Hello Everyone,
I am keeping busy with my new mission, and have invited friends to come on here and help. I want to try to get help for as many families as I can. People wake up! You have something to give. This website is about helping each other. Nothing feels better than giving, well recieving does feel pretty good...but giving of yourself is the best gift that you can give. It does not have to just be on here, though that is why we are here. See if you have an elderly neighbor that you could do something for this holiday season. Maybe even a relative. Shovel a walk way, take over a warm meal, do an errand. I also am putting out another shout out for help with shipping costs for the boxes I am sending out to families on here. Please, Please, help! I had no idea how much postage was going to cost until I took packages to the post office yesterday.
I will need help to get the rest of these gift boxes off. Donate 5, 10, 20 bucks whatever you can afford. One box costed 34.89 to send. I am not even in the middleclass income bracket, so I need help to get what I have to others. I have asked those that I sent to to please post when they get their package, to post so you all know I am doing what I say I am. I know their are scams all over so I do understand the reluctance to donate money to me for this cause. I do swear though, that the money is for this cause. Every little bit will help, I know most boxes will cost less than 34.00, but the point is that I have several boxes to send out with toys, clothes etc... and not enough funds. If you can give please do.
We are all here to give help and recieve help. Nobody should feel ashamed to ask for help, because that is something that we all have to do in life. There is no shame in asking for a helping hand. I have seen some of you post that. We were put on this earth to help each other, that is why we all have different talents and skills. We all need to get involved and do what we can. I have asked for help when I needed it, and I give help when I can, that is how it is supposed to work.
I know there are some who do not celibrate Christmas, and that is okay, but if you have something to share or give, it should not matter the reason, the need is the focus. It is the need of the kids, the parents, and everyone else that is the focus. I love Christmas, and I know it is not all about gifts, but that is how we celibrate it. Kids expect Santa to come and bring them presents, those of you with kids know what I mean.
I know that not everyone on this website is not here for a need, and I know many give. I want to Thank all of those that are helping these families, and it should continue all year long. There are birthdays, and families that need clothes, or just a bill paid. We can all pitch in to help each other. This is why I was drawn to this page.
Merry Christmas!!
Lisa
