This family needs help getting Christmas presents for their teenager. They have been able to get help from community resources for their three younger children, but they do not help with teenagers. The family has a tight budget and does not want their oldest child to feel left out while the siblings are opening gifts. If this need is met the family will have a complete Christmas with none of the children left out. The family would appreciate gift cards to Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, or Walmart.

Normal Request
A local single foster mom is caring for two teen boys in foster care and would love to surprise them with some brand new shoes! We know it's a big ask, but they can't stop talking about Jordans and would be BLOWN AWAY to get some. Would also be great with some Amazon gift cards to be able to pick out their absolute favorites! One wears size 7.5, one wears size 10. If Jordans are outside of a comfortable price range, they would still be grateful for an Amazon gift card of any amount to be able to pick out some new shoes! Thank you!

This family is currently going through hard times financially. They have 2 girls and are living in a camper currently, trying to find a more permanent place to live. This mom has always put her girls needs over her own and always has a plan B and C if needed. This mom could really use either a Wal-Mart gift card for basic needs, or a gas card as they live about 45 mins from her girls' school which has been a constant for the girls and she could use gas to help get them to and from their school. Any help would be greatly appreciated from this family during this time.
