Hello;
My name is SPC Brian Van Buren and I am stationed
at Fort Campbell, KY. I am getting ready for my
first deployment and I am afraid my wife and
daughters will not have the christmas they deserve.
This is my first enlistment, we have 4 daughters
(ages 10,7, 1 1/2 and a 3 month old newborn) and I
am worried about all the bills. Christmas this year
will be hard becasue I will not be there and I am
afraid it will be even harder because of all our
bills. Even though I will not be there I still want
to give my wife and kids a decent christmas. My 7
year old had surgery last month so trying to afford
gifts is going to be tough. My daughters still
deeply believe in Santa Clause and they are worried
Santa will forget them this year on top the fact
that there father is deploying. They could use some
new clothes and when they made out there letters to
santa, they each picked a special gift Sara asked
for a WII, Emily asked for a Guitar so she could
sing to us when we come home on our safe return,
Megan asked for a Seaseme Street Kitchen Set, and
our newborn who is in 3-6 months clothes really
needs clothes.
My wife says she wants nothing because she says
christmas is for the kids but she has been asking
me for a laptop since we found out I was deploying
so we can chat and see eachother on webcam. I am
sorry to say that because of our financial troubles
I am not able to afford a laptop for her. If there
Is anyone who can help us, it would be greatly
appreciated.

They are at the age where they need more clothes than
anything else. For their 1 special gift, My 18 year old
daughter would like a Digital Camera, my 17 and 13 year
old daughters would like a bike, my 12 and 7 year old
daughters would like a Nitendo DS, and my 12 year old
son would like a PSP. For my wifes 1 special gift, I
have been trying to save for a Dell Laptop for her but
have been able to save very little. Any assistance we

I am due to deploy in the summer next year. Well this will
the first Christmas that I have spent with my kids since 2005.
In 2006 I deployed to Iraq and had to do 15 months. When
we redeployed 3 days before Christmas and I couldn't get a
flight out to see them. Now with deployment coming up this
will be Christmas that spend with them before I leave. I would
like to make this a special one for them but funds are tight. My
kids understand our circumstances and they are very well behaved
children. My oldest is a sophomore in high school and a honor
student, by the time I get back from deployment he will be a
senior. My other 2 do very well in school. So if possible could
you help make this a special Christmas?

CHRISTMAS NEEDS
My name is Nicole Perryman. My husband is in the
Mississippi Army National Guard. We have 2 children-
a 5 year old boy and 2 year old girl. My mother in law
also lives with us in our home. Three months ago I lost
my job, and have been searching and applying to literally
hundreds of employers since then, been to unemployment
office, etc with no job yet. My husband's civilian job as
a mechanic is totally commission based, and business is
slow. I am desperately trying to keep things together and
make sure my children have a home and food to eat, but
am beginning to fail very quickly. I have run out of money,
and we are facing foreclosure. If we lose our home, we have
no where to go. The mortgage company is demanding
$2000.00 in order to keep our home. This is very urgent
because I only have until November 16th to pay it. That's
more than my husband makes in a month. We have applied
for food stamps to tide us over untl I get a job, and were
denied. I have tried to get the power company to work with
me to keep our lights on and they have refused. I don't
know what else to do other than to ask if anyone can just
help with the mortgage that is behind.
Thanks so much for your time, and pray this can be helped.

CHRISTMAS NEEDS
Hello, my name is Brandy and my family and I are looking
for assistance with this holiday season. We recently were
notified one month ago that ALL of our household goods
were stolen during a current PCS from Germany to Fort Bragg,
N.C. We have spent the last month going through claims and
trying to find our goods through investigation but, we have not
been successful at it. No one knows anything and it looks like
we will not see our goods again. We have taken a huge financial
pay cut and now we do not even have any of our things coming
to us, no toys for the children, no beds, no furniture, no clothes
for the children or ourselves, no pictures, everything has been
stolen from us. We barely have enough money left over out of
each paycheck to go towards buying things for the house, much
less x-mas for our two boys, Caleb, 7 and Landon, 4. I am
praying that someone will have mercy for our family during
this horrible time as we still mourn the loss of all of our
sentimental values and family memories and household goods
that were stolen from us. I do not know where else to turn, I just
want the my boys to be happy for the holiday season. My oldest
son loves anything to do with dinosaurs and my youngest loves
anything to do with cars, or with the disney "Cars" characters. I
would really appreciate any assistance this season. God Bless
each and every one of you. Thank you.

