Community centres and other social agencies sometimes will give gifts for kids in need.

My sister just reminding me that my uncle (moms side) works on cars and I am asking him to do it and I will buy all the parts for him to do it which I'm sure he wouldn't charge me. So fingers crossed. And if not than I will have my family get an extra present for him and say it's from Santa. Thank you though ladies. You're all truly amazing. ?

Then I would look into toys for tots or other church organizations in your area for help. There's no shame in asking for help when needed

My parents went through a few Christmases like this with me and my 2 brothers. We had a few dollar tree Christmases with one "big" gift (about $20 if that) and we never knew the difference.

What @mother said?

You ladies are so sweet. ? You're all making me cry more. He is 3, almost 4! He is so looking * for presents, he keeps telling me what he wants and he wants to see Santa.

My car does need to get worked on asap or else we will be without a car, which I cannot be without since we only have 1.

I would also love to get something if you did an amazon wish list!! :) my son has so much stuff he isn't getting anything this year besides two small things.

Call your local Salvation Army, the kid's school, churches, google your county name + gift assistance. There are tons of programs out there to help you!

I know how you feel. My husband lost his job yesterday. I'm not even sure how we are going to pay our bills this month. Definitely not going to be able to buy Christmas presents

You guys are so sweet. ❤️

If you make an amazon wishlist I would like to get something off it for your son as well! Please let me know!

How olds you lo? I can send a character hat from my shop.

@cait thank you so much ?

Christmas is my favorite time of year, I always go broke helping everybody but it's so worth it. I'm really proud of the Toddler Toy Trade though, I thought it was a great idea!

You can also look into some local churches.

Hooray you're so sweet. ❤️?

@OP I started a "Toddler Toy Trade" on facebook, basically giving families an opportunity to trade toys in good condition, younger kids have no idea if their toy is brand new or just brand new to them, maybe look into something like that? If you have older kids that would notice, make an amazon wishlist and I'll buy them something from there, I'd love to help, my son is beyond blessed this year.

How old is your child? Like old enough to know or remember not getting anything?? And can u maybe do a payment plan for your car work? Some local mechanics will do that if u know them. I know my sisters does. U can always go to the dollar store and get some little things

Look into blue Santa in your area.

Do you file your taxes with hr block? You can get a tax loan of up to $1000

Can you sign up for presents to be donated to your son? I'm so sorry things come up in life all the time and it really sucks but it's not your fault. Just spend a lot of time with your baby on the holiday and maybe try to get something from the dollar tree. I'm really sorry mama that really stinks.

Do you have toys for tots around you? There's so many places that will help get presents for your little one.

Good luck!

Does the work have to be done right away? How old is your son?

I'm sorry ?
