Lydia and her family on’t have a very merry Christmas without the help from the Empty Stocking Fund. A single mother with no support, Lydia has been struggling. During the pandemic when schools were shut down, Lydia had to stay home to be with her five children. That is when Lydia lost her job.

Although schools are open again, Lydia is still facing hard times. She has not been able to keep a steady job since re-entering the workforce and is running out of options.

With Christmas just days away, Lydia does not have the money to buy presents for her children this year. Lydia is hoping that this program will help give her children the Christmas they are anticipating.
