I have 3 beautiful boys ages 3,6 and 13 years old and my husband is in jail. I am doing any work I can find but its not even enough to pay the bills. I am going to loose my home by the end of the month and I have to get another place to live. So money is going to be so tight that I won't even afford to buy any christmas for them. If there is any one that can help it would be greatly appciated. Thank You.

Ask at the jail if there is a group that assists the inmates families in need.
Check for "Toys for Tots" in your area. Call Children's Services and ask for a social worker--they often put articles in the newspapers about different needy families and what they would like or need for their children at Holiday times. If you belong to a church, or even if not, contact the pastor and ask him for help.
Visit a local thrift store--you can find some pretty decent things there for little $$.
Talk to your 13 year old--he is more aware of what is going on that you may credit him for. Maybe he can help friends or neighbors shovel snow or sweep the walk (depending on climate--I don't know where you live); carry in groceries, walk the dog, etc for $. I bet he would feel so proud that you asked him for help!!
Ask your neighbors or friends for the trimmings they cut off their Christmas trees--you can tie them together and make your own tree; and decorate with paper chains and popcorn.
I hope this helps!! And God bless you and your family!

Maybe you can start by making better choices in your life.
Are you asking for money or a place to go that helps people in your situation?
Call the Salvation Army.
