need some info on christmas charities

life777 started this conversation

Hello

I need to find out how to sign up for some kind of christmas charity. I checked on the net but it seems like I am going in circles. I am the proud mother of a boy who is five years old, and a girl who is fourteen, and for the past five or six years, our Christmas day consisted of being together and enjoying the day. Ive heard people talk about getting some presents for their kids, but i cant seem to find these charities. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I think my children have learned the lesson that Christmas isnt all about presents. And oddly enough have never complained to me about what other people get. We live very modest in a one bedroom and right now im trying to get my gas service connected again. Anyways, we have made it through tougher times and we will make it through again.  I think i should put my pride aside and show my children that being good does have its rewards..in what ever form it may come. If you have any suggestions you can e-mail me at survivinlife777@yahoo.com. Thank You,

Hello all I am with you, made me cry to read all the requests for help. I am a single mother of 5 myself and a grandchild that lives with his mothers grandmother not a good situation. I found the below online hope it helps. I am going to try it now.
If you're going through a rough time financially, rest assured that there are organizations donating their time and money to ensure your children don't feel deprived during the holiday season. The U.S. Marine Corps collects toy donations from generous citizens across the United States and distributes them to children in need, through a program called "Toys for Tots." If you would like to register so your children receive gifts, rest assured that signing up online is easy. Ensure that your children have a holiday they'll never forget. Just follow the steps listed below and learn about how you can register for Toys for Tots online.
1. Go to the website http://www.toysfortots.org/.
2. Click on the button entitled Request Toys, at the top of the screen.
3. Choose your state.
4. Choose your city. You will be redirected to a Toys for Tots website specific to your region.
5. Click on the button entitled Request Toys, found at the top of the screen.
6. Contact your area's coordinator by email. The website will list the names and contact information of coordinators in your area. It's recommended that you contact the coordinator located closest to you via email. Remember to include your name, phone number and address. In addition, list how many children you have, their gender and their age [source: Toys for Tots].

My doctor released me to work part time and that doesn't even pay half the bills this is the first Christmas I'm unable to provide for my girls. I haven't got them a single gift this year Ive been so sick and it hurts to work the part time hours I'm working now, I do not receive child support and my health insurance is being cut off I can't even see the doctor or get my meds. I need. But it's hurting my heart not to be able to give my girls a good Christmas with no money and no help If you know of anything that could help put smiles on my girls faces please let me know thank you.  Once again Thank you my email is ysassie23@msn.com

i am also i a smiler predicament i have been on comp for almost 12months without pay and here is what i have done.

my best advice for all who will listen is to contact your local salvation army they provide some clothing such as a winter jacket shoes and they have you make a wish list for your kids they also provide food baskets also any local churches in your area contact them they may be able to help or refer you to one that is helping families. i have been told to contact local fire depts they also some times help. best of luck too all.

if i find anything else i will be shour to post it my email is dlane_dml@yahoo.com

Hi my name is Juanita, I have two daughters who really believe in Santa. As through the yrs i;m not always able to give them the things they really want but do get something from my family. They know its better to give than recieve so they do their best in school.

I'm a single mom always looking for a job, just barely getting back to school. My oldest is 13 turning 14 soon and my youngest is 12 turning 13 soon too.

We dont have much in our 1 bdrm apt for i'm always tring to make it a home but still need some work.

They want their own bunkbeds and clothes as will as shoes, toys and a doll house, it's just really hard for me to tell them ok you'll get it this yr when i have no job. Rent is 3 mts past due as will as some bills but still we keep our heads up and stay strong as will as we have each other and our hamsters.

God has really helped us every month with some kind of help with food, I just wish christmas is really a christmas they will never forget. Pls if anyoe knows of any kind of charitys or food banks pls it would help a whole lot.

My email is juanitafrs@yahoo.com just write me and thank you for all our help, May god bless all our families as will as those in need. Love Juanita
