PLANO — Six months ago, a woman and her three children showed up at Hope's Door, a domestic violence shelter in Plano.
Under the circumstances, she knew that giving Christmas gifts to her kids this year would be impossible.
"We've made it this far, and hopefully, everything falls into place, and if it doesn't, then so be it — there will be other Christmases," she said.
Now, their only hope for gifts this Christmas is in jeopardy.
The holiday party for Hope's Door clients won't get the toys and gifts that a charity had promised to them.
"Very disappointed," said the mother of three, who did not wish for her identity to be revealed. "I don't have another means to give my children presents."
In all, 98 children and their moms at the shelter have been turned down.
Pat Tosi from Hope's Door told News 8 the charity they partnered with pulled out Tuesday because the shelter refused to hand over the names of the women in need.
