LIF HOLIDAY DONATIONS 2011

Hi All!

Last year, DBJ808 did a holiday dontaion thread for LIF families in need. We had a horrible year last year, and were one of the families in need. It would have been a "dollar store Christmas" but for the fact that so many people were so generous and wonderful, it made my kids' Christmas amazing.

We are much better this year, and I would like to step up to the plate and organize this, if there are families who are in need. And because it worked so well last year, I am cutting and pasting from last year's thread:

This is my proposal for those who would like to receive...
The families would be completely anonymous. If you would like to participate you can FM me directly and it would be done privately, discreetly, and names would NEVER be disclosed. I would need to know your child's age and size so appropriate gifts can be bought. You would need to be able to pick up the gifts for your child/children at my house (Lindenhurst). Once I know who is participating, I can post ONLY the age/gender/size of your child so appropriate gifts can be bought. Gifts will be unwrapped so you know what your child is getting and so I can distribute them properly.

To those who would like to donate...
who would like to participate? The gift can be as little or as much as you would like. The gift would need to be unwrapped and sent by December 9th.

More information will follow once I know who is interested in receiving and donating. I can only do this if people are willing to participate on both ends. The season is all about giving and although this is anonymous... what better way to celebrate the holidays then to make someone elses a little brighter!!! Thanks in advance!

I wanted to say publically that I think this is a wonderful idea that you're "paying it forward" being you were helped last year.

You've touched my heart & are showing the true meaning of the holiday season!Chat Icon

I'd love to donate, but would we be able to buy online and send it directly to your house? Getting to lindenhurst would be difficult.
