The following Massachusetts families are in need of your help. If you are interested in offering some assistance to one of these families in need, leave a comment below. It will come to my email at which time I will contact you as soon as possible! If you aren’t able to donate on your own, ask friends and family if they would like to adopt a family in need and share in the giving. Be an angel or a hero, either way you will receive the best gift of all. Remember, families need help not just at Christmas time… A special thanks to Bill Pary of Loaves and Fishes Meal Program in Cambridge for offering to help families in the Boston area!
| Khrystal D | MASSACHUSETTS – Boston area: Hi, my name is Khrystal and I am the single parent of a beautiful 4 year old boy. I currently work at a University as an assistant, but the pay is extrodinarily low. After daycare ($1,000/mo) is ripped from my pay check, I am left with $251/week. My rent alone (for a one bedroom that my son and I share) cost $1000/mo. I continue to keep my job because of the market and because I am able to go to college for free as an employee (at nights). It is the sacrifice I make now for a better future for my son. I recenlty received my monthly eviction notice and am still behind $200 on rent and have not even begun to save for December’s rent (due today). I am considered the working poor and was denied by DTA (Welfare) being told that I could receive services if I added to my family size (What? They are suggesting I have another child that I can’t afford; no wonder this country is falling apart). My LICSW from my divorce calls me “supermom” and told me that I would do better if I did not work, but I have too much pride to lay down and die. I often cannot go to food pantries (as I have no car and most pantries have p/u during the work week). I cannot get other state assistance because they use DTA as a benchmark for accepting into other assistance programs (WIC; Fuel Assistance, Toys for Tots). I often go hungry saving what little food I have for my son. We do not have the common necessities (heat/food) or taken-for-granted luxuries (no TV or Internet/toys for Christmas/tree). The problem is that society tells children that if they are “naughty” that they will not get toys from Santa. Knowing that I can’t even afford a tree or to keep the roof over our head and now my son is going to believe that he is “naughty” when he is in deed a wonderful child. It just breaks my heart. Any help with bring Christmas into our home is welcome and would be greatly appreciated. You would be making a difference in a young boys life. God bless!I have contacted local churches and Salvation Army and have received no response. Any of the items below either new or used are acceptable. I just want to have something to give to him, as he so much deserves it. My son has asked Santa for the following: Fisher-Price GeoTrax Fire Station Fisher-Price GeoTrax Quarry Fisher-Price Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play Set – Rumbling Gold Mine Run LeapFrog TAG Reading System – Green LeapFrog TAG Junior Activity Storybook – Thomas & Friends: Best Friends Soccer Ball (kids size) Tennis Racket (kids size)Many, many thanks, |
| cherylyn pacheco | MASSACHUSETTS: I am a disabled veteran who is raising my three grandsons, ages 5,4 and 2 my daughter is in the hospital due to mental health issues and will be for the foreseeable future. I am hoping someone could possibly help with Christmas for my little ones. They have been thru so much all ready. I receive a small disability check monthly with barely meets the day to day necessities. We do not have cable or Internet. So trying to cut the budget for Christmas is impossible. We would be so appreciative of anything anyone feels they could donate, new or used. If anyone that feels that they are in a position to help me out with my boys I will feel forever grateful. Happy Holidays to all and I hope every one has a happy and healthy holiday season. |
| Jennifer | MASSACHUSETTS – Boston area: Hi, My name is Jennifer, I live in Boston ma and I’m the (single) proud parent of an 8yr old son and an 18mth old daughter. My children are my world, and all I want for Christmas is for them to have a nice Christmas. Unfortunately at this time I Fear I will not be able to provide that for them. I have been unemployed, do to the closing of the company. I am also in the current situation where I’m moving my family from an extremely unsafe, unhealthy building, a building where our apartment has been broken into far to many times by neighbors, neighbors who have threatened our lives and who stole the very last of my savings! If there is anyone out there able and willing to help my children have a nice christmas, I would be so very grateful! Please contact me even if you know of any organizations that are available to help. Thank you ever so much! |

| Tammy | MASSACHUSETTS – Norton area:Not sure if this is where I would post, but I am doing my best to be strong during this holiday season. I have recently moved to Massachusetts from Maine to help my best friend and her daughter. My BF’s husband had been wrongfully taken from their home and he was the only money maker in the family due to their daughters disability that needs her mother around her 24 hours a day. Not only do they have very little money right now, they are trying to afford a lawyer to get him home for the holidays.I personally know that she will not ask for help. She has never had to ask for anything before as they had been able to afford things, but now that her husband is gone, she doesnt know what to do. I moved down here for her and her daughter to give them mostly moral and mental support as I live off of very limited funds and I have a child myself. Does anyone know of any places that would help my best friend and her kids out over the holidays? Would there be a place that would help me since I am out of state? I usually get help from my local places, but since I am not there (and wont be back there until her husband is back home), I am in need. I have a 4 year old girl and she has a 9 year old girl.Please let me know if you know of any places that could possibly help us. |
