I am a loving mother of four boys. I have always taught my children to give at Christmas. We have always donated toys and picked a child's name from the tree at our local store to buy a gift for. This year I find myself in need. My husband is disabled after breaking his neck in 1996. I am a hard working Mom who delivers pizzas on the side to try and make ends meet. We bought our home after my husband's injury, so we own it outright. We have no mortgage. I have gotten behind on my property taxes from 2005 and 2006 and just recieved a letter about my home being listed for Sheriff's Sale in three weeks. I spend all day yesterday, on Thanksgiving, praying that I would find an answer. I have little family and my kids really only have me and their Father to depend on. That puts so much pressure on me. I have never felt such fear and anxiety in my life. I just want to raise my children up in our humble, modest....albeit messy..home. I have not even thought about Christmas as it is too much to contemplate. I watch people like Tom and Katie marry in such lavish style and I wonder why the world is so unbalanced. I do not want extravagences like that...I just want to keep my kids safe. Please offer any words, advice or help you can. Thank you for listening...
