  6. I looking for help for a 12yr old and a 11mos old grandbaby for CHRISTmas. I’m disabled and supporting 5 of us on 750 that I receive for disability and 235 in food stamps. I budget and still fall short on just bills. Food never makes it til the end of the month either, and it just gets harder at the holidays. Also we have no vehicle, so spare change has to be saved up for taxis to get groceries (no real busing system here). We live in Houghton County.

  34. Help for Tuscola County? I live right on the border(literally 1 city block!) outside Genesee County. I have 3 teen boys, the youngest with special needs and I have Multiple Sclerosis that put me on permanent disability 7 years ago which has only gone downhill since last Thanksgiving when my grandfather passed away. He was the glue that held our family together and no one has seemed to find a way to make the best of life since he left. Last Christmas I was receiving shut off notices for every bill in my home due to the crazy that ensued and was in tears when I got the letters that someone anonymously paid over $1200 to keep the heat and lights on. Any help with gifts would amazing. We never hurt for food(though the selection tends to get slim at times, the boys always have full bellies).

  40. Hi..
    We are a disabled couple.
    We have no extra resources for a Christmas holiday meal box. We are unable to join in on community type
    Gatherings ..due to my husband’s low
    Immune system. He is a patient at the
    University of Michigan Hospital for a heart transplant. We live in the 48509 zipcode in Burton Michigan. We have been turned down by Catholic charities because they said they don’t serve our zipcode. However the other two zip codes from burton are covered. The food bank of eastern MI has also refused us! It seems there are no charitable organizations that recognizes our zip code! I have researched extensively ..but to no avail!
    I am sure that we are not the person’s in the 48509 area ..that could use a hand! Any insight into this .
    Would be awesome… Thank you

  56. I live in Alma, MI which is Gratiot county. Is there any Christmas help, aside from Toys for Tots? I believe they are only able to give one gift per child and I have no way to provide additional Christmas gifts, since I’m still waiting on payment from all 33 weeks of unemployment. Thank you and God Bless!
