Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all my friends out there on the Internet! I am not the type to ever ask for help, usually I'm the one helping!

I became sick about a year ago just recently confirmed to be Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy, and Lumbar Myelopathy. Due to the doctor's appointments, and tests I lost my job and am now behind on all my bills and will have to undergo a few major surgeries. I am receiving some government assistance; however, that is woefully short of enough to feed us, let alone get some presents for my beautiful babies for Christmas. Anything you donate will be delivered directly to me and used for gifts for the kids, surgeries, food, and rent.

I know a lot of us are struggling, but if you have a spare few bucks you could really change our lives and do some incredible good this holiday season. I have always helped others in their time of need, and there for everyone and anyone always. This time I need some help for my children and me, and I'm hoping that some of you out there will be able to help provide that. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all, and thank you for anything you can do!
