Thank you. Keep giving and changing lives

Mommytina started this conversation
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the Angles out there helping people that really need it. I have never been I'n this spot and never thought I would be. It's hard finding help when you need it and we all count on the compassion of strangers. I know there are some people that abuse things like this. But if you are wanting to help and are un sure of who to help, Thoes who really need it can prove it. They can show proof of disabilty or unemployment. So please keep giving and changing lives. The time you take to help one person can change their lives forever and then they are more willig to reach out to help someone else when they are able. Thats my plan. I normally am the one helping others. Not the one needing help so this is hard for me. We give everytime people ask and need it and I know it becomes tiresome and seems like it never ends but your compassion fuels everyone elses. Please keep that I'n mind when you are deciding who and of you are going to help. Thank you for all who have already helped someone this year. Next year I hope to be one of Thoes people. You really make a difference to many people.

 in response to Mommytina...   Tina there Is. Angel out there that will find you! It seems when you help people out then you become the one In need the help will come! I spent 5 days before Thanksgiving helping people In need. The day of Thanksgiving I had to scrap up change for the things I didn't get my self because I was to busy helping others I barley had enough for my self. It was kind of sad all I really wanted was pumkin pie with my Turkey but the thought of the family I help knowing they had food to eat made me feel a little better. I was still sad though all I really wanted was to spend the holidays with my family! I haven't got to fo that for some years Now that breaks my heart but they live to far to go visit! Tina just keep In mind the reason for the season an Love your family because they Love You! God Bless You Tina I hope you find a angel this year!

 in response to ChristmasHelp4oneFamily...   It's sad cause it makes it hard for Thoes of us that are truely I'n need. I'm on disabilty and can't work at all. I have sold everything I can to pay my bills but ran out of things to sell of mine. I have never been on welfare or used any progrmas. I don't qualify or they have no funds left to give. This is the first year of my life I have ever asked or needed help. The sad part is there are so many lazy people or druggies that don't want to spend money on their kids that the ones who really need help can't find it. It's very sad. Whenever I help people I don't give them cash. I'll get their account number for their power bill and pay it directly or send gifts and sometimes gift cards. Thoes I'n need will take anything as help and not be picky. This year for thanksgiving I had to choose between paying my rent I'n full or having food. No need for food if you have no house to cook I'n. The food banks I'n my area have very long lines now days and I physically can't stand for that long. It's no excuse. I'd do anything for my kids even if it made me suffer and have. The last time I put myself at risk I ended up I'n thr hospital cause I tore a part of my knee by standing I'n line tring to get some food for thanksgiving. I don't have anyone to watch my kids if I end up I'n the hospital so I can't risk my health like that. They need me. I'm sure you will find the perfect family to help. There are so many to go through I know. If you don't find one there is another group of people that are left out during the holidays and this is the first year I won't be doing this but wr would adopt grandparents. Most were no really grandparents but it sounds nicer then adopt an old loanley Person. I call nursing homes and find people that have no family or visitors and buy gifts and my kids would spend x mas delivering the gifts and visiting with the people. Last year we wee able to adopt 15 people. Each person Also received a hand made card addressed to each person and had a personal note that applied to them. I get info from the nursing Homes to make it more personal. It really feels good to give and those who have no one and can't or don't ask for things are the ones I love to help. It's sad to think they are alone all year but during the holidays makes it so much harder.

You are absolutly correct. Those that truely need help CAN prove it. Do you know how many of those I have met on this site?? ZERO! I have contacted over 60 people at this point. 2 have provided phone numbers. 1 was full of it. And I have not called the second yet. Sadly, this particular site seems to be full of lazy people that just want handouts. I'm waiting 2 more days to see if any person responds with sincerity, or i'm done. Pretty sad its this hard to just help someone.
