Hello my name is brandy. i really need help for 2009 christmas. i have 3 wonderful sons their 7.6.2. if anyone can help out with some gift cards 2 walmart or somewhere pls contact me at brandycooper81@yahoo.com 2 of my kids have asthma and i now have applied for my ssi. please help. god bless

This has been the toughest year of our life! We have never asked for assistance but it will be the only way our 3 kids will have any type of Christmas. This year we have had to deal with lots of legal fees due to an identity theft case where someone stole our 14yr old daughter's identity. Two weeks after the lawyer was paid my husband was pulled out of work for emergency surgery, he had 2 discs slipped that were putting direct pressure on his spine and cutting the nerve to his right arm. They said if his spine was punctured he would be paralyzed and it the nerve to his arm was cut he would loose all use of it. They have since told him that he will never be able to return to work as a mechanic (his profession of almost 17yrs) and that he also has some permanant nerve damage to that arm. They still have not cleared him to be able to try and gain any type of employment. Our 16yr old son stayed home almost 2weeks to take care of his father and the school system had his learners permit suspended for absences and also denied him any class credits! Our 9yr old son is on a breathing machine a few times a day due to severe asthma and has also been diagnosed ADHD. This has been a struggle to keep up with his medication and doctors appointments. Then, they came into my work just yesterday (Friday Dec. 12th) at 5:00pm, changed the locks and told us as of the close of business we are shutting down. I have been the only source of income for a family of 5 which has been super tough and now to find out this close to christmas that I have no job is the biggest slap in the face I have ever had. The older kids have been so good understanding that the bills are behind and I have not even had money to purchase the first gift that they made the comment, "don't worry about getting us anything for christmas, just worry about the little one". This comment was told to me by both of them on separate occasions and all I could do was cry and tell them that I can't do that because I have always been fair and what I do for one I do for the others. I am just hoping that I can get some type of help to finish the year out on a better note and be able to show my children that they are loved and none of this is their fault. When they wake up on Christmas morning I just want them to be able to say that they got something instead of all their friends teling what they have received and they have to tell them nothing.

Same old same old,  Thanksgiving was the big football game, Easton won of course  Typical day.  I don't like turkey so I made an oven stuffer and had all the trimmings, just me and my husband as the kids were with their dad.  No luck finding a job.  This Christmas won't be a gift galore!  I am going to make some gifts for the fam.  I found a recipe for bath salts or fizzies in a magazine.  The trouble is I have to buy a silicone ice cube tray, although I haven't tried it with a regular tray.  I do have a lot of  crafty items and I think I can come up with some neato gifts.  The internet is a wealth of info in how to make things.  Sometimes I wonder if people enjoy these home made gifts.  So I hear from others about their lousy x-mases and how there are no gifts or not a lot of gifts and I'm thinking it blows that it will be a lousy x-mas because one cannot get everything that everybody wants.  Do we have to get 15 presents each?  I would love to be able to get everything my kids want as I'm sure most people feel this way.  I read that a group of people have written letters to major toy makers asking them to stop making tv commercials aimed at children.    One man who wrote a letter said that he now has to tell his kids he cannot get them that particular toy and the kid will be dissapointed!  Are you kidding me!  Major toy makers market is children... I have no problem telling my children that I am not able to get something for them.  Do I like telling them that, not always, because I want to get them what they want.  My children also know the position we are in, they are also 15 and 18 and that may make a difference. But come on this guy doesn't want to tell his kid he can't get that for them, bull, eat your pride.  Do you know how many things my youngest wants me to look at, I'll tell her, oh that is a nice shirt.  Doesn't mean I'm going to go get it for her, should I complain to the store who is advertising this shirt?  No.  Should Louis Vuitton not advertise in magazines because I cannot afford the $16,500 jewelry case?  It's business and they are going to advertise to their target audiences.  Yes our X-mas will be small but will that determine how we feel for our family, it shouldn't.  Next year may be different.  Who knows.  Right now I am controlling what I can.  By applying for jobs and being flexible with my schedule, reducing needless spending.  Although it seems we have cut out all the fun, what more is there.  Food is usually the first to go.  I try and remember ones who have nothing.  One member of my family (read previous posts) just got fired, bad time to get fired, and his firing was something he could control.  I think about the others that will hurt because of his getting fired.  Now a days it seems most of us are expendable, my husband walks the straight and narrow at work, giving 110%, making himself known to those who matter.  So the next time lay offs come around he hopefully will be the one who stays. 

please i missed the salvation army sign-up for xmas toys if somebody can help me i have 3 boys and 1 girl i know somebody with a great heart will tell where else i can sing-up thanks and god bless
