Cindy and her family have had a trying year. The stay-at-home mother is asking for help as her family tries to stay afloat in the wake of her husband's COVID-19 diagnosis. He's now fully recovered, but work is scarce due to the holidays.

As Cindy’s husband tries to get back into the workforce, the family continues to face hardships they've never faced before. Three of Cindy’s five children are school age, but the family lives in an area without bus transportation, meaning Cindy has to take her kids to school.

Driving her children to and from school would normally be no big deal. But with gas prices spiking and the family's current financial situation, Cincy is short on funds to buy Christmas presents. This prompted Cindy to reach out to the Empty Stocking Fund for help.
