GRANT A CHRISTMAS HOPE

Hello. My name is Teresa. I am in end stage kidney failure. I have been taking dialysis treatments 3-4 times a week for 3 years. My “kids” are 21 year old boy girl twins. My son has been out of work for a few months and my daughter is away at college. I am working but dialysis takes a lot out of me and I do miss work on occasion. We have received an eviction notice. We are a few months behind on rent. My daughter is working and helps out when she can.
I am struggling but have always been there if anyone needs help. I know several people who have no-one around the holidays and I always invite them to join my small family. We always make do no matter who shows up. I know what it’s like to be alone during the holidays. This year we may not even have Thanksgiving or a Christmas as long as we have a roof over our heads. My dialysis nurse listens to your station and told me about this program. Please consider my family. Thank you.

Hello. I lost my job at the end of the year last year and struggled to find another one. During that time, we about lost everything.. I finally found another one but unfortunately the pay was not enough to catch up on bills. We lived off credit cards. My wife and I have recently I found new jobs and are working hard to get caught back up. But just last week, she totaled her car, and now we are trying to figure out what we're going to do with that being so close to christmas, we have three kids. Two daughters, one is seventeen one is six and a son that is nine. We have no idea what we're gonna do come christmas. It's always been my favorite time of the year but this year is just so hard to find my joy. With the bills that have piled up having to find another car and buy Christmas for 3 kids.

Hello my name is Krystian, I am a mother of 4 beautiful babies and a step mother to 3 more beautiful children, their ages range from 9 down to 1 1/2. I just recently married the love of my life in June, me and my husband are both in recovery and have over two years clean. We have had a long and tough journey, and without God none of it would’ve been possible! lost my full time job that I had been at for a year and a half back in October and I just started working 3-4 days a week at my new job. When we were in active addiction we weren't very active in our kids' lives, but now we are trying to be better parents and better role models for our little ones. We would love to be able to give our children a Christmas but this year it just doesn’t look like it’s going to be possible. It would be such a huge blessing if we could find some help in getting our little ones Christmas, I know that God says give all your worries to him and he will provide so I’m trusting that he will provide a way for us, thank you for taking the time to read my story and maybe take in my family to help! God bless each and everyone of you! ♥️

Hello my name is Mindy and this is hard for me because I have always been a independent woman that hates asking for help. But these last few years my health has took a toll on me and my family. I haven't been able to work in a year and because of my age they denied my disability. I have a beautiful 13 year old daughter that has suffered a few set backs due to a medical condition. But is the reason for my motivation. She is a true blessing that has changed my life. My fiance works so hard to try and do everything he can but has children of his own he pays child support on. So with me being off work bills are piling up. Car needs fixed and just don't know how to go about giving them a great Christmas. Plus car payment, car insurance and just everyday needs. Gas to get to all the different doctor appointments times have just hit really hard for my family. My parents have helped as much as they can. I just would love to give my family a good Christmas even if it's just a bill paid. My faith in Jesus I know we will be alright. I have always been one to want to help others and unfortunately I am need of help.

My husband and I have a 7 year old son, we both work yet struggle from pay check to pay check. I was off of work the biggest part of the year due to have multiple surgeries. My husband worked so hard to keep us going, but just like everything else there is a time to play catch up. We are doing the best we possibly can, but that leaves Christmas for our little guy, almost impossible. At his age he knows that Christmas is Jesus's birthday but he still has a heart for Santa. Please if anyone could help make this Christmas special for him, it would mean so much to us.

I am looking for help for my nephew. He is 5 and he is a very special little boy who deserves a good Christmas. To see the joy on his face and his big smile is priceless. I am asking for toys and clothes and a coat and socks and shoes if that is possible. He was born on drugs and he has come a long way but he is still struggling. I want him to remember this Christmas and to receive presents which I can't give him it breaks my heart. I love him to death but I can't provide for him like I should but he is my angel in my life he is my little best friend and he is my miracle. My sister passed away so this time of year is very hard with grief and sadness I pray you choose my nephew he is the light in my world I would give him everything If I could but I can't. God bless you Amen

My daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in April of this year right before her first birthday we are extremely grateful to say that she is in remission! She has gone through extensive chemotherapy treatment for the last 6 months and has been in the hospital more than she’s been home and she still has another year and a half of treatment. Due to all of her hospitalization I had to quit my job so we only have my husbands income and money is very limited right now. Anything that would help make this Christmas more hopeful and memorable would be so appreciated!

Well, I never thought I would be in the position I am in. Last year my wife left our family and we are down to one income. I have three children. A girl and two boys. My daughter is 16, my oldest son is 17 and my youngest son is 10. They are good young people. I would love to give them the world. I would love to give them their family back. My children know what the true meaning of Christmas is and that it is about Jesus! They love to give and I just would like to be able to get them a few things for Christmas this year. They never ask for much, but they do well in school and are doing best considering our situation. This time next year I pray I am in the situation to be able to give to others. We will be blessed and thankful for anything God allows to come into our home in this season. God bless!

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.
