FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A single mother in Long Branch is raising three children, ages 17, 12 and 4, and works full time to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table and the bills paid. This year has been especially difficult financially, and after the basic needs and household expenses are covered there is very little left over for Christmas gifts. She is not asking because she has given up, but because right now she could truly use a helping hand. She would love for her children to feel the joy and excitement every child deserves at Christmas, and a sponsor would take a tremendous weight off her shoulders and give her children a little extra hope and happiness on Christmas morning.
