Hey. You.
Are you struggling to buy a toy for your child this year holidays? Are you wanting to help others? Do you like ecstatic taxidermied heads in santa hats? If any of these apply then you are in the right place, because today marks the eighth (EIGHTH!?) annual James Garfield Miracle.
The backstory: I bought a very jolly but kinda f-ed up boar head (named James Garfield) and Victor thought I was crazy so I sold some homemade Xmas cards to make up the $90 I paid for him but I made so much I decided to give the money back to parents struggling to buy a toy for their kid.
It went quickly but as soon as I ran out of cash a ton of other people stepped up and asked if they could send toys to strangers and it grew into a weird but lovely tradition.
Each year I think will be the last year but each year people who were helped in the past ask if we’ll do it again so they can give back. For those who like something easier you can give to Project Night Night, a brilliant organization that provides a book, stuffed animal and security blanket to kids living in shelters, and also to Heifer because it’s nice to be able to donate the ass end of a water buffalo on the behalf of relatives that you don’t really like. As always, there are no sponsors, no rules and no one gets anything out of it except the happiness of helping total strangers.
So here’s how it works: If you are struggling this year and you don’t know how you are going to buy a toy for your child (or children) then follow these instructions:
Make a wishlist on Amazon and leave a comment below (with the age of your child, a link to your wishlist and anything else you want to share). There are a few rules that you must follow.
1. You are not allowed to feel bad about asking for help, because all of us have struggled at some point, and people LOVE to help. In fact, lots of people helping are ones who were helped in the past and want to pay it forward.
2. It has to be a brand new wishlist (I’ll show you how to make one below) and (to make it fair and make sure we can help as many kids as possible) you should choose under $40 in toys (per kid). We usually stick with just toys but if your kid needs a coat or socks or something to keep them warm you can add that, but keep it to under $60 (per kid).
3. It’s REALLY important that you follow the instructions on how to set up a public wishlist (your address isn’t shown publicly to anyone) because tons of people miss a step and their list gets ignored and that sucks.
4. Continue to be awesome.
Here are the rules for people who want to give:
1. Find a comment with a link and send a present. If the wishlist is empty that means that the list has been filled. YAY! If you buy something but it doesn’t give you the option to send it to the person’s registry address that means that they messed up so delete that present from your cart and go to the next person. You’ll know if it’s messed up because Amazon will try to send the present to your address at checkout.
2. Continue to be awesome.
Here’s the basic FAQ because we’ve done it enough to know all the problems:
- How do I post my wishlist so that my kid gets a present?
Follow these step-by-step instructions:
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART PEOPLE ALWAYS MESS UP:
Now, go shopping. Put up to $40 in books and toys (and up to $60 in coats/socks if needed) on your wishlist. Instead of clicking “Add to cart” choose the “Add to list” drop-down under it and select your list. (Make sure you choose a size if you need a coat or jacket.) If possible, stick with things that offer Prime shipping and that arrive before the holiday.
If you don’t live in America please say where you live in the comments because it’s much cheaper for Canadian people to buy for Canadians, etc.
Once you’re done go to the comments here and put a link to your wishlist. Here’s an example I made up:
I’m really struggling this year and have 2 young kids and 1 teenager. They like books and movies. I live in America. I also added an inexpensive coat and mittens for one my youngest just in case anyone could help. Here’s my link: amazon.com.blahblahblah
- What should I choose for my wishlist?
Picking things that are listed as “prime” eligible is ideal because shipping is free for people with prime memberships. Remember the limits so that we can help as many kids as we can. Books and art supplies and movies that kids can share are all great suggestions. Here’s an example list I made with a ton of inexpensive books, toys, etc. that you can use as inspiration to get started.
I went to buy something from a list but the list was empty.
That is actually awesome. That means everything from their list was bought. Whoop!
I went to buy something from a list but there wasn’t an address attached to it.
Then delete what you have in your cart and go to the next persons list. That happens every year. Leave a comment letting the person know that they need to add an address.
How do I know I’m using the right address?
When you’re looking at the wishlist it will say the name of the person. When you check out select the same person’s name’s wishlist address or registry address. If there isn’t one then they haven’t added their address so delete your cart and try the next person.
Are you checking to make sure people are real?
Sort of. There are some things I do to check but go with your gut. I do delete people if I know they aren’t real or aren’t following the rules but most people won’t go to the trouble to fake an account for crayons and kid’s books so just use your best judgement.
Can I thank the person who helped me?
You won’t know who they are, but you can totally say thanks in the comments. You’ll know if something was bought because it will disappear from your list.
What if I don’t get what was sent to me?
It happens, but rarely. Sometimes you’ll forget to put your address and your stuff goes to the person who bought it. Or it’s at your neighbor’s house because you weren’t there to sign for it. Or it was sold out and you’ll get it after the holiday. It’s rare, but it can happen.
I can’t afford to buy something but I’d like to volunteer to make something or send a card to someone.
Okay. Just put your email on your comment and they can connect with you.
I’d like to give even more to a particular person.
Awesome! The best way to do that is to leave your email address in a comment and ask them to contact you so you can help them directly. Please don’t ask them to add extra stuff to their wishlist because it gets way too confusing.
I want to give 10% off a product I make or let them enter a drawing if they like my Facebook page and tweet a bunch of crap about it.
No. Sorry. This is not that.
Will you be my friend?
Yes. Yes, I will.
PS. This morning I donated $1,000 to Project Night Night in your name. And now I’m going to fill as many wish lists as I can. The money I spend on this stuff comes directly from my affiliate links and from your support in buying my books, so if you can’t afford to help just know that if you came here this year these gifts are from you too. In the last 7 years our community has given almost $400,000 to help kids during the holidays. That is insane, y’all. But a good kind of insane.
The best kind of insane.
PS. Pretty please stick to the max limit per kid. You don’t need to add extra things so there are choices because then you end up getting way over the max if people fill your whole list and since there’s a limited amount of money to help some kids might end up getting more than a hundred dollars in gifts and others get nothing. Thanks everyone!
Karen, where do I even start? You are such a beautiful soul and your humor really touched mine and my husbands heart. Merry Christmas!! 🤶🏻
Thank you to the angel who sent dresses to my little girls on post #1470 so they would be prepared for their daddys funeral i didnt know what i was gonna do when the time comes i still have nothing to wear but then i still have time to come up with something he is still fighting to hang on as his breathing is getting worse and he has the death rattle in his lungs that scares the kids so that they don’t want to
bed.
Jenny
How is it that you make us all feel heard? Those of us who know we are crazy, those of us who don’t know yet, and those of us who think we are but probably arent. It’s a gift.
I lost my brother this year very suddenly. He was the only kid I ever really shopped for because I don’t have kids of my own. He was autistic, so I was buying kids stuff into his 30s. It was what he loved. And I loved him more than my own life.
Getting to help buy things this year for other kids has made my first Christmas without him a little less painful. Thank you to you and the people here from the bottom of my heart for giving me a chance to do that. And thanks to my fellow givers for reminding me to dig deeper and give more and for making me laugh (Karen!!!)
I hope you all hug your kids and family tight every chance you get this season. It’s a cliche but every day you have with them is a gift.. I know that now more than ever.
Thank you to the angel who bought gift card for my son !
Hi. I’ve read this blog pretty regularly for the last few months (maybe you’ve seen some of my comments on other posts). I’ve really enjoyed your writing, and I think that you do this every year is wonderful.
To make a long story short, after escaping an abusive situation, things have suddenly become really, really hard. It went from not really worrying financially and being able to easily share with people who had less, to really struggling just to put food on the table and going to food banks ourselves.
Ladybug, at four, is the youngest kiddo. She’s a really sensitive, gentle little girl. She’s HOH, but has never let that stop her in any way from doing whatever she wants to do. https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/U4AHGMXJS2X5
Cheetah is nine, and wants to be a scientist when she grows up. She’s very intelligent (much more than she thinks she is) and very sure of who she is and what she believes, which I think is a great quality in such a young person. https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/1KEQLJTH3TIV9?&sort=default
Butterfly is thirteen. It’s been a hard little while for her. She has Autism and has a lot of difficulty making friends. Her closest companion was the family cat, who had to be left behind when we left, along with a lot of everyone’s stuff, which was really difficult for her. She’s a very sweet person who never has a bad word to say about anyone. https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/3V931NE531BR9?&sort=default
Jackrabbit is fifteen. He’s the sort of person who will go sit with the person who’s by themselves in the school cafeteria and try to make friends with them. Things have been incredibly tumultuous, but he’s stayed his cheerful self through all of it. https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/26VRIG5PZ2CMT?&sort=default
Elephant is sixteen. She’s very, very hardworking. She spends all of her time either working on homework, watching her siblings, or working to help out financially. She gets straight As on everything, and reads a bunch of different newspapers. https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/110QVBEGYJDBL?&sort=default
I’m Canadian.
Thank you so much. <3
1970 Esperanza – I love how you described your little boy on your wish list. He’s getting some new underwear. Happy Holidays!
Hi it’s Bryanna I want to thank the person who got the peppa car for my baby girl she will love it.There are still some pajamas and a few toys left on the list if anyone can help.We lost everything in the hurricane and are staying with family.Merry Christmas everyone.

Jennifer A – If you notice your list was cleared and happen to see this comment, I want to let you know that the items I purchased should be arriving by Wednesday or Thursday. There are a couple of surprises too, one of which should arrive tomorrow or Monday.
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
I revised my list a little.There were some items out of stock and some the price went way up after I put them on my list. Thank you so much to the person who purchased a few items!

Thank you
Jenny, Thank you so much for doing this again and thanks for your insightful comment @ #1998. I’m pretty sure I purchased some items from one less than savory list and maybe two over the past 48+ hours. But those minor deviations mean nothing compared to the heart-melting joy I felt reading the gracious replies from those who were genuinely courageous enough and trusting enough to ask for help.
There are literally hundreds and hundreds of touching messages of gratitude in the comments and I have no doubt that every person who wrote those thank-you’s would be first in line to help someone else should their fortunes improve. Once again, you all have helped restore my faith in humanity.
Merry Christmas.
My list for my girls. I posted it yesterday morning. Thank you.

I am just sitting here with tears in my eyes, I love you all so much!!!!
Hello, my name is Rachel and i am the proud mom of 4. My man is disabled, but hasnt been able to get disability. I work full timeand my oldest is at MIT. While their FinAid is great, our health insurance wont cover her out of state, so the annual contribution plus student health coverage means even living very frugally, we are over budget every month. My MIL helps with what she can, but thinking about xmas this year has been hard. Thank you Jenny for doing this, and thank you everyone else for giving so many happy full hearts.
Now about my kids!
Baby boy is 3. He loves building, lights, music, dancing, and his fave color is orange. He has enough clothes until he’s 6 thanks to my cousins and friends.
My ‘younger’ 16 yo twin daughter is into makeup, hair color, clothes, music and boys boys boys, fave color is purple, shes a size 1-2x.
My ‘older’ twin girl is a HUGE manga/anime fan, she reads about 10 books a week. She LOVES socks, but is a size 11 oen’s.
I didnt add anything to the list for my oldest, cuz she’s not a ‘kid’, and she’s also gotten hooked up with winter clothes by my friends and fam on the east coast. She loves brain teasers and manga/anime.

Maramirror #2005 Would it be possible for you to remake this wishlist on american Amazon?? I ask because Canadian amazon doesn’t recognize american Prime members, at least it didn’t recognize me, and that added quite a bit in shipping costs.
I am a single mother and a foster parent. My children are 2yr boy, and my girls are 4yr, 8yr, and 10yr. Three of my children were recently placed with me on an emergency due to parents using drugs abuse, neglect, and sexual assault. This broke my heart when I was contacted and found out what these children had been through. While trying to get them settled in and making sure they had the things they needed to be as comfortable as possible I became behind in my own bills. Right now I am struggling financially and with Christmas being around the corner it’s looking like I will not be able to make Christmas happen this year. These children deserve to have a great Christmas and some gifts from Santa this year. I am asking for help with making this possible for my little once. It breaks my heart when I hear my girls talk about the gifts they want Santa to bring them because I know that right now I am not in a place that I can make that come true. I fear that I will fail them this Christmas without any help.
Please consider my children for Christmas this year. Anything is appreciated and I thank Santa in advance the great gifts he/she may bring my little one.
1yr boy: likes cars, toys, books and Elmo
4yr girl: likes dolls, gymnastics, books,
8yr girl: likes dolls, books, blocks,
10yr girl: likes dolls, frozen, books, dancing, nail polish, bracelets, and purses.

First things first I just want to send a HUGE Thank you to every one who helped make my daughter’s Christmas amazing! Everything on her list was purchased so I know she will have an amazing holiday thanks to James Garfield’s miracle workers. All 7 items on the list I created for her were purchased!
Tonight when I took her best friend home I got a chance to see first hand how amazing her best friends mother is. We are close to her family …or at least thought we were, it turns out her best friends mom was trying to keep it a secret from us just how bad they are struggling. Her mom is a single mom who works full time and goes to school full time and did not qualify for much student aid so she still pays some out of pocket. When I dropped the daughter off I noticed how cold the apartment was, the mom has the heater set at 64 because she is afraid to run the heat too much because of the bill, this alone broke my heart. Then I noticed they didn’t have a tree up yet when I Asked about they said they were moving Christmas by a few months till they can afford it.
Then and there I decided that since my family has been blessed thanks to your generosity I would pay it forward. 2 of the presents purchased for my daughter I know her best will love so I am going to go ahead and make sure those are under their tree. Unfortunately I can’t do more than 2 because the girls wear different sizes . I will be hitting the thrift store in the am to get her a coat but I still need a little help getting a few more gifts for the both of the mom and daughter under the tree. Since we live in the same apartment complex I already spoke to our manager who is going to help by getting them a little 3 ft tree and have the heat put back in the complex’s name till the end of Jan. Slowly it is coming together and it does feel good to be able to help even if it is just organizing and sharing the blessings we have been given. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you again you amazing elves!
Here is a small list I put together for them:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1GBAP1DKGI80R/ref=cm_wl_huc_title

I believe this is the last christmas that my oldest believes in father christmas so i want to make it special.

