A Family In Need
12/24/2009 at 11:12 AM
I have been wrestling with the idea of posting this, but I just have to try. There is a family, a mother and 3 kids, a girl that is 11, a girl that is 9 and a boy that is 4. She has recently become single through very tragic circumstances and was needing a place to live and moved into my parents basement suite. We took her a little something for Christmas and when I went in I saw they had nothing for Christmas, and I mean NOTHING, I gave them my fake tree that I am not using because I got a real one this year, and am trying to get a little bit to give them, but I don't have much. Their cupboards are bare, there are no gifts at all. She is far from family and said that her family is not in a position to help.
Is there anyone on ebrandon that can help? I don't know if posting this is a good idea, but I just really want to help them out. The mother is beyond stressed and broke into tears easily just talking about it, and has no idea that I am doing this. I am not really asking for money, although that would help, I am just wondering if anyone even has some gifts, or groceries, just a little bit, that would help to give them a good Christmas? If this is a bad idea, I am sorry, I just couldn't sleep last night thinking about them, thanks everyone! Merry Christmas!!
