A travel trailer is this little family’s home as the mother struggles to pay the bills after injuries made it impossible for her to work.

“The lot rent is the most we can cover at this time,” she told Christmas for All.

The mother has applied for disability payments, but it hasn’t yet been approved.

“We are in the final stages of determination but will not have an income until at least February,” the mom said.

She and her daughter, a young teen, are living with a friend who is also disabled after having a massive heart attack and other health issues.

She said there is no money for anything for Christmas. Any funds they have must pay for food, power and the rent.

This is the 32nd year Press Christmas for All has worked to brighten the lives of people like this during the holiday season.

The program helps everyone in need, including struggling young families, seniors, people with disabilities and mental illnesses. Many are alone, and despair is common.

Through Christmas for All, these less fortunate neighbors feel the compassion of a caring community during what can be a very difficult time of year for them.

Each year, Press readers donate generously to the program. The money collected is distributed in the form of gift cards to those who might not otherwise be able to put a holiday meal on the table or purchase a small gift for a child.

Press Christmas for All is managed by The Hagadone Corp., with assistance from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue. It is a legally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, run entirely by volunteers at The Hagadone Corp., the Coeur d’Alene Press and Kootenai County Fire and Rescue.

Every penny raised is distributed to needy Kootenai County residents. All overhead costs are covered by The Hagadone Corp. and the volunteers at Kootenai County Fire and Rescue.

Donations are tax-deductible and can be made by dropping off or mailing a check to: Press Christmas for All, 215 Second St., Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814.
