B-Day, Christmas help needed URGENT-Can you adopt my for Holiday?

My are 10, 8 and 6 and my 14 year old SD lives with us also. I am new to the group. I am 33 years old and have been married for 7 years and with my husband for almost 12 years. It seems like 50 though! LOL!!
Things are pretty rough for us right now. I have ALOT of health problems and had a heart attack a month ago and had to have a stint put in. I have MAJOR health problems. My husband is getting ready for back surgery. We both have Attorneys and are fighting for SSI. Right now we are living on my sons SSI which is 623.00 a month and borrowed money. So things are tight here but I need to start getting winter clothes and Christmas for my . Plus my daughters birthday is October 28th. They also have no Halloween costumes.

Anyone that would be willing to help I would be so very, very thankful from the bottom of my heart. They are used to used toys and clothes as I usually shop all year at yard sales for them and give the stuff to them at Christmas. As long as it is in nice shape they dont care They are not picky at all thank goodness If someone wants to adopt them or can help PLEASE, PLEASE let me know. I am worrying myself sick about this We havent even paid our rent, lights or water yet.

Thank you so very, very, very much in advance. Also I know you are trying to help but please dont suggest Toys For Tots, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Red Cross or the Angel Tree. They DO NOT service our County. I have tried and tried.

 Please go to your church or any of the local churches. They usually adopt familes or can place your names on a "Giving Tree" where parish families can purchase gifts for your family.

Also your municipal building also has a health department that usually has a food pantry (church too!) and can help you with food or gift certificates to a local food store. You can place your families name with them and they can give you toys and gifts for the holiday.

Also, there are some food banks that help pay your utility bills once a year with a shut off notice.

Please look into this. There are angels in your local area that are available to help.

I have been there and there is help out there. I will ask my other friends in Kentucy to see if they know your area and maybe places to point you in the right direction.

Best of luck. Keep praying, God will send you in the right direction. Take time to hear HIM. I know you are stressed but when I was at rock bottom, I heard HIM. You can too. Don't stop praying.
