"Young family living week to week like most people, faces eviction. The father (Brian) is in the hospital following partial foot amputation due to diabetes. He has missed so much work that his boss said if you cannot be at work on Monday, you are fired. They have three boys...ages 8 (Chris), 12 (Ian) and 17 (David). While the father did qualify for temporary disability, it will not start until January or February. They were unable to pay December rent and already face eviction. We are trying to raise just enough money to get their bills paid for December.....and buy a few gifts for the kids for Christmas. Thanks so much for your help."
