Her lights are off, the bill is $600, she doesn't have a car and is working when she can. She needs money to get her lights back on and she needs a job. Donate on the site and says that it is for the electric bill. Wwww.giftsformoms.org.

Thanks to all of you who have donated furniture and clothing to my single mom's organization. They are always very appreciative. Kwyonica, stopped by to pick up a bunch of cute clothing donated by a young lady cleaning her closet.
She has an incredible story, she lost over 200 pounds and needed new clothing.

Can you help.
Normally, I take care of these kinds of situations through funds from my nonprofit but, I have not done a good job of fundraising lately, so our reserves are very low.
I received a desperate message from a single mom with four small children asking for food and help finding a customer service job. She has a car and is willing to work but right now she needs food for her children. She is waiting on food stamps, she said she applied but it is taking to long. She has gotten her allotments from local food banks in her area.
She is asking for, "meat, kid snacks, water, any kind of fruit. I’m down to canned good."
If you can help, she is stopping by this evening to pick up whatever food is donated.
Can you Paypal $20 to [email protected], donate items listed above or order online for pickup at the Walmart on Exchange in Allen.
Thanks in advance for your caring heart.
