We're making an effort to fulfill as many holiday wishlists as possible this year! Our December event highlights this list from UCDVS. As we continue to get lists from our community, they will be added to this page!
The following list will continue to change as new lists get submitted/existing lists get fulfilled. If you believe your list was removed by mistake please email admin@laurenmcbrideblog.com.
Ally, mother of a 4 year old girl and 9 month old boy
"My daughter is 4 years old, loves everything pink and sparkly! She is obsessed with mermaids, unicorns and butterflies! My son is 9 months old and the typical boy; cars, trucks, blue etc! I’d truly appreciate anything! I’m a single mom and I can’t afford much this year. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I hope you have a blessed week and I pray you have a safe weekend ! My address is attached to the list with the name “from Santa” so that my daughter can be excited when she sees that!"
Oliver's Wish List
"I am a mother of a 7 year old boy and pregnant with our rainbow baby due March, being the primary care giver of my mom who has been diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer has taken a toll of our family since I need to be off work to translate [for her]"
S&C Wish List
"Hi!! I’m a single mom juggling everything on my own for my sweet 7-year-old. I’m finishing my MBA this week (yay student loans!) while working full-time and it can definitely be exhausting emotionally and financially. My daughter keeps asking what I’ve asked Santa for and I always forget to put anything under the tree for myself. I’d rather it all go to her but here’s a shared wishlist for us both 💞 Thank you for even considering our list!"
Mama to 4…. 2 girls: ages 14, 10 and 2 boys: ages 3 and 1
"Currently out of work but trying to keep up with life by door dashing every moment I can. Stuck in a tough spot and just trying to make a memorable Christmas for the ones who deserve it most. Thanks so much, Sarah"
For a friend and her two daughters (11 & 16)
"Hi there! I’m sending this link for my friend… She is a newly single mom, struggling with health issues of her own, after taking care of her sick husband for several years. She is the greatest human, and a true blessing to all who know her. I made this list of things that her and her two daughters (11 & 16) would love ❤️ Thanks so much for considering!"
Mother of a (soon to be) 2 year old girl

"It has definitely been a hard year and feels so weird to be on this side of things but so so appreciate any help people can provide! I’m not entirely sure how this works so I created an Amazon wishlist with some of our daughters needs & wants. [This year] we really took a major hit financially. It was a really horrible and terrifying multiple months...We are still trying so hard to dig ourselves out of the hole we found ourselves in. On top of it being Christmas it is also my daughter’s 2nd birthday [soon]!! She is so spunky, fun and kind. She absolutely loves reading, playing in her play kitchen, and snacks! Boy does that girl love her snacks 😂 It’s just the 3 of us plus our 2 dogs! I’m sure there are many people who have had it much worse this year so just please know I completely understand if others need this more and our list isn’t able to be shared."
Mom to 2 boys(teens) and a girl(preteen) 💜
"I just left a 20plus year abusive marriage after I also found out he was using. I was a stay at home mom so I literally have nothing. I have 3 kids- 2 boys(teens) and a girl(preteen). I have zero idea how I’m going to make Christmas work. I tried angel tree but they turned me away because I could provide proof of income. Any case, here is their list.. I realize it’s long, but it’s just their “wishlist” and they’re kids… please don’t feel obligated.. anything helps. Literally, anything. I’m so grateful. Please keep me ANON because, right now, my ex can’t know where I am. Thank you for ALL you’re doing. 💜💜💜💜"
Mom of 2 girls (ages 7&8)
"I am a proud mom of two incredible girls, ages 7 and 8. Life in our home is busy in the best way- as I juggle two jobs and care for my medically complex daughter. I am a single mom learning to navigate the world on my own and this has presented a few challenges, especially financially. Between every day expenses and medical needs, there is not much wiggle room in my budget for any Christmas gifts. My girls have been joyful and resilient throughout the year and I would be grateful for any kindness that helps make their Christmas a little brighter."
Mom of three — a 13 year old boy, an 11 year old girl, and a 5 year old girl
"I’m not entirely sure how to begin this, but I’m reaching out in hopes of getting some support for my family this Christmas. I’m a mom of three — a 13 year old boy, an 11 year old girl, and a 5 year old girl. This past year has been incredibly difficult for us. My husband lost his job last year, found another one a few months later, and then was laid off again six months after that. He thankfully started a new job this year, but we’ve fallen behind on a lot of bills, our mortgage, gas, and electric and have been working hard to catch up. I recently took on a second job to help, but things are still very tight. My car also urgently needs rear tires and front brakes, which has been another worry. More than anything, I’d love to give my kids a Christmas that feels normal."
Single mom of teen boy
portions of this submission have been altered/omitted to ensure anononmity
I cannot believe I am writing this, but I just spent the past 2 hours going through finances, bills, paychecks and I have no idea how I am going to pay for any gifts for the holidays for my son and fiance. My son['s birthday is soon] and has had a horrible year getting bullied (to the point the police got involved). He suffers from severe anxiety and...started at a new school...and it has been a horrible time. Mixed with my ex attempting to legally drag me through endless custody issues, just to drop any custody requests after he knew he was successful (for a second time) of draining me of my money. This time my son caught on to the harsh truth that his biological father did not actually want to spend time with him...My son deserves the world, as well as my fiance has been a godsend stepping in as a father-figure to my son. They are best friends and already have traditions with each other. I have attached a wish list for them. I do not need anything! So this wish list is just for them. Especially my son.
