and recently found out Schizo-Affective disorder. Due to him not staying stable it has put a big damper on me finding employment. I am limited on the hours that I can work , due to having to be with him or on call for him 24/7. That has put such a strain on the money situation. I have been selling off my belongings thru the summer to keep the bills somewhat caught up. Now that winter has reached us that has put a stop to the few extra dollars that I was able to make. I do not know what I am going to do to provide a Christmas for my son, it tears at my heart that times are so rough right now that I can't even afford a gift. It would be a lot easier if my son was able to understand the true meaning of Christmas. I sit here writing and the lump in my throat gets tighter and I can feel a tear starting to form. It tears my heart thinking that he will wake up on Christmas with no present under the tree. I checked with the local organizations but due to his age with a disability or not he doesn't fall in thgeir guidelines due to age. I am just needing a hand and when I get my feet on solid ground I will pass it forward. I truly need the help and dont know where else to go.
