About the family

I’m a single mom with 3 kids

I am a single mom raising my 3 kids alone. My 2 girls are competitive dancers and my son plays hockey so we are always on the run going here and there. We love watching hockey games and playing games together if/when we have time that we are all home together. We also love having that occasional movie night if we’re all home together.

Thank You

Being a single mom and working full time but barely making ends meet especially with the rising costs of things can really make the holidays less enjoyable. I do my best to keep my kids active in sports and give them what I can. Christmas seems to be the most difficult time of year because not being able to give my kids much else than what our daily life allows is heartbreaking to me. It means the world to me to see them smile on Christmas, watching them open gifts that they would normally not receive is only possible because of your thoughtfulness and generosity to help others. I can’t thank you enough for what you do to help my family have a better Christmas. May your holidays be filled with love and joy.
