I just found this out and hope its not too late…I have an ex coworker who got the swine flu and ended up on oxygen and lost her job due to it she couldnt find a job for a month but finally found one as a security guard with a huge pay cut she is still trying to catch up on rent utilities and then her car broke down….she had to use her first check to pay 600.00 and some odd cents to fix her car because they live ten miles out of town with no bus system out there i know her kids know whats going on and don’t care if they get anything but i think all kids should have at least one present under the tree…i seen her sons letter to santa clause in the newspaper from his school and he put “Dear Santa, i am ten years old and my sister is 14. i was going to ask you to bring my sister earings and me a transformer but we decided we don’t want anything at all, just as long as you can heal my mommys heart and make her not sad anymore. she told us santa might not visit this year and its okay you are very busy and other children need you but please help our mommy not be sad.” i even spelled as exactly he did but it was so heartfelt and sad i wish i could do something for them but i am struggling myself. her email address is ladybugvigil@aol.com i think she can check email at work.

My sister is very much in need. She was happily married but her husband began doing drugs and became very abusive , so she did what was best for her children and left. she is now a divorced single mother of thre wonderful boys, Donald ahe 5, Michael age 2 and christopher age 1. She left everything she had and is now living day to day. she gets 200 a month from child support. and hasnt been able to work because she cant afford daycare. she has cried many night especially lately because it is christmas time and she cant buy anything for her kids. i gave her a tree so thats all she has. the kids are wonderful kids and deserve a good christmas they have been through so much,, and so has she she has endured alot of abuse from childhood to adult hood and still is a strong loving person. she gives even when she has nothing but a smile and a sweet word she still thinks of others instead of her own needs, so thats why i want this for her, i think she deserves that smile back.

I want to nominate my family for this, I am a mother of 5 wonderful children, recently we lost everything we had due to domestic violence, we were able to flee with just the clothes we were wearing. We moved into a d.v. shelter out of town where we stood for 2 month as it was a 8 week program. Two of my kids had birthdays during this time and I could do nothing for them as I was not working. We finally moved back in town and lived in transitional shelters and with my daughter but that wasn’t working either. I finally found a job and got a place with my cousin and his room mate (as there is no way i can afford a place by myself @ this time) Things are going good my kids are finally in a stable home and going back to school. This christmas will be like many others because when we were with our abuser we weren’t allowed to have “fun” he would give my kids books and say “thats your present”. So you see why I would really love for them to be nominated for this as they never really had a “christmas”. Please consider them for the under the tree program. thanks
