Little Lovelies Giving | Helping Families in Need

Hi friends! I’m so excited to share some families that can use our help this holiday season! A few days ago, we decided as a community to take nominations for families in need for us to fulfill their Amazon wishlists and send help and prayers this season! The response has been overwhelming, and after much prayer and careful consideration, we will be taking a few families needs and turning it into something special this holiday season!

I didn’t title this post anything about Christmas, because I fully believe we will continue to bless families throughout the entire year! 2020 is going to be a year for BLESSING others!

Please pray with me for all of the families that sent in emails that aren’t on this list currently. Pray their needs be met and their spirits be lifted this season! Pray specifically for healing for many of them. My heart has been so heavy reading these stories and I want nothing more than to help each and every one of them. I do believe God wants to touch every one of their lives in a very special way and I know some really great things are going to come from this!

How it Works

I’m going to share each of the families and their wishlist. For purchasing, you just click their wishlist and find something to give. It can be as little or as much as you feel led! This will ship directly to the family without displaying their address or your address! Please let me know if you get stuck somewhere or if you need any help at all!

When the family’s wishlist is fulfilled (hopefully quickly) we will add another family! I can’t wait to bless them and see God work through this community!

Meet the Families

Aaron, Camryn (9) & Capree (6) – California

Nominated by his sister:

“My brother joined the Air Force in 2009 as a firefighter to provide a better life for his wife and child. He, his wife and daughter lived in Wyoming, then in Washington while he persuaded his career and served our Country. His wife struggled being a military wife and mom all along. She started going downhill after their second daughter and after he re-enlisted for another 4 years. Three years ago, right before Christmas, his wife abandoned him and their two daughters for a life of addiction and many other things that don’t align with what a wife and mother should be doing. She has had no contact with my nieces since she left them.

Being a single father with a military firefighting schedule was nearly impossible for my brother and he was forced to leave the military when his contract was up last February. Since moving home, to Sacramento, CA, he has been actively working at becoming a civilian firefighter. He is using money from his GI bill to go to school full time to get the necessary certifications all over again since military certifications do not transfer to civilian certifications in California.

He is still a single father and the sole provider for my nieces.

Since moving to Sacramento, he moved into a house with two roommates. These two roommates told him the week of Thanksgiving that they were moving out and only paying half of December’s rent. Along with the added stress of now having to come up with 2/3 of the rent, his GI bill only provides funds for time he is in school. This is a short school month due to the end of the semester so he is only getting half of his normal income. At this point, he will not be able to make rent nor provide any gifts for my nieces.”

Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/Y38MZBSBC1HR?ref=cm_sw_sm_r_wl_ip_j4wUa9QTQvDWJ

Specific Needs: “I asked what I can get them so they can have somewhat of a Christmas and all he wants for them is “stuff for their bedrooms” since they are no longer sharing a room.” I know they can always use household essentials such as toilet paper and groceries. Gas cards are great. He drives the girls 15 miles each way to school in order for them to go to a better school than he’s zoned for.

Specific Prayers: Prayers for his elderly German Shepherd. It looks like she has cancer for the second time and probably not going to be around much longer. She’s been a part of their family since before the girls were born and I know they are going to struggle very hard when she passes.

Prayers for my niece Camryn. She recently was accepted to the special ed program at her school for an undetermined learning disability. She struggles at school and I pray this helps her build the confidence she needs to get through school easier.

Prayers for my niece Capree who is struggling socially. She inherited a bit of some anger issues from her mother that have been hard to break.

Prayers for their estranged mother. I don’t know what demons she’s fighting, but I always pray for her to turn her life around. If not for the girls, for herself

Prayers for my nieces little hearts that they stay pure, kind and strong despite the cards they’ve been handed. They ask for and about their mom regularly still and, Camryn especially, struggles with the idea that they aren’t a priority to their mom. I pray for peace in their little lives.

Prayers for my brother to be raising two little girls in this world. He has an uphill battle and I pray the Lord lights the way for him to make the right choices for them to grow into strong women of God.

Prayers that my brother is accepted to the paramedic program that he recently applied for so that is able to land a job in his dream career that he has been working toward for almost 10 years. A job would be the hugest blessing for him and the girls.

The Carter Family – Georgia

Nominated by friends:

“I wanted to nominate a family near and dear to our family. It’s the Carter family. Jessica and her husband have 3 children, attend our church that they pour so much of their time into. Jessica volunteers at church, (children’s church teacher) at our kids elementary school nearly every day and is always willing and ready to help out anyone that needs it. I wanted to nominate them because over the summer this year she was diagnosed with a condition that causes fluid to collect around her brain and causes terrible migraines, body aches and so many other symptoms. However despite that, Jessica still continues to give back to others and with such a joyful heart. Jessica’s husband works as a union plumber, but was short hours many weeks by no jobs lined up because he works service department and if no work has to be done, he has no hours. They do not have much to spend on Christmas this year at all. I know this family would be so overjoyed to get a little help for Christmas this year. Please consider them. The sweetest family EVER!”

Specific Needs: Groceries: Kroger, Walmart, Publix. Gas cards are always helpful- BP, Shell, QT

Specific Prayers: clear direction for a situation and cure for pseudotumor cerebri.

Faith, 10 years old

I wanted to include Faith because her story touched my heart! While her mom didn’t ask for specific and tangible gifts, she asked for prayers and cards for Faith while she’s fighting a battle only most of us could imagine.

Nominated by her mom:

“My youngest daughter, Faith is 10 years old and was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer on September 2 of this year. Our world stopped that day. She is the youngest of 4 and is a fighter like non other. When I saw your post about nominating a family in need for Christmas I didn’t want to nominate my family rather I’d like to know if you would mind asking your followers to send Faith cards while she is being treated at St. Jude in Memphis starting December 29th. We have been blessed to have the opportunity for surgeons to remove Faith’s tumor which is in her abdomen on December 30th and she and I will stay for approximately 2 months for radiation while the rest of our family will have to go back home for work, school, etc. Faith has already gone through so much as she has already had 6 rounds of grueling chemotherapy to shrink this tumor so that it can be operated on safely. After radiation we will come back to Tulsa, Oklahoma where we live and have another 6-10 rounds of chemo. She is the bravest, strongest, most positive little girl you will ever meet. I’d love for her to be showered with more prayers and or letters to help cheer her up during this battle. We do have a facebook page for her “Fight For Faith” if you’d like to follow her journey.”

If you’d like to send something to Faith:

Faith Cowherd

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

262 Danny Thomas Place Memphis, TN 38105-3678

I know God is going to bless these families and more! I can’t wait to see him move and most of all just give grace, faith, comfort and healing to so many families in need of Him being near this season! THANK YOU in advance for helping, listening, praying and continuing to be the best community ever!!
