It is the Season of Giving and I do not have anything but love to give my kids. If all other children only received love as a present maybe that would be ok, but since everyone else is getting presents, it would be wonderful if my babies (always will b my babies, even when they have their own children:-D) could have a wonderful Christmas too. Do not get me wrong, Love is a valuable gift that many children do not receive. I pray those children that do not receive the love they deserve get that more than gifts. I have always worked my whole life until about a yr ago. I fell off my truck I was at work and it was not a big deal and my fault- so I said nothing. I thought I just strained my back, but noo- it could not b that simple! I have been in a wheelchair now since 2 months after this fall. My x-husband was very abusive and pinched my spinal cord and shook my head by my hair (similar to whiplash) in 1995 and I have been in pain ever since. Now, over the years, my spine gets worse by the day. I am on medicaid so not many doctors are willing to help us and we just got a local Neurosurgeon. I pray that I will b fixed by him and on my feet again soon. I am living with my mom and trying to help with the $408 a month in cash I make and the $540 or so in food stamps. She cleans houses and is trying to pay for everything else...which is slowly digging our hole deeper and deeper. The state takes child support out of my last husbands check, but it is less than the $408 I receive, so they keep it. I have applied for disability, denied once, appealed and waiting for their decision at this time. I would greatly appreciate anything anyone could do to help us. I know everyone has their own presents to give. Honestly- I do not care if it is even $1 that u can donate- I promise u that $1 will go toward one of my five kids presents. My oldest son is 16. His name is Jerrad. I have a daughter who is almost 15, Jacqueline. Another son who is 11, his name is Cameron. I also have another daughter and she is 9, her name is Kaitlynd. And last but not least- DJ- he is the youngest and my baby at almost 8.
