FAMILY BACKGROUND: 47-year-old mother of four carrying the weight of medical, financial, and caregiving crises while trying to keep her family stable through an extremely difficult year. Her husband was seriously injured after falling from a ladder and has not been able to fully recover or return to work, leaving her as the primary support for the household. Her older son lives with type one diabetes and low vision and has experienced significant health setbacks this year, while her younger son has an intellectual disability and has struggled academically. She is also the caregiver for her bedridden mother, who depends on her daily. Despite overwhelming challenges, she continues to hold the family together with determination and love. She hopes her children can wake up to Christmas gifts this year, bringing joy and light after a long, painful season.
