I am a single dad and am only working 20 hrs a week cause they have cut back hrs. I have two kids Im raising on my own after there so called mom took off to find herself. She had no worry about her KIDS. Ive tried Salvation army,toys for tots,and local churces and fire department. and have sent out lots of resumes and call to check on them but never get anything I was shocked to find they have already took all the names they are taken. its not even DEC yet. Im not going to have any money to get my Kido's anything for Christmas and this is HARD for a dad that his kids are his life. Yes ive tried to find another job ive filled out lots of resumes and never get called. I even call them just to be told they are still looking over them or its already filled.Im hoping someone will give us a hand up and buy the kids some gifts. I promise to pay it toward as soon as things are better for us. Im a very prideful man and it is hard for me to ask for elp but my kids are everything to me so for them I can lay it down

Hi there,

I am a single mom of three and understand what you are going through. While I can't help you myself I found two resources that are helping me. First, try talking to your kids school they often donate to several families. Second, you could call the 211 information line. They will give you all sorts of resources to call (just dial 211 from a land line). Lastly I would try calling around to grocery stores. I worked for one and they adopted families for the holidays each year. 

 

Hope this helps
