Is there a santa

I am trying to get gifts for my kids, they are really heart broken , i  had to tell my kids that santa might not find the house this year because we moved and he might not know where to find us. That is sad. I know on christmas I dont want to wake up because my kids are going to be so upset. If anyone out there has anything my kids arent special. anything would help. I have 10 9 7 6 year old girl and 5 and 2 year old boys. They dont look for name brand toys they know there is to many of them to get the good stuff. We were forced to move from our  house and with the rent and all the deposit I had to pay I have no money , I wont have any money till march. i still owe alot of money for bills, but I aint asking for money, just toys for my kids, let them know that santa is real. Thanks for reading this. Anymore information contact me I will share..

About karen23

  I am a single mother of four. I work two jobs "Taco Bell" and "Wal-mart". It has been a very hard three years since my husband left me. I do not get any child support and The money i do make goes to  the bills. I can barely afford to buy the Groceries  we need. I have tried hard to not do this, but it has left me no choice. My two youngest  are really counting on Santa Claus this year to bring them something, because they have hardly gotten even clothes in the past three years. And when they did get clothes it was hammy downs, or from the thrift store. But even now its hard. I just want them to have a good christmas, we didnt really get one last year and hardly the year before. I was wondering if there was anyway i could get help with the groceries. Also I was just wondering if there was any kind of help i could get from anywhere. Or a program for christmas that i could be in for. Thank you for reading what i have said. Thank-you!!

Seeking Help 4 My 2 Girls This Christmas

Now that I have Logged In, I feel so silly for doing so.  I look at my life and then read about these other people and think, "How dare I think that my life is that bad."  I originally got on this site to possibly get help for my two daughters, Tori age 5 and Michaela age 2.  I want be able to get them anything for Christmas.  That includes Santa Claus.  I am the only one working in my family.  My husband has not been working.  He just went back to work as a substitute teacher, but we are behind on our daycare by over $900.00, our car payment is behind one payment, and our light bill is behind a couple of months.  I have taken up work at night as well as my day job, but this just helps to catch us up.  I do have family that will give the girls things for Christmas.  My biggest fear is that my oldest will not get the one thing that she has asked Santa for numerous times.  How do you explain that to a five year old and have her still believe in him?  I don't think that you can.  It just makes me want to cry and is tearing my family apart.  I am beginning to not be able to stand to be around my husband.  I don't want to feel that way, but I guess it's just nature.  I try to remain strong.  I married him w/the vow of For Rich or Poor.  I am just at my wits end.  I feel like I am the one that works so hard and everything is on my back.  If you have ever been through something like this, you know what I mean.  If you have not been through this, then you are truely blessed.  Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  May God bless you and keep you safe this holiday season. (mrsangielanders@yahoo.com)
