Hayley tries her best to give her children everything that they need. She would love to provide them with gifts for Christmas and some holiday magic this year, but recent hard times are making that impossible.

“I was recently displaced and didn’t have my own home for about a month. I was finally about to find a place, but rent is pretty much all my income,” Hayley said. “I am working so hard to provide for my children, and feel like I’m always falling short. Help this Christmas would mean so much. I don’t think I can do anything without help.”

Ten-year-old Anne could use new leggings, a hoodie and joggers. She would like some of the Eerie Elementary book series or mythical and fantasy books. She would enjoy receiving jewelry kits and crafts.

Leggings, a long-sleeve shirt and a fleece jacket are needed for five-year-old Janice. She likes princess books. She would love to receive Barbies, Disney princess toys and Hot Wheels.

Danielle is two years old and needs new leggings, a long-sleeve shirt and pajamas. She loves books about Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, and princesses. She would enjoy receiving baby dolls and other toys for pretend play.

Starting at $4.32/week.
