Single mother seeking help for holidays

If you want to help a family in need this Christmas, we've still got plenty of Holiday Help letters for you to choose from.

For example, a single mother having trouble finding work is requesting clothes and a Christmas gift for her 4-year-old daughter.

"She is very easy to please," the mother writes. "She attends pre-K and loves it."

The premise of our program is simple: People in need write letters describing their plight, and people with plenty choose letters and then help the people in need.

To see the letters and make a selection, stop by our lobby on the first floor of the Hardaway Building at 945 Broadway from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Wednesday and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Christmas Eve.

If you have a great need this holiday season, we hope you'll send us a holiday help letter, but hurry, because time is running out.

Here's how: Write a letter describing what you need. Be sure to include your name, phone number and address so donors can contact you. To guarantee the letter gets to us in time for someone to consider it before Christmas, you should drop it off in the Ledger-Enquirer lobby.

If you have an abundance, we hope you'll consider helping.

The Ledger-Enquirer does not screen letters, nor can it guarantee their truthfulness.

Happy holidays from the Ledger-Enquirer!
