    Wanted to sign my daughter Lacynthia Dewhart up for the shopping spree She is a single mother of two Jordyn (6) and Jadien (3), she has lost her job and can’t not afford to purchase her kids any items for Christmas. I hate to see the babies being upset on Christmas cause they don’t have anything and the others are all smiles. She say it is okay but deep down inside I know that it hurts her cause she tries to do the best for her keeps. And being a single mom with no other help she had to move home with me (her Mother). I am helping her as much as I can, but I am on a fix income and I have to make sure that I pay the rent and bills so that we will not be homeless. But if you can help her it will be of a big help.

    I have been homeless with my 4 kids and its not my fault its completely housing, I always do my business for my kids ahead of time. I lost my car when i mooved to Dallas. I have reached out to so many people and just to get denied . I have spent all of my savings on application fees, admin fees and realtor fees just to get denied. I’m at a complete lost.We are staying with a friend and its not pleasant at all. But my children aren’t on the streets . Amen. I have to walk them to school everymorning and its 3 different schools from Oran ELementary to James MAdison High then to Billy Dade middle then back to Haskell n Barry. I dont start orientation until Dec 16th, 2019. Great job, but wont be in time for my Babies Christmas They are ages 14,13,12,11 all girls. I was trying to get them a shopping spree or some clothes for school (uniforms) or some coats or shoes. I’m used to doing everything myself I must have forgot to depend on God or I forgot him or something but I do help with donating to disaterous area due to inclement weather and homeless people I buy food for people in need. But i guess my timimg was wrong for this move to Dallas. I was just trying to become a nurse and better my childrens lives. Thank you LaTrishia 6823010880

    Good evening! I listen to you guys everyday headed to work. I am not a single mom. I am a married and I have three daughters. Dec 31st I will be my last day I will be retiring from my job. I have worked over 35 years and now my next life is to take care of husband who suffer from (MS).
    I will be on a fixed income no benefits. But I would like to give my daughters a nice gift this year. I am $200 short on my last gift and I would like to get this last gift from Best Buy a Hp laptop computer. Would you guys consider a secret Santa gift card from Best Buy. I know this is unusual but you never know if you don’t ask.

    I am a single mom with a 15 yr old son.
    I have a job, but I am living from pay check to pay check. I lost my car 5 months ago, so I have to get people from my family to take me to work and my son to school everyday. I am barely able to pay rent on time and sometimes have to ask friends and family for food. I really hope ànd pray for help.

    Hello my name is Crystal Stewart. I was wanting to enter in a chance to win the $500 single mother shopping spree. My daughter turns three on this Sunday the 19th and the Christmas is a week away. It’s been hard being a single mother her dad was barely involved in her life and last December we found out he has stage 4 cancer so he she has only seen him four times this year and right now he’s totally disabled in and out the hospital and she hasn’t seen him in over a month and I just want her to have a good birthday and Christmas. It hurts to hear her cry for him and it’s hard on me because she doesn’t understand. I’m a waitress so my income isn’t all there. I start my Master’s in January and I want to make sure she’s blessed and happy for her birthday and Christmas. It would be a blessing for us to be able to win.

    I have heard on the show that there is a chance to win presents for a single mother in need. I do not have Alot of children so you would think that I would be able to make my daughter smile. This year however that will not be the case. I just lost my job the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, so I have been searching for another one. So I took my money from my last check to pay delinquent rent. Got on a job in Arlington through a temp agency but I live in Waco. I do what I have to do so I have been driving from Waco
    to Arlington for work. This has taken pretty much most of my money but I felt this was my only option because no one hired me immediately like I needed. This whole life ordeal has me goin down and has placed me In a state of depression. I remain focused on getting a job therefore CHRISTMAS DOSEN’T seem plausible. I only have one child. She will be 13 on December the 29th so fear has set in and I just cannot stop crying. I do pray for better days. I know they are close but I don’t see it. I’m passionately requesting the $500 shopping spree because I TRULY NEED IT, well want it. I don’t have a Christmas tree or any decor but I’ll just stack the presents and that will do just fine. I don’t want much for Christmas but to give my baby A Christmas well I just have a wish as a mother. I do this alone. She is considered to be disabled. So sweet, she cuts me so deep by saying better yet she keeps telling me that she dosen’t really care about Christmas or her birthday mama it’s ok, makes me cry even more SHE IS SO SPECIAL🤗🤗 I’m up all night doing online applications I don’t usually win anything but I’m crossing my fingers with this one giving it a shot. I got a call back from Coca-Cola locally but I won’t get on and have a check before the 25th.I pray that I am one of the 40 mother’s🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾DONT SKIP ME PLEASE PICK ME THIS WOULD TRULY BE A BLESSING FOR US TO WIN‼️