It’s 4am here in CA and I can’t sleep so I have been reading some of the comments here to help me get into the Christmas spirit. Its a hard time of year for me, I always remember how we buried my grandma the day after Christmas a few years ago and my mom passed away just last year before Thanksgiving. I’m trying to keep positive for my husband and children but I know you all can understand how some days are harder than others. I feel so alone sometimes since we don’t have close family or many friends. We’re moving before Christmas and my husband is unemployed. I’m a stay at home mom. We have been struggling for a long time. Hoping the new year will be better for us all. I posted a few times earlier because I thought our list was overlooked or lost in the mix, I was feeling desperate to get a gift for my children, especially my 4 year old. I’m now realizing that my list was probably overlooked on purpose because I had too many items. I’m not greedy or trying to pull anything over here, I would never do that. I posted an ongoing wish list I had for my kids without reading the rules. I have moved items off the list now. We received one little house on the prairie book that I am so grateful for. Thanks for reading all this/ for having this site Jenny so we don’t have to feel so alone or misunderstood. There’s so much love and kindness here. ❤

This is the link to the list I created for my son. He’s eleven years old, and truly an amazing kid. We’ve been through a lot together and he has fought through illness and injury right along with me. I love him so much! We just don’t have a lot of money this year and I don’t want Christmas to look bleak for him. Please consider filling this request. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Jenny & kind elves who chose to lift a new mom’s spirits for Christmas. She will be so surprised! It’s a little light of hope for her and baby. You are all wonderful people. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
I want to make a list for a neighbor’s daughter, but don’t want to look scammy. Is this ok?
Hello my original post was #1817 but I believe I am being over looked because I posted annoymous. This is the first time I have done this so was confused as to what to do. My sister in law that is 13 lost her biological mom the beginning of this year, and is now with her dad that is on SSI. She is going through a lot and is seeing a counselor for depression. I just really want to see a smile on her face. Also due to my just having my daughter that is 2 months old I have been out of work I was working when I was pregnant but was in and out of the hospital with hypermesis real bad where I would throw up for days at a time and have to be hospitalized. I ended up finally having my daughter but had to have a emergency c section.my husband is working but does landscaping which is down now due to the weather the only money we had we spent on Christmas dinner for everyone.any help for Megan and Roselynn would be great but please help Megan first you can tell it’s for her because it’s not baby items. She is on the bigger size and we are trying to work with her on her weight but it’s a fraigle situation after losing her mom. Thanks and God bless
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to you sweet souls who purchased items for my children, (my son, as well as 2 nieces whom I care for). They will each be receiving 3 items, so I deleted the remaining un-purchased books from my sons list.
It saddens me to see that people are getting greedy and adding items after being gifted so much already. I’m sure we would all love to provide our children with hundreds of dollars worth of gifts to open, but until I can do so independently, I cannot in good conscious continue to ask for more and more, especially when there are so many deserving people needing a helping hand.
Is it not better for many people to get a little, than a few getting many with the rest getting none?
So again, thank you to #1491, #1840, and whomever else helped to bring smiles on Christmas morning! <3 <3 <3
Shoshanna, comment 1582 – would it be possible for me to email you, as I would like to thank you.
I’m super confused! I’m posted 1763 and I had deleted a Minecraft pickaxe from my list because it’s price has doubled when I first made my list. When I deleted it, it wasn’t purchased. How in the world is it showing purchased on my end? I double and triple checked that it was deleted and posted about deleting it so people would know I didn’t intentionally add a $65 item… it was only $32 or something when my list was first made. But anyway is this a glitch or is it possible that someone purchased it after it had been deleted? I feel awful if someone spent that on one of my kids and I apologize if it was still on the list. I promise I deleted yesterday. If it really was purchased I’m gonna go sit and ugly cry with my quart of cookies n cream ice cream in the bathroom so the kids don’t hear me lol. Thank you to all the elves and angels in here!
I posted yesterday and thought I would try again today. My husband and I have two little girls ages 3 & 7. I was out of work for several months and I was blessed with a new job. Unfortunately we are playing catch up now on all the bills and don’t have much of anything for Christmas. I deleted some of the clothes and and some items from their list. Some items they can share as well. I hope I’m doing it right.
Thank you!

To Chris, #2012. Your girls are going to have their Christmas pajamas! They won’t arrive the same day, but they will have them before Christmas!
Jennifer,
I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s a Christmad blessing. ❤️
I can’t find the previous comments but GUYS PLEASE! This list is for my sister and my nieces and nephews. Her husband is looking for work and they are barely scraping by. They took in a 5 month old foster baby from their church in order to keep her out of the foster system until her mom is released from jail. (The mom is serving 6 months for a charge that’s years old from when she was a dumb teen). They are AMAZING people and need to be blessed this year. They’ve never needed to ask for help but this year it’s needed. Her comment was under Brandi Two days ago. I’ve reposted the link because the only 4 items purchased were done by me (I can prove it if needed) but I’m hoping she won’t see this because I didn’t want her to know I bought them. The list is for 5 kids so it’s not over the per child limit. If I could buy them all I would. We’re helping them as our finances allow but we’re tight too. I am forever grateful for anyone who helps my amazing family.
Lord God, if anyone sees this and blesses Brandi’s kids I pray You would truly bless them for their kindness and for being Your hands and feet!

I am the single mother of 6 children ranging in age from 8 to 16 which includes 3 bouts and 3 girls. This had been a rough year for myself and my family as I was diagnosed with intracranial hypertension which causes severe pressure on my brain and my eye. Due to this condition I have been out of work since January starting on short term disability. Since also my claim wad converted to long term disability but I am still waiting on a decision on whether my claim is approved or not so I haven’t gotten paid and have gotten behind on so many bills and just trying to stay afloat with the small amount of child support I receive. All I want for Christmas is to see a smile on my children’s faces as they have gone without necessities sometimes but have remained humble and supportive and helped out when i can’t get out of bed. Any help is appreciated and my family with be thankful for. Happy holidays!

Realizing I am probably too late but still hopeful. 13 year old boy. Put some headphones and slippers on the list. 8 year old boy needs a jacket and loves legos. 6 year old girl loves all things Basrbie and needs a warn coat. It had to be pink of course. 2 year old boy some duplo because he has to be like his brothers and a jacket. Thank you so much if you are able to help. Wish List

Anon,
It most definitely is but how is it even possible? Do deleted list items still show? I can’t help but feel bad. I’m definitely beyond grateful, in shock, and so excited for my son but I can’t for the life of me figure out how. I guess how isn’t important here, I’m just hoping it wasn’t something I did. Whoever you are, thank you! That is literally the only thing my son asked Santa for this year so Santa is coming!!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!
Anonymous comment 1982: My apologies. This isn’t my first time at this rodeo. And as others have pointed out, day three things start to get a little hinky. Like Jenny said, some folks get caught up in the moment and get overly excited that they’ll be able to do something for their family or friends and start piling on. I’ve been fortunate enough to have never been in such a desperate situation that I’ve had to ask for help outside the family. I can’t imagine how hard THAT is, knowing just how hard it was to ask my sister and feeling like a complete and utter failure as a mom.
If I might offer some advice, if you find yourself in the same situation next year – and I well and truly hope you don’t – have your group set up completely separate Amazon accounts. That way everyone will have their own list that isn’t tied to others. Things look a bit suspect when various names pop up and the link takes someone looking to help to an account they’ve previously purchased from, which is what happened with me. Things also raise alarms when the lists disappear, reappear, names on the lists change, items are deleted and added repeatedly, and so on.
I didn’t cancel any orders, because I figure either way, whoever is asking has their own reasons.
Now i’m off to do some more shopping. I hope you accept my apology and you and your family and friends have a wonderful Christmas.
Oh my! Thank you so much my little one will be happy with his new undies and pants! I can’t thank you all enough and to Jenny and James Garfield you really are Santa’s in your own rite! Love and a merry christmas to all!
Hi Danelle–the diapers are coming, hoping things get better fast for you and your family.
I am re-posting for my niece – I was originally #856 & #857 … I am grateful for what was purchased for my two babes, but I am shamelessly hoping for at least a winter jacket for my niece’s kids.
They moved from Louisiana to Washington in Aug with nothing but three suitcases between them to get away from a bad situation where mom had no support system.
I asked her to update her list because a few items were not prime or were already out of stock, so please know we’re not trying to scam ya’ll.
She did homeschooling while in Louisiana, and is wanting to get back into that so she added the Kindle as a ‘hopeful’ for the three older school age kids…

Adding as a last hope maybe someone is still looking for someone. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old son.needing a little help this Christmas season.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SBT4V2QU6ZY5
Hey Everyone, I’m a mom to a 11 month old baby boy. I’d appreciate anything purchased off of his wish/Christmas list. I won’t br able to afford many presents this year due to moving and fixing my car so this would help a lot.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/125Z03HLZP2EB
First things first I just want to send a HUGE Thank you to every one who helped make my daughter’s Christmas amazing! Everything on her list was purchased so I know she will have an amazing holiday thanks to James Garfield’s miracle workers. All 7 items on the list I created for her were purchased!
Tonight when I took her best friend home I got a chance to see first hand how amazing her best friends mother is. We are close to her family …or at least thought we were, it turns out her best friends mom was trying to keep it a secret from us just how bad they are struggling. Her mom is a single mom who works full time and goes to school full time and did not qualify for much student aid so she still pays some out of pocket. When I dropped the daughter off I noticed how cold the apartment was, the mom has the heater set at 64 because she is afraid to run the heat too much because of the bill, this alone broke my heart. Then I noticed they didn’t have a tree up yet when I Asked about they said they were moving Christmas by a few months till they can afford it.
Then and there I decided that since my family has been blessed thanks to your generosity I would pay it forward. 2 of the presents purchased for my daughter I know her best will love so I am going to go ahead and make sure those are under their tree. Unfortunately I can’t do more than 2 because the girls wear different sizes . I will be hitting the thrift store in the am to get her a coat but I still need a little help getting a few more gifts for the both of the mom and daughter under the tree. Since we live in the same apartment complex I already spoke to our manager who is going to help by getting them a little 3 ft tree and have the heat put back in the complex’s name till the end of Jan. Slowly it is coming together and it does feel good to be able to help even if it is just organizing and sharing the blessings we have been given. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you again you amazing elves!
Here is a small list I put together for them:

I recently took a group of children into my home because their parents are addicted to meth. They are really sweet kids but have seen more in their short life than any child should ever have to see. Their ages are 4,6,12, and 13. I am trying to make their Christmas memorable despite their current obstacles. Any assistance that you can give is very much appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1NI5K2M6AIB7O
Still hoping someone will help with AJ’s list! He’s such a great kid and he would be so thrilled to get special little things. Thank you!!

(I think you accidentally linked to your wishlist so I edited it to link to the one labeled James Garfield wishlist. ~ Jenny)
Jenny- thank you so much for setting this up! Nancy A- and Heather thank you for your generosity. My god continue to bless you.
Hi everyone! Mom of one soon to be 5 year old boy. I have a job and am going to school, but it’s tight. I’ve managed to buy some books, jammies and clothes, but could really use some help in the toy department. Adam is obsessed with dinosaurs and magnets right now (along with rocks and Pez, which I’ll get and put in his stocking) and if someone could help me with a plushie and a magnet, I’d be very grateful.
Lisa at number 258. I don’t know if you posted the wrong list as the list posted has over $1,000 worth of items including a wig and a $150 external hard drive and two different packages of $50 beef jerky. Perhaps you might want to edit your list to include only the items wanted for AJ.
Lisa, I’m not criticizing, it just appear as a lot of the items are items that you had on prior to this lovely James Garfield Miracle event being started. That may be why things are not being purchased.
Should have read #2058. Posting from my phone. Sometimes it posts anonymous, sometimes as SadieLu. I found a $20 bill last night. People have blessed my list and I wanted to purchase something for someone else.
#2060 for five year old boy. I forgot to post the link. http://a.co/87WfNqr A sincere thank you to anyone who can help.
For Cameron Ray #1919 – Sending one of the playsets your way. Should keep the baby busy for awhile – a gift for the little one AND the parents. Happiest of Christmases to you! <3
Reposting since I’m not a OT to find the original. Mobile and might not have posted this correctly. Originally number 1188 I think.
This list is for a family friend, they are struggling badly. SSDI and so many bills. If anyone can help them they would be so thankful.

It was surreal. It was magical. It was It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol all mixed together and arriving in brown Amazon boxes.
My wish list was fulfilled within hours. Boxes have started to arrive and POOF all that worry, stress and dread about Christmas was lifted from my shoulders and already fucked up brain.
Thank you with all my heart, jenny with a small j and Kristen L. Manies. You can’t imagine how much your generosity means to me.
Freed from worry, I was able to purchase one of my favorite books from someone else’s list to gift. And Jenny is right. It felt incredible. Love you Jenny Lawson. And everyone. Right now I love everyone. (This is subject to change as soon as I read twitter comments.)
Thank you so much. I have been making bank off these giveaways for a few years now. god bless the big retailers for their liberal return policies. Me and my partner invest that money in Magic the gathering cards for my children’s future. Can my youngest send you a card?
Everyone, I am seriously crying right now. And getting some funny looks from the other people here right now but I dont mind ! I got back to the library before I thought I would 🙂 I want to say thank you so much to the strangers who have blessed my babies ! But with Baby Micheal on my lap (wanting to help type) and trying to keep a eye on Joseph and Gracie (they love to wander in the book isles), I cant scroll thru to find the names of exactly who to thank ! But if you see this, and we ring a bell, Thank you so, so much ! From myself and the kids ! I cant wait til Christmas now !
Much love from Melissa #1303
I wanted to say that it is a powerful testament to Jen Lawson that she is followed by and surrounds herself with truly awesome people.
Last year I was in a position to ask for help and was blown away by someone who sent my children the small items I asked for, then extra. And even wrapping paper and scissors.
This year I got to play elf and it felt amazing!
But enough about me. I want us to all remember the person who started this.
She has bad days and she has great days and through it all, she has become a leader on the internet whose influence is bringing Christmas to SO MANY CHILDREN.
Love you Jen.
You. Are. Amazing.
Your friend, Amy
#2057 bless you for what you are doing for these children. I don’t have much but found $20 last night. I purchased one of the Baby Alive dolls for your girls. I remember having one as a child and I hope she enjoys it as much as I did. Merry Christmas.
#1996 Danielle F… I went to click on your list, and saw that some kind angel had beaten me to it. I know that our military men and women do not serve, alone…there families are always with them. Thank you, folks, for your service, and congratulations on your double blessings. 🙂
#2069 you are a cynical asshole and don’t belong here. Go away.
I work as a teacher in a nonprofit Montessori school. I have RA, my life is a mess, but I have a roof over my head, a kind husband, a kind daughter, and we have what we need. My father passed away almost two years ago. I used some of the money I received after settling his accounts to purchase gifts for 4 or 5 families.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to honor my dad, Shelby Glen Ellis, by helping others. He’s be proud.
I just wanted to start by saying I think this is amazing! I was able to help someone a couple of years ago and it felt so great. Sadly I’m on a differnnt end of this is year. We are a family of 6 and live in ky my husband works very hard out in the water and cold year round to support us but we are having a tuff time this Christmas and if anyone could help you have no idea how much it would mean to us! I do not by any means expect everything on their list to be purchases. I let them pick out their own items I wasn’t sure exactly how it works but I only made one list and out all their names and items there. Also I’m not sure if this is allowed but my oldest was asking me why we don’t have a bunch of Christmas cards like this friends family has put up in their house ..we don’t know many people and I couldn’t tell you the last time we received a card from anyone lol but he’s wanting Christmas cards and they looooove getting mail to open I may be crazy for putting this out there but if anyone would be interested in sending them a card please do! You don’t even have to sign it I just know they would enjoy getting them and hanging them on the wall! Again I just want to say how truely amazing this all is!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

This is my first year seeing this. At first, I posted a list for my 4 kids, but ended up deleting my list because I felt like there were so many families who needed help more than we do. I hope to be able to help one year. Merry Christmas and God bless. Please, ignore comments #367 ׿.
Jocelyn, you’ve just sent more things to Christina Segundo. Just a heads up that she’s posting under many names. See post 2056.
Emily, again thank you! The mailman just dropped off the Dinosaur book, coloring books and crayons you purchased for my grandsons. 😉
Still hoping someone will bless them with a toy from my list, but I’m going to Goodwill this afternoon to see if I can find anything and I found some online recipes for homemade slime and playdoh so
I’ll make it work!
I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident and then air lifted to the hospital. He still currently has seizures ans is teeing to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both stated back to work thank goodness. Or kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are going for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2
We are praying for any help possible please. 🙁

So to the person who posted my name calling me out thinking they know me.The 14 gifts my kids got in total of around 250 dollars are n returned to sender.I did post those all except for the Bryanna and I honestly would love to know where u got your info I your assuming that’s me? The first one I couldn’t find and i reposted again in the 390s.Many people not just me had that issue.I reposted my story so people would know why I was here in the 1400s.Again everyone else did this as well to make sure their kids weren’t overlooked.The other comments were answering other commenters and thanking those who helped..AGAIN something everyone else did.I seriously wish u would come over so u can see that every gift for my kid Is needed and appreciated.However I wi not accept them because of people like you.My list was posted for not even the limit for 4 kids.There are people who received over 500 for 1 kid and your calling me out because I reposted my list and then answered those others on here when asked a question.you don’t know me however I urge you to come over just to prove you wrong.Your mixing people up saying they are me without knowing anyone and in turn some child isn’t going to get anything just because you think you know.Please add me on facebook.I will send u my address so you can see what is recieved and also when they are returned.I love to prove people wrong.the fact is I posted just like everyone else.I reposted to make sure my kids weren’t overlooked and i answered people who put my name in their mouth and also thanked those who helped.I did the same as everyone else.As for the Bryanna name you put a swing it’s me that’s real sad.Sorry to whoever it is and I wish I had their address to send the stuff my kids get to them.Because of you ASSUMING some child will go without.To everyone who purchased for my kids.Please be watching a YouTube channel called baby bunch I will post a video of every package being returned.I donated here last year only to be called a scammer this year.No thanks.I will find a way but I work to hard to be called something like this.
I came on here today to see all the wonderful things people were saying, but then I checked my Amazon and I had been logged out, my password changed and I had lists missing items were purchased that I did not purchase:'( my Amazon had been hacked last night:'( Idk what to do!
Hi!
I have a little boy that I would love some help with. He just turned 13 and is on the autism spectrum so gifs are always hard to figure out. :). We’ve been struggling again this year losing our vehicle and trying to keep up with the kids appointments and school. It’s been hectic to say the least. Thank you to anyone that can help us out. I’m hoping to be able to give next year. I think it will be a wonderful thing to do together.

