Our family of 4 (my husband, myself, and our two kids 5 & 3) moved to FL in 2010 and we lived there for 2-1/2 years. Times were pretty tough there, but we made it through. When we lost our home down there on September 8th we moved back up to Ohio in an attempt to not become homeless. My husband, George, thought he had a pretty good chance at a job up in Ohio. If we hadn't felt good about the job, we wouldn't have moved.

After we arrived in Ohio we lived in a motel for a bit trying to find a safe place to live within our budget - which was getting smaller and smaller. We finally found a place to live. Then the bad news came...the company that was going to hire my husband went into a hiring freeze and decided not to hire anyone else, including my husband. Now he had no job and we still had all the bills. We are currently falling further and further behind, while my husband is looking hard for another job.

Today, I called an agency that provides Christmas presents for kids - and I got more bad news. They won't help us because we didn't live in the area in August (we arrived in September). Now I don't know how we are going to provide a good Christmas for our kids.

This is a horrible situation to be in, worse than we've ever had it (and we've been in some tough places before). Our kids really deserve to have a good Christmas with all that we've been through this year. We've had to sell off many things to pay our bills, some of the items that my son (5) really loved.

If I could raise at least $100 I could bargain shop and find some things for my kids; more would be great.

Thank you very much for reading and God Bless!

  • Thank you so much! This brought tears to my eyes. It has been such a tough journey with young kids. They feel the stress from what is going on and my son has been crying and praying to God that he won't have to grow up...it just breaks my heart. I so want them to have a good Christmas this year. God Bless you for your very kind gift. We really appreciate it.

  • I hope this is just the start of a ball rolling that will include a God Christmas for you all and better news on the job front for your husband. No matter what happens, remember you've got each other and all your friends and family. x Hugs
