Hello, i would love to help, the best thing for you to do and the best gift i could possibly give to you or anyone is the gift of knoweldge rather then cash or toys! i suggest you try and get connected with your local salvation army,welfare and even the childrens aid! i know when i mention the CAS you may think no way they may try to get me in trouble or stay in my life asking harassing questions! but the truth is if you just tell the truth that your having a tough time with christmas this year, most of the time they will be happy to help you by providing gifts,clothes,and/or will help direct you to the right place who can help with specific needs!i.e.. salvation army,welfare and/or any other simalar local services whos main goal is to help people in need and famillys with food,gifts,clothes(sometime brand new with the tags!) and if you qualify they might even be able to help pay some or most of your bills! thats whats so great about the salvation army especially! they can even provide ongoing councilling to you and your children if you wanted it! aswell some salvation army centers offer special groups or classes which offer sports and/or arts and crafts for kids in a simalar age group! with the same type of problems as you so you dont have to worry about your kids being made fun of or singled out! and all the parents are in the same situation to! but you dont have to socialize with anyone if you chose not to! nor do the kids have to play any sports or games either! those are just a few added bouneses at the salvation army that im aware of anyway, on top of the gifts,food,clothes, and councilling! all free of charge of course! its a great place to start to get help with almost anything! and if they cant help you there they will know someone or somewear close to them that can! and remember if you are in serious need and need help paying bills, they can sometime help pay with a direct cheque to the specific company(thats so someone cant take the money and spend it elesware!only on the bill its intended for! i guess they had problems handing out regular cheques because people would cash them and not pay the bills!) and with welfare as im sure you know they can provide lots of different services such as monthly allowences based on the number of kids living with you and the price of your rent etc.... im sure you may already know about them a little! but even if you not on welfare currently you could contact them and tell them you current situation and they may be able to issue a emergency cheque for any thing between $100 and $500, again depending on your individual situation such as how many kids there age, your monthly expenses, and so on...those are just estimates im not %100 sure if they even offer those sevices in your area, everyware is different! but they will always be able to guide you in the right direction depending on your needs and the seriousness of your case! so i would deffinitly check out those three places and im sure there are plenty more emergency type crisis services some specificly for just christmas actually where others are for year round help and councilling if you want! any how if you call any of those three services im almost %100 sure they can direct you to all of these type of emergencies type services weather for just gifts or food,clothing,shelter,and help paying bills and one on one free councilling! which i think is great! trust me i know how it is ive been there and still have a hard time! i didnt have nothing handed to me on a silver platter like some people who talk about these type of things but really they are ignorant about the real situation and never lived it they just have limited text book knowledge so to speak such as some polititions and some govenment who watch it on the t.v. or read about poverty in high end collages that mommy and daddy paid for them to attend! and then run around city to city trying to preach about things they actually no next to nothing about! thoses types of people in general really brother me! they act as if they understand what its like being a child or parent and not being able to have a decent christmas when really the only problem or hardships there mom or dad ever had when they were kids was weather to get mommy the gold diamond ring or maybe the platium two tone diamond ring? i know how hard that must of been on them as a child! lol, you know wat i mean,any way i just want you to know that this is coming from someone who has been there as a child and now still strugles as a single father! so please know im giving you advice from experience using some of these services and that there is help if you really look and they really do actually provide decent gifits and sometime brand new clothes with the tag intact)this type of stuff is mainly provided by the salvation army) but there are various other places out there devoted to helping parents or anyone for that matter with any type of help you need year round!like i said if you get in contact with even just one of these great places over the phone,net, or in person they will be able to get you help, and get you connected with any and every avaiible service in you area!so call,or visit one of these places either over the net or in person! www.salvationarmy.com www.socialservices.com or the www.childrenaidssociety.com i suggest you check out the salvation army first they will most likly be able to help you with any or every thing you need! and if not they will definitly be able to guide you to the right place to help. plus they will have the numbers for the other two places and any services like them! oh any remember they offer special services like games for kids or arts and crafts for different age groups! and councilling for parents and children! they are the most complete service in my opioion for food,clothing,toys,gifts,sports groups,and many other groups and services so check them out for sure and let me know what you think and what type of help they give you!
