'Tis The Season to Pay It Forward!

As we’re all listening to Christmas music, reading Christmas stories, watching Christmas movies, and making holiday plans with our families, all is not well in the world. There is a single mom with three young boys who had to take temporary refuge at her local shelter because the money ran out and she hasn’t been able to find another job.

We all could be just one paycheck away from that. There was a time when I was overwhelmed by my monthly expenses because childcare cost me more than what I paid to live in a two bedroom apartment with my son.

I said enough is enough and did what I said I would never do – I moved back to my hometown, where I had the support of my family and started over. For about a year and a half, we lived with my parents, worked two jobs, and slowly got back on my feet. Finally, we moved into our own place and I slowly adjusted to my new normal.

But, what if I didn’t have a soft place to land? This time of year, especially, as my grandchildren make Christmas lists and I am fortunate enough to be able to grant some of their wishes, I think of others. . .
