Christmas Giveaway Thread for those in need 2019 (final update OP page 14)

This is me, I forgot to log in. Bless you for being a light to others!

My email is [email protected]

And thank you for being here as well my dear. I replied to your email and sent you a little something to your PayPal.

Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family.

We have had a rough year, my girlfriend has diabetis and recently lost a good majority of her vision wich left her out of work these last 3 weeks. Honestly groceries is where we are hurting the most right now, we literally eat once a day and that stresses me out cause I have 2 kids still at home. I dont care if I eat but watching your kids go hungry hurts the most. Were not bad people just hit hard times with this current state of affairs. My email is : [email protected] as is my paypal address. You guys are good people and I have always loved this site and the members that make it what it is. Merry christmas everyone!

We lost everything including 3 dogs and 2 cats and our car in a house fire in Oct. 55 years of stuff just gone in a half hour. My black rifle and most of my guns are gone. 35 years married to the same person. All those pictures and of the kids too. Just remember to replace the batteries on your smoke detectors this season. God blessed us and he took it away. We expect that he bless us again even better this time.

‘Tis the Season again. The past years we had a Christmas Giveaway Thread, were we made Christmas a bit better for those who needed some cheering up. For me it started in 2017 with a Amazon Gift Card giveaway thread by St3v3 and followed by others like Javierruiz, Zalinsky, Cosmicgypsy, Truthserum. Beautiful people with beautiful hearts.

Last year I decided to make this a tradition, with much appreciated help of again Javierruiz and Kamchatka. So let’s follow up on it again this year.

I have saved up some funds throughout the year to give to those who can use it most and we have a beautiful soul who contributed as well. This person wants to stay anonymous and I will of course respect that. Nevertheless, that gesture is extremely appreciated. You are simply awesome!!!

Our society is getting tougher, colder, more individual, divisive, confusing. We all have our own examples to share. I experienced it myself. Lost my job of 39 years through bankruptcy in May this year. But no worries, I am fine. I know that there are so much people who struggle to put food on the table, not only at Christmas, but day after day. Let alone them being able to buy their kids and loved ones the tiniest gift for their birthday or with holidays like these.

I will always believe in people and in good outdoing the bad, no matter what. To those who struggle, I want to say and I know it is a repeat, but not meant less from the heart:

"Do not give up! In our weakest moments we find strength and belief, in ourselves and those around us. Don't be afraid to reach out. Trust me, I've been there myself and it is only through strength, belief and reaching out that I am now able to pay if forward. If I can do it, you can do it too. You are beautiful, you are strong, you are no quitter."

And to those that want to give, but are not able to do that financially:

“Know that the power of giving is not financial driven. It is driven by the heart. Lending someone an ear, show encouragement through words or giving a heartfelt hug or a tap on the shoulder, already can work miracles and be the trigger to give people that boost of confidence they need. If we can do that within the circle of our own influence, we already made this world a bit warmer. And give hope that it will spread like an ink spot.”

There might be voices that say that this gesture will be abused, that people should crawl out of the hole that they dug themselves, that everyone makes their own bed. To you I want to say that your words have no place or meaning here. This is a thread about giving and caring, not about doubt or blame.

Okay Mezzo, enough with the talking already! Sorry, the curse of writing…

We would like to spread the funds to as many people as possible. I believe we can help around 20 families with the available funds. Through PayPal preferably. But I also have an Amazon Prime membership, so if you for example create a wish list there with some presents for your kids or loved ones, that would work too. Please try to keep it at a maximum of €50 per wish list per family.

Anyway, how it works:

Feel free to post here, send me a pm or email me at [email protected] with your PayPal or Amazon wish list and I will see what I can do in the coming few days. I can't be around 24/7, but I will make sure you will get it in time.

Also feel free to post a Christmas song or a heartfelt thought, even if you don’t need anything. I know music and words also have a soothing or cheering effect on all of us.

And finally, if a MOD could please pin this thread, that would be great. Thanks!

Merry Christmas everyone. Let’s make this happen!

You are truly a beautiful soul my friend. Merry Christmas!

Thank you all so much for your beautiful words, music and gestures everyone. I would address each and everyone of you, but I know this is not about me. It is about what we can do to lift someone's spirit in whatever way.

The stories I read here and in email are truly heart breaking, but they also show hope, strength, fighting spirit, belief. And that is what we need. I know some situations can not be fixed just like that, but if we show support and a listening ear, that already works wonders.

I feel very grateful for everything and everyone. Thank YOU!

Now I first need to get dinner going. Back in a bit.

I don't need anything related to monetary value.

If someone could keep me in their thoughts or say a prayer or something... It's just been the beagle and I for lots of years now.

I doubt I'll even get a Christmas text message from anyone. Never do.

Law says they got until april.already passed the first hurdle,now the fbi has to do an investigation.since they have been surveilling me for 3 yrs and were the ones that sent me the paperwork and physically wrote on it for dod,and was monitoring my website,the investigation was done before it started.so it should be on the express train.
I baited their asses right in.lmao,cant wait to buy my corvette and jet plane!
Glp finally paid off for me!

Apparently we got a few one star bandits in the house. And to the person leaving red, it would have shown some holiday spirit if you would have left your name, so I could have thanked you properly. I am sorry, but I have to accept we can't please everyone. Hopefully one day you will find the joy in your heart back as well.

Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays anyway.

Are you a freemason

Thank you my dear Arnie.

For now we are fine sweetheart. People can either send an email to [email protected] or leave their PayPal address here in the thread.

I don't want to share my PayPal address here for anyone who wants to contribute, because I want to avoid anyone thinking I would take advantage of that. If people want to contribute, they can email me at that same address or PM me on here and I will share my PayPal address. But no obligation whatsoever to do so.

My most-beloved song of all time!

Well I'm too broke to eat right now due to my asshole neighbor abandoning a pregnant cat which I have spent all my money on taking care of her and the babies. Not that I would take it back, I love the little things and obviously they wouldn't have been taken care of well with my neighbor.

Anyway, I don't like to ask for anything but since there is an offer I could use a little money for food and things over the next few days!

And if not I wish you all a merry xmas and happy new year! As screwed up as this site is it always amazes me how kind people can also be around here :).
