I remember the orginal Secret Santa who revealed himself and passed on few years back. Another person took over his role and wanted to share what happened on 12/14/10 in Kanas City, Missouri. He spread a lot of joy that day.

We are the proud parents of a set of twin boys, Havoc & Soren.  I am a stay at home mom until the boys reach pre-K age because we did the math and my job skills would only earn me a job that would pay the prohibitive cost of childcare and nothing more.  It is better developmentally if I just stay at home with them until they start school.  This however, puts a large burden on Daddy to meet our living expenses (rent, bills, food, clothes, etc.).  We are able to provide all this, barely, and overall the boyos are very happy little guys.  Our problem this year is that their birthday is November 1st, and they will be turning 2 years old.  We will be able to get them a few things for their birthday but it's at the expense of thier christmas which sucks to say the least. 

The local assistance programs are either full or applications have been closed.  We were able to get in touch w/ Toys 4 Tots who, thankfully, will be able to get them one toy each this year.  If there is a charitable individual out there willing to help suppliment our boys' Christmas, any assistance would be welcomed.  Here is a list of a few things I would like to get for them:

Couple of Sleepers each - sized 3T,  Heavy Duty warm socks - they wear toddler 8/9 shoes, large set of Duplo blocks or a couple of Duplo block play sets, and any type of Vtech/LeapFrog learning toys.

Our family is big about Karma and "paying it forward".  Everything the boyos have outgrown age wise or physically we give to others in need using sites like FreeCycle and Craigslist.  We are hoping our efforts will be rewarded in the form of Christmas assistance this year.  Thanks for taking the time to read our post and God Bless!

I found this link for anyone in the USA that would like to hook up with an organization that helps with Christmas toys for kids.

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.

Good Morning,

I am in hopes that someone can help or knows where I can obtain help with christmas and or Rent in order that I can get christmas. My husband has been hurt at work and cannot work his L & I checks are now coming in but only help us scrap by. I work full time and as many hours as I can. I have posted ads for extra work and am looking for a second job , but until then I really dont want my children not to have a christmas. I have 4 girls 17,16,15 and 6. I feel so bad to be here in this state especially when we have always helped others and this year we can not even do that.

Thank you in advance,

Tresea

I sell realestate and i live in mi. I started selling realestate because a physical injury costed me my job at the postoffice( i had to take a medical retirement) I can't work 8hrs anywhere stand long or even sit a long time so real estate became my income. I have a young child who i share join legal and physical custody with her dad so he isn't required to pay child support. i recieve a monthly annunity (the gov't didnt collect social security so i don't qualify for ssi, or ssd or ss incomes). My car broke down and the tags and insurance for expired so i can't get my child to elementary school on my weeks without the help of my sister sharing her car (until she finds a job requiring her to be at work 8am). my annunity just covers my rent now that real estate has taken a dive. and i'm 1,000 a month short on covering my bills (which doesn't include any credit cards i have no creditcards)and 1,000 needed for insurance and tags on the car i need fixed, 1500 to fix it. so if anyone has a runing car that want to give away, and would like to adopt me and my daughter finanancially until the real estate market come back. I'm write you a promissory note to pay it all back and will also put up my non running bmw as a gurantee.
