People Who Need Christmas Help 

I will be running several toy/gift drives and food drives in my area for Christmas help. I can't help everyone but I will be picking and choosing a few that are in dire need of Christmas help. This is a Christmas aid program from my new non profit organization called "Children and Mom's Network." If you need help please let me know and I may not be able to help everyone but I will try my best to see what I can do even if through referrals for the ones that I could not get to. Please send your requests by commenting on my post.

God Bless ***From pit to place -don't give up hope.  

Love to all,

Every year I make this up and then make my own Christmas ornaments.  Our Christmas tree smells so good, and the scent from the ornaments will fill your entire house.  These also make great inexpensive gifts.

1 cup applesauce
1 ounce cinnamon
1 ounce ground cloves
1 ounce ground nutmeg
1 ounce ground ginger
cinnamon for cutting board

Combine ingredients to make a stiff dough. Roll out on board dusted with ground cinnamon. Cut shape of your choice with cookie cutters. Use a straw to place hole in top for string. Lay out flat to dry. Turn every 12 hours until completely dry.

Hello my name is Nick and I am married with 3 girls. Ages 11, 9, and 10 months. Sadly to say I have been looking and without a job for over a year and have had just 1 interview. I never thought I'd be in the perdicament but  it looks like Christmas will not be happening this year. My wife and I now struggle with the groceries. She's managed to put some money away to get them something. However, I can't afford anything. I feel really bad that I won't be able to get anything for my youngest daughter's first Christmas. Not to mention the other 3 important women in my life. I am a christian and have been praying for a miracle but nothing so far. With less than 10 days away, it will only take a miracle for anything to happen. Is there anyone out there who is reading this that has a big enough heart to help me in any way?

My name is Don and I take care of my sister who has lupus and her husband who has cancer.  I work full time to make ends meet.  I would love to provide both of them with the best Christmas ever.  She enjoys watching TV and talking on the phone with friends and family.  Neither one of them ever ask for anything.  It would give me great joy to be able to give them the best Christmas ever!  If you could please help, I would be so grateful.

Thank you,

Don Hurley
