Dear Portland Press Herald Toy Fund,
My two daughters and I are living in a shelter. I have zero income and have been working on getting work, but I was in a bad car accident and my back hurts really bad. I do not have insurance so it has been hard to get help for it.

It would be really nice if I can get some help to give my daughters something for Christmas.
Thank you.
