Today we are asking you to make a choice: sit idle and wait for the government to fix all the problems that plague the poor, or pitch in and lend a helping hand to build better stronger communities. The choice is yours; we hope you will decide to help encourage these families during this season of giving and for days to come. Send all donations to CWAH, 3963 West Belle Pl., St. Louis, MO 63108 or call 314-289-7523.
Case 9 – Ms. N. is a mother raising three boys, ages 16, 14 and 6, as she struggles with MS. She aspires to live past her condition, as she has already pursued some college-level training and desires to provide for her children by giving them a safe, nurturing environment to grow. She just recently moved into Section 8 housing and is in need of twin beds mattresses and box springs, sofa, table, chairs, clothing, shoes, coats, bus tickets and educational toys. The oldest child is an avid reader.
Case 10 – Ms. O. is a mother of three, ages 6, 4 and 3. In 2009 she went to live with her ailing mother to help care for her after her father passed away. At that time she gave birth to a son who was born with multiple health problems and had to stop working to care for him. He is unable to walk without a leg brace, unable to speak and subsists on a feeding tube. She has a BA in marketing and an MBA. Due to her son’s condition, she decided to go to nursing school and is working toward completing this goal. Depression is even harder during this time of year, especially when caring for your children and an ill parent. Let’s lift this family up with utility assistance, clothing, educational games, books and gift cards.

Case 13 – Ms. R. is an unemployed single parent with one child, age 2. She lives with a friend of her deceased mother.
