About the family
I am a widower living with the youngest three of our seven children, our two dogs, and our two cats.
Our family has endured a great deal of trauma and turmoil since my wife’s death. We carry on the way she would have wanted us to, but it is challenging in the best of times and nearly impossible around the holidays with all of the demands they bring.

Girl Age 18
Vanilla scented candles, botanical Lego set, LED lights strings for bedroom decor… She likes listening to all kinds of music and doing all manner of artsy crafts. She’s also saving items working toward her first apartment sometime in the next year, so she could use general kitchen items like potholders, dish towels, and measuring cups & spoons.

Thank You
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping my family have a Christmas this year. I am very optimistic that our fortunes will turn soon and that we can repay your kindness and generosity to a family in need one day in the not-too-distant future. The gifts you’ve provided my family this year will allow me to keep the spirit of Christmas, something their mother loved more than anyone I’ve ever known, alive and well in our home. You have my deepest and most sincere gratitude. I hope you have a blessed holiday and a prosperous New Year.
