We have been married for more about 6 years.  We had a little man that was born 11.5.02 and came way to early (11 weeks) he was in the hospital for almost 60 days.  We had to drive 1 hour from home everyday to be with him.  We only had one car at the time so it made life rough for those months.  Little guy came home and was on O 2 and a heart monitor for almost 2 months.  We had to borrow money from a family member due to the low rank and that we needed a different car due to the bigger size family.  We have 3 boys.  I have 2 from a previous marriage.  My husband is awesome taking  them on as his own.  He is planning on adopting them as soon as we get on our feet.  My husband has been to Iraq twice.  We are waiting for word on the next tour.  Before moving to Fort Hood we though we were on our feet we had all our bills paid off.  Then The engine blew in our family car.  That was 5000.00 right there due to the family care was a full size van.  So we borrow the money once again.  We moved to Texas and in the Ark.  The transmission was going out and the rear end dropped out.  So When we made it to Texas we traded it off cause we did not have the monies to fix it.  I just hated to do it cause it was almost paid off and with the engine loan it is just crazy.  The only thing that we could get to hold our family is costing us 450.00 a month.  We live on post and just have way to many bills. It leaves us with 300.00 every two weeks to get food and gas.  With the gas prices we are not fairing very well, and feeding 3 growing boys.  I know there are a lot of other family's in need here.  With my husbands Rank he is too scared to request assistance though post due to things he has seen happen to other people.  We have 3 boys and I would love for them to have a Merry Christmas.  But I don't even have enough money to go buy them a few gifts.  Pleas I hope there is an Angel out there meant for us.  I really would like this Christmas to be a great one, We all know here that next year daddy wont be home.  I thank you for your time.