Good luck with everything, i hope you have a great christmas this year
how everything went year and the years to come! just make sure you get back to me for more information and to let how it all went!
Bye.
Hello everyone whos in need this year! i understand fully what your going through as i have been there! not only now as a new father but also when i was a child it was tough! i really hope you all find help and peace this year! but please when you do find a company or somone/somthing simalar to help, please have all doucumentation and througho proof to provide about your desprite situation upon request, many if not all of these companys and independent good people will requrie some proof and doucumentation about how serious and in need you really are!!! i know its hard to believe but there are people who in my opioion are very "sick" and "evil"!! they come on to sites such as this looking for good harted people to give money and gifts when really they are actually doing fine! they are trying to "steal" and decieve who ever they can to take free money and/or gifts for there own use! even if they may not be rich so to speak some people who ask for things dont really need it they could be fine on there own but they are greedy and decitful trying to "rob" and use good honest kind hearted people for there own benifits! i know its hard to believe that there could be such sick evil mothers and fathers, men, and women who lie about the sevarity or actuall neededy ness of there situation only to gain and take what ever they can get there hands on! but it happends alot more then you may think! i now voullinteer at the salvation army(where by the way any body whos in need for anything should visit especially during christmas! they will help with gifts for kids and food!)but you will need to have proof that your in need and not "abusing" so to speak there great frindly orginasation! to recieve gifts! this proof could be very simple such as a "social assitance stattment" also known as "welfare" statment just stating your monthly income and other things such as this!i.e.. eletric bills, other bills with some form of id for you and your children! but other then that i would incourage everyone who is in need to get in touch with the local salvation army in your neighbourhood they helped me and many of my friends give there children a happy plentyful christmas! so if your a mother or father in need this yera check out the local salvation army and please try to avoid asking for cash from strangers on these types of sites not because all of you are theifs but its a sad common fact that out of every 8 request for cash/gifts from independent people i.e.. a good hearted man/women, whos not connected with a falculty such as or close to the salvation army out of every 8 request from people, more then likly 1 or 2 of those 8 people are frauds who may not even have children at all or maybe they have children but really arent in the desprite need that they make it out to sound like! please if your thinking of sending money to a family stating there in desprite need DO NOT, ever just send money to any one no matter what there story is! if there asking for money rather then food, or help centers in there area it most likly is a scam!please actually NEVER EVER send money to ANYONE regardless of there situation as they may "claim" it to be so bad, the truth is you just dont know who is asking for that money from there computer? especially if anyone says please send money through paypal or another simalar direct money transfer system! if they are in serious need of help please refer them to a local emergency help center, or welfare center! there honestly is no reason for ANYONE to be asking for cash on the interenet regardless of there situation! if they are in such desprite need for= food,gifts or money for bills, they can call a local salvation army, welfare and or simalar office whos goal is to help people who may be facing eviction, lights getting turned out, no food,no gifts, there is always a center to help familys with children regardless of there childs age or health! there is always more then enough adaquite help for people who are less fortinate! there is NO NEED for anyone (mothers,fathers,caregivers,etc....) to be asking tottal strangers for "cash" or really even "gifts" if you need these things such as cash and or gifts, help paying bills please dont ask people to deposit money into your bank account or paypal account without even meeting with and or providing valid proof that you are in real need this just leaves to much chance for fraud and what i call "evil" "selfish" people who have ruined the chance for honest good trust worthy people to recieve the help they need to lie and decieve people into depositing money into there account for there own lavish spending needs! so again NEVER EVER no matter what the fancy sad story may be weather true or false send money to familys or people in need on the net the best most helpful thing you could do to help is maybe if you have determined they are %100 honest and have provided enough proof that they are in serious need maybe send a non refunable food card i.e (food gift card) that can not be changed for cash! or send second hand clothes, or toys you are no longer using to them aswell if you are in there area you could drop of caned food and/or other food items! and the other most helpful thing anyone