Household Needs:

She could use some kitchen towels and bath towels.

Other information:

This is a multiple generation household with two parents, 2 children; ages 17, and 10; and a

grandmother. The Father was laid off for two months and just as he was about to go back to

work he broke his wrist and must wait for that to heal. The Mother works 20 hours a week in

the home health care field. Mother explained that they were used to the Father’s good

income and now it is difficult to make ends meet. Any Christmas Joy you could share with this

family would be a great help to their strained budget and a delight to their spirits.

 Groceries or a gift certificate for groceries would help this family.

 A gift certificate from GVEA would also be a big hep.

 A gift certificate for fuel oil would be a great financial help. (Above ground tank)

 Any clothing gift would be a practical and helpful gift.

She is a senior and Mother described her as outgoing. She works part-time at a fast-food

restaurant on weekends. Mom suggested a clothing gift certificate from Torrid’s (in the Bentley

Mall) as a good gift suggestion. She needs socks. She likes hair ties and scrunchies but does

not like them to have metal in them. Mother was reluctant to tell me, but I found out that a

dream gift for Miranda would be a digital camera.

She wears size 10 in girl’s clothing and could use some socks.

She is very active and involved in school functions. Mother called her a “social butterfly.” She

would like a set of walkie-talkies. The board game Connect 4 would be another good gift

suggestion. She enjoys playing with Play-Doh. She likes costume jewelry. Books at the 4th

grade reading level would be great for her because she is struggling with reading.

She wears a size 2x-3x and likes casual around the house type clothing. She is diabetic and she

likes to watch cooking shows. A diabetic cookbook would be a good gift suggestion. She uses

a roll-on deodorant; AVON Feeling Fresh, it only cost about a dollar but she has not found a

source (agent) to purchase this favorite deodorant. Mom said she has “hundreds” of cassettes

but does not have a cassette player. Mom said there is one at Fred Myers that plays cassettes

and CDs ($39.) that would be a perfect gift for Linda.

He could use some socks. His favorite brand of socks is Smart Wool – Mountaineer. He finds

these at Prospectors. He has a Gillette Mach 3 razor and could really use some replacement

blades for it. He loves Reese’s candy bars. A gift certificate from Lowes or Home Depo would

be another gift alternative.

She needs a winter jacket, size XL – 2XL. I could not get any other gift suggestions from this

Mother. She told me she does most of her shopping at Value Village and Wal-Mart. She used

to make Christmas wreaths at this time of year to sell for extra money but this year she did not

have enough money to purchase supplies. Perhaps a gift certificate from a craft store would be

an alternative gift suggestion for her.

This family consists of a single mom with two daughter’s ages 18 and 7. They are going

through a season of hardship due to loss of income and medical bills from the Mother’s spinal

surgery. Love INC is familiar with their situation because we provide rides so that the Mother

can continue her physical therapy. Any Christmas Joy you could share with this family would

be a blessing.

She is a Tweedy Bird fan. Mother said you could get her anything with Tweedy bird on it and

she would love it. Mother said Alnise buys her own clothes and she didn’t know her sizes – so

she suggested a gift certificate from a “hip” store in the Bentley Mall. A dream gift for this

young lady would be a digital camera.

There are a lot of gift options to choose from for this little gal. She would love a bicycle,

especially if it was pink or baby blue. A DVD player is another great gift option. She would

enjoy fantasy play with the Zhu-Zhu pets. She would especially love to have the Prince and

Princess Zhu-Zhu’s. Another toy that she would enjoy is the La La-Loopsy Hair Doll. They

have a Wii game set. Nyla would love a new dance game called; Michael Jackson Experience,

Dance II (or Dance III).

She has been losing weigh since her surgery, so a gift certificate for clothing would be a good

gift option. She has been trying to develop healthy eating habits. A couple of gift options that

would help her would be a juicer or blender and /or a slice-a-matic or similar machine for

slicing vegetables.

An electric can opener would be a helpful practical gift.

In this family the parents are retired and the children are supporting the household. The

Father receives some social-security but it is not enough to live on. The Daughter is 22 and she

works as many hours as she can get as a housekeeper. The son is 18 and he works as a

carpenter. (As of 11/5) He is still working but they are worried he will be laid off soon. They

are getting by but occasionally they need help. Any Christmas Joy you could share with them

would be a blessing.

 Groceries or a gift certificate for groceries would help this family.

 A gift certificate from GVEA would also be a big help.

 Any clothing gift would be a practical and helpful gift.

She wears a size large. She could use a winter hat, scarf, and gloves. She suggested cranberry

color. She could use some socks (size 7 shoes). A gift certificate for private clothing would be

a great gift option. She enjoys reading. A gift certificate for a CD would be another gift

alternative.

needs work gloves, size large.

She needs a winter coat with a hood, size XL. Black or purple were suggested colors. A scarf

and winter hat would also help. She needs boots, size 7 ½. A long sleeve pullover type shirt

(size XL) would be another good gift option. She likes colorful or flower designed shirts.

He could use some winter socks, he wears a size 13 ½ shoes. He could also use some sweat

pants size large. A winter work shirt would be great. Most of all he needs winter work gloves

for snow shoveling (XL). A new snow shovel would be the perfect gift because Paul earns

extra money by shoveling snow. In the morning he likes to listen to the radio, so a new radio

that they could set on the kitchen table would be another great gift option. He likes to read

western novels. A new air freshener for the car would be another helpful gift.

When I asked if they had a tree and decorations, I found that they have and artificial Christmas

tree. However, I could tell Sophia was tickled by the possibility of new decorations.
