Brighten the holiday season for Mr. and Mrs. B and their children

 

Mr. and Mrs. B have four children and work hard to make ends meet, but Mrs. B’s hospitalizations due to severe pneumonia have brought immense challenges. Two of their children have autism and must be looked after at all times, causing Mr. B to miss work to take care of the children, which has taken a toll on the family financially. Despite the family’s health and financial challenges, Mr. and Mrs. B would still like to provide a joyful holiday season for their children.

A gift from you helps local neighbors

 

Mr. M is a veteran living alone on a fixed income. His landlord never accommodates his requests for repairs, so when it rains, his home floods. Mr. M also has asthma, and with no central air conditioning, he often struggles to breathe.

Give hope for a brighter future