Hi, My name is Candice Pell, and I am writing to ask
for help. My husband got home from Iraq on June 16,
08, off of his 2nd deployment. We went to Georgia to
see family in July while on his block leave. On July
8, his dad died suddenly and unknown of reasons. He
was sick, but nothing sick enough to do this. So we
were there, my husbands bday was july 9 and we got
to spend the day planning the funeral. :(
Well we came home and then I got a call that I had a
family emergency,so I got in the car and drove from
FT Lewis WA to GA. in 2 days. none stop.That took a
huge fininacial toll on us. We have 2 kids a boy who
is 6 and a girl who is 4. The boy is in 1st grade and
my daughter stays home with me during the day than I
work at night. She also does not talk, due to a medical
condition.
We have been making ends meet, but want my husbands
brother and family to come to WA this christmas. We would
love any help that anyone can give.Gas Cards would be GREAT
or even like the pre paid Visa Cards so I can send it to t
them, so they can come up. My husband and his dad were really
close, and this has really hurt him. So I figured if we could
get some family here, it might cheer him up a little bit.
Maybe someone can help us.

My name is Crystal. I live in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Currently my husband is deployed to Afghan. He will not
be home until June of 2009. He has been really depressed
lately missing the kids birthdays and now with the holidays
coming, as I am sure all the soldiers are. I worry about
him and lately he worries a lot about us. I hate to worry
him even more with our setback and the holidays. We have
been doing well since he left in March. I however have come
upon some car repairs and several trips to Georgia for family.
I have gotten behind on bills since I am asking to see if
anyone can help me pay my car insurance that was due on the
15th of $117.00 and some gifts cards or something for groceries.
I fear that just when I might get caught up I will not be able
to pay Nov.15th. car insurance. I am trying to get all caught
up before Christmas approches so I can buy a few gifts for my
son, Brandon who is 14 and daughter, Lexus who is 6. I would
not mind being behind some if it were not for the holidays. I
was hoping to get home for Thanksgiving, but first thing is my
car insurance and some groceries. If anyone can help our family
out it will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I am so grateful for Mr. Mealey

of you will never be forgotten. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

Mountain Home AFB, Idaho.
On September 11th our son was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer),
he's 13 years old. We are now in the process of starting chemotherapy, we are
having to drive 104 miles round trip to the hospital (Boise, Idaho)where he is
receiving his care. We are spending 100.00 dollars a week to do so. We are
asking if there is any way someone could help out with a donation for a gas card.
We know that there are so many others out there that are hurting also. His
treatment is something that he has to have, in order to beat this cancer. The first
round of treatment will be about 10 weeks, then we will go for surgery to remove
it, then another 6 months of driving back and forth to the hospital to finish out
Chemotherapy. With the winter fast approaching and gas prices high, we know
that eventually we will be dipping into our money for other bills to pay for gas. I
don't know if your site is even the right place to be asking for assistance, so if
not and you could direct me to a site that is, we would appreciate it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,My husband is currently in Iraq on his 3rd deployment.
We have a large family and struggle to make ends meet each
pay period.
After paying the bills and buying food there is nothing left
for extras. It is difficult to find the words but my children
have been through so much, It is hard for them to know that
their Dad will not be home for important events, or to celebrate
holidays, etc.. I know how much they worry about their Father
and I wish I could take away all of the fears and sadness.
The holidays will be difficult in many ways and I would be
so grateful for any help that anyone could give our family.

Hello, My name in Beckie, I am the wife of a deployed
soldier and a mother of two vibrant boys. Shortly
before my husband deployed in June he and I decided
that as soon as we were able me and our kids would move.
So in August we did just that,rent increased and we are
making payments on the numerous deposits and in august
we also recieved the largest electric bill i have ever
seen. Apparently we had set up some sort of an average
billing plan that made it possible for you to pay only
a percentage of your bill to help you save money monthly,
except now that bill is over 1,000! We are making payments
but every month we only get more and more behind because
we are unable to put even a dent in the amount we owe and
still generating new bills.If I choose to end the billing
plan now i become responsible for the whole amount. And
as the story goes once you get behind you re budget and
pay less to one agency to make more to another one and
now I have only succeeded in getting us more in debt.
My oldest son has his 8th birthday coming up in October,
thanksgiving in November and then Christmas. A loan is
out of the question, we may get enough to pay some of it
off but then we have the burden of yet another bill and
would still owe the electricity company .Please, any help
will relieve some of this pressure from my family, and
myself. Thank you and god bless you all.

