I have no money or help with my 4, 1, and 2 month old kids. My 4yr old is disabled. Can you please give me ideas as to where I can get help on food, clothes, shoes, and toys? I am on a very low income.

Most of the charities that do things like that have a cut off date of right around Thanksgiving for applications. Examples: the Salvation Army, Toys For Tots, etc. At thrift stores you can usually find some real nice things, some of them are even brand new, for very little money. There are also dollar stores. Each kid only needs one gift. Talk to the pastor of your church, they will usually take up a special anonymous offering for somebody in their church.
The older ones would be satisfied with a coloring book and crayons, these items could be wrapped separately and make two gifts. Also there must be grandparents, aunts and uncles that would be giving them gifts. Next year buy one item a month and put them away for Christmas. Kids don't need the latest styles and fancy electronic stuff. You can try the Salvation Army, they might be able to help you, especially with free clothing. I know where I live they are advertising on newscasts that they are short of gifts for the names that they have.
