Our Story
Me and my husband have been together for 4 years and this year has been the toughest we had 3 under 3 . 2 special needs kids it’s quit the caos over here . Finances have been so tight we’re stretched thin with my husband situation and we have both loss family members on each side of our family and plus my moms heath issue we just wish we could just go home for the holidays . Even we know that’s not realistic to happen traveling with 3 kids we just hope and pray we can give our kids a birthday this year and celebrate our daughter’s birthday .
