fulfilled [Request] 2/5 & 7/Quincy & Adrian/Lincoln NE

Hello! My name is Sierra. I am 28F Single mother in Nebraska. I am one of those mothers that always tries my best to go all out for my 2 boys (Quincy Age 5 and Adrian Age 7). I tend to go without my own wants and needs to be able to provide a better quality of life for my boys especially for Christmas and Birthdays (as I’m sure most of us moms do, am I right?) They’ve never gone without I’ve made sure of it. However, this year looks different in our household. About a month ago I was in a 4 car pile up crash on my way to school-pick up. I was the last vehicle in the pile up and only had liability insurance so unfortunately my vehicle was totaled. I spent about 2 weeks in bed with severe whiplash unable to bend over or move much. Unfortunately I did lose my job as well due to the lack of transportation. I have since then found a new job selling Solar virtually from home. However, it’s a commission based gig and I haven’t brought home an actual paycheck yet. We are falling behind on a lot of things but I’m doing my best with what I have available to me.

About my kids:

Quincy Age 5 - Quincy passed an exam in our school district in order to be enrolled in kindergarten early this year :) He was 4 at the time. He is keeping up with the other kids and excelling. Quincy LOVES being a helper. He is smart and kind. Quincy also excels in sports. He absolutely adores soccer - he has also played teeball. Come spring/summer he wants to try out basketball and flag football next. Quincy is a leader he likes to set an example of following directions and giving his best effort. He also loves puppies and arts and crafts.

Adrian Age 7 - Adrian is in 2nd grade and he was selected last year to be in the advanced gifted program at school. This will carry with him through senior year and means he will be occasionally pulled out of class to engage in learning at a higher level. Adrian does not particularly enjoy sports - he aspires to one day be a famous YouTuber like MrBeast! Adrian also enjoys playing Minecraft. I am looking into finding some kind of coding club for kids in our area to feed his hobbies and interests. I think he would be great at computer science and it makes for a great skill for his future!

We really appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this group. I am inspired by the selflessness that the Santas here display. Not only financially but also in the giving of their time and effort. I do pray to one day be in a position that I may give back as well. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi! Thank you for the update. I received your gift note also by the way - thank you so much 🫶🏼 We will go with the race track please and thank you. I actually noticed him playing with the same track at the after school program last week and he really liked it. So that works out great. We appreciate you!
