Meet a Family | IBEW Elf Team IBEW01

Family Name: Tinsel

The Tinsel family is a loving family that has been facing some incredibly difficult times. Mrs. Tinsel is living with lupus, a chronic autoimmune condition that can make even everyday tasks challenging. While managing her own health, she is doing her best to provide a safe, loving, and stable home for her children. Mr. Tinsel is currently undergoing treatment and working toward a healthier future for himself and his family. Together, they have faced trauma and financial hardships that have made everyday life especially difficult. One of the young Tinsels also experiences developmental delays affecting his speech, learning, and fine motor skills. A tablet with communication and educational apps would be a wonderful tool to help him learn, grow, and express himself. Despite the challenges this family is facing, Mrs. Tinsel continues to work hard to give her children the love and support they deserve. Let us come together this holiday season to lift some of the weight off this family's shoulders and surround the Tinsel family with kindness, joy, and a little Christmas magic! Together, we can help bring smiles, laughter, and some much-needed holiday cheer to these deserving children and their family.
