Thanks for the prayers. Yes, she sees a doctor once every 6 months to monitor her heart. Thankfully she is doing well so far. Now if her other problems would be so easy to deal with…lol. God Bless you, and your family!

I would assume it is the same. Where are you from? I have never heard of incapacibility benefits.

SSI is social security disability

Please take me off the help list, as my children have been chosen to get help for Christmas from a wonderful family in Tennessee. God Bless you all and have a wonderful Christmas season!

Thanks for your reply, but I have already checked with all the local churches and Salvation Army…they won’t help because they have age limits on the children they help, and my daughters are “too old”. I guess they don’t think young teenagers need christmas gifts.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all! I am a married mother of 2 wonderful teenage daughters who have physical and mental disabilities. My husband only brings in 200.00 a week before taxes and I receive SSI Disability, medicaid, and foodstamps. This year has hit us very hard, and we are unable to buy anything for our girls for Christmas. Our oldest is Kalina and she just turned 15 on Dec. 4th. She has diabetes, ADHD, Bipolar 2 disorder, and was recently diagnosed with compulsive eating disorder. She has been in and out of the hospital so much in her lifetime that we jokingly tell the staff at our local hospital that she should have a permanent room with her name on the door. Our youngest is Amanda (Mandy for short) and she will be 14 on Jan. 11th. She has a heart problem (Mitral Valve Prolapse w/regurgitation), ADHD, Bipolar 2 disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. They are both on medications for most of these. I can’t seem to find any help in our area for them for Christmas. Most places tell me that they don’t meet the age requirements because they are too old. They still deserve a Christmas. We don’t even have a Christmas tree or decorations. It just doesn’t seem fair that they have to suffer because we have hit hard times. They are so kindhearted. Just this year at our church, our oldest requested Christmas help for a needy family she knows of, even though she knows we don’t have the money to afford Christmas ourselves. She is always thinking of everyone else first. Our youngest wants to donate blankets to the homeless in our area, but we don’t even have a way to do that for her. These giving children need help this year. If we can get ourselves back on our feet, hopefully by next Christmas, we can be on the other end and help a family or two out. Please consider helping us. Kalina is 15, and wears a 2-3X shirt and size 22-24W in pants. She is 5′10. She wears a size 11 1/2 to a 12 wide womens shoe.
Amanda is 13, and wears a size 10/12 ladies stretchy jeans, a size M-L shirt, and a size 7-7 1/2 womens shoe. My email address is (email removed). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not asking for anything for myself or my husband, as we will be happy if our wonderful children will have a happy Christmas morning. Thanks in advance for your kindness and help!