Jocelyn I assured you that you have not sent anything to me.As for anonymous please come to my house so I can make you feel real dumb when the items that were ordered for my kids are the only ones that show up.I have an extra bedroom.I will even feed you until the last package arrives.Keep my name out of your mouth and get a life.Please post the proof that person is me.I want to see it as I am sure everyone else as well.
J#2006 thank you that is the best way to describe my little guy he struggles at times in school and such but has learned that trying hard and working hard pays off! I’m hoping by next Christmas we can gift another family on this event. But either way we will keep up our volunteer work and just trying to be good caring humans. We are hoping to work with a soup kitchen this Christmas to give out time because that’s all we have to give.
Reposting in hope…my kids and I are living with my aunt and her kids due to me being out of work so long

Thank you to those that purchased a few items from our list! My kids are going to be so excited! When I checked our list today I noticed the scooter wasn’t Prime and from a 3rd party. I updated it.

I helped my sister- and brother-in law make wishlists for their kids last night. Apparently they’ve been trying to figure out how to do it for a couple days but couldn’t get into their Amazon or something. They have internet access at their house so I had my husband help them post their wishlists from there to hopefully avoid the possibility of any scamming accusations from anyone who doesn’t know the situation. I didn’t want to share their lists from my internet bc I didn’t want to get dragged into any scamming arguments or something, but they’re pretty much internet-incompetent with the exception of that my brother-in-law at least has his own Facebook account. I feel bad because they really aren’t having much luck with their kids wishlists and I know the chances of them managing to post to the blog on their own is probably slim to none. They have three kids, Daijah (16), Payton (8), and Kodah (3). Someone purchased an embroidery set or something like for my middle niece, Payton. I originally helped Jennifer add gift cards for Daijah bc she’s a teenager and kind of into her own things and what do you get teenagers anyway? Now I’m just worried someone is going to assume its a scam because of the gift cards, so we changed them out for little trinkets that she might like. If there are any Santa’s out there still looking to help kids who haven’t gotten a lot of help thus far, these are three great kids. I’m going to share their lists because I feel bad about not doing it when I know that I easily could. There are four things on Daijahs list now, four on Kodah’s, and four on Payton’s (there were 5, but ones been purchased). Each list is right around $40 and we stuck to things that for the most part are obviously things that only a kid would like. The kids lists are at:

I just wanted to come back and read all of the heartwarming comments and reminders of the holiday’s true meaning, once more.
You folks are awesome.
On my end, thanks to you, a Christmas miracle is about to unfold… not just for the two precious little girls I posted for, first, but for their mother. On Friday, she had the second surgery to repair damages from abuse, and it required several teeth to be pulled. I went to see her, and told her about the James Garfield Miracle and that she and her girls will be receiving something from Santa if she would honor us by joining us for Christmas dinner. She had actually told her 6-year old the “truth about Santa,” because she couldn’t bear to see her disappointment on Christmas day. There will be copies of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” and “Furiously Happy” under the tree for the mother, and the clothes and toys (along with a letter from Santa, stockings, and a food basket that we are putting together) for them, as well.
As if things couldn’t get even better, you Christmas Angels have ALSO gifted our neighbor’s 15-year old daughter with some much-coveted art supplies. Our own 17-year old is willing to forego her OWN Christmas wishlist (other than her graduation cap and gown, which are kind of a necessity) in order to help purchase a gift apiece for the girl’s three younger siblings. If we can, we’d like to put together a food basket for THEM, as well.
THEN, to show you just how magical this miracle is… my 82-year old mother-in-law (who lives with us) has not wanted to do much for Christmas since my father-in-law passed, four years ago. Yesterday morning, I was reading her some of the posts on this page. She was so touched that she asked me if I would mind getting the boxes out of the storage barn and HELP DECORATE THE HOUSE, FOR CHRISTMAS!
Yes, folks… the house is now adorned in evergreen boughs, red velvet, and a tiny light-up village on a bed of white cotton snow.The tree is up, completely decorated with all of her most sentimental ornaments. She even mentioned wanting a new needle for her record player, so that she can play her Christmas records!
And all of this was because of Jenny, James Garfield, and the best Tribe, ever.
Holiday blessings to each and every one of you.
I need some extra help this year. I have 2 teenage boys- 16 and 15, a 9 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. We live in the US. I just hope I’m not too late to ask for help.

Christina Segundo —
When people click on Bryana’s list (2023), your name shows up. Christina Segundo. I’m sure you’ll tell us that’s someone else, but it’s a weird coincidence, don’t you think?
It’s sad how many of the comments in this thread are from you. I thought you had work all day today and for the next two weeks. Wherever do you find the time? The more you comment the worse you are making it.
I believe your kids are real. I’m glad they got gifts. Please just be happy about it and stop harassing people on this thread who are trying to donate to people who haven’t gotten anything yet.
Jennifer @ 2037, It was a late-night elf. See comments from earlier this morning.
Anonymous #2015, I remade the lists on American Amazon. (I switched some books, because some were more or less expensive on the USA’s Amazon.)

Elephant: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/8YVU848QHYAD?&sort=default
But before you buy any of them anything, you should know that a lovely lovely person has already bought a book for each of them! LouiseK, thank you so so much. They’re going to LOVE the books. Cheetah loves science and loves to read about women in science, so she’ll get a lot out of that book. Ladybug loves Steven Universe (it’s the only show she and Cheetah can agree on), so she’ll love the picture book adaption. Butterfly will be really happy to finally be able to read the Black Butler book she’s been missing. Jackrabbit LOVES Allen Ginsberg, and will be excited to have a copy of some of his poetry. Elephant has been really interested in reading The Politics of Fear ever since it came out, so she’ll be so delighted to open that book on Christmas morning. I’m really, really relieved that they’ll all have something to open instead of being without. <3 I’ve really enjoyed reading this blog ever since I stumbled upon it. It’s not only Jenny that makes it wonderful, though, it’s all of you. You’re all really good people.
While I’d obviously love for them each to get another book or two, I think everyone’s first priority should be the kids who’ve been given nothing yet. Merry Christmas everyone–you’ve all definitely made a lot of kids’ Christmases merrier.

Adding to my comment at #2091, since I see there are still a few people posting/reposting… so…if anyone WOULD like to donate an item for one of the three younger children (Anna has a gift of drawing supplies on the way…thank you, JGM Angel!), we will use the money we would have spent to purchase their gifts to ensure that the family is able to get an ample food basket instead. Thank you all, again.

Hi everyone!
First of all, thanks for reading and being willing to help others. You never know how much it may mean to the person on the other end. 🙂
Anyways, I am looking for help making Christmas awesome for my son and two nieces. I’m a single mom and work from home as a freelance writer. Every year around this time, my income drops dramatically. Probably because my clients spend differently during the holidays. My brother is also unable to buy gifts for his daughters, so I am hoping to be able to pick up the slack for him to help their mom out.
Christian is a 7-year-old boy who loves electronics and is learning to read. His list includes a Furby (his big “I want that!” item this year), and a few books I think he’d love. I also added a Pokemon winter accessories set.

I also included a coat that includes a scarf.

Thank you rich.! Mean alot to Me thank you again
Happy holidays from me and my little one
Anonymous when I clicked the link on 2023 a Bryanna Alan is in river oaks pops up.i am in fort worth.Please go back and look at what your saying before you ruin Christmas for someone else for your assumptions.
When I click on the link on #2023, I also see Christina Segundo, as the name.
Can someone please tell me if I did it right or if something is wrong with my list. this is the first time I have done some thing like this and desperate for help. When I asked for help on a nextdoor neighbor app the woman said she couldn’t help but told me about this. I see all these others getting help that’s posted after me and just wondering did I do something wrong.thanks and God bless my original number was 1817 thanks

MaraMirror, you are so welcome! I really was finished buying things, but when I saw your post, and you’re Canadian, and all your wish lists were for books, how could I ignore that? Have a wonderful Christmas! ❤️
I posted earlier for my nephews 2099, I just realized this might not be allowed, if it’s not I appologize, I’m not sure how to delete. Thank you and God bless.

I have a 8,11,&12 year old daughter’s. They r loving children who will share their toys…they have had a hard couple year. We have been thru a job being lost due to a plant closing and other things…we would greatly appreciate any help given the girls r grateful for all the little things in life.
I took a screenshot.on my side it says bryanna alanis,river oaks 76114
Unlikely Story @ 2064, Santa says the dinosaurs are on their way and should be arriving on the 15th and 20th. However, he does not recommend Neodymium magnets for young children. They are WAY too strong and can cause injury if one is not careful. Magnets are a very cool toy for inquisitive minds, but regular magnets are better for little ones.
Struggling Mama- Post 1549
Your last needs for a warm winter-boots and a coat have been purchased.
Merry Christmas from someone who has needed help in the past.
Hey, reposting in hopes that someone will see my comment I think I was comment #1862 originally.
Im a single mom of a 6 year old girl, I do have a job working in a state park, but since it is winter it is our slower months so I get laid off, I try every year to prepare as best as I can, but some years are harder than others.
Willow is wonderfully optimistic about the world, loves anything ‘kitty’ and wears cat ear headbands everyday, she loves to draw and has a wild imagination always making up stories, she loves to play with my makeup and wears high heel shoes as often as I will let her get away with it, even if she is wearing sweats! lol
Willow’s link is – http://a.co/dgwqVed
I have a 19 year old boy as well, but he will be away from home, he is a marine who came home in November for the ‘holidays’ and he understands how bills and life work and is okay with waiting until tax season lol.
Thank you all for taking the time to read, Merry Christmas!
NELLIE IVE JUST LOOKED AND I DIDNT HAVE THE ALLOWING THIRD PARTY TO SEND TO MY ADDRESS TICKED BUT I DO NOW SO IT SHOULD BE OK,THANK YOU
Can someone look at my wishlist please and confirm its working and everything on my list is acceptable please? I think its because im from the uk nothings been purchased yet does anyone know if there is something similar like this for uk? Thank you for anyones help 🙂
Posting from the UK. Not sure if my 1st post went through as couldnt find it so trying again.
Im a mum of 3 girls age 9,7 and 3. My “7” year old was sadly stillborn i found put whilst in labour. Im really struggling this christmas as im working but bills are eating all my wages as childcare is so expensive. I believe this is the last christmas that my oldest believes in father christmas so i want to make it special. I cant turn to my parents as they have both sadly passed too my mum was killed by a drunk driver and we had to turn my dads life support off,so my children obviously dont get presents off grandparents either just me and my brother &sister. This site is amazing and i cant believe the help and support everyone is giving each other. If anyone was to help even just 1 gift each for my girls i would be enternily greatful. Thank you and wishing every one as good as christmas as it could be xx
I posted before but the wrong link hopefully this works xx

Unlikely Story @ 2064, The elves found a more suitable set of magnets for your five-year-old. They are expected to arrive on the 15th.
I took screenshots earlier as well and all had Christina Segundo in the name slot over the lists. The Bryanna post did have Bryanna alanis under the “your friends” tab next to the avatar. Another had Christina Segundo Hernandez next to the avatar.
Bottom line folks, be careful and if you are hesitant Project Night Night is an awesome alternative.
Sorry also forgot to add i thought it was because certain items wasnt coming from amazon as to why it wouldnt let people ppurchase so i tooo items off and added items sent from amazon or fulfilled by amazon. Hope this is ok
(That’s totally okay. If things are listed as Amazon Prime they usually can be sent. If they aren’t fulfilled by Amazon it can cause problems. ~ Jenny)
Jenny, you’ve done it again! Made me cry. Rebecca #1290 a few gifts are coming. I hope there’s something for both kids. EJ #2017 a few things are coming for your neighbor. So kind of you to have thought about them. Merry Christmas to everyone in the Bloggess Tribe.
Jennifer @ 2037, Adding… you did not make a mistake. Santa keeps his own list and checks it twice. BTW, those joyful ugly cries with cookies n cream ice cream are the best for putting one in the Christmas spirit. I speak from experience. The comments here are a good catalyst as are the movies “Miracle on 34th Street” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
Thank you all for everything you do! This is an amazing expierence and I am so so so thankful for everything you all have done.
I just wanted to give a thank you to the angels that helped me get just about everything on my little boys lists. We hope to “adopt” another family on here next year or be able to gift items to families in need like ours next year or the years to come depending on our own situation right here. You are all such an inspiration and just thank you, thank you, thank you. My boys are going to have their Christmas from Santa because of you.

As you all know, Rudolph is very good at navigation. He just passed along a helpful tip for those who are trying to find things on this massive list of comments. If you press Ctrl-f on your PC (command-f on a Mac), it brings up a search text box. Type in the text you want to find and it will locate the first match and let you walk through subsequent matches.
Note that there are now two pages of comments. At the bottom of the page for the James Garfield post you will see a link to go to the older comments or newer comments depending on which page you are on. Merry Christmas.
We have 3 kids, teens lucky us haha no really they are very sweet kids. Its been a rough few years. We live with family because we lost our place and the kids have been troopers. They are asking for clothes and a few educational things. Thank you and God Bless this blog and all of you beautiful people. Even just knoeing this exists has renewed my faith in people!

