Operation Band-Aid: Family #2

Linda is a 36 year old mother of three living with extended family members in the Peoria, AZ community. She is struggling to overcome her addiction to prescription pills. She is currently unable to provide for her family in the most basic ways. Her children range in age from 6 to 15. These kids haven't had much of anything fun in quite awhile, and their requests for Christmas gifts are simple and humble.

For example, Linda's middle child plays Pop Warner football whenever he can. In the back of his mind he always wonders if his mom is going to bother showing up for the games. He doesn't always get to play because he doesn't have cleats that fit. His last pair was a hand-me-down from a cousin, and they're 2 sizes too small and falling apart.

Please look over the wish lists below. After each child's wish list is a donate button. Will you consider helping Addiction Overcome give them BAND-AID? This family has considerable financial needs. We'd like to provide them with gift certificates for gas, groceries, and even some fun things for them to do as a family, like movies or fast food restaurants.
