I would love to get these items from the wish list, but the concept of wish list has changed a bit I think. So I can get these items to you, but we need to discuss the shipping details. Thanks! |

Even if I'm not selected, you're a blessing! Much love and happiness your way! Don't use GLP for this. Get a job./steeveegeebee BTC - bc1qwpwj8up7m7plt5dkput9tatzz0smwl62q6trmn |

(Final Update status on P.31) Well OP I can’t believe the generosity. My children have a wish for Mario Kart or new Animal Crossing game for Nintendo switch . It has been hard on them this year, nothing fun to do with all the restrictions and school going virtual. Quoting: Annabellabc [email protected] for paypal [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] Lmfao this thread... Such good intentions by a good person... Should have at least made it for paying members only. Bunch of random AC's who couldnt be arsed to even create a free account and acting like they cant come up with $50 on their own. One AC even asked for "at least $50!" Lol wtf? Fuck helping ghetto ppl Many people cannot afford to have a paid account here and others may prefer the anonymity. If you read Mezzo's post, you would see that this giveaway has made a difference in people's lives. I am sorry that your life is so sad that you want to criticize people for their economic situation and who must choose between putting food on the table or a Christmas gift for their child. Many blessings to you, AC. May you one day appreciate the importance of acts of kindness and generosity by strangers. If you can't afford a $40 game that you had all year to save up that $40 then that's on you. If things are that bad then sell the console? You are a Scrooge !!! Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

(Final Update status on P.31) 1.) I know this kid (friend of my son's) who has a tragic life story. Mom dead, Dad in jail, living with a mean grandma who is leaving him home alone at Christmas (as she did at thanksgiving). Quoting: Bright Side We invited him here but Grandma said no. Maybe she'll change her mind. He is really into skateboarding (very good actually) but broke his deck. My son is letting him borrow one of his for the time being. It would be great I could get him a new great skateboard and behind it the energy from dozens of people who believed he can rise above... just a thought. I plan on doing something for him but a new skateboard is a little beyond my reach with the others I am trying to help too. 2.) Also I know a kid (paralyzed) who is REALLY into film and wants to maybe be a truth telling documentarian. He needs an electric wheelchair and the family needs a decent wheelchair van but honestly if people could just send him DVDs or codes for movie rentals he'd be so stoked. Most of all just kind thoughts, prayers for them and good energy sent their way is a blessing. Such a rough story Bright Side. You are a great person for helping as much as you can. Can you email me at [email protected] , so we can discuss what is possible? Let me know it is you, so we can see and find a solution. Much love and Merry Christmas and God Bless you for doing what you do! |

(Final Update status on P.31) Ok, this one is not for me but for two ladies I work with. I work at a nursing home and the people aren’t allowed to go home see their families for the holidays or even leave their rooms because of covid-19. We don’t have visitors anymore either due to the “outbreak.” Two of the ladies that live there like to mail people Christmas cards but they don’t have the supplies or the money or access to getting supplies. So I want to surprise them both with a book of stamps and some pens, envelopes, and blank greeting cards. It would really make their day! I will provide a picture of the items I purchase for them. Could you help me out with $40 for them? Thanks, Kate My PayPal is [email protected] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79130660 You are the sweetest Kate. That is such a beautiful gesture. Please check your PayPal. Merry Christmas to you, your loved ones and those two ladies. God Bless you! |