Rich I just saw your comment. Thank you so much! I’m not sure if I should feel embarrassed, ashamed or just suck it up and let you know how much that means to me. I’ve never been in this situation and while I’ve never been able to help other families at Christmas I’ve never had to ask for help either. I wish I could reach through this screen and hug you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I just wanted to post one more time and say a big huge, thank you to everyone who got something for my kids. Packages have started arriving and I am finally actually excited for Christmas instead of dreading it. Thank you to everyone and I hope every single person that asked for or received help here has an absolutely fantastic Christmas! 💙🎅🎄
Dona #2114, a book, pajamas, and headbands are on their way. Merry Christmas!
Hello everyone.
I am in need of help for Christmas this year. We fell on hard times this year after I was medically retired from the Marine Corps after 11 1/2 years of service. I support my disabled mother (for whom I have been fighting to get her disability for going on five years now) my soon to be 16 year-old little brother, and my 10 year-old daughter by myself. My little brother doesn’t want any presents this year because he wants to make sure that my daughter gets Christmas (I was able to get two presents for them both before I was medically retired) so I’ve only add presents for my daughter on the list. She still believes in Santa and I would hate for this to be the way she stops believing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who helps us this Christmas.
Much Love and Gratitude,
Franny

Post 2076 can someone please let me know if I posted the right link to my wishlist?! I used the link on the share option it isn’t loading right for me when I click it but thinkin maybe its my internet I just want to make sure my kids don’t miss out on getting something just cause I’m stupid lol
Looked in my mailbox today to find a gift (Farkle Flip Card game) for my son, Christian. Not sure who sent it, but whomever you are thank you, thank you, thank you. I am beyond grateful! Every little bit helps, especially with my son’s birthday coming just a few days after Christmas (Dec.29th) He loves the Farkle dice game, so I’m sure he’ll love the card game. Thanks again and have a Blessed Holiday and a Happy New Year! From #1504
To Talia Walters: I just checked your link for post 2076 and it goes right to Amazon…Walter’s Wish List? I think you got it right! Happy Holidays!
Hello all and Merry Christmas, I’m reaching out in the hopes of making my daughter’s Christmas a little brighter this year. Her father and I are going through a divorce, so I’m now a single parent with a limited income who just recently moved into an apartment with my wonderful, smart, beautiful 17 year old daughter. She came to me recently and told me that I didn’t have to get her anything for Christmas this year cause she knows how “rough I’ve had it and that she is too old for Christmas anyways.” I disagree no one is ever too old for Christmas so I told her to make a list and I would see what I could do, I thank all you beautiful people in advance, and one day I hope to be able to return the kindness. The link is http://www.amazon.com Marie’s wish list
(This link doesn’t work. Can you submit a new one? ~ Jenny)
Thank you for doing this. I have had seasons of abundance where I have been able to give much to others. This year I am struggling and I thank you for providing a place to say that without shame. I am an artist and my partner and I own a small VR consulting business. We lost a sizeable contract that was carrying us through 1Q 2018 when our client failed to secure funding and we are struggling to hang in there until some new contracts kick in 1Q 2018. I have three kids still at home. Karen recently turned 18 and is M-F transgender in early stages of hormone treatment, is very self-conscious and has been dealing with severe suicidal depression recently and only wants a Spider-Man hoodie for Christmas. Veda is 16 and a very talented artist; she is also autistic and has been dealing with depression as well. Luka is 14 and has a seizure disorder and migraines; he is a super bright young man who wants to be an animator and has made 3 stop-motion films since he was 8.
My kids have a dad and they will get gifts from him; I don’t consider us to be as high a priority for your giving as those kids who will have absolutely nothing without your generous help. Yet I would so like, though, to be able to have a few gifts under the tree for them other than those I am making for them myself. The struggle of being a working artist dealing with also having severe depression and mood disorder issues is very real. Thank you so much for doing this, and I look forward to giving back in future years.

Macro70: Your link goes directly to the Amazon website. You need to go to your wish list and then cut and paste the link in your comment. Otherwise, people will not be able to find it. Jenny, also, gives real good instructions on exactly how to do it up above in main blog post on James Garfield Christmas Miracle 2017. Hope this helped, Good Luck and Happy Holidays!
Rich, #2116, Thank you so much! I didn’t know that about the magnets, so thank you for that, too! Adam will be so excited! I hope you have a wonderful holiday. 🙂
#1835 Esperanza, I took it as $60 total per child, if your list included items like coats or socks. It seems pretty fair that way. I put a lot of thought into our little list and tried to get a good mix of items that my girls needed and could enjoy on Christmas morning. It saddens me that people would manipulate a beautiful cause such as this! The abuse of other’s generosity and love is despicable to say the least.
Edit to post 2128. I didn’t look at the directions properly, I added two presents for my little brother on to it. Thank you again for anyone who can help.
Still Thankful,
Franny
I had a comment earlier but my list link didn’t work.

Good evening y’all,
Let me start off by saying this is truly amazing! I am a single dad with my beautiful little 6 month old girl Alexis. Her mother ran out on us and chose drugs over us, so I’m still learning all the daddy stuff and it’s hard! We are pretty tight since I pretty much work to pay for daycare and formula but we’re making it work. I could really use a little help with a box of diapers and palossibly a learning toy that I have selected. Thank you so much for your time and consideration in advance. God Bless

Hi. I don’t ever ask for anything in life. God always seems to provide enough, however, this year I was blessed with three beautiful grand babies and also have one that is 3 years old. Mamma and dad to baby girl are missing a lot of work because my granddaughter has a tumor on her head that needs constant monitoring and surgery next month, Daddy number 2 just started a new job and is barely scraping by with his toddler girl. Daddy number 3 was just laid off and mamma is still on unpaid maternity leave, and mamma number 4 is struggling to support her baby girl without daddy in the picture and we all have felt the blow this year! I, myself have had my hours at work cut in half due to “the season” so I am barely making ends meet. Right now, surviving has become a priority over toys and things for Christmas, so, anything would help! Thanks for listening… Michelle https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25YZ5E7IEQAKK?&sort=default
@grandpao #1590 I got everything on your list that I could. Books and a stuffed fox headed to Elle. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Christina Segundo. You did this last year as well, posing as yourself and others. I watched, other people watched your lists as you deleted items that were purchased and added more, and as new posts sprung up from another identity. And people kept buying. They bought a lot. It was heart-wrenching to see greed in the middle of all this beautiful generosity and goodwill, but I wrote Jenny and she told me not to let it get me down. She reminded me that the good is overwhelming. And I’m going to go with that, but not before asking you, in the name of all that is good, to please stop. I, like others, saw that the Bryanna account is attached to your name. Further, by saying that you saw an address, you outed yourself. Addresses are only shown to account holders.
Being a single mom is hard. Having a broken or non-existent relationship with the fathers of your kids is hard. People will understand that and Jenny’s tribe will empathize. Just be honest. Take the good gifts your children have been given, say thank you, and be gracious rather than dishonest. Please.
http://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1R0BGLO414GR3
Jennifer, your heartfelt gratitude is most welcome. Please do not feel ashamed. Most of us have experienced difficult times at some point in our lives and for those of us who want to be self sufficient it can be embarrassing to ask for a little help. I know because I’ve been there. And I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of many kind souls.
I think that forces beyond our control play a huge part in determining where we are at any given point in time. Of the billions of people on this planet, I’m sure there are a few billion who have worked harder than me or are smarter than me but they find themselves in more difficult situations. And even if we look back on our lives and see that we’ve made some bad choices, we have to accept that 1) we are human, and 2) we can’t foresee with perfect clarity where any given decision will lead us.
I guess what I am trying to say that that we all need each other and most of us know that joy is created both when we reach out to help others but also when we allow others to help us. Love your babies and help them become kind and charitable people and you will have repaid the love you have received many times over.
Unlikely Story #2135, you are most welcome. Children are the best and Adam is lucky to have such a thoughtful mom.
I outed myself by putting an address? I never put an address I said it shows river oaks,tx ..everyone can see the city and zip which is not even the city I live in.think of me what you will again I will be sending everything back to the senders.

(You don’t have an address assigned to this wishlist. Also, I suspect it will be ignored because you’re asking for a lot things far out of the maximum amount per kid. You’d probably have more luck if you stuck with just a few toys and clothes on your list. 🙂 ~ Jenny)
Hello!
First off I to thank you, this is an amazing thing you are doing! My husband is a disabled vet, but is thankfully still able to work, but it keeps him away from home for weeks at a time. We have 2 beautiful children, a daughter almost 6, and a 4 year old son. We are still struggling to get our bearings after moving across the country again, and would appreciate a little help this Christmas. Thank you!!!

In reference to Christina’s post 2105 – It’s funny how this morning your FB page showed YOU were from River Oaks, but now it says Fort Worth,
Thank you so very kindly for doing this for people in need. I was in a bind this year and did not know how I was going to finish up my children’s Christmas. I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/27I8QGEMXV03A?&sort=default
Reposting with a name since it seems Anymous is overlooked by what people are saying. Im just looking for a little help for my little girl and her littme brother. They’d love anything under the tree.

I am pretty late to the party, but my sister called and told me about this today, so I am going to give it a go. My name is Eric I was laid off a few months ago and things have been tough. My wife and I have 4 children (14, 11, 9, and 8). Right now we are depending on her income, not only has she been putting in extra hours, but she is in school as well. I know we are both stressing about Christmas, but I know my wife is stressing pretty hard. I made a list, only put three things down for each. Any help would be great. Thank you and God Bless.

Jessica M,
some things are coming your way.
Christina Segundo Hernandez (Pena, Jarvis) — here is the screenshot that strangers to your Bryanna account see. No city, no zip, but clearly your name. This will be the last I say on it. I truly do hope that your heart is touched this Christmas.
https://imgur.com/a/SVHnE
I hope so much that I am not too late for this. My husband was in a work accident almost six years ago — a car came through the building and hit him — inside — and initially the prognosis was good, but he never did get better. Work comp ran out and he tried for other benefits. We have been approved but the paperwork isn’t moving in time for Christmas. Our house is in foreclosure, we have a ton of medical bills, and this will be the third year I am really skimping on Christmas for our four kids (10, 16, 16 and 17). Anything helps and I’m so grateful for this post! It’s embarrassing to need help, but there comes a point where you suck it up and do it for your kids. <3

Rich, thank you. I was the lucky one. I know all moms probably feel this way, but my son is really a wonder. He’s sensitive but logical in his own quirky, four (soon to be five) year old way. He’s the kind of boy that if I played the Jimmy Kimmel Halloween prank on him would say, “Are you ok? Doesn’t your belly hurt?” I hope he always stays this sweet. He’s the light of my life.
Thank you again. His Christmas is going to be great! 🙂

Thank you so much. Each child will have 3 wonderful gifts to open and dad will have a new shirt (1 st new clothing in years for him) and a pair of warm gloves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If anyone is still looking on here a few gifts are left on lists. Also I despise this part but I have no pants for winter without holes in them. I put 2 pair on mom and dad list. Thank you all again,not just for helping our family, but for helping so very many!

Much love to all! Merry Christmas
Thank you to whoever the angel or angels that started getting stuff for Megan off the wish list. I am in tears and know she will have a good Christmas this year. I was so worried she would go to school and everyone talking about what they got for Christmas and she would have nothing to say. God bless yall and I hope to be on the giving end next year. This 13 year old with have a smile on her face for Christmas and that’s all I could ask for. You have also restored hope to her father who thought it couldn’t be possible. Words can not express how much we appreciate this.
My son use to do some boutique modeling now with this family. I’m pisting what the mom wrote on her page. Maybe a few here can help. They have very inexpensive items.
“We aren’t in need of anything this Christmas but maybe some healing prayers. We have everything we need in each other. BUT I’ve had quite a few people ask me to share this again. The kids didn’t ask for anything this year which makes my heart so happy, but they deserve a day to simply worry about being a kid…..this is a list we made of things we know they’d love to have. Once it’s purchased it disappears off the list. 💜

Thank you to everyone who continues to love our family. It’s been a long year with 5 Brain/Spine Surgeries, Bone and Hardware Infections, and Numerous Complications. Next year we will do it all again with Zavrick. But because of our friends we’ve felt loved the entire time. We are truly blessed. 💜“
(Looks like you have a ton of good stuff headed your way! Jenny)
As Day 4 ends, I want to talk to the folks who are struggling to give their kids a good Christmas. It’s going to be okay. It really is. We all want our kids to have the best of everything, but not only is that unnecessary, it’s not good for them in the long run. They have what they REALLY need – someone who loves them so much that their hearts hurt at the thought of not having packages under the tree.
What I want to say is this: you’re doing good. That’s not a grammatical error. You are doing good things by being in the life of this child. I grew up poor. I knew we didn’t have a ton of extra money, and some years my mom lost sleep because she thought that what she bought us was not enough, that we were going to be disappointed. But it’s funny. Thinking back, the Christmas’s my mom talks about that were the slimmest were, in the eyes of myself and my sister, the most magical. We didn’t notice that we didn’t have a dozen presents to open. All we knew was that Santa had brought us something so perfect for us that we couldn’t stop smiling. I remember the lights on the tree, the strands of “popcorn” on the tree that were actually foam packing peanuts (take THAT, Pinterest!), the silver-blue star that was tarnished but was the most beautiful thing in the world. I remember that my mom played games with us at Christmas, that we watched TV together, that we had cider sometimes as a big treat. I remember the Christmas songs played on the 8-track player that was long out-of-date.
So even if you aren’t able to give a lot of stuff, you give them what matters – you. You’ve got this, Mom/Dad/Grandma/Grandpa/Next-door Neighbor/Auntie/Uncle. You’re doing good, just by being there, just by showing up and loving these kids.
Always remember that you are #notalone. If you need to connect with another adult, maybe someone who is going through the same challenges or who has been there, or who will listen, come find us on Twitter. Just search the hashtag #BloggessTribe as a start. We’re here for you long after Christmas is over.
Hugs and candycanes, sweet friends.
(Amen. Times 1000. ~ Jenny)
Hi. I just made a wish list for my grandson Alex. He is 11 and just trying to cope right now. He has a lot of anger issues plus ADHD and some other things. Mom is doing her best to pay bills and keep food in the house and there isn’t much left over for anything else. Please let this little boy have Christmas if you can help.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/193MSWPMB82DO/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1
As of right now, my girls will not be getting gifts from me on Christmas. I made a small wish list with a few items for each girl.
http://a.co/a7svh3d
Lauren, thank you so much for the headbands, pj’s and book! Im sure she will love them! The cat headbands are an everyday accessory for her, and hers were getting quite worn, so to see some come from Santa and not have to wear the ones losing fuzz anymore will make her day! She is learning to read and loves pete the cat, we have read many of her stories so im sure this one will be a hit too, we will make it a bedtime story in her new pj’s 🙂
Thank you and Merry Christmas

We have 2 beautiful children, a daughter almost 6, and a 4 year old son. We are still struggling to get our bearings after moving across the country again, and would appreciate a little help this Christmas. Thank you!!!

James Garfield Wish List
Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2V2TICBPQ8KHW
To 2166 becomingcliche, your post had me in tears. Then I went to check my wish list, and every item was purchased. Within 30 minutes of my posting it. I am bawling. I know the people here are generous and (generally) kind, but this has really fucking rocked my world. Thank you all, from me and my kiddos.
I just got home from work and I am blown away. My sisters lists have been emptied by the Saint James Garfield elves. Thank you so much, I do my best to do right by my sisters, and it makes me so happy to know that they’ll have presents to open under the tree! I am so hoping that we are in a position to pay it forward next year and we will definitely be back to do so!
Thank you to those who bought cards for the board game for my kids and I to play on Christmas! They are going to flip when they see there are new cards and questions for them to discover! There is one more pack that I’d love to surprise them with if anyone would be so inclined. Again, despite the game’s title, it is a family-friendly trivia game!

