Santa helpers and kids sign up for Christmas help

[DAVESBABYDOLL]

Rules for kids gift help.

Sign ups only until Nov.30th

1.The child/children must be those of a BBS MEMBER,who are in good standing.

2.We are not going to accept new members who join this month,it is too hard to know if there is a true need,we apologize for this inconvenience.

3.When PMing info,please include a little info as to why you need this help,names,ages and sex of children.We will not ask for proof of income (we feel this is not our right to ask,besides by law probably a no-no) so it will be strictly on the honor system.

4.We can not guarantee all kids will be helped,but we will try our hardest.It will also depend on how many Santa's helpers we will have.

5. This will be confidential,ALL who sign up for help will be kept private,only organizers and your helper will know.

6.pm me if you would like to sign you child/chilred up


For those who want to help.

1.Please pm shellysms, how many kids you would like to send a gift for.

2.You may also remain anonymous if you wish.

3.DC# are a must,shipped out no later than DEC. 7th

4.The spending limit will be up to you.

5.If you sign up and do not follow through,we will have no choice but to report you to the bad traders list.

shellysms and I are organizing this,after all sign ups,she and I will get together and match helpers with children.If we have guestions one of us will pm you.

ok..my thoughts now. :) I really hope that we can make this a fun and memorable christmas for some of our "own" kids from BBS. Some of the swaps that we've had..people don't follow thru and someone gets hurt or mad. Let's let the spirit of Christmas...Really, really bring a smile to a childs face. I know that to me...the smiles on my kid's face on christmas morning..makes me so incredibly happy. Let's do that for some kids that really need our help. I think we can really make this work. We have some great people here...and I'm sure alot of people would really like to help. Just dont' think about this...Let's do it!!! I dont' want to sound like a commercial..I just really want to make this work. AND I think we can all have fun and feel good about ourself for doing this!! :) OK????

Hard to believe organizations such as the Angel Tree and Toys For Tots are turning away kids as early as before Thanksgiving....... I run the Angel Tree and Toys For Tots here in a small town and know what it is like and believe me i have never had anyone turned away. I accept kids clear up until the last couple of days before Christmas if i have too and if there is no money there then i buy with money out of my own pocket, which in the 7 years i have done this i have only had to do 1 time. Are your kids old enough to do odd jobs, babysitting etc to get money to buy each other gifts for Christmas? How about homemade gifts for your kids....sometime they mean more than a new toy...........
Good Luck to you and everyone else out there that are having bad times......Sometimes we just need to look above and talk to the Man Above for guidance..............

Thanks DBD ans shellysms for this great idea.

[shoppinqueen]

I think it might be a good idea to put some contributions aside into a paypal fund.That way if anybody falls thru on their commitment no child who was put on the list gets stuck going without a gift.If after the deadline all kids got their packages we can either send out to a few more kids or make that money the basis of a bigbigsavings emergency fund that will step in during the year on these swap/exchange deals to cover the void that happens when people sign up but don't send their end?

:( thats so wrong :(

I thought last years was anonymous :confused:

Hopefully that won't happen to anyone this year.

I signed up last year, but dropped out when I got an unexpected check. My girls got very little last year, but I wasn't about to take from those who wouldn't get anything otherwise.
