OXON HILL, Md., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder lent a helping hand in the form of $10,000 to a struggling Maryland family on Christmas after their Craigslist plea went viral.
"I am a mother of six, 5 boys and 1 baby girl... I'm so hurt," Tyshika Britten wrote on Craigslist asking for help as her family faced eviction with no money for Christmas gifts. "I'm trying my best. I pray everyday and now I'm begging for help. I know it's not about the gifts, but they are kids! I'm such a failure right now . . . please help me."
