GRANT A CHRISTMAS HOPE

My son Gregory in a year has been through more than his fair share. He was married for 5 years and he and his wife were doing foster care--they had a 4 brother/sister team for 2.5 years and those kids went home in May 2023, then his wife was pregnant and lost the baby at 35 weeks in Aug 2023. Then they got 7 kids all siblings in Sept 2023 and lost all of them in Aug 2024. His now ex wife divorced him unexpectedly in January and he was asked to leave his home, his boxer dog, his 7 foster kids everything he knew he lost in January 2024. He and his wife were working for a local church and because of their split and now divorce both were let go at their jobs, he is now unemployed. He is struggling and I and his mom are helping him all we can, and so is his brother. I have even taken on a second job part-time and I door dash a couple times a week to help him on top of my fulltime job. Every job seems to fall through for him and he needs some love and help this Christmas season. I plan on helping him but any extra help would be helpful to him so he can get back on his feet. Thank you and merry Christmas and God bless.

Ashley has had a rough last year or so. She is a home health nurse but last June she was pregnant and carried the baby full term but the baby was still born. Ashley loves God and knows everything happens for a reason but was devastated. During this time she was off work, she only got paid for a few weeks. A friend jumped in and offered to help financially as well as family, but she ended up having to move because she got behind on rent. We got her set up in a new apartment and back to work, but things financially are so expensive. Rent is higher now, and vehicle problems and some of her patients have moved to assisted living or passed away. Ashley is holding on to God and giving him all the glory for her job and home but her hours have been cut and with driving to each patient's home from Delaware, to Grove City to Plain City and Hilliard, gas is so expensive and her van is not in the best condition. Ashley could sure use some Christmas Hope. She has a 17 yr old daughter and a 5 yr old daughter. She is a single mom and hard worker. If she could just get a little HOPE in these hard tough times, that would be wonderful and just reaffirm that God is still in control! Ashley has a heart of gold and helps anyone she can or is able too! I know God has big things in store for her and she knows as well! Thanks for this good thing the radio station is doing!

Lesley's husband Jeffrey had a heart attack last year and is unable to work. She's trying to hold the family together and is concerned they just won't have the resources to provide a Christmas for their kids, a 12 year old boy and a 14 year old girl. She reached out to the school for any help getting connected to United Way and Rotary, but then as I was listening to Hope 100.7 I heard about this opportunity! I thought it would be a wonderful way to share the hope and light of Christ with a family in need!

I have 4 grandchildren that rely on us, they are a boy who is almost 3, a 2 week old newborn girl, a girl who is 4, and another boy who is 5 and in school. They are such amazing children! I work to provide all I can but this year seems even worse than last year, all the expenses are more than they were last year and we do not get any kind of public assistance for them. Rent and propane and up and honestly we just do not have the funds to give the grandkids a Christmas, and that really dampens the spirit. I thank you if you can help, but I understand if you can not.

I’m submitting this Christmas hope for my mom. She’s she is taking care of two of her grandkids, lost her job about a two months ago and at risk of losing everything I’ve watched her work so hard for. She’s having a really hard time right now and could use some hope and a reminder of gods grace.

Hello, I'm Dallas a single mom of 3 girls age 8, 6 and 4 and pregnant with my first boy due Christmas day. I work part time. It's been getting harder to work recently with me being high risk for preterm labor. I've been so worried about how I'm going to give my girls Christmas this year. It would be such a blessing to have any help at all with Christmas this year. Thank you so much for your time, have a good day!

Antje is a close friend of mine and her job/pay can be unpredictable. Unfortunately her health isn't the best and she has several doctor visits and medications. Also unexpected expenses have occurred. Sometimes she has to choose between paying bills or getting food and medications. My wish for her is to cover some of the bills that she has to help her live with a little more ease this Christmas season and get food and her needed medications.

I’m a single mom of 3 sons ages 15, 12, and 10. I’m on a fixed income and in the past their dad has been willing to help to provide some Christmas for them but not this year. Earlier this year I had to purchase a vehicle and now my finances are even tighter with the car payment. This year there is no way I’ll be able to afford to provide any Christmas gifts for my sons and that breaks my heart … they are good kids. I am a Christian and I’ve tried to teach and guide my sons towards God. I’ve made Christmas a big deal in the past to celebrate and show them God's love in a special way. I know it’s not about gifts and I have taught them that also… just they are kids and I want to be able to continue to make Christmas special to them and provide gifts for them. I want them to experience God's love in a tangible way … they’ve seen God work in our lives in different areas and God has always provided for us, I'm praying He does this Christmas too!

We've had a year that doesn't seem to be getting any better. My husband provides for the family while I pick up teaching jobs as a substitute. We just can't seem to make ends meet. I have two children ages 6 and 13, who had to start a brand new school this year. They were getting bullied at their public school so I made the decision to put them in a Christian school. It seems we get one step forward just to be set a million steps behind. I believe with all my heart that God will make a way, however it's had to let your children see you get so defeated and don't know where their next meal may come from. The one thing that would help make this Christmas more hopeful would be to have some kind of help!

Hi my name is Misti and I am asking for Christmas help for my family. My husband is the only one who works and unfortunately this year has been a very very hard one. My husband makes just enough to make it through. However we are not going to be able to give our babies a Christmas. They deserve the best since they are our little angels in this hard time 💗. I have asked God to please lead me to some help and I heard about this while listening to Hope 100.7!!!!!
