Hey Everyone, I used to be a part of a group similiar to this one, but haven't used this website in a long time. Unfortunately, I got caught up with school, work, and being a single mother. I've decided that I need to make time for other mothers in my life, whether it be for friends, advice, what have you. I chose to join this group because 2 years ago when i could not afford to give my son much of a Christmas at all, I had an angel on a site quite like this one who sent gifts to my son, I am now here hoping to return the favor to someone in need. I know we're all going through a hard time, and though I may not be able to do much, I'm hoping to be able to do something for someone. Now on to introduce myself. My name is Samantha, I am a 22 almost 23 year old unmarried mother, I'm dating a guy now for almost a year who is not my son's father but is wonderful with him. My son Dylan is 3 and will be 4 in May. We currently live in NJ and I'm going to school for a business degree. I am an employee for Wawa for those of you who live in the northern area of the East Coast and know what that is. I hope to make some new friends and hopefully help someone in need.

First, I had to say-What a great person you are-for returning the kindness :) I am Rachelle, I'm not here too much, but I like to check in every now and then. I'd love to help others this Christmas, but I'm not sure that I will be able to. I'm also a single parent, and found myself working two jobs just to survive. Times are sure hard, but with people like you out there-the light still shines :)

Thank that really means a lot, like I said I'm here to return the favor. Paying it forward so to speak, and though I don't need any recognition, it's just something I feel is right and something I need to do because everyone needs a little help sometimes... I really appreciate what you said. Thank you.