Hello my name is Amy, I am a dedicated Army wife and mother of
four.Today (23 September 2008) our water has been shut off and
with our nearest payday to have it turned back on being the 1st
we aren't sure how to get any help. we have only one vehicle so
trying to get to different agencies during the day is not an
easy task as my husband needs it to go to work, and most only
help deployed families. Anyway This is one of those moments that
I wish my husband were deployed because then we would have the
extra money (deployment pay and non taxable) and most likely
wouldnt be in this situation. We are still trying to cut back
on electric and water as When we moved into this house (previously
living on post) the water and electric were quite a shocker (both
over one hundred a month).
I have even cut back on groceries to try to make ends meet but
nothing we have done has made enough of a difference to let us
get caught up.When we moved Picerne held our BAH for 2 months so
we were paying rent on both places and have been struggling ever
since. I know in time we will eventually get our heads above water
again but for now I need to swallow my pride and ask for help. We
need water, bottled water non potable water (for sponge baths and
hand washing) even as I type this my husband is spending the last
of his gas money to get us something we can drink. if you are not
terribly far (we are going to be limited on gas) we would appreciate
any help offered!. Thank you

CHRISTMAS HELP NEEDED
Hello,
My husband and I are in need of some help.
He is currently an E2 in the Marine Corps.
Though he is not currently deployed, his
unit is scheduled for deployment within the
next month. This is the one and only time I
can say we have or ever will wish for him to
deploy, and he is not. He will be staying
back away from his unit, and missing out on
the extra money that he would make while
deployed. I am disabled and awaiting a
disability claim. Until then we are scraping
by on what we can. We often worry about how
to pay the bills, and put food on the table.
But I can live with that, I cant live with
seeing our childrens faces this year when we
dont have a christmas tree or any christmas
presents. We have never had a lot for christmas,
but I am newly disabled and transitioning from
a two income home to a single income home has
hit us hard. We have three children ages 6, 2
and 3 months. The two older children have birthdays
coming up in december as well. We are in need of
some help for christmas/ birthday and baby items.
We would love to have some things for our baby
like a walker, or a bouncer, a car seat, baby
clothes things that we cant get. If there is a
family, or someone who would like to help it would
mean the world to us. For once I would like to have
tears of joy rather than frustration and stress.

Our Daughter and I live in Laguna Hills CA,

duty on base, in San Diego, until the VA
decides his fate 3.5 months from now. We
don't have reliable transportation and I'm
just starting school, and must help support
our family. We don't have enough for food,
electric, dental co-payments, or train tickets.
Now that my husband is back from his 2nd
deployment, and on medical holding, we can't
even see him. I had to move to Laguna to be
near family, because of my many disabilities,
and an enlarged aorta.
I need help buying 3 sets of 10 ride passes
on Amtrak. These are $131 per ten pack. This
will help Richard to come home every weekend
to see his family for the next 3.5 months. I
also need help with our electric bill this
month which is $400, but I just need $200 of
that, the dental co-payments, and food money.
If someone could also help me with my school
costs, the amount I still need is $1,750 per
year. I know I'm asking alot, but I'm trying
very hard to better our situation, in spite
of the adversity all around. Thank you for

I am writing for assistance for my family. My husband
is an Spc. in the Army Reserves. My husband has done
one tour in Iraq and is looking at doing another in 2009.
We have a two year old son and another child due
February of 2009.
My husband works as an HVAC Tech. in his civilian job
but with the current economic crisis has only been working
3 hours a week some weeks and rarely makes full-time
status. I work a steady full-time job but it doesn't pay as
well as we would like.
My husband had to quit his job at the end of August in
order to interview for more steady work. Luckily, he has
found one and we feel blessed but he will not be able to
start for a few more weeks. This has caused us to become
behind on ALL of our bills including our mortgage.
We are negative in our banking account and now our
power company is making us pay a $195. deposit that
they are adding to our bill for this month (because our
power did get shut off last month but we quickly got it
turned back on). So, if we do not pay $375. by Oct.10th
we will not have power again. We do not have any
money for food, gas, car payments or anything else.
My family has never had to go on public assistance
before but I looked into it this week and it looks like
since my husband is going to be starting a new job we
will not qualify for this either. I feel like we have hit a
major road block but we do see a light at the end of the
tunnel once my husband gets back to working. We will
accept ANY help we can get for groceries, power bill,
phone bill or ANYTHING anyone can help us with. We
appreciate anything anyone who can help us! We are use
to being givers and hope that we can receive something
back this one time and become self-sufficient once again!

