I have a neighbor who I KNOW is having a tough time. She's a single mother and her ex isn't interested in helping out. I try to help her as much as I can, but she's very independent and I have to be careful so I don't make her feel like I think she's a charity case. She is so broke that she finally had to go apply for food stamps recently because she lost 17 pounds having to choose between eating and letting her child eat. Of course, she always chose to let her kid have the food and now she looks practically anorexic. I wish she would let me do more for them but she refuses and says I don't 'owe her anything'. That's not how I see it, but oh well...

I am not aware of any I know, but I am sure that if I look a little farther, there are plenty. But your point, though not spoken in your question, is well taken. We do need to do our part to help those we can, even if it is just a donation to a local food bank, or Toys for Tots, or an angel from the Angel Tree. Thanks for the reminder.

My math teacher is giving us the opportunity to buy Christmas presents for a needy family in exchange for extra credit. I think it's an awesome idea.

I might have a hard christmas, or I might have the best one yet (nothing in between tho) but not due to family, could use some help tho.
So I'll be helping out myself. peace out, A town down

yeah. my friends parents are fighting more recently, and are talking about divorce. she never celebrates christmas because her dad travels for business, and her mom always works to pay for bills and their house. i always thought that my christmas were bad because my mom always worked. but i still had my other family with me. and she doesnt have any family in our city.

Too many people are having to struggle this year....my family included.
We're doing our best to share what we have with others. I wish we could do more.
