No money for Christmas.

single mom3 started this conversation

I am a single mother, struggling to not make it but kids (especially my 3 year old son) has no idea. I don't want him to miss out this year just because I can't afford to buy him anything. I am typing and searching the internet for anyplace that might help to provide a Holiday Wish for a child that otherwise won't have one.

MY FRIEND HAS TWINS AND THEIR BIRTHDAY IS AROUND THE CORNER, THEY HAVE NO MONEY NOR WAY TO HAVE A PARTY THEM. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T GOT THE FUNDS EITHER. I JUST HAD SPINE SURGERY, LUNG MASS REMOVED AMONG OTHER THINGS PLEASE HELP ME HELP THEM. THE BOY AND GIRL ARE GREAT AND IT WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ALL OF THEM.

You can check out Craigslist.org. They have a FREE link under the For Sale section. Every once in awhile you can find toys and clothes and other neat things all for free.

Check it out.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

 in response to gabby123...   Hi! I´m so sorry about your situation. Mi family doesn´t have any money to buy christmas gifts either, but we´ve decided to do something different. Christmas can be so much fun even without money! Decorate the house with handmade decorations. Pine cone ornaments, paper snowflakes, aluminium ornaments... your imagination is the limit. You can also make homemade christmas cards. Make all your family participate, it can be a great family time together!
Instead of buying gifts, make everyone work on a special homade project to give to someone else. You can make homemade dolls for your brothers and syster, teach your brothers to make paper planes. You´ll find many ideas in the internet. Also you can spend family time together cooking something special and teaching your brother´s and systers. Christmas is all about having fun with the family and not about buying expensive gifts. Play board games, sing songs, make a song or a poem to your mom telling her not to worry about gifts.
Merry Christmas and good luck!
Love

well i am not single, but my fiance works to support me him and our two young kids, 1 and 4. Christmas is not about the presents, my kids are hardly getting anything, if anything, we dont have any money for presents either, but it should be about that, and all you people sayin you need money to buy your kids stuff for christmas, need to get a life, no offense, but seems you all forgot what its supposed be about. Its not about the material shit you give them, its about being with your family, and realizing your lucky to be with them. Share time with them, not stuff. Think about what your teaching your kids by wanting nothing but money from other people. Its wrong, like i said my kids are getting nothing for christmas, but thats ok, they may not understand now, but later they will. At least i get to spend christmas with them and our family, thats what matters
