More than likely all of the charities that provide that kind of help have used all of their resources. Give the Salvation Army a call, but where I live they have a 20% increase in people wanting assistance and are $300,00 behind in donations. You can also call 211, it is a nationwide organizations called HELPLINE, and they keep a list of most of the charities in a given area. I start my Christmas shopping no later than Februaryand have been done for at least two months.

If more people would start early they wouldn't have to be asking for help. Your two older kids are old enough to understand your situation and the two year old shouldn't really notice the lack of gifts. Kids also don't need expensive, fad type gifts and they don't really need more than one gift, each. If you are on food stamps your social worker should be able to give you some ideas.

I think this is very rude to say. For one anyone who needs help with the holidays can't always start early like you think due to bills. I'm sure are not one who struggles around the holidays for saying such nonsense.

For two... Kids at any age shouldn't have to understand a parents situation just to not get a gift. How do you think the parents feel when they can't afford gifts. Think about what you say and how it effects people.

Try this page to find out about Toys for Tots in your area:

Also, have you asked your childrens' fathers and other relatives?
Another thought would be to call Kennedy Space Center and just ask if they have any Christmas charity programs. It looks as if you could start by calling 321-867-5000. I work elsewhere for the Federal Government. Government employees are very generous! Happy Holidays and Good Luck!