(Final Update status on P.31) It’s happening again people!! ‘Tis the Season. Quoting: InterMezzo Dear friends, the past years we had a Giveaway Thread, that made Christmas a bit better for those who needed it most. It started in 2017 with a Gift Card Giveaway by St3v3 and followed by others like Javierruiz, Zalinsky, Cosmicgypsy, Truthserum. Beautiful people. The past years continued this tradition with much appreciated help from Javierruiz, Kamchatka, Arnie, miabelieves, SkinnyChic, immadonna, Windsage and other awesome (anonymous) contributors. Please forgive me if I forgot someone here. We are going through unprecedented times. Times that impact all of us in a big way. Jobs lost, health issues, lost loved ones, making this Christmas a very emotional one for many. Many of us have their story to tell. I myself haven’t been able to find a job in my field, causing some pressure, but I know many, many had and have it much worse, mentally and financially and struggle to put food on the table, not only at Christmas, but day after day. Let alone being able to buy their kids and loved ones the tiniest gift for their birthday or with holidays like these. Our society has again become even tougher, colder, more individual and divisive and I must admit it was a struggle for me to decide whether we should do this Giveaway again, seeing the hate and division toward each other on GLP these days as well, but friends convinced me that especially in challenging times like these we need to spread light to those who need it most. Not everything and everyone is bad. Even though the media would like us to believe that, the contrary is still true. There is much more good than bad. People sometimes act completely away from their core when they are fired up by all that surrounds us these days, not following their instinct, but what is being fed. So let’s at least try to reflect on that and attempt to find a little belief in humanity back again. I know these are just little gestures in the big picture, but my goal has always been to spread some encouragement and let people see that humanity is still far superior to politics, color, lifestyle, religion, anything. If we can restore that belief, even for a brief moment and make people see that in our own circle of influence we can make a difference, no matter if that is by words, food, money or a shoulder, I am convinced we are making our world a better place again and move back a little closer to our core. So in that light, let’s continue our tradition this year!! With the generous help of some beautiful souls who choose to stay anonymous we have again saved up some funds to help those who can use it most. If there are others who want to contribute, feel free to email or message me here and I will share my PayPal with you. The reason I don’t share it publicly is to avoid giving the impression I am doing this for my own gain, which can not be further from the truth. Any contribution, how big or small, is very much and equally appreciated and will go straight to those who need it most. But let me be clear, there is no obligation whatsoever. All of you who post positive, encouraging messages here are contributors in my book. Okay Mezzo, enough with the talking already. Man!! Sorry, the curse of writing… We like to spread the funds to as many people as possible. Through PayPal preferably. But I also have an Amazon Prime membership, with free shipping for many items, so if you for example create a wish list there with some presents for your kids or loved ones, that would work too. Please keep it at max $40 to $50 per wish list per family. Anyway, let’s start. How does the Christmas Giveaway work?: Feel free to post your request with your PayPal address here or send me a pm or email me at [email protected] with your PayPal address 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 do my very best to ensure you get it in time. Please also understand that I am not a millionaire and neither are the other contributors. In fact, this year I have been struggling to handle my bills just as much as many of us. This money has been saved up throughout the year by squeezing budgets and comes from the heart, not the size of our wallets. That means that once the budget has been exhausted, the Giveaway will end. I understand this might cause disappointment once that moment arrives, but we can not make it any better than it is. As much as we would love to help everyone, it simply is not possible to spend more than the available funds. There might also 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 will say that your words have no place or meaning here and those posts will be removed. This is a thread about giving and caring, not about doubt or blame. Anyway, having said that, feel free to post a Christmas song or a heartfelt thought of encouragement or happiness, even if you don’t need anything. I know music and words also have a soothing or cheering effect on all of us. Finally, if a MOD could please pin this thread, that would be great. Thanks! Merry Christmas everyone. Let’s make this happen! An amazing thing to do, Mezzo! GLP is more than what it may seem at face value. It's helped me in the past so that i could eat, and my niece. This year, I'm spending Christmas alone with my dog. I had a dream last night that the whole family was together here in my house and cannot help but feel heartache and a stomach pain from the reality that this will not happen. I've been working my butt off the last few weeks trying to catch up from the fall our business has suffered. Nothing ever feels like enough, though I'm physically drained and down to my lowest weight since i was in the 6th grade. I'm a 28 year old man. I don't feel like i can eat enough lately to compensate for the hard work. I miss those big family meals i always took for granted, and go figure, back then i was over weight. I'm so so terribly lonely more than anything. My heart hurts and I've been thinking, this winter will be one of the absolute worst for suicides... :memorybanner: |
