- Why I'm choosing to give:
- the question above is, "why i'm choosing to give?"...quite frankly, it was how i was raised, how i raised my children, and how i choose to live my life...i don't have much...but there is nothing that i have that i have that i put more importance on than another person....our door is always open..and there is always room at our table...and we have had some of the greatest memories from visitors to our home....
- What I'd most like to receive:
- i just hope to be able to have enough to pay our bills....my husband may lose his job in january and i am disabled with a brain injury...we have 3 kids...and two are still in college....they don't ask for gifts for christmas...they just hope there will be money for books for school...so do i....my third has applied for a teaching job for teach for america...
