Here's a sampling of some of the stories we have received and confirmed so far.
Family with a 7 yr old daughter who is receiving services, she has been asking for a TV for Christmas but the family is unable to afford one. They do not own any other TV's.
Family with a 15 yr old son who is receiving services, he is also asking for a TV for Christmas and the family can not afford one. He is residing with his elderly grandmother who is in poor health and this boy helps to take care of her. He spends a lot of time at home because he is afraid to leave her and a TV would give him some entertainment :)
We are helping a family who has been homeless for a couple months. Mom and her 2 children were living in a hotel and had to leave because it was so expensive they are now staying with a friend. When they were evicted, they lost all their furniture. She has just found an apt to move in to next week, but has no furniture, tv, kids stuff or anything. This tv would greatly help make their Christmas awesome!!
We have another single mother of three that is moving into a new apartment and doesn't have money to purchase a tv for her family. This would be a great surprise for them!
The last family is a single mother of 6 getting ready to move from a friends house into her own home and can not afford a tv for the family because she has been saving all of her money for rent and used furniture.
While there are others, we wanted to share with you a sampling of just how difficult these financial hard times are on people in the area.
