You can make three wishes at WUAH for cards or gift cards for clothes.

Google local charities and how to make your own playdough it is on the net...and bake cookies or baking anything with your kids. Make things, crafts with your children and make clothes for their dolls like my mom use to do and make doll furniture from cardboard. String popocorn and cranberries for the tree.

And google.com Christmas Crafts, cheap Christmas crafts and cheap recipes.

Have each child make something for the other and wrap in paper bags after they color or paint it. We did... Have Fun!!

Happy Holidays and remember it is the family together not the gifts that matter.

Hugs

Hi To whom this may concern, I'm a 40 yr old single mom with a 14 year old son. I am searching for help for him for Christmas. I've recently had my 2nd surgery on my right knee, and have been out of work for awhile now. My son is a very nice and respectable young boy. I'm not picky and will truly be thankful for any help that I can get. This is my 1st time ever asking for help...I've been praying on this situation and asking GOD What Shall I Do? Thanks in advance for your time. Sincerely, Mom in need in South,Carolina 29102

Hello

Here is the website for North Carolina and South Carolina. You need to put your zip code in to bring you the Salvation Army nearest you. If the number below is not right for what you need go to locations as they have many locations with different services.

Hello oneshark4u

Everyone is having a hard time making ends met so you aren't alone. then when you have five kids it makes it harder.

You have landed on the right page and if you look above this post then you will see the links for Christmas Information for toysfortots link and wishuponahero.com other sites that maybe able to help you with Christmas for your children. 

What city and state are you in? And you would have to please remove your phone number for your safety.

Let me know if you have a hard time finding the Christmas Information as it is right above the post you made.

Do you need food banks or free medical clinics too?

See if you can get help from St. Vincent de Pauls and some of the other sites to help you out finanically.

http://help-with-rent-security-deposit-utility-bills.starshine1.aidpage.com/

What are the ages of your children and do you get any state assistance?

Let me know if that helps you out.

Wishing you the best

Starshine
