"I think it is amazing what you are doing and I am very confident that I have the PERFECT family!
We lost our close friend Brian back on March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) of this year in a tragic motorcycle accident. He left behind a wife and six children with the youngest being 2 now and the oldest being 16 years of age. I am sure that this Christmas is going to be extra hard, not only trying to provide six children with gifts, but to make it through the holidays alone without her Husband.
Traci is one of the most selfless and strongest women I know. She just lost her Husband less than a year ago, with six children in tow, and she still manages to put a smile on her face every day. When you ask her how she does it she simply replies she has to, for her children. She NEVER asks for a handout of any kind and she is definitely the first person to give instead of receive. She has been there and done so many things for me personally. For example when I was pregnant and bed ridden this past summer she, on more than one occasion, has brought me flowers and cheesecake. She has given me clothes for Miss P. Anything she can do to help others she does.
I want nothing more than to try to make this Christmas a happy time for them all but especially her."
Can you imagine losing your husband and having to raise 6 kids ALONE?
Let's help take some of the burden off Traci this Christmas.
The Baum family is in need of gift cards or monetary donations.
Anything would help them.
If you're interested in helping out Traci and her kids this Christmas, please email me at MLHolidayPayItForward@yahoo with the subject title "Mama- Traci Baum" and I'll get you the information you need.
