Mia and her family have never had to worry about celebrating Christmas. But this year is different. The past few months have been a challenge for Mia. Without the Empty Stocking Fund, Mia may not be able to provide presents for her four children.
Suffering from nerve damage in both arms, Mia is unable to work. Without a steady income, Mia is unable to provide proper housing for her family. Thankfully, a friend of Mia’s has been letting her and her children stay with them. But Mia wants to get back on her own feet.
The single mother recently applied for disability. While she waits to hear back, she has been stressing about how she will pay for presents for her children. With their ages ranging from four to 13, they are at the age where they are expecting presents under the tree come Christmas morning. Especially since the family has always celebrated the holiday.
Mia is thankful for programs like the Empty Stocking Fund. The generosity and kindness that comes from the program means a lot to her, especially during the holiday season. With help from the Salvation Army, Mia and her family will be able to continue their Christmas traditions.
