We lost our jobs, have 3 kids and NO CHRISTMAS! HELP!

Christmas Help started this conversation

My husband and I lost our jobs around the same time. We'll soon be loosing our house and to make things even worse our 3 kids ages 12, 8 and 6 will have No CHRISTMAS! As if the embarassment of being evicted and having to tell there friends they can't go places because we have no money isen't enough...when it is back to school after the holiday's all of there friends will be asking what they got for christmas...they will have to say they didn't get anything because we have no money!!

Please help My husband and I are deperatly looking for work..but even if we get other jobs it is too close to christmas to come up with money for back house payments, car payments and Christmas for our kids!

Please, please if there is any help that you know of....all suggestions are welcome!

Thank you,

M.W.

So many of us are in need of help for Christmas this year . I know . Last year I didn't buy any presents for my daughter.

I have many Christmas pages for all of us to use for assistance. They go all the way back to Christmas 2006.

 Some are for free and low-cost presents and stocking stuffers. Some are for Christmas thoughts and some are for Christmas Charities to go to for food , presents and more.

 Please go to my home page and scroll down . You will see  a link to all of these pages.

I sincerely hope that we all get the desires of our hearts this year , and so do our families.

CHRISTMAS HELP!!!!!!Hello, Seems times are hard this year, And at my wits end and dont know what else to do. I have 4 kids, behind on bills, just took all the money i had to catch up the morgage before the bank took our home. Now im sitting 26 days till christmas and i have nothing to give my kids. There 15,13,8,6. My husband is disabled, and been waiting on Social security to kick in since aug 2, and of course there in no hurry, and take forever. Was hoping he would start getting payments before christmas so it would help, but no such luck. I have a job, but my hours have been cut back so much that im doing good just to keep my utilites on. It just makes me want to cry when i think of there faces on christmas morning. We have never been in this spot before, and actually every year we donate toys and have always taken tags off trees to buy other kids toys. Yet it seems like now that were the ones in need of help theres none out there. I have called everywhere, and most places apparently had a few day window to sign up for help, and no longer are taking names of kids. Any ideas of what i can do? or is anyone out there in a better place financially that could help, i know that sounds strange, cause i dont think people really help strangers out. But since i couldnt think of anything else i searched and found this site to post. Any ideas at all, please email me at Gayle0530@aol.com i would really appreciate it, thanks so much

Hi Bridget So many of us here on aidpage have wondered about what we were going to do for Christmas this year that I started an aidpage about it. I hope you find something that helps. Being disabled myself, I know the frustrations. Then for your kids dad to lose his job just makes it harder for your situation. Take care Holly(soulight) Here is the link