About our son, Spc. Kevin Hardin. Our son remains at Walter Reed
Medical Center in Washington, D.C. after being seriously injured
in Samarra, Iraq on 9/30/07. Indeed, we are very thankful are son
is alive.
My husband lost his job as a result of having to be our son's
caregiver at Walter Reed. My husband is diligently searching for
employment and we have two other young teenage boys at home.
Right now, our major need is for assistance with our rent for the
month of October. Our son is scheduled for surgery number 32 on
October 1st and we already have the airline tickets to fly back
and forth between here (West Palm Beach) and D.C. Thank goodness
for that!!!
Our rent is due on 9/27/08 and is in the amount of $1,600. I will
be happy to provide someone with a copy of our lease and the rent
check could also be made payable to the landlord and we deposit
our rent check directly into his account. Also, we could use some
help with perhaps grocery gift cards if that is a possibility --
that too would be greatly appreciated.
Again, Roger, it was great speaking to you on the phone. Thank you
for what you are doing to help other military families.
I hope to hear from you soon.

I have spoken to you previously and I come to you
again. My family had made a post months ago and
were contacted by a man who was interested in
helping us, but had to back out due to other financial
issues.
We lost alot of our belongings in a flood back in June.
We did not have enough damage to get enough money
for repairs from FEMA and we did not have flood
insurance. We lost all our winter clothing and all the
appliances in our basement. We lost our washer/dryer,
freezer, water heater and furnace. We are struggling
to pay monthly bills as well as replace the necessities
like a water heater and worse yet a furnace.
If you could add to our request that we are willing to
be patient and would greatly appreciate a couple of
electric heating blankets and/or space heaters to help
us stay warm until we can come up with another solution.
Our children need a warm place to be and the weather is
changing fast. This is our only concern right now but it
is weighing heavy on our hearts as we learn more
information on the upcoming deployment.
I have 2 children in my home including my autistic son.
I am facing another deployment and a very cold winter

I was wondering how I could request assistance. My husband
was deployed in May. Me & the kids lost our house back in
Minnesota and Had to move to NY where he is stationed.
Because of the move we are very strapped for cash. We don't
have any furniture and me kids badly need new beds. It is also
hard just to make ends meet and get groceries this month. My
daughter has dental work that needs to be done that United
Concordia will not pay. I am just not sure how I am going
to do this.

My name is Jessica Dixon and I am Michael Dixon's
wife (Sgt Dixon) He has just gone on active duty and
no longer has his other jobs and we are going to be
behind on rent and electricity this month because he
didn't get paid like he was supposed to and I am 5
months pregnant with a baby boy for which we are
extremely excited and I also am running low on food
but the doctor has put me on a special diet No breads
or potatoes, no grease, butter or fried foods, no ice
cream and lots of gatorade and rice with fresh vegetables.
our rent is 500 with gas and water paid and our electricity
is around 390 this month because I could only pay 150
last month because thats all I had. If you could help with
our food and financial despair it would be greatly
appreciated.

We have a 10 month old son and I just gave birth to a premature
(25 weeks) baby on August 20th. The baby has quite a few
problems including a grade IV brain bleed so his stay at the NICU
will be at least until the beginning of December. My husband is
active duty military and was brought back from Iraq early when
we found out that I was not going to be able to delay our babies
birth. We are living only about 20 miles from the hospital but the
drives from the NICU and home are draining our gas budget. We
had been expecting a few more months of extra pay for my husbands
deployment but since he is no longer deployed we have been sort of
blindsided with an unexpected expense. We have downsized to one
vehicle only and are doing everything we can to cut back on
non-necessities but the gas bill is adding up. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank you.

has a job but our expenses are far more than our income
(1200 to be exact). We did qualify for food stamps but as
of now we make 250$ over the cutoff. We are asking for
any type of assistance. Especially food or gas cards. We
have 2 children ages 3 1/2 and 8 months. Our credit cards

imagine that challenge on it's own is a difficult one,

Before he was deployed in April of this year, he had to

that he will be able to come home in September for 2 weeks.
Unfortunately we all don't fit in my Toyota Scion box car.

situation right now. My husband was deployed on
July 7. They are to get paid on the 15th and the
30th. Well, when he got to Gulfport for training
he was told he will not have a pay until August 1.
I do not understand how they can do that. These
soldiers have families! Brief history, my husband
just recovered from a major back surgery. He just
started getting back on his feet the last couple
months. We have drained everything we have since
he was out of work for over a year. So as soon as
he got better they mobilized him. We have no money
for anything this month. All of our bills are due.
We have rent of $700, van payment of $350, phone
of $165, gas, electric, water... everything! I am
looking for some type of help because I really have
no clue what to do or where to go. Is there anything
that I am able to get help with or any suggestions?
Please help, we have small children to, 11, 10, 4, 2,

