As Christmas is approaching and the economy is not as good as it used to be, more and more people are asking where to find help for Christmas. Many working parents, grandparents, single parents, and those who are unemployed need help with Christmas to give their children the joy they still believe in. But, where to go to find help for Christmas?

Where can I find help for Christmas?

Unfortunately, most Christmas help organizations are non profit organizations which means that they have small budget to advertise about their Christmas help programs if at all. You can search online for where to find help for Christmas and you will come up with very few places that will give you any assistance. If you happen to come across one, the deadline for applying for Christmas help is often passed.

Many families that need help for Christmas leave it too late to apply for Christmas help with organizations that offers free food, toys, clothing, and help with Christmas gifts for the kids. The Salvation Army Christmas help program, for example, need needy families to apply for Christmas help as early as October to qualify for any Christmas help that year at all. And, even if you manage to apply for Christmas help through the Salvation Army in time, there is no guarantee that you will get the Christmas help you need.

Help for Christmas

My family really needs help my husband who has always been Mr Christmas is not this year. I am worried about him because we have 5 kids together and we cant buy them anything this year. He just got a temp job that just pays the bills. He hasn't even put up the tree this year because he is so depressed. All I want is Christmas for our kids so they will be happy and that would make my husband happy thank you.

Desperately need help

Hello. I am a single mom to one little boy. I am very behind on bills, rent, utilities, student loans etc. I have no money to buy my little one Christmas. I have no one to turn to and no one to help me out. If you could help please contact me. I never thought I would have to do this. I know that one day I will help someone in return. Happy holidays!

Single Dad

I really don't like the whole idea of asking for any kind of help from anyone, but I don't have a whole lot of options. My son and I live in Lee's Summit. He's still under the impression that Christmas gifts are made @ the "elf's workshop". I was in a auto accident on August 30th this year. I had a school bus pull out in front of me on my way home from work. My car was totaled. I was recently discharged from physical therapy after 5 weeks. I have a real hard time with my neck and my back still. I didn't carry full coverage auto insurance, or medical insurance. I have been painting houses for about seven years and remodeling them for the last year or so. Needless to say, life in general has been a real challenge getting back on my feet. I've had to pay all my own medical expenses up front(even though the accident was deemed not my fault). I lost my job, and I haven't exactly had the best luck finding another job where I can kind of pace myself a little more than my usual eight hour days. I'm not sure what good if any placing this ad will do, but I have to put it in God's hands as we all must do at some point for whatever reason. I'm obviously worried that I've just about completely ran out of time to try to get any work by Christmas. My son is 6 years old and he's sharp as a tack. I'm very proud of my little man. I wish there was a lot more I could do for him this year. If there's anyone out there who can help in any way...PLEASE contact me
