Just like an ordinary normal family they take their kids out to eat on a restaurant, go to the mall sometimes but for me life isn't like that. even i work 24/7 my income is not enough to buy my kids anything, it goes only for electric bills and everyday food. my wife is only selling retail cellphone loads at home. again, Christmas will come and we will celebrate it just like an ordinary day, nothing special. i think my life sucks and i'm not a good provider :(

I really just wanted to return a favor my brother as done for me a couple years ago. He bought me an iPhone 3g and I was speechless. I am currently unemployed and my brother and I a really close. Just want to show him that I can finally get him something for Christmas that I haven't been able to do the last 2 years, even if it is late Christmas present. Any help will be grateful and I am not proud of my self for doing this. Thank you and god bless you.

I had a good life. I was a 3rd grade teacher. The economy went bad, my position was eliminated. I have two beautiful daughters, ages 6 and 8. We live in a Van on a vacant lot. I went to the library to post this ad. It is so humiliating, stressful, and frustrating. My children walk down the street in order to board the school bus in front of an apartment complex to keep the other kids from picking on them. We have a small plastic Christmas tree on the dash and stockings hung on coat hooks. A local church helped me get two presents each for my children. I hate to beg. I am a hard worker. I went to school. I do not drink, do drugs, or smoke. It hardly seems fair. I have no family who can help. No one is hiring. Because of my kids, I have to be available for them after 3:30 each day. This prevents me form working afternoon or night shifts. When I was teaching, my children could hang out in my classroom until time to go home. Please help us. I never DREAMED that I would be in this situation.

My dad has multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair so my mom is our only income. Because of this my mom works two jobs 6 days a week and money is still tight. She does so much for me so I want to get her something really special for her birthday. Any amount will help me even a few cents. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out
