Dear Portland Press Herald Toy Fund,

We live in rural Maine. My husband has been unable to find a new job and has been unemployed for five months. You just don’t know how much we will appreciate your help. It will be such a help – more than you can imagine! It is hard to think how I could provide a Christmas when it is such a stress providing a roof over our heads and food for the table. I hope you can help us.

Thank you so much!
