I found this posting on Craigslist this evening, I thought it was touching:
" I am a single mom of a little girl, I am on disability income assistance. This is difficult, asking for help at this time of year. I just don't have enough money to make a Christmas for my daughter. We don't have any family. I would be so grateful of anything anyone can offer as help towards making Christmas special for my baby, I want her Christmas to be happy. I don't want any gifts or anything for myself. Please help. Merry Christmas "