    Good morning,
    If you’re still doing the shopping spree for single parents please pick me. I am a single mother of 5 and this year has been especially hard for me. We are in the verge of being evicted from our apartment because I still owe $800 in rent and currently not working and winning this would mean the world to me and my kids. I just want to make sure they still have a good Christmas even though we are going through a hard time I just want them to be happy especially since we haven’t had many of them this year

    Hey guys thank you so much for the opportunity my name is Kyndra Haynes, single mother of 2 boys. 10 and 2. We moved here from California a year ago and it’s just been a real struggle trying to find some stability here. Between not having childcare and trying to work without it,has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. CCMS finally approved us ,so after a year on the waiting list I’m working and my youngest is Loving school. But the job I’m working is just getting us by.. (Only paying rent and buying diapers)nothing close to what they’re used to. Minimum wage in California is $15, here it’s $7. 50 so it’s really an adjustment all 3 of us are trying to workout. My oldest son cries to me more often than I’d like about how much he misses our life back home. We were forced to leave it due to gang activity in our neighborhood there. We went from a 3 bedroom Apartment to a 1 bedroom Budget suite. I’m trying my hardest to make the best of it for my boys. But with their dad locked up and only me to pick up the pieces. I don’t have much besides the roof over their heads to give. Help is what I need. Help to make that one day something they remember from our old lives.. something I unfortunately at the moment can’t give them..even if it has to be in the Budgets.You guys at K104 would really be a Blessing to my boys if we won. It would make it a better experience than they’ve had over the last year here.Help from you guys can make Christmas so great for them that just for a moment they’d forget about all the hardship and just be happy and it’ll also help us make it through the rest of the year. I appreciate the time you guys take out to hear everyone’s story. Thank you!Happy Holidays

    Hi my name is Desarie and I’m a single mom of 3 boys. My boys are big this year my oldest being 10 and they want tablets and game systems this year something I can’t get right now. I work almost everyday a week plus I take care of my mom who is disable, so, between bills and necessary needs winning this would be a huge blessing and much needed. I try to do what I can as always but with the way prices are going up on everything is crazy. So thank you for doing this and congrats to the lucky moms who do win!

    Hi! I am a single mom to a 15 year old boy. I am currently in my last year of school and money is tight right now. Last year I had health issues (thankful to be alive) that caused me to pay out of pocket expenses and deplete my savings. I cannot afford Xmas this year (not even sure how I will afford all my bills next month). I would love to be able to get my son a few things! Any help is greatly appreciated. I feel so embarrassed having to ask for help but I don’t want my kid to go without. Thank you!

    Hi miss Deedee my name is Kailey I am 22 years old and have 2 daughters 5, and 2. I have a big story so I will tell the shorter version.

    Growing up my mother struggled with addiction and I grew up in it, at times we did not eat, we slept in tents, cars, and abandon school busses. By age 12 I unfortunately succumbed to addiction as my mother had it everywhere and I was a curious child wondering why was it so special, the addiction lasted until I was 16 and became pregnant with my first child I was sober for 2 years and relapsed. Her father was choking me and hitting me and my mom was in rehab, my brother was in prison and my sister in sober living. Eventually I escaped to a domestic violence shelter and that was the start of my new beginning. I got sober, moved into single mother housing,I got my GED, I have started college gotten a car. I only want to continue to better my life for me and my children, and show others no matter what life throws at you, you can overcome it.

