This season has been a difficult one for our family, and I’m humbly reaching out to our church community for prayer and support. I’m a mother of three children a 9 year old girl, a 12 year old boy, and a 15 year old girl and after a recent 15-day hospital stay where I nearly lost my life, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I’m still recovering and learning how to manage my health while relying on state assistance to cover our basic needs. With Christmas approaching, I simply don’t have the means to provide gifts this year. I asked my children to make an Amazon wish list to give “Santa” a general idea of what they like, but they would be grateful for anything. My younger two still believe with all their hearts, and I’m trying my best to preserve that joy and sense of wonder for them.…
I did erase a few things off the amazon wish list. my 15 year old wanted a phone. I really just want to have something for the younger ones for Christmas. Times are really rough for us this year. My daughter says shes old enough to know santas not real, to me that old enough to understand
