Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.
“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.”

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.
Very dainty bone china cup and saucer and plate trio.
Crown Staffordshire of England.
China Pattern No F19744.
This would make a super Christmas gift.
Fine, bone china cup and saucer duo with the word "Mother" on it.
The set is by Queen Anne of England and would make a lovely gift for a treasured Mum.
