Go to The Salvation Army or Try
the TOYS For TOTS program - a Local Church may be able to help you get on the program or call your local Health Dept - they may be able to help Refer you to the Program too
**Call your Local Radio Stations and tell them your Predicament
- That your Husband lost his job after it was too late to get your daughter on the Angel Tree - Maybe they will help run a drive for you - or some callers will want to help by sending in money or gifts - This happened in my home town last year - a lady called in and they helped her - they announced it on the Radio - Baby Cody's Christmas Fund
Also If you can afford some stuff - if you get a job soon
Try shopping at the Dollar Tree or Family Dollar or Dollar General Stores - they have a Great assortment of Kids toys for really cheap
Try going to a Temp Agency to find Holiday Work atleast - they will help you find a JOB asap
Go check your Local Denny's or IHOP - they are always hiring for Graveyard shifts during the Holidays
The malls are Hiring for Christmas Help too for all shifts
Just keep trying something will come along
I was told TOYS stores hire on the spot during Dec
And most Wal-marts can always use extra Cashiers
Good Luck - I will be praying that it all works out for you & your little family
Hope this Helps

Maybe your husband can get a job in a store because of the holiday rush. Also go to churches and see if they can help, no church will turn down a little girl, if nothing else, try the salvation army or go online at the local library and look up where you can apply for help.

Salvation Army, Catholic Social Services, Toys for Tots, tell family and friends to gather unwanted good used toys and clothing (they will probably provide non-perishable foods also) if they know your in need I'm sure they would help.You and your husband might consider donating plasma which you can do 2x's a week, clean someones home, babysit, yard work, windows..Dollar stores carry a variety of toys, inexpensive.

If you're a member of a church (or other place of worship), talk to your pastor/minister/rabbi/etc. They can help. There are also places like Salvation Army that can help. Of course, there are always relatives you can call and beg for a little bit of cash.
Do you have a job? MANY retail places are looking for help this time of year. Look into that.
Good luck!

Go to the local unemployment office and ask to be put on their job seeker area. Also call all churches and the salvation army. Very often they have extra.

Take in some ironing, go and clean houses, mow lawns.................just do anything to get some extra cash .........there is work out there you just have to be willing.
There is still a few weeks to go , put some things on layby/layaway and pay the off till Xmas eve.
Go to the dollar shop and get a few cheap things to wrap for under the tree.......................shes only 4, just be creative, she wont know how much things cost, just as long as she gets something.
Ask your family for help?.............

Do either you or your husband have a mother? Ask someone in the family to help.
