Brandon and Whitney had their hands full this year, welcoming a baby girl into the world last spring and also raising 5-year-old twin boys.

The family has been barely making ends meet off of Brandon’s income, but Whitney did not work this year due to a difficult pregnancy followed by the need to stay home with her baby.

“It’s been really important to our family for me to be able to stay home with our baby and our twin boys who started kindergarten this year,” she said.

Whitney said it would be “a blessing” to her family this year if they could receive Christmas help, and United Way is willing to lend her a hand by providing donated gifts.

Dylan and Dallas are in need of zip-up jackets and long-sleeve shirts, while baby Emily needs baby outfits, long-sleeve shirts and leggings.

Gift suggestions for the twins include monster jam trucks, Legos and the game Count Your Chickens. Emily could use teething toys, size two bibs and pacifiers.

Starting at $4.32/week.
