Empty Stocking Fund: Mom wishes for little things to brighten Christmas for four daughters
A parent of four girls – 17-year-old twins, an 11-year-old and an 8-year-old – is seeking help during the holidays this year. "They are amazing young ladies," the parent writes. "They all work so hard in school and they try to ask for little. With my mom just being diagnosed with breast cancer, it makes it hard for me to be able to provide the little things. … We are really grateful for everything you do as an organization. As you say, it takes a village to raise kids."
The Empty Stocking Fund has helped make Christmas better for those who needed it for 90 years. Last year, the charity raised more than $74,000 for children and families across the region, helping 1,000 families.
