Our Family Story
I am a 43-year-old single mother raising my 8-year-old son alongside our family cat.
We recently moved and are working hard to build a happy, stable life together.
I work full-time, am taking classes, as well as volunteering as much as possible to help schools and non profit organizations.
While we are deeply grateful for what we have, there isn't much left over for extras or special experiences.
We are a close-knit team and love spending time together—playing board games, watching movies, playing sports, praying, and making the best of life.
Being sponsored this Christmas would mean the world to us and help bring joy and ease to our home.

Why It Would Be Meaningful

A Special Wish: This is something the family would love, but it is not a requirement or expectation for their Santa.
Our Amazon Wish List
The family's Amazon wish list provides additional gift ideas based on their interests and needs.
You are welcome to use the list for inspiration and shop wherever you prefer.
A Friendly Reminder for Our SWFL Santas
We suggest at least three new gifts per child and one gift for Mom, but these are guidelines, not requirements.
Gift suggestions and Amazon wish lists are simply guides to help you learn about the family's interests and needs.
You are welcome to shop anywhere, choose similar or non-brand-name items, and are not expected to purchase everything listed.
Every thoughtful gift makes a difference, and your generosity is truly appreciated! □
