*2015 HOLIDAY DONATION THREAD*
Hi All!
Five years ago, we had a financial situation where we were on the verge of losing our house, were using a food pantry for groceries, and definitely could not afford Christmas for our children. It would have been a "dollar store Christmas" but for the incredible people of LIF. Through the holiday donation drive run by DBJ808, we were able to have an amazing Christmas for our children. When she could no longer do it, I stepped in to take it over. Over the course of the last 4 years, we have been able to make the holidays bright for over 55 children.
This year, I am blessed to be able to run this program again. Here is how it will work:
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, and specifically what they would like for the holidays, so appropriate gifts can be bought. You would need to be able to pick up the gifts for your child/children at my home in Babylon the week of December 14th. Once I know who is participating, I can post ONLY the age/gender/size/wishes 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 GIVE:
As soon as I have children signed up to receive, I will be creating a thread detailing who is buying what for which child. We were able to keep it extremely organized last year. The gift can be as little or as much as you would like. The gift would need to be unwrapped and I need to have them in hand by December 11. Gift cards are totally acceptable, and even preferable in some instances.
*** IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING BUT IS NOT ON LIF, PLEASE FM ME ***
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 else's a little brighter!!! Thanks in advance!

Can we get this pinned to the top so it doesn't get lost on the shuffle? It's now a lifamilies.com tradition.

I'm going to have them take this post down tomorrow when I put the lists up, so I will ask that the post with the lists be pinned.
