Christmas fund for a family in need
Donation protected
My name is Deidre Giles and I own a business called Sassy Deesigns. This year we are in a position to hold a fundraiser for two families in need for Christmas.
Family #1: This miracle of a 3 year old little boy was born on 7/11/11. Due to extreme complications from birth he was diagnosed about a year or so ago with Cerebral Palsy. His family has gone without eating themselves so that he can have everything he deserves and needs. They struggle day to day to keep up with mounds of medical bills that have come in and just keep coming in. The parents do without a lot of things and never have once complained and never would. They have never asked for help, and they never would. Let's pull together and make sure that they get the BEST Christmas for themselves and their child as well.
Family #2: I have been a single mom most of my little boys life. It hasn't always been easy but I always made do and he never went without a great christmas. My son is now 11 about to turn 12 in 3days.
My son has autism. He is high functioning, but made it difficult for me to keep jobs for the longest time. I still made do taking whatever jobs I could. Last year I helped a friend who basically set me up. I cashed a business check for him and it was fraudulant. 1500 worth out of my pocket. I never saw a penny of it and cant afford to take him to court. Because of that my son for the first time in his life missed out on christmas. We had no dinner and he really only received one gift and a bunch of junk from the dollar store.
This year, I am facing the same problem. I found out in Aug. that I am expecting after 12 years. WOW.... now come the life drop again. I had a good job. I had an early complication and although my dr cleared me for work because I could not gurantee that I would be able to do the minimum requirements for my job daily, the bosses said well then your not cleared and I was forced onto 12weeks medical leave unpaid. I thought, its ok, I can get unemployment, wrong. I do get ssi for my son but that goes towards the bills. As of tomorrow I will be evicted from my house which I own, I just rent the property (mobile home) and it is only because of a good friend that we will have a roof over our heads.
I am not one who asks for help easily, but I don't know how I could explain 2 years of no christmas to my guy. He still believes 100% in Santa, the Easter Bunny, you name it. I don't care about myself, I just wouldike him to have the christmas he deserves.
Please remember that we are raising money for TWO families. Anything over the goal amount is going to be split between 3 of the other families that were nominated so they too can have a possible Christmas because they are just as deserving.