To 2166 your post was amazing it had me wanting to cry!
I keep telling myself its not just about what I can get for my children this year but its about the memories we make with them that they can look back on. the hype for Christmas has turned into this awful mess of who gets the most and best gifts and that’s definitely not what its truely about
yes I want to be able to get my kids what they are asking for more then anything and we are having it rough this year that’s one reason I’m here tryin to get a little help in doin that.
I want to see their beautiful faces light up with joy when they see Santa came
I want them to feel the Magic of Santa bringing them what they have TRIED to be so good to get lol
BUT…also
Especially now as I’m an adult I know
20 years from now when they know Santa isn’t real
The harsh realities of how stressful Christmas is hit them (and it shouldn’t be that way but it is)
They WONT remember what toys they got or what they ask for and if they got it or not
BUT…
They WILL remember going to see the Christmas lights together
Snuggling up and watching Christmas movies
Making cookies with mommy
For my oldest son the Christmas cards I’ve even considered buying a box and putting them in the mailbox so he thinks someone sent them to him cause he’s wanting to get some. I guess the joy of getting mail..I still get excited about mail lol except bills ofcourse
I want me kids to look back and remember the time spent together and feel the love their father and I have for them and love Christmas for that reason
I do still also want them to have what they ask for tho lol
BEING AN ADULT AT CHRISTMAS KINDA SUCKS lol jk
I’m tryin to teach them what Christmas is all about and I’ll always make sure they kno the true meaning but at the same time they are kids and they want presents and they expect to get what they ask Santa for if they are good and boy they are definitely laying it on thick the older they get and the closer to Christmas it gets!!
I just wanted to he my feelings and thoughts out there this seems like a good safe place to vent
I hope everyone of you have a magical safe and loving Christmas!
I’m jot sure if I’m required to post this but I see most everyone else doing it when they post more then one comment my orginial post number is 2076
Jenni, I cannot thank you enough for creating the James Garfield Miracle. All of your hard work is so much appreciated. I know how difficult it is to live with anxiety and depression as they run in my family. My two oldest daughters, my father, and I are all receiving treatment and medication. My husband self-medicates with alcohol–he’s a functioning alcoholic, but after losing his job in August he has not been doing great. No insurance, so I am limited to what I can do to help. I have been stressing so much about Christmas this year and I am so grateful that each of my five daughters have received a gift through your list. They will all be so happy when they open the gifts.I am so grateful for you. Not just for what you do every Christmas, but for how you share your struggles and amazing stories every day. I look forward to reading them. You make me laugh and cry and feel better about myself. Thank you for being you.
And to the people who sent gifts to my girls, I haven’t received anything just yet so I can’t thank you personally, but I appreciate your generosity more than I can say. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/or whatever you may celebrate. Sending you all big hugs from North Carolina. May 2018 be a better year for everyone.
Hi, I am poster # 1542 , I was told that my list may have been overlooked due to how many items and the costs of them. Jenny did purchase a 6 pack of socks, which I had quantity of 2 and I had changed it to one. I have taken a lot of items off and hope this is much better. I am in desperate need of help this year and it was so hard for me to pick and find items within the cost range because my 2 boys are in the need of the most, especially clothing. I have deleted the items I think they could part . I appreciate all help and any help that can be given this year. I have had a rough year and just want to see some happiness this year. I changed the clothes to what my oldest needs which is a coat and hoody and 2 video games, although he does need more I realize he needs a coat and a hoody the most. I did not see how it is perceived by others with the clothing as I did which was different choices and prices. I apologize for my error and hope that I can still receive help for my 3 children this year. Thank you all for reading, Merry Christmas and thank you in advance for any help. Here is my revised list link http://a.co/bhyJycC
Thank you , Rachel
Thank you Jenny for getting my son a pack of socks, he really needs them. I revised my list and noted in my post that I had as well. I did mention you had purchased socks which I had the quantity as 2 and changed to 1. I really appreciate your help and words on why I may have been over looked. Merry Christmas to you and your and all here !
Thank you, Rachel #1542
Hi there! I was referred to this site from someone who it helped quite tremendously. My family and I are going through a financial emergency that has left us having to go through a GoFundMe just to keep our place to live and our lights on. I came from a very abusive relationship that left my children and I mentally and physically broken. My ex husband and I had split up but I didn’t have anywhere to go and was left to stay there in the same house as him. I eventually met someone who made me and my children very happy and my ex began to get angry and very physical with my children and I. I was scared for our lives and needed somewhere to go. One day it all blew up and my ex assaulted my son and I and he was arrested, allowing us to leave but we were without a place and left homeless and without anything at all. My kids and I found a place that let us move in but a month later, my boyfriend lost his job very suddenly and unexpectedly and we’re now having to scramble to make rent and the utilities, leaving it next to impossible to get my kids Christmas presents. It’s difficult to finally be free from a very abusive relationship and in one that not only leaves me very happy but one that makes my kids feel respected and loved, just to be stressed out and crying over worrying that we’ll lose our house this month. My boyfriend has a job lined up that begins next month, one that will change everything for the good, but it’s December that is leaving us having to come to terms with the possibility that it will be the first Christmas where we might have to skip presents for my kids.
It’s embarrassing to say the least and adding on the fact that our children will most likely not be able to get Christmas presents due to the very unexpected situation, we were told to come here. Thank you for reading this and thank you for everything that has been done for others as well.

This was a basic list my kids and I had made. Thank you again for your time.

Talia, you’re right, when they get older the things they will remember most are the time you spent together, not the toys they received. But that still doesn’t make it any easier to explain to the young ones why Santa couldn’t bring anything this year. I wish no parent was in that position.
It’s day 4 and my Christmas magic is almost spent, but if there are one or two things on your list that could be shared I’d like them to have something (I thought maybe the play doh or shark game would be easy to share with all ages). I’d also be happy to mail a few cards, I still love receiving special mail too 🙂
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves
I’m absolutely in love with your responses. And when I read the reason you help, i cried again. Bless you beautiful soul.
My mom(Kat Lovell-Pejic) commented up further a huge thank you. She’s the one who pointed me in this direction when she knew how much we are struggling. And she’s been my support with everything. I love that woman .
Also, I love your amazing Christmas spirit. You, (and the reindeer! ) are fantastic!
A quick message for Rachel @ rachelpoo81, posts 1542 and 1983…
You’re not forgotten. I think Jenny was right – sometimes it’s hard to unpick one big list. As a gifter, I find separate lists for each kid easier to manage. Or a list with clear names/ages in the comments, so you know that you’ve got one gift for each…
Anyhoo, your youngest now has pj’s coming, your middle has a t-shirt and your eldest has a pair of leggings.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! BeffyDee xxx
A message for simplydab / Donna, post 1267:
I got the big pack of Playdoh and some cutters for your kids I thought that would be a nice thing for them to play with together…
Merry Christmas, cherubs! BeffyDee x
Hi!
I am a single mother of two wonderful kids (one with a disability) and it has been the most difficult year of our lives. Thank you to everyone who does good for others. You ARE appreciated!

Anonymous. It’s wonderful that you’ve helped families out I truely can’t wait til I’m in a position where I can help my family plus others this time of year! I always give when I can what I can but usually not around this time of year sadly! I completely understand if you cannot get anything off their list! I honestly won’t be upset if nothing was received ofcourse if it was fulfilled I’d be ecstatic but if its not ment to be its not..if I’m making sense with what I’m trying to say lol I have kids running around me lol. But yes! A lot of the things on their list is stuff they all wanted like the game and playdoh and the girls wanted the shopping stuff and the hatchimals..all the girls stuff lol it was hard to do that for the boys cause of the age difference but HONESTLY anything would be incredible.thank you for even reading my post! Merry Christmas!!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

It was brought to my attention by the person that told me about this site. I need to clarify somethings. Megan that is 13 is in a size 18 woman’s jeans she is over weight and the jacket that is on the list is the size that will fit her. I know that some things say the 9th on my list and some say the 10th a originally had other items on the list that we’re a bit more money but what at the required amount. So I went and found cheaper things so that maybe more people would be inclined to help. The perfume and makeup on there is for her. I give her my makeup all the time that I don’t use but it’s not new and I just want her to have something that’s hers and wasn’t used before she gets it same thing with the perfume she never complains about used items but for once I wanted her to be the one to use it first. And then the items on there for roselynn is my daughter and although they are not books she is only 2 months old but I wanted to choose toys that she could still learn with. And the other items are jackets and warm clothes that she needs and shoes.she is always just in socks and I wanted stuff for her feet for her to be warmer thanks and God bless
To clarify somethings Megan is only 13 but is overweight the jacket is for her in her size.the other items is hers as well basic things teeangers want makeup and perfume.And the baby items are for my daughter all though they are not books they are learning toys so I can work with her and teach her only being 2 months. And the jacket warm clothes and shoes are things that she needs that I am lacking I choose those sizes so she will be able to use them for a little while. Also I know some items say the 9th and some the 10th I did have other items on there but I changed them today to cheaper items so maybe more people would want to help. But thanks to whoever already started taking things off the list.god bless
Amazon contacted me that some of the things I ordered cannot be delivered. I think they left a note and will try again. I hope it all works out because I am not sure what to do.
(That happens. Usually they try to redeliver or leave it on the porch or with a neighbor. It usually works out in the end. ~ Jenny)
I currently have custody of my grandchildren of my four grandkids and any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Anything will help. It has been a very big struggle this year and things are not looking up. Thank you for any help you can give. They will all be thrilled if they each get aomething new this year! I told them not to go wild. It looks like they’re picking out sensible things. Luckily, they’re all the same size intop and coats, so if they don’t all get what they picked, they can share my niece told me about this project, so I’m hoping someone can help in some small way. Thank you, and Bless every one of you.
**Update, three of the four have been bought for, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I still have one left and I’m trying to find ways to make money to buy them for her in case this doesn’t come through, but in case there’s any more goodwill left out there, I wanted to send out this request again. You guys are amazing. Thank you for all you’ve done up to this point.
Erica age 16, her toys are her tennis shoes. She said that she doesn’t need any toys or anything like that. All she needs are a pair of earmuffs, and a new pair of tennis shoes. She has added them onto her list.

Talia: play doh, shark game, and shopping g set are on the way. The shark game is out of stock but should arrive on the 20th, the other 2 on Wednesday. I hope these will help relieve some of the holiday stress and make even more happy family memories playing together.
I’ll get some cards in the mail this week 🙂
Thank you so much anonymous! It definitly does! And for the cards thank you! They will probably enjoy that more than anything!
Good Evening!
I posted the other day and wanted to try one last time. I have three wonderful and helpful teens looking for some Holiday cheer. My oldest has received one gift, my teenage daughter has 1 and her twin sister has two, I would love to see if I could get them evened out and each kid has two things to open on Christmas. They will also get a stocking I managed to get a few sweets to put in them for them.
My original post:
I am in need of a little help for my three teens. My oldest is a boy who is seventeen, he is looking forward to finishing high school so he can go on and get a degree he would like to work in the healthcare field. My youngest are twin girls who are both fourteen they share similar interests but are also opposites, one is very girly and the other is a tom boy. The girly girl would like a cardigan so she doens’t always have to wear her bulky jacket, and the tom boy has been having neck pains from her lumpy pillow so she asked for a new one. I also added one or two other needs or wants everything is pretty basic likes clothing and a want. This year has been rough because I had my hours cut at work. Earlier this year my kids grandmother passed away which was heart crushing for them because they spent a lot of time with her when they were kids because I worked so much to support them due to their father being absent in their lives they were always with her, they are all a little sad this will be the first year without her. Traditionally we would always go over to her house and bake tons of cookies, the entire kitchen would be full of goodies and baked goods and we would box them up and give them to everyone, we are still going to bake some cookies together but it won’t be like it normally is we will only be able to make them for us instead of giving them to people we know and I know the kids will miss her. If anyone could help make their Christmas I would be forever grateful. I have put together a wishlist for them as instructed, I think it went just a little over I tried looking for cheaper things but teens are hard to shop for. List: http://a.co/5TczufL Thank you in advanced to anyone who helps us out this website is amazing.

You’ll have new slippers for all six kids at least… Toasty toes are always good.
Merry Christmas. Sent with love xx
Hi again, I just received an email from Sarah asking me to add a few necessity and food items to my list, along with a gift for my husband and myself and repost it. So I have done that and here is the list one last time http://a.co/iwA96M7 Thanks again, so much for everything, everybody. 🎅🎄💙

Erica now has earmuffs at least!
Merry Christmas! Love form BeffyDee xx
Feeling bittersweet about this project right now, please help restore my faith in humanity. My sister in law / bf saw a FB post that linked to this page. She mentioned it to me and I convinced her to do it with me for the sake of our children’s Christmas. She was hesitant to ask for any help at all but I convinced her it was a sign from her husband and her family deserved the help and told her it would make their 1st Christmas easier. reluctantly she agreed, but only if I did with her. Our kids are very close and it just wouldn’t be fair I’d Santa came for only one of our familys.
She was concerned her children would find out if she used their home computer so we did it on my husband’s work laptop Friday night and used my husband’s Amazon acct to keep any of our kids from discovering our plans and getting their hopes up. My husband’s work frequently sends packages to our home so to avoid any suspicion we would have all packages delivered to my home and once they all arrived we would sort and wrap them together… we made our post and said a prayer.
When checked the list today #1546 I was so happy…. My family received a Christmas Miracle I was ecstatic… I was about to call Mica to tell her the amazing news, but when I clicked on her list all of my joy turned to heartbreak. Only 1 book had been purchased from her list # 1564. please you chose the wrong family.
My Kids lost their uncle but their cousins lost a parent. She already lost her husband and and my nieces and nephews lost there Father. I was shocked as to how this had happened and I can’t bring myself to tell her the truth. I am praying that this post is not to late.
After reading through some of the comments I realize our mistake in mentioning the shared amazon acct may have led some of you to wrongly assume I was being greedy and deceptive. Please forgive me for my oversight. I hope it is not to late to help her family. Honestly I would rather return everything purchased for my family and instead give her children a Christmas… We still have a father.
I am reposting the link to her family’s list below and am hopeful that her family will receive atleast a few of the gifts on the list.
In the spirit of Christmas and to be completely transparent 2 of the gifts are slightly over the 40 limit the 1st is a the Elegoo UNO starter kit, there is a less expensive starter kit (which I also have on her list) but it is out of stock and not expected to ship til after Christmas. Her oldest son (15) asked for this for his birthday last year, but when they lost their father 2 weeks before his birthday it just didn’t happen.
the leap frog learn to read system is 45 and is for my 8 year old niece whose struggles with reading. I picked this one hoping it would boost her confidence and give her the extra help she needs learning to read
Nearly everything on her list is educational and stem or creativity related to enhance their homeschool.
this is the link from her original comment # 1564.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1P7E80UH36876
(Looks like they have quite a few things coming their way. The less expensive starter kit came available before Xmas so I just sent it so you can take the other one off your list. 🙂 ~ Jenny)
To everyone that I’ve sent Reindeer to…you’re so very welcome!
To the rest that are worried that their lists are overlooked, please be patient and have faith. You may not get everything but based on the number of Elves and Reindeer running amok here, we’re doing our best to get your loved ones something.
Also, please remember that there is not an expiration date for giving and receiving. I get paid later this week so I plan to load up more Reindeer 😊 And again the week of Christmas SO you may need to explain to your loved one that Rudolph got horribly lost because his hooves can’t work a smartphone so he was without GPS ☺️😁
Also I have some reinforcements helping me as well. My phone texts me every time Amazon makes a delivery and yesterday and today my poor phone went berserk LOL annnd my boyfriend wanted to know who all the deliveries were for…
Him: what are you buying and for whom?!?
Me: umm toys, boots, coats, diapers from Amazon wish lists for kids for Christmas
Him: diapers? do you even know these people?
Me: nope…complete strangers
Him: complete strangers? I see and where do they live?
Me: Ohhh all over…Texas, Pennsylvania, Akron… various states…kinda lost track.
Him: Really? And you don’t know any of them?
Me: nope…oh and by the way, your Christmas gift from me this year went to some really great kids in Du Bois
Him: (stunned silence)
Me: their mom sent me an awesome picture of the kids sitting on Santa’s lap. Wanna see it?
Him: sure
So he looks at the smiling kids and then tells me to send my Christmas gift from him to someone so I did 😊 Merry Christmas, Me. It was the bestest present from him EVER that I never got 😀❤️ (One of the many reasons I love him so much 😍)
Also my Dad wants in…he’s sending me some money this week to load up more Reindeer as well.
It’s like James Garfield the Boar says, “It’s getting all kinds of festive in here, ya’ll” 🎄❤️🎁
(Beautifully said. ~ Jenny)
Thank you so much beffydee ! I am very grateful and wish I did separate lists, I think I will go back and comment on the items , some I did but deleted trying to downsize my list. I am happy to know at least each of my children have clothing coming, which is really needed the most with the cold now approaching. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas this year! <3
Karen that is simply amazing lol! Your an incredible person and it seems your bf is as well I truely can’t wait til the year I can get on here an help as many people as I can!!<3
Not sure if my post was overlooked (#1606). I did have one clothing item for each of my boys, but took them off in case that was thought to be too much. I did still include Christmas pj’s. That’s a tradition we have every year to open pj’s on Christmas Eve, and I would so love to still be able to do that this year. Other than that, they just have 2 things each. So hoping that someone is able to help us give our boys a small Christmas this year.
We have 3 children, a 16 yo, a 22 month old and a 4 month old, all boys.The youngest was a surprise baby. I had some complications during the pregnancy that affected him, and he ended up having to be in the NICU for 3 weeks. Needless to say, the medical bills are pretty substantial, and we are trying to figure out a way to pay them off. Our 22 month old is developmentally delayed (likely due to autism, but can’t definitively test for that as of yet), so he needs speech and behaviour therapy. On top of that, my parents ended up having to move in with us shortly before the baby was born, so we now have 2 extra people to support (though the help with the babies is a blessing). My husband and I both work full time, but we just can’t seem to keep up with the bills and everything needed in day to day life.
Christmas is my favourite holiday, and we usually try to spoil the kiddos, but this year it’s looking like we really won’t be able to get them much of anything. If we can give them just a couple of things, it would be amazing. If anyone is able to help, we would be eternally grateful. Thank you so much for this opportunity. ❤

