several places.  Check with the local Salvation Army as well as Health and Welfare.  Also I know the Catholic Church can help sometimes as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  If you have your own religion also check with your Minister to see if he/she can help you out.

Yes there is..It's called wellfare help..sounds awful i know..but this is about supporting your 3 kids till things get better in your life..and it will..it's just going to take some time...trust me the wellfare office understands the struggles of single parents and by u going down there to apply for the things that u are having trouble to make ends with...they will help u...so long as u are 100 percent honest with them...Number one..if u don't have medical insurance to cover the kids...u will get it right away..since u are a family of 4.(not including this guy)and u make 40 thousand or less u can get it..including foodstamps..(just untill things get better).U can also apply for public housing..sure that sounds awful..but there are alot of places that are decent as hell and u wouldn't ever know that the landlord allows section 8 people.(section 8 means the landlord gets there rent period no questions ask cause the state pays him u pay him just a little maybe only 100 to 200 a month only set back is u are on a waiting list..but it goes quick in the spring time..u can also get help with heat the list is endless..all u need to show them is all the kids Social security numbers,yours as well..proof of paycheckstub from your job and copys of all your bills that u pay.like car insurance gas bill electric bill ect ect..u will be flabbergasted on all the areas that the wellfare dept can help u with...Remember this is your tax money that is helping u so why not make it work for your kids\nthere is also a place called the YWCA not YMCA(thats for men)they help with apartments furniture childcare ect ect..i know u ask for financial help here..instead of getting a check to cover your bills..all that i mention above they personaly pay your bills for u..if u ever want to talk more to me please feel free to contact me through my name...Good luck sweety u can do it..and get rid of the abusive so called boyfriend u don't need this right now..u and your kids come first and nothing else..PERIOD

Another idea is that you could go to a local orphanage and give presents. God Bless you all,♥

Seek out a church and speak witht eh priest or preacher.\n\nAsk that the church help you and babies get to another town or county.\n\nIF these other law inforcements aren't helping you, you should contact Dateline NBC. 20/20 ABC  any big news show  and have the whole damned city and county  responsible for your not getting the help rightly due you and children.

There are plenty of volunteer organizations that ramp up their efforts around Christmas.  Helping out with one of the soup kitchens in the area, I've heard, is a rewarding experience.\n\nAnd I hope that whoever gave you a thumbs down did so by mistake.  Non-religious people tend to be very charitable.  You're in good company.\n\nGood luck to you.

There are many people in need all around and it's not all that difficult to find them. Open your eyes and be sensitive to what people are doing and saying.\nI have found people in all the places you mentioned. I usually give to the Salvation Army - clothes, furniture, money but a couple of times I gave all kinds of stuff including a stroller and a Christmas Tree to the residents at the public housing project I worked at. I have given at school to help a sick child pay for treatment. There are always coat drives and food baskets as well as Angel Tree (through church) for the children of inmates at Christmas.\nI've given directly to homeless people in the form of a hot meal or blanket.\nThere's so much that any of us can do.

Contact the local chapter of the Red Cross or St Vincent De Paul Society or the Salvation Army, ASAP.  Most of these organizations can assist you in finding emergency housing based on your situation.  Good Luck and God Bless!

I agree that the Shriners is a great place to try.  However, if you can't get help from them. Try this. If you belong to any religious groups, or other orgazations, see if they have funding for emergencies.  \n\nDo you have close relatives that maybe can help somewhat?  Do you have any thing that can be used to secure a loan? Like a house, or any real property?  Do you have an insurance policy that can be cashed in early?  \n\nDo you vote on a regular basis?  If you do, you might try contacting your local, state, or even federal representatives.  They may be able to steer you toward organizations that can help.  \n\nEverybody belongs to an ethic group. There are organizations that target their specific group for assistance.  There IS help out their somewhere.  The hard part will be doing the legwork for the research to find where it is.  First, use the internet, after you have narrowed the list, use the phone.  \n\nYou might try (a long shot probably) to locate any organizations that help children with your child's afflication.

Call the Toy's For Tots Org.  They may be able to help you find a location where you can pick out clothing and toys for free for your children for Christmas.

If you don't have any friends or family nearby then you can go to the local rescue mission, churches, homeless shelter etc. that will be serving Christmas dinner. Volunteer work is a wonderful thing because you are give yourself without expecting anything in return

Many churches help out, and also try the Salvation Army they have a angel tree program you can sign the kids up for gifts and for food for your family, also ask about programs at your child's school some have Christmas gift giving programs, also as at the WIC office they also have a Christmas gift and food program, and at most hospitals each unit buys for a family, food and gifts. There is a lot of help but it goes rather quickly so apply now. God Bless You and your family and have A Very Merry Christmas. You are all in our prayers.

Since I don't know your situation firsthand, I can only offer up some avenues to explore.\n\nHave you exhausted all of your possible federal and public assistance possibilities?  You may be eligible for unemployment benefits, social security, medicaid, medicare, food stamps or childcare programs.  Consult a local social services center for more information on programs and how to qualify.  If you can at least get food stamps, the rest of your income can go towards other needs.\n\nIf you're not eligible for federal or state aid, then you might want to look for private sources of emergency funding, like churches or a local crisis center.  Many larger churches have special programs for emergency food and money. It should only take a phone call to the main number to get information.  Church affiliation is usually not a requirement for consideration.  They may also have a food pantry and facilities for childcare.\n\nIt's not easy to ask other people for help, especially if you've prided yourself on your independence for years.  Cancer is a slow moving disease and things tend to accumulate over the years.  The loss of your grandchildren is a burden shared by your entire family, so allow them to help out whenever they can.\n\nThe reality is that more money is the only real solution to financial troubles.  Where that extra money will come from may seem like an insolvable puzzle right now, but you might find something you can do to raise it yourself.  Some people have made good extra money by selling items on Ebay, for instance.  There are websites with leads on legitimate stay-at-home jobs you can do in your spare time.  Some people create crafts and sell them at weekend flea markets or arts&crafts shows.  You could pick up extra work as a substitute teacher or babysitter or delivering newspapers.  Look at your circumstances as a way to pull yourself up and rejoin life after your recent tragedies.\n\nGood luck and God bless you and yours.

Find a local mission and volunteer to help there.  You can work in the kitchens, feeding the poor, or work in their administrative departments and address labels, or put together flatware for their holiday feasts...  \n\nYou can do a lot!  Good luck, and God bless your generous heart!

Ask at the jail if there is a group that assists the inmates families in need. \nCheck for "Toys for Tots" in  your area. Call Children's Services and ask for a social worker--they often put articles in the newspapers about different needy families and what they would like or need for their children at Holiday times.  If you belong to a church, or even if not, contact the pastor and ask him for help.\n  \nVisit a local thrift store--you can find some pretty decent things there for little $$. \n \nTalk to your 13 year old--he is more aware of what is going on that you may  credit him for.  Maybe he can help friends or neighbors shovel snow or sweep the walk  (depending on climate--I don't know where you live); carry in groceries, walk the dog, etc for $.  I bet he would feel so proud that you asked him for help!! \nAsk your neighbors or friends for the trimmings they cut off their Christmas trees--you can tie them together and make your own tree; and decorate with paper chains and popcorn.  \n\nI hope this helps!! And God bless you and your family!

this is wonderful of you but there are many agencies a person can contact locally for assistance such as Marine Corps League, Salvation Army, Churches, Welfare Agencies, local radio stations, etc. so you might want to consider doing something for the local people. thanks and a " tip of my hat to you.
