Christmas Help in Florida?

I am a single mom who is disabled and in need of Christmas help for my 3 children. I have searched and searched and am unable to find anything in my area. Is there any way I could be helped in finding local aid for Christmas? Thank you.

The charities that I know of that provide Christmas help are the ones that are known nation wide and I know they are in your area too. That being said most of them have cut off dates of mid-November for taking applications. This is so that they can do the budgeting for a certain number of kids. Most of the also have age cut off limits of 12-13 years.

If you have a social worker with the Department of Social Services talk to that person, they might know of some help. Also speak to your pastor. Sometimes they will take up a special, anonymous offering for a needy family in the congregation. Do your kids have grandparents, aunts, and uncles that will be sending them gifts?

If they do, that could be counted as the Christmas gifts for this year.

Several years ago, I decided I had to do something that made Christmas less stressful, so I started buying one gift a month with a $20.00 limit per gift. If I saw something on sale that had a $20.00 value and it was something that I knew one of the people on my list wanted or needed, I got it. I would start in January and I have been done for about six months. By doing this I also avoid all the crowds and hassle of shopping this close to Christmas.
