Hi my name is JoLene an I live in Council Bluffs iowa, I am a recently divorced an disabled single mom to four wonderful children, we have been so blessed to at least have each other so I feel guilty asking for help. I just got done telling my kids that there would mostly likely be no presents for Christmas this year becuase I have no money left after bills an the school told me on Monday to get a wish list together an then notified me yesterday that the family we were to be adopted by fell through. Of course my 5yr old boy said so I’m not going to get anything on my list but what about Santa? I said the reindeer were sick this year so Santa could only come if I sent him money for a plane ticket. My 6yr old boy said I wish christmas didn’t cost money. An I said me too but we can still celebrate Jesus’s birthday, while I watched my 12 yr old daughter cry in the other room, it broke my heart. My 3yr old son is visiting at his fathers an he will have Christmas presents there that he can’t bring home. I really don’t know what to do, after the talk with the others I came in my room an cried an then looked up credit cards but I don’t have the income to get one so I googled help for christmas an this is what I found so if there is anyone in southwest iowa or omaha nebraska area that can help me at least preserve the christmas magic of Santa, all my boys love john cena, tech decks, dale jr, transformers, dirtbikes, monster trucks, motorcycles, super heros an sports, they just need jeans an long sleeve shirts an pajamas so gift cards to walmart or for the family dollar( we love their cheap 2&3 pc sets) or one we can use at any store wld be great if u live far away, my daughter has lots of clothes but really wants this pair of boots she seen. Thank You so much for listening an God Bless you an your family!
