Jocelyn, 53, has been working out a deal with her landlord after falling behind on her rent. She will be moving into a new apartment come January and she wants to pay the back rent to her landlord before she leaves.

Jocelyn is disabled, afflicted with diabetes, arthritis, clinical depression and hypertension. She receives cash assistance from the state of New Mexico and Social Security disability, but since she's unable to work, it wasn't enough to pay the bills. She is asking the Empty Stocking Fund for $1,100 to pay back rent. Case No. PMS-09-0112.


Contributions to the Empty Stocking Fund should be made payable to The New Mexican's Empty Stocking Fund and mailed to the Santa Fe Community Foundation, P.O. Box 1827, Santa Fe, NM 87504-1827. Or visit the Web site www.santafecf.org and click on the "Give Now" link to make a donation to the Empty Stocking Fund.

If you wish to remain anonymous, please indicate on your check. Funds will go into the Empty Stocking general fund and may not be restricted to a particular case.

All donations are tax deductible. For gifts to be deductible for this year's taxes, your envelope must be postmarked by Dec. 31. Donations such as clothes, appliances, food or any tangible item of any kind should be made directly to The Salvation Army, 525 W. Alameda St.

The Santa Fe New Mexican, the Santa Fe Community Foundation, The First National Bank of Santa Fe, The Salvation Army and Presbyterian Medical Services donate their services to jointly administer the Empty Stocking Fund.

Due to such a large quantity of applications this year, the Empty Stocking Fund will no longer accept applications.
