I Am trying to get some assistance for christmas. I work fulltime who work with low income families but this year we as a family have struggles. my husband was laid off of work for three years and we struggled and bills just got further and further behind. we turned to payday loans to make ends meet etc. i had like 10,000 worth medical bills,etc due to surgery i had to have on my feet.. everything just piled up. I was in debt about like 40,000. we in process of our home in foreclosure, in process if losing vehicles. so close to living on the street. we are a family of six. still four girls at home of ages 12,8,5,and 2. I asked my inlaws for assistance for past due bills,etc and they took care of past due bills but with strings attached. they are conservatorships and all money were earn is turned over to them and they pay our current util bills,mort, van payment,etc and we have to call them for money for groceries,etcand keep receipts. we no longer have access to our paychecks as my husband has just started a new job but for now we do not have any extra money. in past inlaws gave us money for christmas for girls but due them taking over our finances and paying past due bills the girls will not have any christmas this year. I feel bad about this but know I had to sacrafice for my children and husband so just checking to see if there is any assistance out there. sad we have checks to show what we earn but do not see it. I hate asking for assistance especially when I work as a casemanager for disdavanted families but i guess we all do struggle. I do not qualify for food basket as they use your income which we do not have anymore. I made some bad decisons with finances in past and do not regret what had to do to get some assistance but do not want the kids to suffer. we will not be able to get a tree either. i do have to be thankful though that we have roof over our head, food,clothing. all the necessities we need to get by but will be a dismal christmas for our family. do have any assistance out there. please contact me at email rammwm@bresnan.net
thank you and god bless and hope to hear back from you. I would be interested in the adopt a family for christmas. if have any ideas please email me
