How can I get Help For Christmas for a family with 8 boys?
My step daughter has 8 boys, and doesn’t have the funds for christmas. She doesn’t even have a tree to put up. All of the kids are so disappointed that they won’t have a christmas. My step daughter berly gets the bills paid, and is trying very hard to make sure the kids will have a christmas. The boys range from age 14 to newborn.

make your own decorations – get the kids to do it – they’ll have a ball.
Why have eight kids if you can’t afford to bring them up?

Do you attend church you could bring this up with your congregation. If not see about a church that would help in this time of need.
Good Luck

Try to get help from someone like The Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, or a church. I know my work sponsors a family in need every year for Christmas. I think we get the family from a church.
Also, maybe she should think about getting on BC or something.

Contact the Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, Angel Tree etc….do a web search for community outreach in the city they live in.

this might sound corney.. I am sorry I do not know who you would get in touch with for help but it is times like this that I wish I would have stayed in school, received a good education and ended up with a job making more than min. wage so that I could help people in your situation. I hope someone can lead you in the right direction to get help for the Holidays. Best wishes to your family

Connect your local church. Organizations such as Lighthouse, Catholic Social Services, etc. may be able to help during this season.

Does your town have a Youth Commission, I would try contacting them or your local church for help.
