I'm praying for you and your daughter. I wish I could help financially but there's just no way. I know what it's like to cry yourself to sleep and feel helpless and hopeless. It hurts when your child needs something you can't provide. Just give her love and trust God. My Faith is what gets me through. God Bless you both and Merry Christmas. I'm praying God will open doors for you.

I'm praying for you and your family. I hope your husband will find a job soon. I know they seem to be scarce everywhere right now. My husband is working but his hours have been drastically cut back. My medical bills and medicines are unbelievable. I skip doses and suffer because we can't afford the refills. We are behind on every bill we owe and to say we are struggling is putting it mildly. In spite of all this I can't give up. Faith is the only thing that keeps me going. We aren't having a Christmas at all this year and it breaks my heart even though my daughter says she understands. It really hurts! She's been through so much but you couldn't ask for a better daughter. Keep your head up and keep believing. I truly pray everything works out for your family. God Bless you and Merry Christmas.

I just wanted you to know I'm praying for you and your family. I truly hope you get your dream of becoming a lawyer. No matter what don't give up and put your trust in God. God Bless you and your family.

I hope a lot of people will read your message and find hope! I pray things will get better for you and that you will continue to keep moving forward. It's true that Faith is the answer. I couldn't go on without it. I may not get all my prayers answered but I believe there is a higher purpose for everything we have to go through. So, I agree, we need to just keep pushing forward one step at a time and one day at a time. God Bless you and Merry Christmas.

Thanks for your selfless message. I hope it reaches the people it needs to reach. I've been depressed and am now going through it again so I can identify with that. I've also been homeless. We have had some tremendous struggles over the last 10 years but probably none worse than now. I'm thankful we have a roof over our heads. We may not always eat well but we've never not had anything to eat. My daughter won't have a Christmas this year and it breaks my heart. She's been through so much in her 16 years but no one could ask for a better daughter! Even though she says it's okay and she understands I'm dreading Christmas morning. All I do is cry. We didn't even bother putting up a tree because there is nothing to put under it and no money for a Christmas dinner. In spite of everything I still have faith! That's the only thing that gets me through. I may not get my Christmas prayer answered but I pray everyone else gets theirs answered, especially those with young children. God bless you and Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to say that I'm glad to see some people are getting a little help. I know these days every little bit counts. I sincerely wish I was able to help but I wanted everyone to know I've been praying for you all daily. I've received even more bad news since my original post and I've had to cut back even more on my meds. We'll get through some how. Things aren't looking very good right now but we always manage somehow. I need more meds but I can't even afford the refills on the ones I have already so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm so depressed I can't even describe it. Even though my daughter says she understands it is going to break my heart Christmas morning to see her get nothing. She's worn the same coat with a broken zipper for 3 winters and has never once complained. In spite of all we have been going through for the last 10 years I'm so blessed. I couldn't ask for a better daughter! I was really hoping to be able to give her a new coat but it just wasn't meant to be. Sometimes I don't understand why things work out like they do but I really try not to question God although it is hard at times. I pray you all will be blessed and have a Merry Christmas. God bless you all!

I am desperate to give my 16 year old daughter a gift for Christmas. I am disabled and my husband makes decent money but my medical bills and medications are killing us. We don't qualify for any assistance. Every church, organization or company I have contacted have told me their funds are all allocated for the year, they don't give donations or referred me to someone else. Everywhere I've turned the answers are the same. She says it's okay but my heart is broken over this and I'm so depressed I can barely function. I know she wants things like other girls her age and it hurts to see her go without. I can't find help anywhere! She hasn't even asked for anything because she knows we don't have the money. We are behind on everything and I skip doses of medicine so it will last longer and I just suffer. The money is just not there. Every site I've tried has strings attached. I can't afford to order something or subscribe to something just to get a "free" gift. Where do decent people turn for help? There doesn't appear to be any place out there for us.I've never asked anyone for anything and when I was able we always helped needy people. Now the tide has turned and there's no one there to help us.