can do for someone in need is help direct them to a emergincy help center such as welfare,salvation army, and/or any service simalar to these which only goal is to help provide food,clothes,gifts and not only this they offer life building skills and money management, counciling and other skills on a ongoing basis to try and prevent this from happening to them in the future! dont you think giving the skills and education to change, would be much more effective then "bandageing the problem for a short while, only to have the same familly in need the years to come!" by giving money and new toys is fine but wont help them to learn life skills, or get full one on one or familly counciling and build a long lasting relationship with a counciller who can always help any time of the year weather it be help paying bills, food,getting gifts for christmas! or even just someone to talk to when you need a helping hand and someone to listen maybe give advice! think of it the best most responsible thing you could do to help would be to direct them to a center that could provide help now and for the years to come! in much more ways then just giving money or toys! think about it always say to someone in need the best thing i can do for you and your family is not give you money and toys but help you get in touch with a counciller, who can help you with ANY problem you may have weather it be financial, emotional, and or physical! so again NEVER EVER GIVE money or toys over the internet, instead give the gift of life or maybe a non refundable food voucher for a grocerystore, some toys your children dont use anymore or if you live in the same area you can meet with that particular familiy and bring food to there house such as caned food and/or frozen, fresh meat and vegitibles!and judge using your own descretion weather they are in real need of fianancial help! but other then these great tips please do not EVER, EVER, give money, and or brand new toys only give toys if you are %100 sure they are in need, such as if you live in the area you could meet with them or something along those lines!and see, but PLEASE DONT EVER SEND MONEY NO MATTER WHAT THE STORY IS OVER THE NET, there are just to many theifes looking for a quick buck and some will go very far with elabrite sad, sad stories "schemes"such as death in the family, bad health of themself or baby, no home to live in,handicaped children! the list goes on and on as im sure you could imagine, they will say whatever they can think of that may make an honest hard working man/women feel sorry or sad and give as much as they can to get what ever they can such as cash, brand new toys, and things along those lines! if someone is in desprite need for help they will be more then greatful for some advice,food, and or used toys! if you offer something such as food voucher,used toys, and or advice but they say or make a story about how they need cash only DO NOT go with it! if they arent more then excited with a donation of a non refunable food voutcher, used gift, and or valuble advice of where to go for great help then you no they arent in as bad a state as they are claming! just use common sense when helping others! its really sad but in the world we live in today its hard to trust! especially when it comes to giving money to stranges or new gifts! you just dont know anymore!give them the best gift this holiyday season! the gift of knowledge! tell them to visit there local salvation army, and or welfare office to get all the help and more then they need! not to mention all free and helpful counciling and direction! and god bless all you mother and fathers who are truly in a hard spot this year! i hope you go to a salvation army, welfare office or call your local operator and ask for the type of help your looking for theres always help out there if you look! more then just asking for money or new toys! im sure you will agree if your in real need anything someone can offer will be greatly excepted i.e... food vouchers,new/used toys,food in general, and or advice or help to find local offices to help with christmas and/or any other help weather it be in the winter or summer, you have no childre or 8 it doesnt matter theres always help out there! please refrane from asking for "cash" be deposited in to a bank or paypal account! theres just to many scammers out there and because of this people should never ever send any amount of money to anyone for anything regardless of there story! true or other wise! and remember ive been there and still use those sevices myself! im not one of those ignorant people who had every thing handed to them on a sliver platter and now im trying to talk about a situation i no nothing about from personall experence, such as those many polititions and govenment who talk about things they really dont understand or have never been through it themselfs! thats much easier to talk about and make descions about things based on loose knowledge! where as i have been right where you are and know excatilly first hand how it feels and the negitive stigma attached along with going through those hard stressful times! especially the holliday seasons!! Thanks again guys for listing and understanding that although there are a lot of true honest, familiys in desprite need theres just as many people who are doing it for the money when in fact there really are doing more then fine all by them self!