I received a book for my godson and a plush kitty for my goddaughter today and I look forward to receiving the two truck books for my nephew! I am so very touched by the generosity! I didn’t want my financial situation to prevent me from giving the kids in my life a gift this year and I no longer have to worry about it! Thank you to those who contributed!!! I imagine this means even more for those parents out there who worried that their children wouldn’t have anything to open on Christmas morning. I would love to have one more item for each of the kids in my life, they are so accustomed to being showered with gifts from their auntie/godmommy, I am posting my link one last time just in case anyone would like to contribute. Thank you again to everyone for your generosity towards me and all the other people who asked for help! I love to see so much kindness at work! I am usually the one trying to help others out at Christmastime and it wasn’t easy being on the other end of the equation this year, I’m just so grateful for this chance to make my nephew and godchildren happy this Christmas!!!

Cuddled up watching gummy bear Christmas movie with the kiddos before bedtime. Gosh I love these mean ass kids so much lol I’m truly blessed! Merry. Christmas everyone enjoy the little things while they are still young and want to do them with you!! my oldest is almost 7 he wouldn’t hug me in front of the bus the other day incase someone saw…I was heartbroken lol
We received a book today for my little girl and my heart is full. I can’t thank you enough for your help and generosity. I was feeling like a big loser being unemployed and making my family have such a hard time, especially during the holidays. You folks are good people. Many thanks to you all. I was post #1486.

BeffyDee THANK YOU ❤️
No bother at all, Rachel (@rachelpoo81). It’s genuinely an honour and a pleasure. <3

Hello. We posted individually but I’m writing to thank you together. There are 8 families that received help. 2 that are keeping their fingers crossed that Santa sees them. We all have stories. Most of us fled domestic violence, one house burned down, and another has been homeless since a teen. We are all in transitional housing from homelessness. We work and go to school via program requirements. We all have very little and Christmas wasnt going to happen… Or so we thought. I read Jennys blog religiously and one of her books has stayed in my bag the entire time. I thought we had to at least tried. Everyone made their lists and posts. So many received help. Because of where we are in life we dont believe till we see it. Today a box came! A pink dumpster! Santa is real! We are hoarding the box in he office. Praying none of the cancelled orders were ours. Tamara and Elizabeth have received no help yet. Hope holds out.
Elizabeth has been homeless since she was sixteen. She is on her feet now and a educational major. She has 2 small children a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. Her wish list is here- Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SBT4V2QU6ZY5
Tamara’s husband left her and her kids high and dry. They lost their home and lived in a hotel for months. She is working in a daycare as a caregiver and graduates this program in May! Her wishlist is- Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2GQ3BBJFG0CMJ
If any one can help it would complete our Christmas miracle. Thank you. If you want to contact me my email is hopetennisgirl@gmail.com
It was me, I forgot to add my name Alexandra M 🙂
Thank you so very much BeffyDee. My babies will be so happy!
Karen one of Santa’s many elves – you are a true angel 😇
I am so thankful for the people that purchased a few items from my daughter. Two things she really wanted and one that she really needed. I could never say thank you enough! I don’t want to sound greedy, but I made a list of what my niece and nephew want for my sister. She has had a very rough year with two Little’s ones and a loss of another one last year. I wish I could purchase everything they have ever wanted. I thought it couldn’t hurt to try and get them a few things. Three year old girl, 9 year old boy. They have been through a lot and never ask for anything from anyone. If this is not appropriate I will delete immediately! Thank you so much, this is amazing!

(You don’t have a shipping address assigned for this list. ~ Jenny)
Alicia #1938- I cannot begin to thank you enough. Your purchase means so much, more than I can adequately express. Merry Christmas, and much love in return. ❤️
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves #1951-
Thank you and the reindeer for bringing joy to our home with much needed winter items and fun things to light up the girls. They will be ecstatic, and I am forever thankful.
I do ask that you please check your order. For each thing that you purchased, it says “Quantity 1, Has 2.” I think it may have accidentally doubled your order, and while I appreciate your generosity, I don’t want you to be overcharged, so I understand if you need or want to cancel.
I have been crying off and on for two days. This is amazing, and I just don’t even have words anymore to be able to thank our Santas/miracle makers as much as they deserve. My heart is overflowing.
I hope that Karen, Alicia, and even our anonymous givers have included a way for me to send a thank you and photo of the girls. I know you did not do this to receive thanks, but I want to give it. If you didn’t include it on Amazon, but would be fine with even an email, I can be reached at acsimmons831@yahoo.com.
So you all know, even though we don’t have much, we are planning to pay it forward. We have begun collecting good condition outgrown toys and clothes and messaging people who could use it this holiday season.
I will never, ever forget this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Angie (#1581/1761/1925)

Thank you for helping me get my baby girl some things for Christmas Merry Christmas Rich.!
If there are any elves out there who are still interested my friend just told me about this wish list. A little about us: I have four children, three girls and a boy. The girls are tweens/teens who are into fashion, makeup and hair. I’d like to help them focus on hair rather than makeup so added some new tools to the list. They are great girls and a real help to me around the house. My son is the only boy and the youngest. He loves anything to do with the outdoors. Last summer his uncle took him fishing And he was hooked (lol). I’d love to encourage this outdoor activity. Now if only my girls would want to still play outside! Thank you for taking a look at the list. Anything would help. I don’t think the kids expect much under the tree after we had to leave our home and move in with my mom. I am doing my best to shield them and this would go away toward helping with that. Thank you. Jules
John #2206, I found Cupid in the corner playing with a school bus and reading several books 📚 Silly Reindeer. He’s on his way to you. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Um, not so good with computers…I forgot the link! Thank you again.

There’s just a couple things left..
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2Z4SGWNT3XWJM
Its been rough this past year being homeless single mother to my beautiful 2yr old daughter Evangelyen.. Things are slowly starting to get brighter with a roof over our head no job yet so no income feeling down just wanted my baby to at least have 1 present for Christmas this year so i would be beyond extremely grateful for the help anyone can do …happy holidays
Haha Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves, i find now did myself wishing i had money, not to buy my own kids stuff, but to help find the reindeer and the elves. 😉 also, this post and these comments have cheered me up so much, i managed to put enough things together to make cookies for the kids. 😉
***fund
I posted my lists for my children a few hours ago but i don’t see the post. Should i repost or wait?
(Note from Jenny: Actually, it was in moderation because it had more than six link on it so I’m posting it again here and I’ve sent a gift for each child. Original comment: )
:I was trying to hold off to see if things in our world turned around. But alas they didn’t. My husband is a US Veteran and has just gone back to work outside the military and we found out he has to have surgery this Thursday and next Tuesday, so he will be out of work for the duration of the holiday season with no paycheck. Our year has been quite a roller coaster, I have been fighting cancer for a year and we found out our daughter is partially deaf. But this year we found out that she also is Autistic. She is such a wonderful child she makes me smile when i just don’t think i even have it in me. Our five year old that has Cerebral Palsy has been being bullied at school, this is very tough situation for me because all you want to do as a parent is protect your children and all i want to to is pull him out of school. All of our 6 children are wonderful kids and I love them all very much. But I know I came in late but if you can find it in your hearts to get my children their christmas I would be eternally grateful.

Reposting my list an anonymous said she gifted a couple for my older ones but hoping to be able to also get atleast one thing for my 1 year old! If not its certainly OK but I want to know myself I tried again for him!! Also they would still love to receive Christmas cards!!! It really makes me feel great seeing all you elves and helpers on here I just wish I was in a position this year to be on the helping side merry.Christmas!
Talia walters | December 10, 2017 at 11:04 am
I just wanted to start by saying I think this is amazing! I was able to help someone a couple of years ago and it felt so great. Sadly I’m on a differnnt end of this is year. We are a family of 6 and live in ky my husband works very hard out in the water and cold year round to support us but we are having a tuff time this Christmas and if anyone could help you have no idea how much it would mean to us! I do not by any means expect everything on their list to be purchases. I let them pick out their own items I wasn’t sure exactly how it works but I only made one list and out all their names and items there. Also I’m not sure if this is allowed but my oldest was asking me why we don’t have a bunch of Christmas cards like this friends family has put up in their house ..we don’t know many people and I couldn’t tell you the last time we received a card from anyone lol but he’s wanting Christmas cards and they looooove getting mail to open I may be crazy for putting this out there but if anyone would be interested in sending them a card please do! You don’t even have to sign it I just know they would enjoy getting them and hanging them on the wall! Again I just want to say how truely amazing this all is!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Leaving carrots out for them. And maybe some apples. 😉 my 5 littles all love to make sure the reindeer are fed. Well, 4 do. The youngest one hasn’t gotten that privilege yet.
You are super fantastic!
Talia please don’t post your address. You’re a mother, anyone can see this. Kim, delivery was attempted twice.
M I honestly didn’t even consider the consequences it could cause if anyone harmful saw it. Guess I’m too trusting of people lol but it’s my parents address and I did ask their premision to use it on here and for my wish list address cause I have a p.o. box and wasn’t sure if you could use that on Amazon but now thinking about it it would of been best to have atleast used it for the request of Christmas cards. I’m sorry
Gotcha, not trying to be a downer, but that scared me. Glad to know it’s someone else. Stay safe and happy holidays!
Little ones are so looking forward to Santa coming and there are not the funds to provide. Girl 7 loves crafts Boy 4 loves to build.
I was #2157. Just wanted to make sure i did this right the first time.
I am pretty late to the party, but my sister called and told me about this today, so I am going to give it a go. My name is Eric I was laid off a few months ago and things have been tough. My wife and I have 4 children (14, 11, 9, and 8). Right now we are depending on her income, not only has she been putting in extra hours, but she is in school as well. I know we are both stressing about Christmas, but I know my wife is stressing pretty hard. I made a list, only put three things down for each. Any help would be great. Thank you and God Bless.

Hi all! I have no idea if there is still time for help or if any help is still available but I recently found out about this wonderful group. My husband and I are struggling this holiday season. We’re doing the best we can with our bills financially but since our entire pay is put towards keeping a reliable car up for our children, food to eat and keeping a roof over their heads we’ve had nothing extra to spend on them this holiday season. It’s the first time we’ve been in this position. I know that gifts aren’t the reason for the season, but it would bring such a joy to see my kids with a present under the tree. We have two boys, a 7 year old and a 2 year old. Thank you so much for reading this. I truly hope and pray that next year we can pay it forward and help someone else in our position now.

Thanks, I was starting to feel bad. Have a good holiday!!
GAH!!! I’m way late to the party but hoping there is still time to put this out there. I am a single mother of a wonderful, brilliant, loving, hilarious 7 year old boy for whom I will never be able to give everything he deserves because he deserves the world. Between keeping food on the table, a roof over our heads and clothes on our backs there is rarely anything left over and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who’d be willing to help us out this year. Thank you to Jenny for doing this! This is a wonderful lifeline for those of us in need during this time of year and a beautiful reminder of the love, decency, generosity and compassion possessed by humans in general and THIS TRIBE specifically, which I think we all need! XOXO, love to all of you!!!

Originally post 356 (I think) I originally did not include a list for my daughter because she turned 18 in September but I had her put a list together anyways. I didn’t say why……so the sweet girl had to be pushed to do so because she said she’d rather see her brother who still believes receive knowing how tight things are at the moment with the horrible few weeks we have had. I tried to post before but I didn’t do address thing right. Hope this is ok. Thank you again to the Santa’s who got things for my boys.

I told myself I wouldn’t post more than once but I am posting one more time. I looked over my lists to see why they may be overlooked. I don’t really see anything out of the ordinary on them. I was originally post 1503 so not too late to the game lol. May just be God’s way of telling me there are children out there who need it more than mine.

I got bored so I have been reading through all the posts ! Do you guys know how many lists are empty ? As in presents bought ? How many kids are going to have a Christmas because of this tribe ? This is so mind blowing ! There are a few lists that caught my eye but I am not posting links. I am not endorsing them in anyway. If you want to look the numbers are :
1278 (14yr old is just getting a lapel pin)
1307 ( 1 gift per child)
1277 ( 8 kids, some with gifts, some not)
1303 (baby has one gift)
Saddest one though is 764. Even Jenny had commented on that one. There is no address. Wish there was a way to contact her !
But like I said , not endorsing them. Just noticed things (dates haven’t changed and things haven’t been added since the posts)
But it is still mind blowing ! Anyone else get bored, and see anymore ?
Rebecca 2255 – wipes, socks and a play set should be arriving shortly. I didn’t see much listed for your older daughter. Is there anything you want to add for her? I’d love to send a second package! <3
Lisa #2252 – Just picked up the three items at the top of AJ’s wishlist. I hope your little artist enjoys! Here’s to a Merry Christmas for both of you! <3

Good evening and Merry Christmas! I have three kids that I made a list for. Followed the guidelines and stayed within budget for each child. I did add one food treat for my lactose intolerant kiddo who really misses sweets. They are usually out of my budget but would make her Christmas morning.
Thank you for doing this. Never in a million years would I have thought I would need to ask. What you are doing here Jenny is such a blessing, and makes me feel less alone in my struggles.

