I recently graduated from a long term alcohol treatment facility. I am expecting a child in March and have a five year old. I would like my kids to have a nice Christmas but I will not start work in time. I need to find resources to assist us until I catch up. Could anyone direct me to an agency that could help short term?

Congrats on getting through the alcohol treatment first!! You can try local charities and local churches,Its getting late in the games so I wouldn't waste any time doing this. Also check into Toy's for Tots. You can also put an add out on craigslist.org for your area to see if a family would be willing to adopt your family for Christmas. Good luck to you and Happy Holidays!

Try Salvation Army or St. Vincent DePaul

You could try your local Public Assistance office and they usually have programs for individuals who have substance abuse, mental health or domestic violence issues. You may be eligible for some cash assistance and or food stamps. Good Luck, sweetie
