FIN #25-OR
Please contact OkiMom, if you have something for this family.
What is your family situation? After a short layoff, dh is working again, but making just enough to pay our bills and not do anything beyond that (like buy clothes or dish soap). I am a full-time student and homeschooling the kids. I've been avoiding applying to be a HH family because I thought I should leave it for people who "really need the help," but I realized today that we're those people. I've been wanting to buy pants for our younger boys that actually fit (theirs' are getting short) and I don't have money in the budget for it.
Which holiday(s) does your family celebrate? Christmas
Any allergies or sensitivities in the family? (e.g. cat, dog, smoke) no
