Lost my job due to restaurant closing and am in desperate need of help to give my babies a Christmas

 LOUISIANA / Posted 3 weeks ago by 729836

I just found out about the restaurant I waitress/bartend at has closed for business (today, with no notice!). It was my ONLY source of income and I don’t know what I’ll do until I can find another one. I’m on no kind of assistance, but I’ll have to go that route until I can find another job. Prayers for a job to come through ASAP would be my first request. My next would be any help at all to give my children some sort of Christmas. I’d intended on saving as much as I could for the first few weeks of December and buying what I could for my daughter and son ASAP, but now that’s out the window. I’m a single mom who started over from scratch after being a stay at home mom majority of my adult years. I have no help unfortunately. I’d work 3 jobs if I could, but where I live, you’re lucky to have a job at all(in the middle of nowhere).  
Reaching out for help is hard to do, but my kids are absolutely worth it. It tears me apart knowing this Christmas won’t be the best for them, but I’m trying! 
If anyone has it in their hearts to help, I’d be beyond grateful! 
My teenage daughter who’s 16 is into makeup, clothes, shoes(girly stuff), room decor, hello kitty, and Roblox(she’d be over the moon for a Roblox gift card!). 
my 10 year old son loves, BMX, monster trucks, huntin & fishin, nerf guns and hot wheels. He also would be ecstatic over a Roblox gift card! 

My kiddos know I’m struggling and they don’t say much when I ask what they want for Christmas, but I think I have the general idea of what they’d like. Anything at all to put under the tree is fine by me and I know they’d be just as thankful! 

God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!
