Hello, I\'m writing in hopes that you may be able to help my family for Christmas this year. My family has been through so much these past 2 years (not to mention hardship after hardship for many years) (we lost 2 family members tragically my aunt and grandfather last year 4 months apart and I just lost my mother from a brain aneurism on September 9th which is my oldest daughters birthday) she fought so hard for 11 months, was my best friend, only 54 years old and was the hardest thing to go through in my life. none of them had life insurance and it\'s really been very difficult financially. My brother and I are also caring for my 86 year old grandmother who has got to be the strongest woman that I know.
On top of that, last Febuary, my home was broken into while I took my kids away (we went to a Hotel about an hour away to swim and get away from all of the stress) for a weekend and when we returned home, the window air conditioner that we had in the window was pushed in and everything that my kids and I ever owned was gone. They took it all my daughters playstation 4, my sons Xbox one, iPad, TV\'s, clothing, etc... It took many many years of doing layaways and saving up to provide my children with those things. We were devastated and scared. Right now, I\'m also dealing with having terrible back problems which prevents me from maintaining a job. Im currently awaiting an answer from disability so my only income is government assistance and after I pay my portion of rent, I have $150 left for the month. I\'ve been looking and applying for mostly cleaning jobs even though I have doctors orders not to work but I haven\'t been successful as of yet and as the holidays are approaching, I am truly getting more upset and stressed out by the day.
My children are all honor roll students, my oldest daughter is involved in all sports and her passion is soccer. She also wants to be a chief and own her own restaurant. My kids are respectful, well mannered, understanding, caring, kind kids. We are a giving family. We help others in anyway that we can. Even in our lowest times, we still find ways of helping people even if it\'s simply giving an elderly person a ride home that we see walking or donating clothing.
My kids names and ages are
Daysia female age 15
Daniel male age 12
Kayla female age 8
If there is anyway that anyone is willing to help, please email me or you can reach me at 201-275-5088
Thank you so much for taking the time out to read my email. God bless,
Karyn
