Well, I guess my story may sound similar to some others here. I am single mom of two beautiful girls ages 2 and 6. We were homeless in Maryland for over a year. I finally found housing here in Springfeild VA and about two weeks after moving here I lost my job. My car is getting ready to be repossed if I don't make a payment soon and Christmas is coming. I have tried so hard to keep order and balance in my girls life, that i kind of forgot about me. That's ok though, any good mom would have done the same.
I guess my six year old has felt this situation the hardest. She never really feels like she is at home. She got her first real room (even though she shares it). In only first grade she has been to four different schools. I have her in activites such as soccer and bowling (whatever mom can mange to afford at the time). She has a hard time making friends which I believe is because she know sthat she won't be there the next school year.
My fear right now is loosing my car and not being able to do anything for thm for christmas. I know christmas isn't about the gifts, it's about family and love and togethernes. However, my family makes a huge deal out of christmas and they have come to expect certain things from me. This year I am falling very short. My family has helped me so much in the last year that to ask them for anything else would be ludacris.
If anyone out there would like to help my babies this holiday season I would greatly appricate it. Please contact me and let me know.
Thank you and God Bless
