My Christmas Angels by Jason W. Chan

This is fiction based on a true story. Greg is a single dad struggling to take care of his little girl Angela. He is looking for work, but is not having any luck, applications at fast-food places don't even contact him. He panhandles to try and get money since according to the government he isn't poor enough to get assistance. He arrives home with his daughter to find that he has been evicted from his apartment.

Greg had recently reconnected with a former girlfriend. Jessica offered to let them stay at her apartment if he needed to. He arrived on her doorstep and accepted her generous offer. The first night there Angela complained of her head hurting. Greg rushed her to the hospital. A fall earlier in the day had caused a subdural hematoma. They would have to do surgery to relieve the pressure.

After surgery Angela slipped into a coma, leaving Greg to wonder what to do next.

This isn't a joyous story, but it one that will touch your heart in many different ways. It doesn't take long to read, but is well worth the time.
