Help make a Christmas miracle for a family in need

Hi everyone my name is Angelica I'm a 21 year old college student and all I want for Christmas this year is to give a family a miracle. 

I have already saved up my own money and told my parents I do not want any gifts just the money they would have spent on me to be used to buy presents for a family in need. I have become very close to a family who is suffering in these tough times. They use to live up here in Boston but had to move to Arizona for a promotion. The father is the only one who is employed but his paycheck can only cover some bills and food on the table. The mother stays home to look after her 3 beautiful kids. They do everything they can to save money like making her own clothes for the kids, for Halloween she sewed their costumes.

In these hard times having a Christmas for their three beautiful children will be very difficult and may put them further in financial struggles. All the money I raise here is going directly to them in the form of toys and clothes. I do not want them to know where it came from I just want them to know there is good in this world. This family truly is one of the most kind hearted people in the world and they deserve this. These kids are so understanding they never expect anything more than what they get but I know they will be so happy and surprised.

Please help any amount will make a difference in their lives. To donate go to www.gofundme.com/Miracle-Christmas
