Home for the Holidays – The “Preston” Family’s Story:
This season, we have the privilege of supporting a mother and her three children who are rebuilding their lives with strength and quiet bravery.
During a long and difficult divorce, this mother has held her family together through transition, uncertainty, and emotional strain. She currently works three jobs to provide stability, school support, and a sense of normalcy for her children. She gives all she has — every day — to ensure her family keeps moving forward.
Recently, they moved into a new home. This home represents safety. Peace. And a place to breathe again. But like many families who rebuild from scratch, creating warmth takes time, resources, and community.
The Children
Twin teen boys – Tyson and Zach are creative and active — one loves music, art, and color; the other loves baseball, skateboards, and jerseys. Their sister is imaginative and joyful, dreaming in unicorns and clouds.
Tyson age 15
Size 18 in pants (Big Boys) or 30×30 in men’s
Medium in men’s shirts
Size 18(Big Boys) or Men’s Small in coats (major need)
Zach age 15
Size Men’s 30×32 Pants
Size Large in Men’s Shirts
Size 11 Men’s Shoes
Zoe age 10
Size 16 Big Girls in Pants
Size 16 Big Girls Shirts
Size 16 Girls in Coats
Size 3 Kids Shoes
Their requests are simple and meaningful:
Storage for their rooms
A bean bag chair and a vanity
Art supplies and an easel
A shadow box to display a jersey
Coats and clothing in their current sizes
These are kids who are grateful, not demanding. They are asking for what supports who they already are.
The Mother – Diane
Their mother is rebuilding a home and a life at the same time. She is steady, hardworking, and deeply devoted. Because most of her earnings are going toward daily living needs — especially groceries, which currently cost her hundreds per week — grocery gift cards would be one of the most meaningful ways to support this family’s stability.
Business casual clothing would also help her continue to balance work with confidence and professionalism.
Size XL in pants
Size 16/L or XL – Shirts
Size 9.5 Shoes
Home Touches Needed
Light fixtures or lamps for the bedrooms and living room
A small dining table to bring everyone back to the same place, together
Your generosity puts the bow on the home and will add smiles to their faces — just in time for the holidays!
