PLEASE HELP MY SON HAVE A CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!!
He is fourteen years old, and I know some of you think he'll understand, it's hard times. Yes he understands, but for him it's been hard times ever since he can remember! His dad walked out on us when he was four, and at that time my health was so bad, I almost died. My little boy actually helped me get well. At such a young age he would make us a sandwich and some soup, and really take care of me. My health has improved a lot since, but I still can't return to work yet. I receive Social Security and SSI, but to pay rent, all the utilities, and the many bills I have was taking everything I had. Now with the cuts from the government... I can't even pay all my bills. I'm always about $200 short now. He never really asks for much, and doesn't ask often. But when he does want something, I'm so tired of answering "I know honey, I wish I could get that for you, but we just don't have the money." As angry as he is at his dad, he might call him and mention something or hint that he'd like him to send money...his dad promises it, but only for pacification. My son waits, and it never happens. When he hurts, I hurt. I just hope someone could maybe please let him have a Christmas this year, he'd not only be surprised...but he'd be so happy, words could not express the joy he'd have! He loves music, and would really love to have an electric guitar, or a 5 string bass electric guitar. He taught himself to play, and it amazes me. He has an old bass right now, but it was just to learn on, it has broke many times, and he keeps rewiring it, gluing it, etc. It doesn't have to be real expensive. Actually he'd pretty much be happy with just about anything a 14 year old has. He's been wanting a phone for about 3 years now. He has to ask to borrow someone's phone at school for an important call to me, and I can never call him. Other kids can't believe he still has no phone. He's a good boy, and he really deserves something. He keeps offering his services to work for people, but the two times he actually got work, he gave me the money for gas. If he could have a Christmas, that would also give me a Christmas...because just knowing he had a gift would be a huge gift to me! I also have two older adult sons that are married and have kids of their own. They're struggling, but they have a lot of support from their wives families. It just makes me sad I can't get presents for my grandkids or for any of my 3 sons. But the 14 year old still lives with me, it's just us two. Last 2 birthdays he didn't have any gifts either, and his birthday is on the 4th of July. He says the fireworks is his gift. One Christmas he said " It's o.k. mom, just make a cake for Jesus... it's his birthday. He tries to make me feel better, because he knows I'm sad. When he says things like that trying to make me think he isn't disappointed, I feel so so very bad. My goal is to return to work in March, April at the latest. I'm just hoping we can last that long. When I named him, I knew his name meant "Christ Like". And he is very kind and helps kids who need it. He's earned the name. Merry Christmas to all! I hope you can help. God Bless!
