"I'm writing in about my sister and her family. My sister and
brother in law have two beautiful children, two girls ages 4 and 8. A
few months ago my sister came down with some health issues which have
caused her to have to cut back on her work hours. Her family was already
struggling financially, worrying about paying the mortgage and car
payments, and then she had to cut her work hours down. She is now
struggling to buy enough food, and called me crying the other day
because she had run out of peanut butter and bread and her girls were
still hungry and it was two days before payday. She is so stressed out
that it worries me greatly. Both of her girls have birthdays in
December. This is the first year that she has told the girls they cannot
have a birthday party. She simply cannot afford to buy birthday gifts
and decorations, much less pay for a party for school friends. And she
has made peace with that, we are having a small family get-together for
the girls birthdays. But what is really stressing her out is Christmas.
She can explain to the girls that she doesn't have money for Christmas
gifts - but how do you explain that SANTA doesn't have money to bring
gifts? I wish I could help her, I am trying when I can to bring food,
but my husband and I have 6 kids ourselves and are just making ends meet
this Christmas.I would love if someone could help my sister by getting a
few things for Santa to bring her girls. Nothing big or expensive, just
stocking stuffers and maybe one or two toys or stuffed animals would
make such a huge difference, allowing the girls to wake up Christmas
morning to the magic of the crumbs on the cookie plate right next to a
stocking of gifts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!"
