CALLING ALL SANTAS!

Ok, as some of you may have already read in another thread, one of our community members has found himself in a difficult situation.
Due to a long series of unfortunate events he is amoung other things, found himself unable to be the santa for his kids that he wishes he could be this year. He has 4 little ones who are facing the real possibility of waking up christmas morning to find that santa didnt come. For a child this is something impossible to understand, and something kids shouldnt have to deal with. It is supposed to be a time full of magic and wonder and of course...presents!
Now, I dont know him personally but he is a member of this community and a member of our greater community of caring people.
I dont know about you folks but I just cant sit by and not try to do something to help him put the magic back into the season for his little ones.

So, here is what I propose:

I dont think I know anyone who has a paypal account that doesnt have a dollar or two sitting in the bottom of it. It too little to spend, and too little to withdrawl. So, that got me to thinking that if we all take those few bucks and compile them we just might have enough to buy a few gifts. Some of the community can afford to send a little more than others and I hope you can find it in your hearts to step up and help make some kids happy on christmas morning.
I know I have a few bucks that would otherwise just sit in the account and I cant think of a better place to send it than to these kids.

Some of you may prefer to buya gift and mail it. We can work that out too. I have asked him to provide me with his kid's wish list so those who would rather shop and ship can get what the kids are asking santa for.

He also has a medical need for some med pot and I know some of you can help him with that to help ease his incredible physical pain and discomfort.
Once he has it set up I/he will post the paypal info and an email addy so you can write him regarding mailing gifts to him and his family. No need to post his address on the boards. We can keep that stuff private.

Some of you creative minds can surely come up with other suggestions to make the spirit of the holidays shine brighter in his home and I encourage you to post them here.

And btw...scrooges need not reply. Keep the negativity and spam away please. This just simply isnt the appropriate place for it.

So, fellow beautiful people from around the world...what do you think?
Is the spirit alive within you?

peace.

I hope youre emailing him then. :) :) :) :)

poopy

Sorry Funky Monkey. I could'nt resist.

-sighs- I really hate to say this but I mean bro has a computer and shit? I skimmed his post but it seems too..I don't coincidental? I personally don't have any money to donate (I have my own money issues) but I'd be careful donating a lot of money to him, even toys...I don't mean to sound like a bitch but this is the internet and no one knows him personally or anything.. Maybe someone can give him information on a place near him to get actual donations/food/presents, there's thousands of organizations to help out vs. asking a forum of potheads who almost all have some underlying (usually money) problem or another..

I did'nt want to post on this thread but what you said is bothering me. I'm not asking for help. My friend Funky Monkey wanted to do this for me. I having a hard enough time letting my pride go to accept the fact that my wife had to apply for food assistance through social services. I'd post up images of my accident report, Police report, late bills, my medical records. But what's the point? I just don't like being told by somebody that I'm not living through what I told you I am. I did'nt ask anyone to feel sorry for me or to help me. I just wanted to share what's going on in my life at the moment to get some things off of my chest. Please don't call me a liar again or imply I could be one. I understand your cautiousness but please don't give other people that impression of me because that is not what I am.

I see where you are coming from. I know places like that can provide some limited help.
And I can understand some skepticism but all I can say in reply is that I personally feel him to be sincere. In my heart, I feel him. And when it comes down to it sending a dollar or two is not going to break the bank. If I can buy a childs smile for a dollar...I cant say no to that deal. I have 2 paypal accounts each with less than 3$ sitting in it doing nothing. To me that $3 is money I will never access because it would cost me that much to withdrawl it. Itll sit there forever. I was thinking that if others with a similar balance just dumped it into an account for his kids it could amount to something to buy a present or two.
Its no risk really. Even if he was a crackhead on the other end of his puter fiending for a rock I dont care. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. Its the holiday season and thats what its all about. Giving, sharing, loving, and coming together as one huge universal family.
Im in for all I can spare. Things are REALLY tight for me right now, but not too tight I cant try to share at least something.
I dont expect everyone to pitch in but imagine the impact if everyone gave $1 ! ( btw hes not the one asking for the help...I did this on his childrens behalf after his story touched me )
Peace.

how about we send him weed. he can sell it and make the money he needs, or he can just give it to his kids for christmas.

Last year the 1st of december i got fired from my taxi job. with less then a month to go till christmass. at the time i was engaged, she had a child from a previous relationship, i was all excited cause it was her kid's first real christmass (she was 2). after i got canned my hopes went out the window, no money for food or presents. My girl started yelling at me calling me useless and right before christmass she dumped me. so i spent chrismass day drunk out of my mind in an apartment i was 3 weeks late on rent for. i know your pain, times will get better, if i can i will help. later guys

Yeah I'm walking all over the place looking for a new job since my current one won't let me return. And as for the internet service it's comes with my bell south phone service which they heven't turned off yet. But I'm not here to argue with you. Just wanted to explain friend.

Once again, he is not the one who came on here asking for anything. He posted his story to give some insight into his state of mind and to share with people who care.Thats it.
I read it, felt the desire to do something to try to help out a fellow human in need and took it upon myself to make this thread.
Its a bump in the road that others are able to help him over if they feel it within themselves to do so.
I dont expect this to appeal to everyone but some of us cant look the other way, and are trying to make a small difference in someone elses holiday however we can.
It doesnt matter to me that I dont know him.
If he were a single man I might be more apt to say " I feel for you but tough it out" but , its all about the kids man, all about the kids.

I respect your opinion, please dont feel Im attacking it...just trying to give a little more info to balance it out thats all.

Cheers!

I really wish I could go back to my old job but they won't let me for insurance reasons (Sounds like their covering their asses to me) so I've been trying to find a new job and not tell them about my head injuries. I miss working and it's driving me crazy sitting in this house all everyday. Where I happen to live jobs are not as easy to find as I had hoped. Guess I got lucky finding the one I lost due to the accident. Thank you all for your contiuned caring.

Good evening beautiful people, just bumping the thread :)
cheers!

You know online is not the best way to ask for this stuff, for instance you know all those chain letter that say theres a dying kid somewhere and he needs you to donate like $1 or whatever, those are fucking scams...I mean I've gotten the same one like 4 times at least 6 months apart and it says the kid will die in 6 weeks without a kidney....well he must be dead already then so why am I still being asked to donate munnah? Because most things like this are scams.


If you really need help then local organizations in your town are ALWAYS happy to help believe me!!!

Hey trichome :D :D :D Hows things for yah? :) I hope i can help, you never replied to me.........i want to help you. :) I can send yah some money or some "tomatoes" :dance:

You know that was bound to happen Funky Monkey.:(

Oh and thank you again Monkey for the offer you gave me via e-mail. I forgot what it's like not to have a headache. Also to the other couple who have sent e-mail's of concern for my family thank you all as well. It's a nice feeling knowing there are still people like you out there.

Yeah, part of me did but the other part of me wonders where the faith went in people. What happened to the fundamental reality that we are all brethren and should treat each other as such?
Its depressing to see that people can be jaded so easily.
I refuse to live in that world. I like mine better :)

Anyhow, how are ya tonight bro?
