Like many, many families this year, we have both been laid off with no incoming coming in. And, with Christmas in just a few months, I am stumped as to how I can give my son any type of Christmas at all. He is 11 years old and will be 12 on December 22nd. I have tried calling the 2 local agencies that I know about that give assistance toward Christmas gifts, only to be told by both that 12 is the cut-off age, and since he will technically be 12 before Christmas, there is nothing they can do. I was searching online for any other available assistance to families at Christmas time, and I came across this site. I don't know if this will even reach anyone, but if it does, thank you for reading. If anyone knows of any place I can go to get help, or if you are looking to sponsor a child this holiday season, please let me know. This is my last hope to give my son a good Christmas. I am in the Gaston County area of North Carolina.
