A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE !!!
Hello fellow neighbors. I am asking for help for my dad as a surprise. They 're fridge and cupboards are bare. Food is scarce.
Since my mother died 4.5 years ago, my dad's income has drastically dropped.
He is in a rough neighborhood where his car got vandalized and then hit by a snow plow totalling his vehicle all in the course of last year. With no proof he had to cover most of the expense. He financed a new car because he can't walk distances. The car is more expensive but it was the cheapest one he could get
They haven't really been able to have a good Christmas.
He helps some women in the neighborhood who finish work late by driving them home to ensure they're safety. He has taken care of my son and adopted him when he was 2 years old. He struggles on CPP paying expenses for 2 other family members apart from himself. My brother only works part-time, leaving my dad paying for his food on his little bit of income.
I am posting this hoping that some people who are better off, can maybe help them out and surprise them with a good Christmas .
I am in school and on social assistance I want to help them out but I simply can't. I struggle just to make my ends meet as single mom with my 10 month old daughter.
They could use food and whatever else you may think of.
My dad is too proud to ask people for help. The city doesn't give much in terms of a Christmas hamper. There's just too many people in need.He barely make's it each month. Sometimes his fridge is completely empty and cupboards will have only a few cans inside.
He was a hard worker in his younger years and now works hard to survive. He severed a tendent in his thumb many years ago and then got all sorts of health problems. He is an amazing dad and man, always thinking of others before himself.
I am hoping he can have a chance to be thought of by someone else.
At the moment my son (15 years old) doesn't have a winter jacket, I have been looking through thrift stores trying to find a good one. He's 15 years old and picky. I haven't found one I can afford that's to his liking. I feel terrible that I can't help my family in their times of need.
Thank you for your time
Happy holidays, cheers to all of you
