A very beautiful quote from Nelson Mandela says it well.
At the moment, it really does seem impossible for me to provide Christmas to my three incredibly amazing children, but I'm not losing hope yet.
I'm a freelance transcriptionist, but it's been so hard to find work lately. My husband is doing all that he can to pay our bills and put food on the table. In the absolute worse time of the year possible, we just can't afford a few little things for my kids that they undoubtedly deserve.
They never ask for anything, and that alone makes me want to give them more. My oldest daughter Samantha enlisted in the military. She wants to be a wheeled vehicle mechanic. Unfortunately, they didn't let her in because of her weight. She was devestated. She tried very hard, and she did lose quite a bit, but it wasn't enough. My son is very much into sports and music, and he too loves anything to do with the military. He wants to be a police officer or an Alaska State Trooper when he gets older. And my youngest daughter is a firefighter, who is also very much into sports and music, and she's planning to be an engineer when she gets older. She's extremely talented, and that's not just from a 'mother's perspective'.
I hate to ask for things that I can't do myself, but I don't know what else to do. I'm not asking for much - just enough to get them each a couple of things this holiday season. This has never happened to us before, and I'm making it a mission to see that it never happens again, but in the meantime I'm reaching out to you for help. Christmas is a time for giving, and as the tears roll down my face knowing that I can't, I'm hoping that you will.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. God bless!
