Hello, my name is Michael, I am a father of 3 beautiful, amazing little girls. As a father I have tried to give my girls the type of life I didn't have growing up. It hasn't always been easy, and they don't live a life of luxury, but I some how manage to get by and provide. I lost my job in October 2018, and have had a very difficult time finding a new job. I have been able to stay current on rent n my bills and rent by doing temp jobs and with the help of some family members. But with the winter season upon us, I stress to find a way to get my daughters new jackets and other essential winter clothing. And as the holiday season inches closer I realize more and more how hard things really are. My 2 older daughters told me that they understand if they don't get any presents this year and it broke my heart to hear it, to know that they would go with out on Christmas this year. I'll be honest I feel like a failure as a father, not knowing if I can even give my children a Christmas this year. With the exception of family, I don't ask for help. I've always been a proud man, and the idea of setting up this page made me ashamed n embarrassed, but the way I feel while setting this up is nothing compared to the way I feel when I think of failing then this Christmas. I am a pessimistic person and never expect anything good to happen to me, but I've seen how amazing and caring people can be and I just have to try. I'm seeking donations in the hopes of getting my daughters better winter apparel and giving them a decent Christmas. As I said I am a pessimist, and I'm not expecting anything to come about from this page, but as the title says, I'm praying for a Christmas miracle. I appreciate you taking time to read my story. God bless you and happy holidays
