| Post subject: | olosos: No way to help with Christmas |
| How do you handle...or where do you go to get help for someone at Christmas time?I pastor a small church...which I'm sure you know means limited funds available. We have a couple who is needing help with Christmas for their child....who is a 13 yr old. They both work...have their own home...older son in college... Pay tithes...attend church...live right.Even with both working they don't have much left after bills. I need help finding some help for them. All of the local charities either are at their limits, or the parents don't qualify because of income....or because the child is 13....(can get help if he was 12). |

| If you can come up with some idea of what to do for them that would be fitting and wise, why not do so, then tell us so that we can contribute?Some dear friends on this site have been so generous and kind as to send checks to our church as a way of joining in faith with what God was doing. How I love them!Why not come up with what you think would work...and then let us know how we can support it? |

| That would be great if it would happen....but this is a small church that is blessed when if we have 20 on Sunday morning....part that is the family in need. My wife and I have 3 children of our own...we will do what we can but not sure what we can do...Some one asked about what a 13 year old would want...when they came to me last week I asked....The mom gave me a list of what he gave her...and this is the order they were listed on his list...lol:Penan swirlsCheese puffsMoneyGift cardsApple headphonesClothes - I'll have to check on size although I know he is on the smaller size.Xbox One video games |

| If five people gave five bucks, you could get him a gift card. If ten people gave five bucks, you could get him a real nice gift card and too many bags of cheese puffs to carry. |

| First....thanks for the help and ideas....Someone asked or mentioned about messaged asking amount that was needed to help the family. I really don't know how to answer except that any amount would help. So far $ 75 has been put in the mail....that will help a lot....thanks so much. ISome has also asked about sizes. Here is what the mother has told me:Pants 12 slimsShirts 10 - 12Shoe youth 7 |
