Unemployed single mother of two toddlers, hoping for a little Christmas magic after a hard year
← Back to all Adopt-A-Family listings
FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A single mother in Paterson is raising two little boys, ages 4 and 2. This has been a challenging year, and providing the everyday necessities has had to come first, leaving very little for Christmas gifts. She is currently unemployed and is also looking for help with food, job support and child care. Her boys are too young to understand the cost of things, but they understand the joy of Christmas, the surprise of a wrapped present and the feeling of being remembered. She is not asking for anything extravagant, just a few gifts for her two toddlers and perhaps something small for herself, so the family can share a little Christmas joy together. A thoughtful gift would mean more to them than she can put into words.
