVER WAKE UP TO NOTHING ON CHRISTMAS MORNING..THANK YOU AND GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO TRULY CARE ABOUT OTHERS..

I have been looking for organizations that will adopt my kids for Christmas. Me and my husband are having a rough time tring to pay bills and get caught up. I currently lost my job. And I want to see smiles on my kids faces this year for the holiday. If anyone can please email me at WendySwamp@yahoo.com if you can help me and my family out. It is rough and all we can do is depend on God and what he has in store for us! I know he's able and will touch the hearts of some to help usa out this year doing this time.

if you live in king county go to this website http://www.ResourceHouse.info/WIN211/keyword_search.aspx click on the search key word tap and then type in holiday assistance. a list of resources where they give toys and food for the holiday. if you don't live in king county go to 211.org type in your zip code or city for the resources website in your county. I hope this help. Have a great holiday.

Check Craig's List and yard sales for used games and toys - sometimes you can even find them brand new and still in boxes.
