All I can do is cry, the days seem to get harder and harder to make it through. Most of the time all I do is just cry. This year has been very hard for me and my children and all I want is for them to have a good Christmas and be happy. Their happiness means my happiness. Afterall, they are the only reason I get out of bed each morning and make it through that day to go to bed each night. For those who can't tell, I am in a deep depression.
My name is Teresa and I'm 24 years old. I have two of the most beutiful babies in the world, Hailey, who just turned three and Hayden, who is almost six months.
This year has not only been hard for me but it has been especially hard for Hailey. Hayden was born in June and she has never accepted him. Then two months ago my husband walked out and left us. Hailey is hurt beyond what words can say. She was devastated. She talks about him all the time and asks me every single day if he's coming home. I would like to say that he is but I beleive in my heart he's not. Now she's a three year old who's filled with anger and sadness.
I am in no way finacially secure. My husband receives disability, and the children receive a very small monthly goverment check. I am unable to work because I have bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress, major depression, and anxiety attacks. I do see a doctor, therapist and take meds but lately none has helped.
I had been buying the children presents along the way each month with whatever little bit of money we had left but about a month and a half ago I had to go out of town for a few days and while I was gone someone broke in and completely cleaned out our home. They stole our furniture, the presents and even took a role of pink carpet for my little girls room. I was so beyond devasted. The state police came and dusted for fingerprints but said they had wore gloves. I put ads in the paper, hung up signs and did everything I could but no one would come forward with any information. And now my daughter dosen't even have any carpet in her room because we had saved to afford that. I can't afford to replace everything they took. We wouldn't of had that furniture if a realitive hadn't gave it to us in the first place.
I am so worried about Christmas. The children have no tree and no presents. I know that Hayden is to little to know what's going on but Hailey isn't. And I know that Hailey needs some kind of happiness to get through all this. I don't want anything for Christmas this year but for Hailey and Hayden to be happy.
Hailey loves cats, Dora and baby dolls. She also needs some clothles very badly. She is very tall and skinny, she needs about a 4t and wears size nine in shoes.
Hayden needs clothles and baby furniture. Things like a playpen, a swing, a bouny seat, a high chair, and maybe a walker. He's a very big baby, 20lbs and tall. He wears 12 months in clothes.
And Both wear a size five in diapers.
I don't think I could afford shipping on anything at this point. Instead I would like to have gift cards for them. We have a WalMArt, KMart, Big Lots, Dollor Store, Family Dollor Store, any online store like JC Penny, ToysRUS or anything else. I don't care to send copies of receipts or a detailed list of what they got. I also don't mind accepting anything that is used.
I know that the children need alot of stuff but I would be grateful for any help at all, especially presents for Christmas.
So I am asking, if you can help my babies then please help us. You can email me at teldridge07@yahoo.com
Thanks for reading and may God bless you, and one more thing please pray for the happiness of Hailey and Hayden.