I picked up a few things, hopefully someone else can help with the rest, I hope your family has a blessed holiday and that things pick up for you in 2018!
EDIT Tamara has 2 things left on her list but Elizabeth has had nothing sponsored for kiddos.
Hello. We posted individually but I’m writing to thank you together. There are 8 families that received help. 2 that are keeping their fingers crossed that Santa sees them. We all have stories. Most of us fled domestic violence, one house burned down, and another has been homeless since a teen. We are all in transitional housing from homelessness. We work and go to school via program requirements. We all have very little and Christmas wasnt going to happen… Or so we thought. I read Jennys blog religiously and one of her books has stayed in my bag the entire time. I thought we had to at least tried. Everyone made their lists and posts. So many received help. Because of where we are in life we dont believe till we see it. Today a box came! A pink dumpster! Santa is real! We are hoarding the box in he office. Praying none of the cancelled orders were ours. Tamara and Elizabeth have received no help yet. Hope holds out.
Elizabeth has been homeless since she was sixteen. She is on her feet now and a educational major. She has 2 small children a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. Her wish list is here- Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SBT4V2QU6ZY5
Tamara’s husband left her and her kids high and dry. They lost their home and lived in a hotel for months. She is working in a daycare as a caregiver and graduates this program in May! Her wishlist is- Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2GQ3BBJFG0CMJ

First of all I apologize if I sounded ungrateful in my last post # 2199 & 1546. I’ve spent the last 2 hours reading over all the comments and am amazed by the generosity of everyone, so many familys have been helped and hundreds of Christmas Miracles performed. Please accept my sincerest apologies for being harsh.
I truly am overjoyed for the anonymous elf #1551 that selflessly donated a Christmas for my children. I didn’t realize how quickly you acted til I read over all the posts. you purchased everything in less than ten minutes of my post. simply Amazing. before Mica even posted her list I wish there was someway I could return the favor.
I was overwhelmed with guilt to have received such a wonderful gift while my sister’s family was all but overlooked. After sometime to reflect on the situation I realize that I should have been more patient. I will wait and see what happens. Life is full of twists and turns and they all serve a purpose.
I will not be sending anything back but will instead pay it forward by donating our gifts to her family. thank you so much for this opportunity and
Merry Christmas to all.
I wanted to post once more, in hopes that there would be a late-arriving Santa who would like to help us out.
A kind soul has provided a gift for the oldest girl, in the family we are seeking extra help for. We are still hoping someone would be willing to donate one gift, apiece, for her three siblings (age 7 and 5-year old twins).
Thank you.

I think my comment got lost…
I am in need of a little bit of help this year, my fiance and I have 5 kids combined in our wonderful blended family. We hit a rough patch and he just started his job, we have been living off of his retirement check from the VA for the last two years and Christmas has always been a struggle. We have an 11yr old girl, a 9 yr old boy, a 6 yr old girl, a 4 ur old boy, and we just added a beautiful baby girl to the mix on 11/02/2017 much to our surprise and joy which is why you’ll find wipes and clothes on the list. Thank you for helping here is our list http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/13Q5QVBUXSCRE
Hi giftees, a couple of people have posted that they haven’t gotten anything, but when I check the lists there are things that have been purchased. If you’re looking for them to disappear from your list rather than checking by the “purchased” filter, you might want to go to “List Settings” on the right side of the page and check your “Surprise/Spoilers” settings. If I remember this right, it’s set to “don’t spoil my surprise” by default, so things remain on your list even when purchased.
To the gifters….you are all so awesome! (Hug to you, Rich!) Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
Tess #1561, 2199 and 2267- Five books and the board game set are enroute to Mica now. I admire any child who wants to learn backgammon! Please don’t feel guilty for voicing your concern for your sister’s family. The holidays are a stressful time for all of us. I hope knowing that all the kids will have things to open on Christmas morning will renew your faith in Jenny’s Army and in the magic of James Garfield’s Miracles. Love to you and your family. <3
To the wonderful angel who gifted the game to the kids… THANK YOU, SO MUCH!
I would usually be one buying gifts not asking for them, but this year is different. My husband has filed for divorce after 15 years together because he does not believe in monogamy. I had a major panic attack because i have been a stay at home mommy to 3 beautiful children…aged 13, 9, and 4, for the last 10 years. I have spent the last 2 and a half months in a residential treatment facility for anxiety and depression. I will not be home for Christmas and I have no income. I don’t want them to be disappointed. Thank you.

Hello again. My name is Rachel(#2014), most know me as Chelody. Im really just hoping for jackets for my girls, we are socal, so lightweight is cool. I picked out ones in their colors on my list (Z is a 3x, red is her fave; S is a 2x, purple), and some shoes for the baby boy (he’s 3 and has size 10.5 wides), because he’s outgrowing his hand-me-downs faster than his cousins. I added some hair and makeup stuff the twins have been drooling over, and some toys the boy would love.
My twins are adhd and both have mdd like me. Z is the most thoughtful and insightful 16yo i have ever known. She just started working and told me she wanted to give me $ for home expenses and take the family out to eat after she got her first paycheck. S wants to be a chef and cooks family dinner for everyone at least 2x a week. Both can be ‘normal’ teens, but are amazing with their baby brother. Lil T is the light and heart of our home. His daddy is the laughter.

Leslie (#194) – I got notice that the owl has been delayed. It’s now scheduled to arrive between December 22nd and January 9th. I hope it does make it to you by Christmas!
I’m not sure how, but either mine didn’t post, or it got lost somehow. I have two teenagers, a 13 year old girl who loves coloring, has just started to learn doing needle craft, a sixteen year old son, who is into sports, which with my luck are on the rather expensive side, so I won’t ask for help in that. And I have an eight year old who loves coloring, so I’ve added the coloring for him and the thirteen year old, and the needle work for my thirteen year old. I tried to find some cheap jackets for them but I couldn’t find anything that was on the cheap side or I would have added them. Thank you so much for all your help. I am a single mother doing this on my own so it really isn’t easy, so thank you for any help that is given.

Hi, I’m not sure if my comment posted earlier and I cannot seem to find it. I need help with my 3 more old and 3 year old daughter this year as funds are tight as we are just getting back on our feet. Happy holidays.
Hey guys, single dad of one here just hoping for a christmas miracle if there are any elves left working.
I have a 6 year old daughter who could really use some gifts under the tree.
We had to relocate earluer this year to help out my elderly parents and things jave been pretty rough since then. Im sure something will eventually come through but for today I could really use a helpinghand or two.

I’m posting on behalf of my brother’s kids – one girl and two boys. I bought them new jackets for the winter but funds are a little tight to get more than that. I would so appreciate if an elf could help bring them some holiday cheer.
Beffydee, Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas!
I wasn’t sure what to pick, but it would be fantastic to give my kids SOMETHING for the holiday. They aren’t expecting anything, so it will be a nice surprise for them.

Hi, there are still a few things on the wish list left for megan….jacket, perfume and makeup if anyone would like to please help her. And my daughter roselynn’s stuff is on there as well she is still in need of warm clothes and toys thanks and God bless
y unlikely story that is YOUR account look at the top not mine.Im on Amazon on my phone and don’t even have a computer and it doesnt give me the option to friend anyone.Very sad you would ruin someone’s Christmas being with your false assumptions.Again I am not anyone other than who I posted I am on here.Christina Segundo hernandez, Pena is my previous married name and Jarvis is my maiden name.again all gifts are being returned however you seriously need to get a life because you are playing detective on your own friends list.I wish I knew how to post mine here because it will show on my Amazon I don’t even have an option for that.It clearly says YOURS..Sad you would take away from a child in need because y think someone is someone else.
Could use a little help this Christmas. We have two teenagers. A 15 year old boy and a 16 year old girl. Thank you to anyone that is able to help.
Hello, name is Monique and I have 4 kids, Lexi(14), Paige(12), Chase(10) and Tyler(7). A friend of the family had made me aware of this beautiful page. Before my comment I had read a lot of the comments and I must say Karen you are a sweetheart! We’re going through a rough time right now and not just financially but emotionally. There was a 19 year old trying to talk to my 14 year old for reasons I would rather not even discuss but I’m sure you guys understand what he was trying to do and I made him stop so he got mad and killed our Great Dane and German Shepherd out of pure hate. Broke my children’s heart. It tears me apart I can barely afford rent and food as a single mother and barely able to make ends meet but to see them just crushed because their dogs are dead and I really hate having to add to that depression with a Christmas without any gifts. This would seriously make my world and theirs. I have done a list for each child separate so it wouldn’t be confusing for what gift was what. Thank you so much!!!

Ahh and if I can add when I made this account it was on a computer awhile back..if that truly was my friends list like you say it is where is the Brian gains showing up on there??? Brian gains was the only friend on my Amazon and should be because I don’t have an option through my phone to add.However the picture you posted only shows Bryanna alanis and not the only friend I ever added Brian hains.So might want to check YOUR friends list since that’s what it clearly says..If it was mine it would say Christina friends.however it doesn’t it says YOURS…YOUR LIST,YOUR FRIENDS,ECT.
Have a nice day
Hi, my name is Cassandra. I’m a mother of 3 beautiful amazing kids. I have a 4 year old boy name Zane, a 3 year old boy named Ryder, and a 8 month old girl name Serenity. My kids are my everything. We are currently in a rough spot in our life’s and my husband, the kids father, lost his job last month that he worked at for the past 5 years. So has of right now I’m the only one working as a waitress. We Barley made enough for bills this month and we have no way to get Christmas for our kids this year. I would greatly appreciate any help for their Christmas this year. Next year I plan on being able to help out other families as I no how it feels to not be able to get your babies the Christmas that they deserve. So in this comment I’m going to post Zane’s, Ryder’s and Serenity’s Christmas wish List. Anything helps. Thank you so much for this opportunity to give my children Christmas this year and I hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves you are amazing. I want to be just like you when I grow up. Say hi to Santa and the reindeers! Merry Christmas!
Received packages on Sunday. Thank you all again so much.
Hello wonderful amazing people. Someone told me about this and I thought I’d add my list in hopes my children may get a Christmas present. We don’t even a tree this year. In September I had my beautiful baby early and although she got to come home with me we’ve had alot of issues keeping her weight up. She’s just now in newborn and finally found a formula we have to pay out of pocket for. With bills formula and Medical bills we can’t afford Christmas for our 2 children. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3EHY9L39VLKBY
Jocleyn 2260 I added something she’s really been wanting to the list. Thank you so much as I read you’re comment and a tear came to my eye. Thank you for helping me and my babies. ❤
PLEASE HELP. WE ARE BEGGING ANYONE.
I know I have posted before, but I’m desperately seeking any help for our family this year for Christmas. Its been such a hard year. In June my husband was involved in a horrible motorcycle accident right in front of our children and myself, he was air lifted to the hospital. 4 hours later he was released while screaming about pain in his leg, they never checked his leg. 2 days later his leg gave out in the bathroom of our home and smashed his head. It took them 4 more weeks to finally check his leg only to find all of the cartalage was ripped in his knee. When he fell and hit his head it caused pseutosezieurs. Tonight while taking down the trash he collapsed and began to seizure, they wouldn’t stop coming. We called 911 he stopped breathing twice. He is being monitored again. He is the main bread winner in our family. I just have gone back to work because I had 2 hip surgies. Our kids are not picky what so ever. We just want them to be able to open something/ anything on Christmas Day. Please. :,( I really don’t know where else to turn. I know so many people have come forward to help others and that is absolutely beautiful. I’m hoping to be chosen for our babies. Thank you and god bless. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/35V9BL9HA2LMP really in the need of Christmas cheer for my 19 year old daughter and my 9 year old son. They both really love to read so I added kindle to their list. Just something they can really like and enjoy
I would like to thank the persons who purchased the coloring book, unicorn purse, and colored pencils. Feeling really ashamed about asking since I was able to help out last year, and had received help for an agency that I’m not with anymore. The JGM always renews my faith in humanity. This year, I’m sheltering a few kids after their mom was evicted. I’m giving her some time to get her act together, while the kids live with me. All the kids have cognitive disabilities, so it’s hard on me and them. There is no state involvement specifically because I stepped up prior. But, now it’s tough to make ends meet. You know how much 4 teenagers eat? Hint, it’s a lot. Add in their 3 small dogs and I’m going a bit nutso. Prices went up on a lot of things on the wishlist, so I deleted quite a few things from the UNPURCHASED list, and then found and added back a pack of hotwheels (again, it wasn’t purchased, and bonus, now it’s cheaper and has prime shipping attached…again). Luckily, the girls like crafty stuff, and most of the items can be shared between them. I’m really bad at math, so I think it’s pretty close to the limit. Anywho, thanks for helping. I wish I was in the position to help this year.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/363G927ISHQAM
If there are still any elves out there looking to help, we could use it. I thought we would be okay getting the kids’ Christmas gifts this year, but if it’s not one thing, it’s another, and our heating went out, just as it was getting really cold. This is Louisiana, so thankfully “really cold” is only 20s-30s, but even here, heat takes priority over presents and the repairs took a big bite out of our budget, so now we’re scrambling to do what we can with only one paycheck between now and Christmas.
I have three kids, and made one simple wishlist that covers all three. My daughters each have one item and my son has two, all equaling out to about the same amount. I know how Amazon is with constantly changing stock and prices so I’ll try to keep an eye on the list, but please let me know if an item has sold out or has rocketed up to some crazy price over the limits, and I’ll switch it out for something else.
Huge thanks to any and all who can help out, and may you all have a wonderful holiday season!

I don’t know who helped us but thank you, thank you, thank you! Some books and some plushies and much needed socks are on they’re way here for Christmas. Just the relief in knowing the Christmas tree won’t be bare means so much to us. I told my husband some kind person got our little girl presents and he teared up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You just don’t know what this means to us!! <3
@jenny Thank you for sending a gift for my children. And my husband did your lovely gift help last year he told me to put each child separately so that everyone knew who they were gifting for. I do apologize. But again thank you. Loyal follower for many years, open my email everyday hoping to have a post from you in it, thank you for being you.
From original post 2170
I want to thank whoever purchased the pack of books I had picked for my son. We have a nightly routine with him and his sister where they each pick 2 books that we read before bed. They will both appreciate this gift (even if they are ninja turtle! Hehe) This entire thing is a blessing and when I saw that the books were bought I cried. We have been struggling so much especially with my son. His behavior has been out of control for a 4 year old, lashing out, just so much frustration and the only answer he can give is “I don’t know” and I feel his frustration and I feel his sadness and it kills me inside. He is already in special ed and is now being evaluated by a behavioral health person. I already know he is going to struggle deeply with ADHD and possibly more as I did as a child and still do as an adult. People always tell him if he isn’t good that Santa won’t come, what they don’t understand is he can’t control these behaviors sometimes and just needs help. So these books and hopefully the other gift for him and gifts for his sister will show them that regardless, he IS a good boy, and that Santa is real. Thank you all again so much!

My daughter is 3 months old. It’s been a rough year. Her grandma, my mom passed away 2 weeks after she was born and it’s been hard. Her dad is a hard worker, but we can’t seem to make ends..

Struggling family could use a little help this Christmas. We have 2 boys 14 and a 2 month old. I have kept my list simple as there are many familys in need of help. The highest priority items on my list are the boots and cold weather gear for our oldest son James. He has grown so much this last year and all of his gear from last year is too small. His gloves don’t even fit. I was able to get some cheap stretchy gloves at the 1 tree. but they are not nearly warm enough for the amount of time he spends outdoors. I also included a Harry Potter outfit and stuffed Owl for the baby, but honestly he is to young to care. please help keep James warm this winter. have a blessed day and Merry Christmas to all.

