2014 Holiday Season: A Proud Family in Need - Donate to Yolande, Help her take care of her Kids!

Please read this heartbreaking story from Yolande about the financial hardship of her family. Please reach out and donate to her.

Here is her Paypal email: getslimwithyolande@gmail.com. You can send donations to her through this email.

"We are a family of four trying to pay rent and have enough food to eat.

My husband has been out of work for six months and I lost my job due to layoffs and was out of work for two months. During this time, we were both looking for work I got hired a couple of months ago and he's still looking. He has applied to close to 150 positions and gotten approximately 10 interviews in person, by phone or skype, but with no success.

My income alone is not enough to support us. Since summer, we have slowly been going into debt, using my line of credit and credit card to supplement my income. We're now at the point where our credit has run out and we are short of rent, money for groceries, gas money for me to get to work and any other incidentals that my kids may require. We're behind on bills as well. We've had to sell some of our belongings (some dear to us) to survive.

He has taken a paper route to supplement our income while he still applies for jobs in his field and goes to interviews. We keep thinking "this one will be the one" and then it falls through. We still feel like it will happen soon, but until then, we need help.

I have a very hard time asking for help, but I'm starting to feel desperate. We are doing everything we can right now just hanging in here. I believe in paying it forward and will be back here to be a giver once we're back on our feet.

Please help.

Thanks,

Yolande"

Help Me Travel to Alberta, Canada, To Take Care of Sick Nephew and Help Sister

Help this person fundraise to be able to travel to Alberta, Canada.

Here's the story:

"My nephew was diagnosed with a type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) late in 2012, the type of NHL that he has is aggressive and requires immediate treatment. During treatment my sister needs to spend a lot of time with him, as she is a single parent this immediately puts great emotional and financial strain on her.

I need any help I can to raise the funds to get to Alberta Canada, to help her financially, with his care and looking after the house while he is in treatment or still sick. And to be there to support her in this time. If I can get there I will have a job, but just as importantly I will be able to be there for my nephew and his mum. I have savings of $2000 dollars, from working and selling what I can; I still need to raise another $3000 (because of visa requirements I have to pay for return flights, visa charges, and travel health insurance, and some incidentals) and am still fundraising what i can.

If I can get 120 donations of $25 I will have the funds I need, but anything would be so greatly appreciated.

If anything, please give me some leads on where I could find sponsorship.

Thank you for reading,

I hope there is something you can do for us."
