Janice and her family are hoping for a happy Christmas, especially for the four children. Due to tight finances, Janice is struggling to buy Christmas gifts and receiving assistance would take a huge weight off of her shoulders and would be a reminder that kindness still exists. “We would be so grateful for the help and for the happiness it would bring to our children,” she said.

“As a parent, it can be hard trying to make the holidays special while also keeping up with everyday bills, rent increase, income is shorter and unexpected financial expenses and responsibilities,” Janice said. “This support would help us give our kids a joyful Christmas with gifts, a nice meal and the memories that make the season feel magical.”

Eleven-year-old Ian is in need of sweatpants, a fleece jacket and a hoodie. He could use new snow boots and would enjoy receiving comic books and fidget toys.

Zack is eight years old and needs new joggers, long-sleeve shirts and pajamas. He also likes comic books and would love to get Lego collections of Spiderman for Christmas.

Five-year-old Maria could use new sweatpants, a long-sleeve shirt and pajamas. Her favorite colors are pink and purple. She would love to receive gifts of princess toys and a Gabby’s dollhouse.

Michelle is almost two years old and needs new outfits, onesies and pajamas. She loves to play with toy cars, fidget toys and Disney princess toys. She could also use some new snowboots.
