Toys for Christmas?

Hi, I have been keeping my bills paid up to date but that leaves a big nothing left to buy Christmas gifts for my 10 year old grand daughter. If some one could help me out with a gift card for a toy store or a food market it could make things so much brighter for her. In the last 4 years she has lost her mom, her pop pop ,her great grand pop and her great grand mom. She is such a sweet and loving little girl. Please help me at least give her a Merry Christmas.A few dolls, games and cookies would mean so much

Christmas toys and second hand clothes

Holidays is almost here again...and its just sad for me and my family that we can afford to buy my daughter a toy at all. My daughter makes her pretend present for her to put in our plastic christmas tree. But i mention to her, that this year is the hard one for me, coz Im still unemployed for almost 6 months and her dad just finish his school and he only works part time but mostly the money goes to rent and bills. We recycled cans for extra cash to buy stuff for her and sell her old clothes for extra cash. I hope there is someone out here in covina, ca who can help me in my situation. Where can i get a toy for her this christmas, she dont mind second hand toys or clothes at all. She wear the same clothes since last wear and they are getting small now and wearing the same shoes since last year. Becoz i can afford to get her one. Thank you. And god bless u all.

It's called SECRET SANTA...just type in your zip code and it will pull up any local agencies that could help you out.

Wishing you all the best luck with it.

Happy Holidays and thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

I am posting on behalf of a very close friend and her family. She is currently on Unemployment and her and her fiancees kids divide their time between both parents. They were also blessed to find out they are expecting their first child together.they will both have their children this year and since they dont live with them "full time" they cant get any assistance. Her fiancee moved here approx 2-3months ago and began work within a week. they only make about 2400 a month and due to a total of 2 adults  and 6 kids and many different times had to rent a larger home to accomodate everyon and pay 800 in rent alone. plus utilities and food and life expenses. They struggle every month and to see the anguish as they try to figure out cost of transportation to go to NE Ohio to get her 2 lovely kids and Chicago to get his 3 as well as return trips , food and the holiday itself is unbearable.  I wish my family was more well off as I would help them in a heartbeat. these are people that would give the shirt off their backs and last piece of bread to someone in need. She has been a caregiver to an alzheimers patient that couldnt afford one at no cost to him.

Please, if you can help this family in any way give their children a christmas that they wont have as they will barely get by making sure they remain fed, dont hesitate. I believe inKarma and this family sure has put out plenty of good karma. They have donated and adopted families many christmases when they could. Even taken in a homeless family to spend the holiday with them on their own. you dont find peopl like this anymore and they finally deserve to get back for once. They wont ever ask or beg, and if you dont help they will get by Im sure. However, the kids will barely have a stocking to speak of and if they are lucky  agift from a dollar store so they can open something christmas morning. They deserve so much more. The kids are a boy (just turned 18 and a senior) a boy -15 a girl - 13 a girl - 9 a girl -8 aand a boy 7. She also has a 20 yr old daughter and a 3 yr old grandson.

Feel free to email me I can pick up ANY toy, clothing and food donations. Thank you for carign and to God be the Glory.

hello my name is Jason I have a wife and two children Kristhoper 6 and Natasha 4. I recently became disabled because of lower back problems. I had surgery in 2001 it really did`nt help every two years it acts up i get cortizone injections and it would go away for awhile.But this time my luck ran out and it did`nt go away with the injections.The pain went down my leg and into my foot now it`s painful to walk or sit. The doctor`s said I was going to be disabled for the rest of my life. So i signed up for disabilty but that could take 3 to 6 months. I`m used to working 10 to 12 hours a day plus work at home and play with the kids. Now I`m lucky if i can play with my kids. My wife works two jobs but her hours were cut back Even when she was working her normal hours we can`t afford all the monthly bills on just her income so now were 3 months behind on the house payment and all the monthly bills. I can`t afford to buy anything for my kids for christmas. And it makes me cry every time they say they want this or that for christmas and in the back of my mind I know I can`t afford to buy them anything. So i`m asking for help this year for christmas anything will and be greatly appreciated. I just want to see a smile on my kids faces christmas morning not tears. My address is 355 pearl street Berwick PA. 18603. My phone number is (570) 752-1824.  Thanks for reading eveen if you can not help.
