Be a holiday miracle for local families.
Remote learning forced this single father to stay home with three teenage sons, including one living with Type 1 Diabetes and one living with severe autism. The family is on Social Security and SNAP, but there isn’t enough to cover all of their expenses. The father says financial support to get caught up on household bills and provide food and clothing for his family will go a long way. Please help this single father.
