Who's not Having Christmas Dinner this year? Financially Strapped.

Wow, this is more emotional than I thought it would be.

If I let this go much further, I will end up buying dozens of meals. I'm easy, what can I say.

I'm going to send three dinners out after I review the posts. So please check your GLP mailboxes in the next hour.

I'm getting to work right now.

Thank all of you for your wonderful responses and good hearts.

Keep up the holiday spirit no matter what. A lot of you are so strong.

Bare with me.

That is about right. You put money before my welfare.

Me! Me! Me!

'Confound it'

i'm eating my neighbors loud annoying pit bull stuffed with juniper berries harvested from the i-10 freeway and for desert i will milk some pigeons and churn churn churn some sweet butter for my biscuits made from wall paper (eggs) and paper mache (fiber) ...

if only i had a timez machine then the pigeons would be dinosaurs or something

do you have contact information OP?

an email address maybe?

i will add to your gift, if you'd allow it.

things are going very well for me & my family, we have been Blessed with abundance.

i love your idea and will donate a $50 visa gift card to whomever you choose as the recipient of your meal.

no strings attached, my only request is that I remain anonymous.


got to hurry though...time is short
:)

How black is the baby? I'm curious how Christian you really are.

Really black or a just sort of black?

OP!

Such a wonderful idea. If you get many people in need, I'm thinking they might rather PM you, please let me know as I will be happy to chip in with you.

:sweetseason:

People that are offended, have their self importance to blame for that. That's what Ive heard anyway. Does that offend you also? That's what i thought.

I hope at least as black as my computer screen is now after I spit coffee all over it. Damn you and your black humor.

Yes, I just picked three and could have easily given to three more. Just need to go through the thread and I'll let you deal directly. That is very generous and kind of you. You have a great big heart. Bare with me.

nevermind

I always wanted to do this also. But with so many bad people in this world ... your odds of taking in a thief with a knife is greater than inviting in a good person. So sad that is the world we live in now.

Wow, your the second person to step up to the plate! This is great. I'm trying to find the other people I noted. Please bare with me.

I wasn't offended. I just wondered why this amazing Christian felt the need to point out their charitable work and the fact that the bay was black.

BTW I'm a Christian not that I feel the need to tell anyone and I really respect what Pokerface is doing.

OP - can you send me an email address ... I can not do any PMs here since I'm not a paid member.

OP, if you have the ability to accept paypal, I would like to donate 3 more dinners to your cause.

You can message me anytime. No hurry.


:snowflakechristm:

I wanted to get too SALT. If you can work with her directly, that would be great. She seems to be having a bit of tight purse right now. She's a forum administrator and I'm sure she can figure out how to contact you. I really don't want my personal information out there. Or if anyone has any idea how we can do this, any suggestions would be great.

Unreal, I think I do have an account. I'm a little bit buried right this minute working on my thread. Can you hold on a bit? This is great!

Bless you OP. Very nice of you to make a fellow GLPer a little happier this Christmas.

To be honest OP, I would rather help raise 255. to spare this lady from going to payday loans.

Not fun to constantly be short-sheeted, or even to receive a gift to remind a person how desperate life is.

I do think a link to an email & to receive more relief from worry is a lot more helpful. :D

I have a person OP but I dont want to exploit this online.

Cancer victim, victim's usual job is helping those who are ill/elderly.

The persons parents are ill right now and usually would provide this for them but they are elderly and ill at this time. I dont think they can even help their family member right now due to being sick and the person/cancer victim had surgery this week. I am going to help out some but I cannot provide their meal-I know they do try to have yearly, this year not so sure. They all attend church every week if they are physically able to, one parent is blind.

They are some of the most decent people around actually but hard times fall upon all of us at times. If interested I will send you info somehow, let me know.

Wow! The generosity here is mind-blowing!

Amidst the doom and gloom, ufos and ETs, plots and conspiracies ... there is love and caring on this planet.

ok by me.

SALT...gimme your contact info...$50 gift card for you.

Yes I do. I'll send you an my email address.

You exactly described someone's situation here at my church also! Right down to every detail. Wow.

Just goes to show how many folks across the US are in trouble. And no - let's not start political bashing et al in this thread. =P

Things are rough here too, at least we still have the tree and ornaments to decorate, but there won't be anything resembling Christmas dinner.

LOL

Pardon me for asking, but aren't churches also hubs for helping out their community members?

I don't get it, unless people are 10 miles out from nearest town, every community I've ever known is a veritable beehive of willing helpers who are glad to do so.

What happened to local helping your neighbor and local organizations which are everywhere..I don't understand some of these stories. If the need is so miniscule especially.
