working she's called me multiple times this week to see if there's anything I needed because I broke my hip I told her she doesn't even have a car and she responded that she'd figured something out that's the way she is always looking for the needs of others despite her own difficulties her car has some major problems it's a 2002 with lots of miles it seems to be a continual sinkhole for repairs

aide at the elementary school so she gets paid she gets very little paid time off December is already a short month because of the holiday a break so her paycheck will be quite small her property taxes are due this month and they have doubled all of the unexpected expenses have eaten away at the money she's tried to save up for them the taxes are actually due today right here so secret santa

chemotherapy and radiation in an effort to raise money each year for school clothes school activities and Christmas Andrea spends the month of August harvesting fruit and making hundreds of rolls of fruit leather that she and her kids can then sell because of the chemo and the regular toll it takes on her body she doesn't she's unable to work a full-time consistent job just last week her car died

tries to help out at the kids school as much as she can she is there for her friends even when she isn't feeling well and most times she doesn't let people know just how bad she is feeling being a
