FAMILY BACKGROUND: 38-year-old mother of three working hard to support her children after her husband was laid off and the family has struggled to make ends meet. Her parent submitted this application on her behalf, describing how she is the only one consistently employed, doing everything she can to keep the household stable and provide for her kids. With rising costs and limited income, the family is barely managing basic expenses, leaving little room for holiday gifts or replacements for broken items in the home. She is deeply committed to her children and continues to work hard despite ongoing financial strain, hoping this Christmas can bring them some joy and relief.