We have some major problems right now. Our 3 1/2 year old son

his premature birth, surgeries and now all the costs and co-pays
dealing with his diagnosis with Autism. I am not a greedy person
and have tried everything that you can imagine to receive help
or reduce bills. I am getting nowhere. We are going to court in
May for a $1300 bill that will probably result in my husbands
wages being garnished. I am unable to work a lot of hours

Currently we owe over $400 to the electric company. We have a
hard time buying groceries and gasoline for our vehicles. The
children are in desperate need of summer clothing. My husband
just got home 6 months ago and started a new job with no benefits

First, I would like to say thank you for
the support. My name is CPL Steven Sheldon,
I am currently stationed in Kirkuk Iraq and
I think I need some help. Im worried sick
about my family at home. My wife and three
little girls are in good health, but my house
is falling apart around them. I got called up
and had know time to do the necessary repairs
to the house.
Unfortunitly that's not all, my air conditioner
has now failed completely.That would be know
big deal if I lived up north but I live in
phoenix and the temp is still in the upper 90s.
Also my son accidentally flooded the up stairs
last time he came down for a visit, this
resulted in an enormous hole in the ceiling
down stairs. Now im stuck here and my family
there with not enough funds to fix the repairs.
So... now im panicked and my wife is the
strong one, thank god.
I would like to ask you if there are any
programs that could help us out. I hate asking
for help but I see no other way. Please contact
me or my wife arbara ASAP for any help you can
offer.

I am writing this in hopes that there is someone out there
can help my family. Times have been real rough since
November. I wrote a request for Christmas help, but was
not able to be helped. The bills are still piling up. I am
unable to pay our car insurance and car note for this month.
This is the only vehicle that we have here at Ft. Hood.
They are not that much, but my husband is only an E3 and
we have three kids to feed and cloth. Things just get to be
too much for us. I am sorry I have to ask. I am not
concerned about myself. Just my kids. Thank you for taking
the time to read my request.

Hi. I am writing to see about getting help. I am not
sure if you povide help only if the service member
is deployed. Let me tell you a little about us. My
husband and i have been married for almost 16
years. He was in the navy when i met him. Was
stationed aboard the uss bainbridge. He did his
6 years and got out. Then in 2002 he missed being
in the service and joined the US Naval reserves.
He is a seabee with nmcb 26 out of selfridge here
in michigan. He was deployed in march 2003 to
rota spain for 4 months. Then on Sept 11th of
2006 he was deployed to kuwait for 8 months.
When he left i had to quit my job of 5 years
because i worked the midnight shift and could not
leave my boys home alone. Well my husband
returned from kuwait this last may. Although he
does have a job the hours are way down. I have not
been able to find another job due to the economy
here in michigan stinks. At least when he was
deployed there was a steady paycheck. I was greatful
for all the people willing to help while he was
deployed, but to be honest it has been tough since
his return. We are struggling to get by. And the bills
are getting behind. What we need help with the most
right now is the utility bill. If you only help those who
are deployed forgive me for taking up your time.
Thank You,
Lisa Fredericksen And EO2 Dave Fredericksen

portsmouth, virginia
my family is in need of assistance. I am a e-4 in the
united states navy. We are on our last string. Our bank
account is negative $334 as of right now which isn't
going to leave us with for food and gas for me to get
back and forth to work. We have to built up credit card
bills that are over $300 and $500. We owe another bank
$375 or so, cell phone company $430, i can't apply for
bankruptcy or i will lose the only vehicle we have, and
there are several other bills i can't think of including
medical bills. I am on the verge of a mental break down
and don't know what to do. I have a 16 month old son,
and a wife that has not been able to complete high school
so it is very hard for her to locate a job because of this
and right now i am the only one bringing money into the
house. I don't like to ask for help like this but i don't know
what else to do. i have gone to the relief programs that the
navy has to offer and it hasn't helped. Any that could help
it would be appreciated. I thank you for your time.
Respectfully asking for help

Visiting our website (www.toysfortots.org) to locate the
dropdown menu to Find a Local Campaign Office. Select their
state and scroll down the page until they find the TFT
campaign/coordinator nearest their location. Then
