I don't think she was asking you to donate anything to her, was inquiring as to what organizations are out there that she could contact. :shrug:

Do you have ANY idea how expensive it is to be a single mom that WORKS full time?
First thing out of you paycheck is DAY CARE and it is not cheap.
Then rent, utilities, insurance, food, cloths for a growing 4 year old.. and maybe have a bit to put away..
But oh..the price of gas just went up.AGAIN..and you need to pull more out of your paycheck.
Perhaps this single mom is on her own, no child support or freebies from the state like some othere here on the list.
And all she asked for was WHERE to go for some help for her SON...not for her, and she HAS been buying a few things when the budget allowed.
Maybe you are rich and have it made where you dont ever need help..but when the time comes that you do, I hope people are nicer to you than you have been to people here.
Christmas..the celebration of the BIRTH of CHRIST...who's parents could NOT afford a hotel room...and the mom had to give birth in a barn...Sound like poor people to me...and could have used some charity, just like this mom is asking for.
Instead of buying stuff you really don't need for Christmas, how about stepping out of your golden castle and donate that $$$ to charity?

Ignore those type of posts. How old is your son. Pm with details of what he likes.

WOW! How mean can you get? Tis the season for kindness and giving. If you are normally that nasty, why not make a change? Here's some desperately needed hugs for you.

It's a Jeep thang!
I can relate to your feelings. I have been scammed before in the past. Could she have prepped better, yes. Could she has saved through the year, yes. But it sounds like she is struggling to make ends meet, goes from payday to payday, etc. I know what that is like, been there, done that. As a single parent, sometimes you get all consumed with living day to day and not able to "look into the future'. Crap, as old as I am, I still get that way from time to time. It is just life.
The simple fact is, she asked for organiztional help, not handouts. It is us, the kind people that began to offer her things.
No matter how irratating it may get because of today's society, I try to remember the spirit of Christmas is about family, friends, peace, love and goodwill. It is not about presents or gifts although kids never seem to see it that way. It is a special holiday, so I just let my irration go into "standby" mode for a time. Come Jan 2nd, it is back to grumpy old me.....lol
Have a Merry Christmas!

Christmas time brings out the best and unfortunately the worst in people.... Last year 3 days before Christmas my aunt took all her childrens presents to the mall to have the girl scouts wrap them for her, when they finished she put them in black trash bags and carried them out to her van... from the mall she went to Giant to grab some milk and a few other things when she came back out to her car someone had stolen all her presents from her car

yeah yeah
It really baffles me. We dont have alot of 'change' either, but I would rather give than get. And if it makes someone else's christmas better.. then so be it! 
What does he like? I would like to help too. I love to buy clothes for boys (as I have a girl). Let me know his sizes.
PM Me and let me know.

It has been hard on many people. That is why it is so important to pull together and help each other out when we can.

Then get out of yourself and you lousy, mean mood and go do something for someone else..It is amazing how it feels to GIVE when not asked....
Go get off your pitty pot, stop feeling sorry for yourself and go find ANYTHING to be grateful for....and the Christmas sprite will fill your heart..
