Sign Up for Christmas Help Reminder
There are charitable agencies and organizations who, with the assistance of donations and volunteer support, help make the holidays a little merry for families who are experiencing troubled times. In order to help families in need, the agencies and organizations need to know how many families will be receiving aide in the way of food, holiday meals, and presents for their children. For the holiday gift giving, ages and names of the children are also needed so they can attempt to provide presents that will put a smile on each child’s face.
If you are a family, or single person, in need of holiday assistance please contact your local charities as soon as possible. Ask them if they provide holiday assistance and if so, what are their requirements and deadlines. If you wait too long, you may not be able to sign up. Remember they depend on the kindness of others for donations of food, gifts, and money. In a time when so many people are not as well off as they were in the past, the charities may be receiving less than they had in the past as well.
If you are a family, or single person, who is in a position to help the charities provide holiday assistance, please contact the charities as soon as possible to find out how you can help families in need this year.
Posts below will lead you to some of the charities who provide holiday assistance:
- Christmas Help for Low Income Families
- Wish Upon a Hero
- Christmas Help for Families in Need: Boston Area
- Christmas Help for Families in Need: Lafayette, Indiana
- Where to Find Help for Your Family
To all of you who are seeking help for your family,
I have closed comments. Unfortunately, the few “donors” who responded with offers to help turned out to be deceitful. It breaks my heart to read all the requests for Christmas help and to find that so few are willing to donate. And it makes my blood boil knowing now that there are people who don’t mind adding to your heartbreak by playing a sick joke by offering help and then not responding. I am truly sorry I couldn’t help any of you.

hi there my name is maria coronado im a single parent with five kidz//i dont have a job and nothing to offer my kidz this christmas i really need help…please help me
Hello, My name is Michelle Wilhelm, I am desperatly writing you in the
hopes of help. Me and my fiance Jason Waulk have four children all girls ,
three of them are his from a previous marriage we have permanent custody of
them..we gained it a few years ago after there mom lost them to state for
good and we stepped up and did what we had to do to get them from foster
care to our home. His children are in therapy once a week, and see a
psychiatrist once a month..They all three are on lots of medicine because
they are ADHD, have sleeping problems, attachment disorders, anger
problems, and just some problems as a result of being put in foster homes a
number of times while living with their mom and then being taken from her
completely and being told they would never be able to live with her again.
Our middle daughter Jenna also only has one hand she was born without fingers on the other so things in general are hard for her plus she has been made fun of alot. They have numerous problems as a result of all the have been through they
struggle in school at times, they have behavior problems which is natural
for any kid who has gone through every thing that they have, they now only
get see there mom every other weekend and the courts put visitation rights
on us because she technically has no rights to them but we allow her to see
them but have the right to stop visits at any time if we feel necessary.
They are also in the process of the divorce proceedings which will finalize
everything but is tough on the children because they now understand mommy
and daddy will not get back together. Since we have had custody of his
three children we have tried to provide them with a stable home with love
and structure to get them back on track. They are getting better with time
but still have problems but our at least happy now and know they are loved
and in a home where they will be taken care of. In the past year though we
have fell on some hardships last december I became pregnant after being
told years prior that i would never be able to get pregnant due to large
amount of cysts on my ovaries, but as a suprise and miracle I did become
pregnant. Unfortunately during this pregnancy I became high risk with a
variety of problems and was not allowed to work, was limited to how long I
could be up. My fiance was the only one working trying to pay all our bills
we had to move from a house to an apartment where we lost alot of space, he
worked as many hours as possible but only making 7.75 an hour even working
over fourty hours a week we still got behind. On top of all this our cars
transmission decided to stop working all besides first gear so we dont have
a car we can drive. So we have to rely on cabs or others or mostly walking to get where we
need to go. We do not recieve any child support from his childrens mother
because she will not keep a job once they start making her pay. So we soley
rely on his income to support our house hold. On september 11 I gave birth
to our daughter by emergency c sections because of complications she is now
seven weeks old and doing pretty well. Unfortunatly after seeing my doctor
for my six week check up they found some complications and will only
release me to work no more than twenty hours a week when I am released. Unfortunatly with four kids and only him working and trying
to get caught up and keep our bills paid. We find ourselves in the holiday
season with no money to buy christmas gifts for our children. They are
great kids who have been through alot and have been trying hard to behave
and do everything can to help out with home chores and everything. They
have even been trying to improve in school and are just getting settled
back in to a normal life again. We do not want to disappoint them without
being able to provide a christmas because they deserve one we our just
finacially not able to do it so we are asking for help. We do not have a
car so we can not get to a place to sign up for help. We know
you all provide help to families in desperate need . I was wondering if there was a way
that you all could help us since we have to walk everywhere and this is our only hope to provide our kids with something. I can send who ever all
the information on the children or family any information
at all you need i can provide…I am just begging for help because I have
no way to get to anywhere to get some…I am desperate please help us
provide a christmas for our children. If you can help in any way please let
us know I will get you any info needed. Also my childrens names and ages
are Haley Jo Waulk age 13, Jenna Lynn Waulk age 10, Kaitlyn Paige Waulk age
9, Caliah Trintiy Nicol Waulk age 7 weeks and we live at
Lawrenceburg Indiana 47025 I am a desperate mom and I just dont want to see my kids faces on christmas morning when they have nothing.
Thanks and God Bless You,
Michelle Wilhelm

Sandra, Go to the 5 links at the bottom of the page. Click on the first one; it will tell you about the different charities you can contact for holiday help. If you have a local Salvation Army or United Way or Catholic Charities, call them and ask about signing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and presents for the kids. They may also have a food pantry where you can receive food once a month. These charities may also be able to give you other charities to contact for help. Cincinnati may have organizations that reach out to families in need – Kiwanis, Lions, companies, newspapers, etc. Look for posters asking for donations – call the number, let them know you need help and would like to know if you can be added to their list. If they can’t help, ask if they know of others who might be able to help you. Let me know if any of this helped you find help – it might help others, too.
