in response to djpcan... Could really use help. I am helping to take care of my god-son and honestly all the income coming in is being used for rent, food, and basic clothing. i put him first in everything and though i teach him christmas is not about gifts, because we are christians, what 8 year old boy doesn't want toys for christmas, remote control cars, and games. I don't have a tragic story, no one died, and I am not diseased, I am just a hard working 34 year old woman, living in NYC, dedicating time to our youth in the public schools. But at times get a lil frustrated that I can't even buy my own self new clothes,or my mother, father, god-son, sisters, a simple christmas gift, because I use every paycheck to stay a float. 300.00 to 500.00 dollars would make a wonderful christmas, Or we wouldn't have to exchange money at all I could just make a wish list of a few items. My purpose is by no means to take advantage, but i have learned that asking for what you would like in prayer sometimes goes a long way! Even if you can not help, I pray your hoilday is a blessed one! thank you!