    I have been sober for 4 years December 2nd and my mother is 5 years sober after over 20 years of addiction. I owe everything to God.

    I would love to be blessed for my children it would help me afford things they truly need and some extra.

    I’m a mother of two, and I’ve always been able to make things work but this year it has ready been hard. I lost my job earlier this year, now I’m blessed to be able to hit a clock now, my income has been cut in half and living pay check to pay check, I tell you it has been hard. I’ve had to let my phone go to free up the extra money. I would normally have help with my kids for the holidays with my daughter dad but he passed back in September. This shopping spree will but a smile on my babies face that’s been missing.
    If they don’t win thank you for the chance.

    Good morning I am a single mother of four children two boys and two girls. I am a nursing student. I’ve been reaching out for help from my school to the different churches in my area but I have not had any luck. I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant prn to keep up with our monthly expenses but ends have not been really meeting due to how tough school has been for me. Last year my kids had one of the best Christmas’s ever. I am not prepared to see the disappointment on their faces this Christmas because I’m just not able. I have been explaining to them that mommy is in school to make a better life for us and to make more money. I had to explain to my oldest daughter that I can’t afford all of the things I could afford in the past now that I’m in school. I keep reassuring them that as soon as I’m done with school I can afford to do more things with and for them. I am in the process of trying to get child support from their dad, but I haven’t had any luck so far we separated three years ago, because he nearly strangled me while my children were home. He does not help me at all with my children, because for some reason he’s so upset with me because I chose not to deal with his abuse anymore. My children love and miss their dad so much, and he chooses not to be in their lives because he wants to make me suffer. To say the least graduating, nursing school will be one of the best things to happen for me and I will be able to go above and beyond for my children. My Children are my everything and we are extremely blessed. Life could be worse so I try not to complain. I will be so grateful if I can get help this Christmas with my children even if I don’t, I will be grateful for the next mother, who really need help. It’s not easy taking care of children alone, especially when they have a father out here living his best life smh.

    Hi, I’m a single mother of 4. Two girls 11 & 10 and two boys 7 & 5. Me and my daughters are from Louisiana and my sons born here in Dallas. I’m currently unemployed because I’m not physically or mentally ready for work right away. I was a victim of a kidnapping, assault and attempted murder back on August 26,2022 @ Sonic in Dallas. That day changed my life in a very traumatic way. The suspect was arrested and is currently in jail. I’m very grateful to still be here. I’ve been through so much counseling and doctors appointments and emergency rooms lately to where it’s taking a toll on me. I have high blood pressure that got worse after the attack. I tried going back to work but ended up at hospital and was told I’m not ready just yet to start back working. It’s hard financially right now because I’m the only one that does for my kids , always have. Majority of the time it’s me by myself doing everything for the kids. I don’t mind they didn’t ask to be here. I can tell my kids are sadden by what took place , they tell me that they pray I would be better soon. I didn’t apply for the Christmas help from Salvation Army or other organizations; because I never thought we would need it. Years ago when I became financially stable I had decided not to sign up for Xmas help because we didn’t want to take from a family that may really need it. I don’t want to let them down this Christmas. They are awesome kids and they do very well in school and they’re very respectful. It would be a blessing to have the help in a time of need. God Will 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    I am a single mother of 4 for the past 5 years. Each year things just pile on more and more. I’m not going to sing a sob story because my story is no worse than anyone else’s. My kids would greatly appreciate gifts this year because they haven’t had a Christmas in years. They are happy to receive the socks and sweats my church give each year. They never complain and know I work hard to supply their needs.

    Hi, I’m a single mother of 2 boys ages ( 5 years old and 3 month old) after giving birth I was placed on a unpaid maternity leave which resulted in me being behind on everything as well as being forced from my home. It hurts to even know that Christmas is in 2 weeks and I can’t even buy one single toy for Christmas.
