help a single poor mum at xmas

well I didn't even know sites like this existed what a great idea! 

Well suppose I better tell you what im raising money for ....  im trying to raise for my best friend of 15 years for her and her children to have a good xmas ...... why? Well the reason I want to do this is that she is out of work  as theres just no jobs around our area shes a single mum of an 10 year and 17 month old shes spent years with well theres only one way to explain it the worst bad luck ever she sadly lost a 7 month old baby girl unexpectedly due to gastroenteritis then her dad to bowel cancer she doesnt have much support and gone thru a terrible time. Even her day to day life is a struggle because of being out of work  usually she goes without to feed her children shes on benifits so only money she gets is that and on nov the 1st was her 10year olds big 1 0 birthday poor lad didnt even get a cake because moneys that tight me as her bestfriend help her out as much as I can but with 5 mouths to feed myself its not easy to she would go mad with me for doing this she doesnt like to ask just struggles on (she wont even ask for food parcels even tho shes desperate and their availible in our area) it would be lovely for them all to enjoy a xmas for once where they dont have to go without and dont have to worry about the heating or food :) 

Anyway this is my way of trying to help a family I see is in need hope we manage to raise enough to at least feed them at xmas and over the holiday period thanks for reading
