hi my name is zoe and that picture is a picture of my 15 yo son.  The past few years have been difficult and readiing other posts so many others seemed to be in dire straits.  I have had a diagnoses of bipolar 2 which is that i cycle between depression and for me severe anxiety. i have been treated for this for 11 years and have worked and provided well for most.  I have some very early onset arthritis which has been helped with surgery and rehab.  two years ago i walked in a robbery and was assaulted and  never been able to get it back to where it was. i have only 1 living family member and love him dearly.  i started to work again last year and in a freak accident i fell and have to knee surgerys and a lifetime of back pain ahead.  this is the first year i cant afford anything for xmas.  i applied for ssd and very sadly just gave in and applied for welfare. i have gone from 2 bedrooms to a studio 10x11. i am bereft over having nothing for my son.  i have to daughters 1 in college and the other works. they understand. I dont know what to ask for except some help giving my son gifts. i am sad and xmas has always been joyful. if you read this and have even a thought please respond. i am grateful for even support.

thank you and may you and yours be healthy and happy!

my name is billie. i am a uaw local 12 jeep worker. i have been layed off since dec. 2007 and have only worked a total of 5 days this year. i was called back to work the first week of dec. this year and was told i would be working through jan.2009. needless to say with the poor economy and government bailouts i wont have a job to return to. i have found it hard to find assistance for myself or anyone who is in my possition, due to the fact that "my income from the prior year is to high to be able to recieve any help." the money i collect from unemployment is barelly enough to pay rent, utilities, and all the other neccesities.

we need your help to give our children a good christmas. my wife and i have two children a son who is 9 and a daughter 6. they both do exceptionally well in school and are good kids.

I am in desperate need for any help towards anything this xmas. I am a single mother of 3 and just recently lost my job and we are just trying to make ends meet till I get another job.14,12,an 10 year olds. I have always had a wonderful xmas for them and this year not looking that way, I really feel like a scrooge. please serious inquires only!!! god bless, Happy Holidays mary

Single Disabled Mother of 2 boys..in need of help for Christmas!

Both of my boys have disibilities....

My oldest, Ryan is 5, he's suffering from seperation aniexty and o.d.d. He was diagnosed just a short time ago!  He's not doing very well in school..always wanting to come home, always wondering where I am and what I'm doing!  I'm hoping he grows out of this..he's been like this for little over 2 1/2 years now!

My youngest, Benjamin is 2, he was diagnosed with only one working kidney when I was 4 1/2 months pregnant..a little after he was born, he had an ultrasound done and seen that his left kidney had hydronephosis..(a kink in the tube from the kidney to the bladder) specialists' say he can grow out of it..well it went from mild to moderate..so it got worse instead of better..but it's back to mild!  So, I'm just hoping it cures itself in time!  But noone knows how scary it is!

Myself, I have aniexty really bad..and mood swings from my aniexty!  I have soo much going on in my life..my husband (friend since kindergarten) is looking at a very long time in jail..still awaiting trial after almost 2 1/2 years!  Ryan is always asking for his daddy..I don't know what to say I go to the bathroom to cry so he wont see me and he follows me because he's afraid of me leaving him!

I'm soo worried about my kids..nobody knows how i feel..now Christmas is here....I have nothing for them..they deserve soo much more than I can offer but I collect disibility and bills come first..but it's hard to tell my kids that!

I can't give Ryan what he really wantsanyways..noone can..he says he just wants his daddy home!  That KILLS me! 

If you know any organization that would help, please contact me @ crb184@yahoo.com
