Four-year-old Jason, has a learning disability. Educational toys that will help him identify letters of the alphabet and pronounce them correctly would be a treasured Christmas gift. Books on tape would also be helpful and a bike would make this the most memorable Christmas of all.
His sisters are a year old and 3 years old. Patricia and Tina don't have learning disabilities, but their mother still would love to see them receive educational toys for Christmas. Suggestions include books, building blocks and toys that will keep them occupied and challenged.
Mr. Q lives on a fixed income with some simple needs that would make this Christmas happier for him. He has made companions of the outdoor cats in his neighborhood, but it's difficult to find the extra money to feed them. Donations of cat food, grocery store or pharmacy gift certificates would be really appreciated by Mr. Q. He's in need of some extra-large clothing including pajamas, undershirts, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and large or extra-large socks. Toiletries are also needed.
