I am no longer asking for help with my own son's Christmas as it is our saviours birth we celebrate. I am teaching my son the value of giving joy to others as the true meaning of our Christmas celebration. Would you please consider helping me with teaching this lesson and fullfilling a promise. I also have additional reasons for doing this. Years ago I had 2 children from a previous marriage that I ended up having to give up for adoption. (The complete story can be read about on my myspace blog.) [ link ] ]
Every year since they have been gone, I have made it a point to adopt children around their age as a way of honoring them. and to help ease the pain I feel from missing them so much.
The Circumstances when I adopted these families were different when I first volunteered to do it.
In October, I adopted 2 families children for Christmas. I receive 63.00 a month in S.S.I. payments that I plan to use for these kids. That makes a little over $10.00 to give to each these kids. I had hoped to send them enough for dinner and some cloths too. To win anything else would be a big help.
Here is my explanation:
Charles my husband is a school custodian. He was working for a school district that was 40 miles from home. At one point we were almost paying $300.00 per month for gasoline. We had always hoped for him to get on with a school district in our area. BUT the district in our area have a strange policy that says you have to already be working within the district to be concidered for a position. Which means you have to be hired on as a substitute. Which means unsure hours, ungaranteed work availiblity and no benefits. Before really waying the pro's and con's of taking this gamble of Charles working as a substitute we didn't find out how much the pay was, we assumed since Charles has 8 years of experience that he would get paid the same, not so. He took a 5.60 pay cut by taking the substituting possition. Currently our living expenses greatly exceed our income. We have not been able to make the car insurance payments this month.
I know times are tough for everyone but could you please concider voting for this wish to win this week (more)
