GRANT A CHRISTMAS HOPE

My friends Paul and Loretta have always been a blessing to others, helping families when times were tough. Now tough financial burdens and heartache are on their doorstep. Never wanting to ask for help- they've slowly faded into the shadows. They need help to remind them God cares, and help take some pressure off of the bills that have been piling up because of their children's poor choices - that have impacted the whole family. I hope and pray they receive their Christmas Miracle!

My biggest hope for Christmas that I pray for every day for months is to have the funds to fix the plumbing issues in my bathroom. The previous owner just did things wrong, the cheap way, so now I have a bathroom with mold that I have to block off so my kids don't get sick and they have to use the one downstairs. I paid 2 times now for someone to remodel and they ripped me off, did no work, took the money and ran. I work a full time job plus 3 part time jobs trying to stay afloat. I have choose weekly for other bills, and the mortgage and now I have to start all over saving for the plumbing. I just would like to not have to worry about it and be able to get caught up on my other bills.

Hello!
My husband and I bought our 1st house near the beginning of the year with God's grace!
We just had our 3rd baby on November 20th (also my husbands birthday 🎂)

We have a 3 yr old boy a 1 yr old boy and now our little girl.

Our Christmas wish is to be able to buy nice gifts/clothes for the kids and our parents.

Things are super tight right now as it is for everyone. But the end of my pregnancy was rough so my husband didn't work any overtime. Our Bills are always paid and bellies full. Currently we didn't have any extra for home projects that need done or new clothes. We have a little saved for Xmas but not much.

We know God will always provide and he shows us just about every pay period but it would be nice not to have to pinch so hard and pick and choose groceries.

I need to have my home exterminated and I live on a fixed income. With the infestation I can't have anyone in my home or go to anyone's home and with it being the holidays it's been very hard I'm unable to see my children or grandchildren so this could really help me right now and would be a blessing for me to be able to spend time with my family again.

My husband passed away this past February without life insurance leaving us short of money each month. He had been sick for a while but his death was unexpected. There has just been a cascade of things that keep going wrong. Most specifically my car broke down about 6 months ago and my stepson said he could fix it. But he eventually said he was unable to and then without my permission he scrapped it. So now I can't even take it to someone else to get it fixed. I have custody of our granddaughter and need a car to get her to and from school and of course other errands - store, church etc. Thank-you for considering my request.

Me and my husband are having a very rough year financially this year.I had Covid and other health issues causing me to lose two weeks of pay last month and now my job accidentally messed up my work schedule last week and overstaffed on the days I was told I could work so I couldn’t work again.So I’ve missed total of 3 full weeks of pay within two months and we can’t catch up.We are in desperate need of just one mortgage payment paid to catch up if anyone could possibly help.I start a new job December 2 but we’re still behind 3 missing checks .We had to drain our savings last year for my sons legal fees to have help getting custody of his daughter who was severely abused so unfortunately we have no savings .

We moved here in 2009 from Canton and then we lost our jobs two weeks apart. My husband had to find a new job and we had to find somewhere to live too. I can’t work due to four back surgeries I’ve had, my husband works so hard but then we were wiped out in the 2019 tornadoes--we lost everything but our car that day. My husband works part time now & we just haven’t been able to catch up on rent. Where we live they are threatening eviction. Our other bills like electricity & groceries & gas are really hard, we hate to ask for help. It’s just us no children but we just feel like we can’t get ahead or catch up on things. I worry a lot and don’t sleep much, life has become a lot these days.

I’m asking for a Christmas gift for my mom this year. For years, she has selflessly cared for my ailing father, and just recently, she welcomed her grandson and his wife into their home, despite not having the resources to do so. Both she and my father are on a fixed income and have recently lost their healthcare coverage, which also means she no longer has access to the home health aide who helped relieve some of the burden of caring for my father. This Christmas, my deepest hope is that she experiences the love and care of God in a powerful way, as she has given so much to others despite her own struggles.

This is a hard message to send as it has always been heavy to ask for help. It has been very difficult and emotional the past few months and I have been praying for a miracle. I am 44 years old and on November 4th I suffered a left side CVA/Stroke affecting my right side and unfortunately leaving me with some physical and cognitive deficits, but I am alive by to the grace of God. My children have been amazing and supportive every step of the way. I work in healthcare and I am unsure when I will be able to return to work. I have 2 children in the home, 19 and 12 (Boys) as well as a 25 year-old daughter. I assist my elderly parents with their daily needs, but unfortunately I have been unable to live up to the responsibilities due to my deficits. Everything feels so difficult right now I am behind on every single bill. My car payment is two months behind not to mention my car is in the shop with a $500 deductible. Most importantly, despite everything, I want the Christmas spirit in my home this year. I spoke with my family and told them gifts will be minimal, but we will enjoy family and the true meaning of Christmas, life and love. God has blessed me with life as he did his son. I would feel blessed for any help this Christmas. Gifts for my loved ones, assistance with bills, food, or even just words of love and prayer. I have such a beautiful little family and they deserve more than I could ever give them. Thank you for reading and may God bless you.
Love- Tia 💕 Merry Christmas

Our house is being remodeled due to some unforseen circumstances and during the remodel, the basement flooded and it ruined the furnace and water heater and water softener.
My husband works 12 hour days and drives and hour to and from work each way and when he comes home from work, he puts in atleast another 4 hours working on the house and works every day he is off on the house. I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old that has some developmental disabilities and we have have 2 kids in school and one of them have mental disabilities.
We have been living in a small trailer that the roof leaks in for a year while our house gets ready. It would be so nice to be able to surprise my kids with a warm house in a warm bed for Christmas.
I'm just hoping to get a furnace for our home so my kids don't have to worry about leaks and being cold this winter.
