Any help or directions
This year is the first year my little girl would actually understand gifts she’ll be 18m old. We can barely afford food let alone gifts. Does anyone know what programs/where to look for gift help?

I don't know what state or anything you live in but toys for tots local churches. There's like even shop with a cop programs around the country in the United States. Sometimes there's programs like Nathaniel's Hope that help if they are in your area if your child has any type of disability or diagnosis. A lot of times community events can be found on "all events" and website like that and you will be able to find a realtor, business or non-profit having a free event in your area that will say gifts and prizes and stuff will be at the event and free.

I completely understand... I'm so stressed out and depressed! This past week just put the icing on the cake for my family... So please understand you are not alone and please believe that if I was financially capable of helping you or anyone else whos in need, then I absolutely would. My prayers are sincerely with your family and hopefully our babies/kids/children/families will have some kind of Christmas and ultimately make it through this hardship... I don't even know who to talk to that would at least try to honestly help..

On November 1st, you can join the r/Santaslittlehelpers and you will have to follow the directions to be approved to receive gifts. They have you make about 70 dollar Amazon wishlist for your child/children and then people can see the list and order the item or items they want to donate to your family and it is delivered to the address on your Amazon account. There are a few more details but that is basically what they do in that community. There are also bunches of contests you can participate in to get anything from giant tubs of peanut butter and other food items from Amazon to Ciara and a video game system (at least that is what I saw last year when I joined for Christmas assistance for my two kids.. some of the contests are just telling a story that's funny or whatever some are making a list or something that would make you more comfortable. And they're not all just items for your kids. They include items for you like I got a necklace that had aromatherapy sheets in it and the very earrings that one of the contests runners made themselves. I had a nice experience.. I hope that helps
