I am a single mother of 5 children 3 boys 12, 10, 18mths and two girls 6 and 4 and we are desparately seeking a holiday angel. We have been through some hard times and 1 amazing reunification of my 6 year old little girl. She had been displaced from us now for 2 in a half years after her father took her and never brought her home. they vanished without a trace pretty much and for the last 2 in a half years we had been searching for her. Then in may we received a phone call from cps of oregon telling me that they have my daughter in protective custody and her father was in jail for sexual abuse with a minor being that he had gotten a 16 yr old runaway pregnant. Well it took 6 months of major financial loss but one amazing and long awaited gain of my daughter being returned home just days before her 6th bday. well we spent all our money on the trips to oregon for the court hearings, our mental state was stomped on all the while making us feel like we were not fit to care for her although I had her full blooded sister and 3 half brothers in my care. Well 6 months later after spending every last penny the case was dropped and she came home. But that left my family in a gynormous financial hole. I ended up 3 days after she came home with out electricity and water. I was eligible for energy assistance and after a month with illegal water i finally got my water back on but that left us with nothing to get presents for the kids with. I am on afdc and all of that goes to rent. so I am asking for help from anyone that can help. thank you for taking the time to read even if you can't help. Happy holidays and God Bless You.
