am a new member and my name is DeLayne Stewart. I would just like to say God Bless to all and Happy Holidays. I hope everyone is ingood health and all your children are blessed with a gift this year. I am a single father recently laid off from my job (shortly after thanksgiving). Me and my children just moved into an apartment on the east side of Columbus, Ohio. Recently...recently as in "on Thanksgiving Day". Well needless to say I have no money at all for Christmas this year. My daughter just turned 8 years old on Friday (14th) and I wish you could have seen went I went through to make the day SEEM like a birthday. It was my last few bucks, along with a few more borrowed, but I worked it out. I am a proud man at times, but humble when appropriate. I don't like to ask for anything from anybody, most of the time. But I am a man and can accept when I need help. I cannot accept no Christmas for my children. My son is 13. I have full custody and have had for the past 5 years. It has been rough, but my long time friend/girlfriend/ex girlfriend (tricky, huh?), has been a gem at helping me whenever she could in any way. As I have done with her and her children. We are no longer together but I still feel obligated to her two boys (12 & 14) to do something for them. They are great boys too. Dwight, the 14 year old is on honor roll and has been for quite some time now. Arthur, he's 12 he is picking back up. He was slipping but is showing outstanding improvement. Very respectful. Good kids . All attending inner city schools. I love all my children. All I ask is if you can help out in ANY way. A Bratz poster... a Marvel comic book... heck I'll take coupons for free food. I really have nothing this year, and I know the TRUE meaning of Christmas. I know it has nothing to do with toys. My boys know that there isnt a Santa Clause (but they know they better keep a lid on it), but my daughter is currently deciding what kind of cookies to leave out for the big guy in the red suit. They are very humble and appreciative children. They work very hard in school (inner city youth), are very respectful, and I love them very, very much. I will take anything. The ages are Dwight(14), DeLavonte (13), Arthur Lee (12),DeLayne Jr. (12), and MeLayna (turned 8 on 12/14). Anything lightly used but not badly bruised is fine too. Arthur has some learning issues so educational items are welcome as well. All have been on honor roll since the fall, and they deserve better than I can provide this year. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am a single father. Please help... anyone. God Bless
