Hello world
My name is NANA and I am the grandmother of two lovely grandkids, of whoms dad and step dad is in the military. He and my daughter were divorced Feb of this year. This came right after he returned from his second term in Irac. When he came back this time, he came back an angry and changed man. After the divorced he was tranfered and now as far as I know is stationed in germany. Ever since the divorce he has helped non with either child. He has been around my grandson who is now 15 all his life and his daughter (my grandaughter) is 11. He never sent her a birthdaycard, called her or anything, and that includes my grandson with whom I have had custody of all his life. He use to be a good dad but the war changed him.
I have drawn a disablility and raised my grandson on $694 a month believe me it is hard. I know that he is going to do nothing this year for them for Christmas and with my daughter trying to find a job for months (she has adult ADD, and is very depressed over the divorce, which she is seeking help for) they are not going to have a Christmas at all this year and that is hard for me. I have been sick myself alot this year and my money is tighter than normal. My granddaughter struggles in school and I help her and get help from the school but she is a loving, good hearted child. My grandson is now 15 an honor student, wants to go to college, never gets into to trouble, fanatic on his looks, and one of the top cadets in his ROTC class. I need the help of generous people and for the first time I AM ASKING for help for my grandkids. My granddaughter is only wanting a DSI game, a navy blue sweater for school in a size 16 (she is a short little chubby girl, but a doll.), the new faze, mix matched socks and just a few more girly things. My grandson is wanting the new X-BOX 360 Kinect, he is a outside kind of young man and he knows I raise him on a very limited income, we live with my mom who has partial seizures to take care of her and he never complains about helping her or me. This is all he has asked for, so that he can play games with his friends sometimes when they come over. Both my grandkids deserve to have what they want as does all the kids in the world. They are not selfish, both of them has asked me to pick them up two toys one for a boy and one for a girl, so that they can give to the TOYS FOR TOTS. Please help me in giving the a nice Christmas. I have never asked for help but I now need it, that is hard for a parent or grandparent to say but I am asking for it, your help!
Thanks to all of you that took the time to read this and even if you cant help, you still took the time to read this, I appreciate that most of all. My grandkids know the TRUE meaning of Christmas we have taught them this, but it does not keep them from wanting a present. I hope I hear from you but even if I dont and if you cant help beleive me I understand. I want to make a wish of my own, I wish that all your dreams come true, and your troubles stay small and please all of you have a very nice and loving Christmas, and all my blessings go to you to have a very sucessful and full year. Thank you once again and Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! thank you
