I had already been working at the family business for 4 years and had developed some skills with office management, accounting, sales, and customer relations but this wasn’t my dream.

Eventually they did a short sale to get out from under the mortgage, moved to the mid-West to take advantage of nearness of family and lower living costs and she took jobs as waitresses. We want a splurge now and again, a night out, a new dress, a nice meal and etc. Even today, many are still unemployed or underemployed.

The local Salvation Army was looking for sponsors for their annual Adopt-a-Family Christmas program. Local families in need of assistance apply in the early fall to participate in the program. The sponsors are required to provide all of the ingredients for a holiday meal (turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, vegetables, desserts, etc.)

There are so many people suffering from hunger; I wish I could help every single person who doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from. I am also very proud of our forthemommas.com readers who donate so generously from their stockpiles to their local food banks, individual families and other charities. How easy is that?
