I am a single mother of one. He is an 11 year old boy to who's father does not really bother. I have just moved to a new town to try and save so that I could go to school and better myself and the life for my son. I had a plan, so I thought. I started to get unemployment due to the fact that my employer would not let me start 30 minutes later, even though I let him know that I would stay 30 min later. I was denied even though there were some employees who did start later. My son's daycare center did not open until 6:15am I had to be at work by 6:00am. With that in mind I recieved unemployment moved and started going to school. Well my unemployments checks don't come regularly. My section 8 voucher has not been processed, so I have to pay full rent and my school start date was pushed back. I have been waiting for food stamps since 11/01/06. I am not on the bus route and I do not have a car. I am not used to not working and having money around christmas. I hope that I am not asking for much but could you maybe help me get something for my son and/or help me with my bills. I have an oil bill for the first time along with other utilities. My neighbor has helped me with food. I would not have had a turkey for Thanksgiving since I could not get home to see my family. It's getting so hard for friend's and families to help me, they have families and struggles of their own. This is so hard for me. Will you please help me help my son have a wonderful christmas. He is such a wonderful kid but he puts my worries on himself. He has a nervous disorder that when he gets nervous or upset he scratches. Right now his skin is becoming raw on his arm and legs. I am sure things are going to fall into place here in the next couple of weeks, but its just getting there. All I can do is give it to God and pray. Thank you for listening and taking the time to read this.
