Do you know a family going through a rough time? If so, tell me their story.

The Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians are helping me share the spirit of the holidays with $500 gift cards for 12 San Diego families.  Thanks for the help, looking forward to playing Santa. -Chris Cantore Nominate a someone here! Amber’s story:

Amber is a struggling single mother of two, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. She’s currently going to school to earn a nursing degree. She has one semester left. Amber lives with my sister and myself. We all moved in together 10 months ago to take care of my older sister who was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed away in October. Throughout the past 10 months Amber not only went to school, took care of her babies, but also helped with the care of my sister. She stayed with my sister through her final hours, giving her whatever care was needed. I would like to repay her for the love and compassion she gave to my sister. I hope you will consider her for the 500 gift certificate.  It would make her and her children’s Christmas much brighter. Jean’s story:
