Yesterday, my life changed in the most unexpected and beautiful way. I found out that I'm going to be the guardian of an amazing little boy who is 4 years old. He'll be turning 5 on New Year's Eve, and he means the world to me already.

The truth is, I wasn't prepared for this. I wasn't planning on doing much for the holidays this year, but now everything is different. This little guy is going to need so much as he settles into his new home with me. He needs clothes, shoes, bedding, toys, books, and all the things that help a child feel safe and cared for. He needs to know that he's loved and that people want to help welcome him into our family.

Christmas is coming, and then his birthday is just a week later on New Year's Eve. I want so badly to make those days special for him, to show him that he's worth celebrating. But I'm being honest about where I'm at right now. I need help to make this possible.

I'm asking for whatever you can give, no matter how small. Your support would help me provide this little boy with the basics he needs and create some joy and celebration during these important first moments together. Thank you so much for considering helping us. God bless you.
