I am a single mama, carrying the weight of the world while trying to give my children every ounce of love I have. This past year has been unrelenting—full of hardship, uncertainty, and challenges I never imagined facing—but through it all, my children shine with courage, joy, and resilience that humble me every single day. They are my heartbeat, my reason to keep moving forward, and the inspiration that fills even the hardest moments with hope. Eisley, 10 – Eisley is radiant, creative, and fiercely courageous. Her mind and heart overflow with imagination—she paints, sketches, and creates with a brilliance that lights up every room. She loves music, fashion, and self-expression, and she infuses everything she touches with beauty and depth. There is a quiet strength in her, a courage that steadies my little family and reminds me daily that even in difficult times, hope and light can bloom. Her laughter, her ideas, her boundless creativity are treasures that fill my days with wonder and joy. Tillie, 7 – Tillie is a spark of pure magic. She adores animals, sparkles, and the countless worlds she brings to life with her imagination. She can fill a room with laughter, stories, and characters only she could dream into being. Her energy is endless, her heart wide open, and she transforms ordinary moments into adventure. Tillie’s joy reminds me every day to see the world through eyes of pure possibility. Mister Braven, 3 – Braven is tender, brave, and endlessly kindhearted. He loves dinosaurs, cars, robots, and kinetic sand, delighting in all the small joys of boyhood—but what defines him most is his heart. He cherishes his sisters and our little family, constantly reminding me of love’s power with gentle words like, “I love you so much” and “you are so special to me.” He is a little boy full of warmth, generosity, and joy—a beacon of light in my life and theirs. All three of my children cherish the simple, cozy things—blankets, stuffed animals, and being wrapped up together in the safety of one another’s arms. Wherever we are—on the couch, in the living room, or at the park—the moments we share are my sanctuary, a space where love, laughter, and closeness protect us from the weight of the world. My ultimate dream is to give them a stable, safe home with a backyard—a place where they can run, laugh, play, and always know they belong. A place where love and security are constants, and they can grow up knowing, without question, that they are cherished and safe—a home I never fully had, but one I am determined to create for them. This Christmas, my wish is simple: to create magic, joy, and moments that fill their hearts with wonder. Any support—big or small—would mean the world. It could be: • Any gesture of kindness to bring a little magic into my children’s lives • School supplies, books, or learning materials to fuel curiosity and creativity • Small gifts, art supplies, craft kits, or musical items to encourage passions • Cozy blankets, stuffed animals, pillows, or other comforts for snuggly moments • Warm clothing, pajamas, or shoes for everyday comfort • Fun experiences like zoo visits, parks, aquariums, or playground adventures • Tickets or passes to movies, children’s museums, or local events • Outdoor toys like balls, jump ropes, or sidewalk chalk for active play • Board games, puzzles, or games to enjoy together as a family • Baking supplies or kid-friendly cooking sets for shared creativity • Journals, coloring books, or drawing pads for quiet, imaginative play • Items to create cozy reading corners: lamps, pillows, or rugs • Gift cards to grocery stores, craft stores, or family-friendly stores • Anything that spreads joy, love, or laughter in my children’s everyday lives From the depths of my heart, I am endlessly grateful for any kindness or support. Your generosity brings hope, light, and love into the lives of my three extraordinary children who deserve to feel celebrated, cherished, and safe. Thank you for helping my little family dream big this holiday season.
