Hi, My name is Laura Hill. My daughter is a single mom who has 2 children ages, 3yrs. and almost 1yr. Jennie (my daughter) is trying to go to school to better herself, but the Welfare dept. will not give her money for child care because They want her to have a job or go to school for 32 hrs. a week, her schooling is only 24 hrs. a week. Her brother had been helping her with rent. But he has recently lost his job. Between her rent coming due and her bills she doesn't have any money for Christmas presents.

My 3 yr old grandaughter Alexia was born with Turner Syndrome. So my daughter has that to contend with as well. Jayla will be 1 yr old on December 14th. At this point she will not be getting any presents for her birthday from her mama. I am asking for help because I am unable to provide enough. I give them all I can, as well as babysitting every week for at least 2 nights, while Jennie goes to school. Next week I go in for Carpal Tunnel surgery and will not be able to help my daughter with childcare for at least 4 wks. I am asking for help which I do not do very often...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
