🎄 Christmas Compassion Outreach 2025
“Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
Family #20 – Amber C.
Date Submitted: 11-25-2025
Adults in Home:
• Amber C. (Female, full-time employed + part-time second job)
• Husband (Male, currently unemployed due to government shutdown)
Children:
• Delilah, age 16 (Female)
• Raelynn, age 2 (Female)
Family Story and Situation:
Amber shared that she and her husband were both employed until September, but after the government shutdown, her husband has been unable to secure work. Even though Amber works full time — and just accepted a second part-time job — the family is now two months behind on rent and struggling to keep up with bills. She said they have been relying on local blessing boxes for groceries and often cannot reach food banks before they close after her shift.
Amber expressed how difficult it has been to admit she needs help, saying she feels like she is failing her children. She is doing everything she can to keep her home stable, but the financial strain continues to grow. Her deepest desire is simply to give her daughters a Christmas gift so they don’t feel the weight of the situation the way she does.
Christmas Needs:
• Groceries
• Assistance toward rent
• Clothing needs for the children
– Delilah: bottoms 20/22, tops 3X, underwear 2X, socks (shoe size 9)
– Raelynn: clothing 3T, socks, diapers size 6
Christmas Wishes:

• Makeup
• Stitch-themed items
For Raelynn (2, Female):
• Educational toys
• Baby doll
