I just got the OK from Mary to go ahead and start our annual Christmas help thread. It worked well last year the way we did it and will follow the same procedure this year.
If you are having a tough time making ends meet for WHATEVER reason, and need a little help making Christmas a nice time for your kids and or spouse. Shoot me a PM. Your request will be kept confidential. Myself and your secret santa are the only people that will know that you asked for some help.
Conversely, if you are having a good year, and are in position to help a family in need, shoot me a PM.
The way it works is like this. I don't and won't handle any funds. I will line up donors with those in need. The donor will purchase and mail gift cards in whatever amount they are comfortable with directly to the person making the request for help.
There were a couple of hiccups last year in that there were more potential donors than families in need. Some of those donors were never lined up with a recipient family. If the numbers don't equal out this year I will line up multiple donors for a recipient. Please be patient with me. I am by no means a "Professional" at running something like this.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them. And thank you in advance for your participation!
