My husband had a Stroke and is not working right now. I resently went back to college, and going to school. We are on a very tight income barely able to pay rent. I have four kids. The 3 girls are 18 who has rods in her spine from Scoliosis, 17, 15, and a 13 year old boy who shoe shines and gives me a great report card. Can anyone guild me to where I could get help for Christmas this year because it does't look like we will have one this year. Thank you and God Bless. Merry Christmas

Try Community Outreach Center in Carol Stream, IL. Also, try your local township office, ask at a local church (they usually direct people to specific organizatins, but don't give handouts themselves because of too much abuse by people who really were not in need), and try the Pacific Garden Mission.

Life is more important than splurging money for a heavily commercialized X'mas. Be happy that you guys still have each other. Start looking in to the future and figure out a sustainable lifestyle. The 17 and 15 year olds shold be able to find part time work to stat helping out with family. I've seen poor families work out a decent living when they pull together.

try your local thrift store

they usually do x-mas things
all you gotta do is fill out a sheet with the child ages and what you think they might want
and what you want
they will get it for you
