well...to start from the begining.  I have found myself asking for help.  I have been to salvation Army food bank, Churchs, low income houseing, friends and family.  I feel as low as I can get.  I have 4 teenagers that have been an absolute blessing to my life and I feel as if I have failed them.  It seems the harder I try and provide a better finacial security for them it seems to fail.  This will be the first Christmas that I can not even give them a gift.  I thought of making gifts but I dont even have the money to buy the supplies to make them. I put up a tree to bring some Holiday cheer, but I have no way of placing gifts under it.  Maybe I have given them fails hope.  I ask for nothing for myself...only to put a smile on my kids face.  I need help.  Is there a Santa Claus?

I understand how you feel and what you're going through. I AM the product of that lifetyle, and I know my mother struggled with my sister and I, but we never expected anything. We knew she loved us and understood about not having enough money. If you Google or Yahoo Search "Adopt A Family", you'll find many programs that will WANT to help you. Call some local churches and ask if they have an Adopt A Family program, and if so, ask if you can get on that program. Please, don't feel ashamed to ask for help...we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Peace.