Hi guys, I added a few things to our list for a neighbor. I couldn’t talk to her, so I put a few things I thought they would like. I didn’t feel comfortable putting her address on without permission. Full disclosure, we were helped. I added these to our old list because I’m lazy but it’s mostly girl stuff. http://a.co/6l2x8F9
Hey everyone!! Figured I’d post one last time to see if maybe someone might possibly be able to get my young something off the list. An amazing person bought the older kids each a gift that I am externally grateful for
I know I’ve seen people mention helpers tend to stay away from big list and we need to make separate ones but I wasn’t able to do that I barely having an internet connection and it took us over an hour just to make the one we did lo
l so please don’t pass my wonderful kids up just because of that they ea picked out 2-3 things they’d like to have and out on there.
I did selfishly put an undershirt on there that I’d love for my husband to have
He works out in the water all winter and he comes home freezing every evening and I ju wish with everything in me I could get him something to help keep him warnm and dry..
I keep telling myself its not just about what I can get for my children this year but its about the memories we make with them that they can look back on. the hype for Christmas has turned into this awful mess of who gets the most and best gifts and that’s definitely not what its truely about
yes I want to be able to get my kids what they are asking for more then anything and we are having it rough this year that’s one reason I’m here tryin to get a little help in doin that.
I want to see their beautiful faces light up with joy when they see Santa came
I want them to feel the Magic of Santa bringing them what they have TRIED to be so good to get lol
BUT…also
Especially now as I’m an adult I know
20 years from now when they know Santa isn’t real
The harsh realities of how stressful Christmas is hit them (and it shouldn’t be that way but it is)
They WONT remember what toys they got or what they ask for and if they got it or not
BUT…
They WILL remember going to see the Christmas lights together
Snuggling up and watching Christmas movies
Making cookies with mommy
For my oldest son the Christmas cards I’ve even considered buying a box and putting them in the mailbox so he thinks someone sent them to him cause he’s wanting to get some. I guess the joy of getting mail..I still get excited about mail lol except bills ofcourse
I want me kids to look back and remember the time spent together and feel the love their father and I have for them and love Christmas for that reason
I do still also want them to have what they ask for tho lol
BEING AN ADULT AT CHRISTMAS KINDA SUCKS lol jk
I’m tryin to teach them what Christmas is all about and I’ll always make sure they kno the true meaning but at the same time they are kids and they want presents and they expect to get what they ask Santa for if they are good and boy they are definitely laying it on thick the older they get and the closer to Christmas it gets!!
I just wanted to he my feelings and thoughts out there this seems like a good safe place to vent
I hope everyone of you have a magical safe and loving Christmas!
I’m jot sure if I’m required to post this but I see most everyone else doing it when they post more then one comment my orginial post number is 2076
Message for Anne Brown, posts 2295/2296.
Your wishlist doesn’t have an address linked to it. Please can you head back into it and amend?
Also – from your list, it looks as if you have a boy and a girl to get presents for. Is this correct?
Breathe, milovely – there’s still time.
x
My top tips to everyone still looking for presents:
Keep breathing. This list runs until Christmas – and Prime gifts can be done up until Dec 22nd.
Definitely try to keep your list small and manageable. Start a new list specifically for this purpose, or at least clear out previous items that aren’t Christmas gifts. Do try to add a couple of smaller items per kid as well as just one or two ‘bigger ticket’ items. No one begrudges a child a pair of socks or a scarf or a book or two…
Please pop their names/ages in the comments if you’re using just one list (a short list per child can also work). I try hard to buy an item for each child in a family, to make sure everyone gets something – but this often isn’t obvious.
As a gifter, having a ‘wall of wants’ can be little overwhelming, so keeping it clean and simple really helps… Help us to help you.
And lastly, thank you for asking for help. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to give at Christmas. Please don’t feel bad for asking. Life is tough enough without guilt eating you too…
Much love <3
I fixed my address on my amazon account.
❤❤❤ I am a mother of 3 wonderful little girls. I try my best to empower them and show them how to be independent. I have never been able to bring myself to ask for help, but I feel as if I am letting them down this Christmas. We have never had an extravagant Christmas haigui hardly get anything close to what some other families get for Christmas. Christmas to us is more about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Celebrating family and friends and spending time together as one. I would deeply appreciate any help that is given and as soon as I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I don’t expect anything for myself this Christmas just my children. And I honestly don’t expect that from anyone either, but it would it be extremely appreciated and I would be forever grateful. May God forever bless you all!

Attempted to find the incredible person who purchased earbuds and a book for my kids but failed- THANK YOU. You’re helping so much more than you know. My daughter (Lydia) won’t emerge from her room until that book is read and Scott will be over the moon! He’s training for track and the earbuds will make that ever so much easier. You ALL are amazing and I am stunned and grateful to all of you. I hope I can return the favor when I’m having a better year.

We have had our fair share of ups and downs. Im struggling with work and her dad is deployed again this year through the holidays. It would be amazing to get just one gift to brighten her eyes.
This year a friend sent me this link and asked me to help her figure out how to do it . So I decided I’d give it a try with her since we are no need of help providing Christmas for our kids and nephews this yr . I just had spinal surgery and am unable to work at this time . I fully intend to participating next yr helping others have a good Christmas. I’m not sure how to create a link but if you look up Malina Blair at amazon.com it pops right up with our Christmas wish list . We would greatly appreciate the help this year. As out nephews are living with us this yr and it’s hard for us right now to provide anything extra.

My son is having a hard year. His dad is deployed and we just learned it will be through the holidays again. Brayden really wants to be like his dad. All he wants is a tactical vest to play with his airsoft stuff. He was admitted to the hospital bc he didn’t feel the desire to live. We have gotten through those hurdles but he still suffers from depression. Everyday is a step for us. It would make his day to enjoy this sport he has taken to.

Hi all! I have no idea if there is still time for help or if any help is still available but I recently found out about this wonderful group. My husband and I are struggling this holiday season. We’re doing the best we can with our bills financially but since our entire pay is put towards keeping a reliable car up for our children, food to eat and keeping a roof over their heads we’ve had nothing extra to spend on them this holiday season. It’s the first time we’ve been in this position. I know that gifts aren’t the reason for the season, but it would bring such a joy to see my kids with a present under the tree. We have two boys, a 7 year old and a 2 year old. Thank you so much for reading this. I truly hope and pray that next year we can pay it forward and help someone else in our position now.

It’s hard to ask for help when you’re the one usually helping. Saxon was born and my husband deployed soon after his birth. We can’t afford to allow him to take off much time. I know babies won’t remember Christmas but it would mean a lot to my other two kids to see baby brother get a small something from Santa too. We are struggling this year and it would mean a lot to me to have a smile on their faces.

Also once I got Comet to stop wearing the diapers on his head and Prancer to stop prancing about like a Fairy Princess, they promised to deliver the gifts right away (cross their hooves) Merry Christmas!!
I’m sorry sorry to post again but nothing from my kids list has been picked. If anyone can help we would truly appreciate it. I have 4 amazing children. Ages 3-12. It’s been an extra hard end of the year.

Hi everyone!
My original post was #2103.
I saw that we seem to be able to post updates, so I thought I would do that.
As I stated before I’m a single WAHM and this time of year is always tough business-wise. I am shopping for my son and two nieces (my brother is unable to do anything this Christmas, so I want to help out their mom). I’ve done what I can, but am officially tapped financially. Any help with these final items would be greatly appreciated by kids and parents alike.
Christian is a 7-year-old boy who loves electronics and is learning to read. His list includes a Furby (his big “I want that!” item this year), a Magic Tree House book, and a Pokemon winter accessories set.
Total: $54.16
Christian’s Wishlist: http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/XRA89HKYY3Y0
Aryanna is a 2-year-old girl who LOVES the movie Trolls. Her list includes a Troll Hugtime Poppy.
Total: $38.80
Aryanna’s Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SBL1F38M0DPM
Journee is a 6-month-old baby who loves making noise and exploring. Her wishlist includes a Lil’ Critters Moosical Beads (which is currently 74% off, but that price has gone up and down in the last 24 hours, so not sure how long that will last), a Move and Crawl Baby Ball, and a coat/scarf set.
Total (as of me writing): $48.86
Journee’s Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3U4KO6VCSFZUC
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas!
P.S. Thank you to the person/people who bought the wrist rattles for Journee, the hat/gloves for Aryanna, and the Captain Underpants book for Christian. I appreciate it. 😀
I’m #1181 and I just wanted to extend my thanks to whoever purchased the earbuds for my runner and the book for my Lydia- she’s uniquely Lydia and will burrow in her room and read and reread that until I make her emerge. I can’t tell you how much that means to me!
Danielle F. (comment 1996) – I am also a mother of twin girls. I would like to send you some extra things since your wish list is fulfilled. Please email me: dianna.overmyer@gmail.com
Good luck and enjoy the ride : )
I have been debating for the last few days on posting. My daughter is only (almost) 2 months old so Christmas isn’t really a big event for her. She doesn’t know that I’m struggling and wouldn’t remember that there weren’t any gifts this year.. but it’s her first Christmas and I feel like the biggest failure of a mom.
I decided to put pride aside and ask for a little help.. just a few small toys and some warm clothes. I tried really hard to stay within the price limit set. I don’t know if there is anyone still willing to help but even if nobody is able I just want to say thank you for this community, the support and the hope everyone has been granted.

OMG – I am almost in tears this morning, which is HUGE because I don’t cry (my crier ran out of tears or broke or something – I’m not sure) Anyway, I’m a new reader of Jenny’s and started reading her blog from the very beginning. I’ve read through all the previous James Garfield miracles, but was never here for it happening in real time. I’m finally caught up to the present posts and am so happy that I did!!
I was able to help H.Hubert with some items from their list – I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your children and God Bless You and everyone in this wonderful funny kind and loving tribe!!!
Tiffany and kids – being a single mom is rough. I think you are rocking it! Gifts for the kiddos coming your way from “Santa” Merry Christmas! Dianna
If this is still open to comments, here is our Christmas wish. I’m a single mom, three kids but one of them gets a lot of special gifts from a program he is in due to his disability so I’m not asking for anything special for him.
The other two sometimes get overlooked and these were kind of special wishes, Thank you for thinking of us.

Love from BeffyDee x
Posting again for my daughter Willow, someone did get her pj’s, headbands and a book, and while I am extremely blessed for those and she will love them, I am hoping to get one of the toys or dress up items so she has something to play with also.
Her list can be found here – http://a.co/gDn4Rw6
I know there are a lot of people here looking for gifts that haven’t received anything yet, so it’s not a huge deal and I don’t want to be greedy, like I said just holding on to hope for a toy as well.
Much love to all you gifters (and Jenny for hosting this) and I hope that everyone who sees this has a very Merry Christmas.
I JUST WANT TO THANK MY SECRET SANTAS SOOOOO VERY MUCH FOR HELPING ME AND MY LITTLE ONE!!!!!!! I posted #1241 and almost instantly, a few of the items were purchased!!!! This is truly a blind faith testimony!!!

I agree with Jenny – teens are totally kids too!
One Spider-Man hoodie on it’s way to Karen. Please pass on my love to her – I’ve always believed that it’s people on the edges rather than the mainstream that continue to push forward humanity for everyone. She’ll find her path. And in the interim, if I may recommend both The Guilty Feminist Podcast and the Made of Human Podcast – they’re both very transgender friendly.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and given. This restores some happy thoughts for me. Thank you to whomever bought my sons little dragon necklace. He’s going to be so excited. I’m orignally comment 2085. I had seen some older kids being on the lists and wanted to add my daughter if I could. She has struggled with mental illness since she was young. Many inpatient stays. Lots of tears but a lot of smiles too. But she tries so hard and is taking some college classes now. I can’t even begin to express how proud of her I am. She loves to walk and color. Her brother is on the autism spectrum so it’s always been hard for them to relate. But that seems to be getting there too. Thank you for all of your help ❤️ Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you jenny!

Again, Christine Segundo Hernandez, please stop it. Any list clicked on from here shows up with the “Your Friends” list highlighted on Amazon. Everyone who clicked on your list has the same screenshot. Besides that, your name is still the account owner under the Bryanna account, and you are not my friend, on Amazon or otherwise.
No one is being deprived and it’s not at all happy that I have to point this out. I’d rather read the genuine and heartfelt stuff. But I wasn’t the first to call you out over multiple accounts and postings, last year or this one. And the fact that you’re still making excuses while being righteously defensive is just….yuck. Please stop.
Sarah P, I don’t even know how to thank you. I didn’t want to put any necessities and stuff like that on the list because I was trying to keep it to Christmas gifts and stuff for the kids, but we struggle so badly this time of year and anything at all is so helpful and you have helped us more than I can say. I don’t expect anyone to get anything else because this was supposed to be for Christmas gifts, not necessities but I thank you truly truly so very much! I hope you and yours have an awesome Christmas! 💙🎄🎅
Megan got all but 3 things on her wish list thanks, and my daughter got 1 thing, which I appreciate there are still things on the list that I added notes too any help would be appreciated. I am doing what I can to help others the next few days, since I have no money I am volunteering my time to the TLC food pantry in willis tx we help people with canned goods, meat and veggies and bread, the joy of seeing them smile helps me to know I’m doing something right everyone have a blessed day and a merry Christmas. Thank you Jenny for starting this I hope there are a lot of happy children this Christmas.
I’m trying one last time, I am honestly so hopeful.
We had to abruptly move north and while I had some items I didn’t have most of what I needed to keep my kids warm and I’m feeling like I’m struggling trying to provide even the basics.
I tried to keep everything cheap and if I did anything wrong I am so sorry!

thank you so much for your contributions. I am so glad the less expensive set was available and have removed the larger set. you are angels. My sister’s family will be over for dinner tonight and 8 plan on sharing the great news. I am looking forward to the opportunity to pay it forward next year. I will be back as an elf. Thank you.
FrozenFamily – how many people are in your family and what are the ages? I think it’s possible that people are looking at your list and not sure why you have the same but multiple colors of certain items? I know when I buy gifts on here I like to buy one for each family member. Hope this helps!
I haven’t had access to a computer (only my phone, which is super wonky and sometimes posts as anonymous and sometimes as SadieLu). I wanted to deeply thank the individuals who sent gifts of love to “CP” for his new apartment and to 3 year old “G” and brothers “LC/JS”. Most arrived yesterday. I deleted their lists once they were filled. In reading through the many comments this morning I see that is not something I should have done, but rather have left it there. For that I apologize.
I ended up finding $20.00 over the weekend and in the spirit of paying it back I was able to purchase a doll from someones list. She had just taken in a bunch of children who were in a bad situation. Here is the list of the beautiful soul I helped – she had posted yesterday early morning or so. The only gift purchased for the 4 children she took in was the doll I bought. If anyone is looking for someone else to help, please consider her list. Here is her original post at number 2057:

I recently took a group of children into my home because their parents are addicted to meth. They are really sweet kids but have seen more in their short life than any child should ever have to see. Their ages are 4,6,12, and 13. I am trying to make their Christmas memorable despite their current obstacles. Any assistance that you can give is very much appreciated.

Dianna I had not thought of it that way, I am so sorry
I have two sons and 4 daughters. My youngest son was able to get a coat from a friend and my daughters have hoodie sweatshirts so they basically only need the little stuff
Sharing again. I’m not sure if it’s being posted right but hopefully someone can help. 5 kids with husband out of work. Each gift has the kid’s first initial so you can see who gets what. You are a blessing for even looking. Merry Christmas and God bless all givers! You can’t possibly know how amazing you all are. 🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎉🎉🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Muchas Gracias!!!! Santa will come this year for #2249!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!
UnlikelyStory, Let Cristina/Bryanna have her righteous indignation. Frankly it reeks of “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
I’ve said it before, people can choose who to help, and if someone wants to give to her, that’s their prerogative. I’ve seen people who have tried this many times from previous annual SJG Miracles showing up again this year. There’s no way to force a conscience on someone. If they’re willing to take away from someone well and truly in need, then that’s on them, not us. Seriously, do not give her anymore attention or thought.
Let’s focus on the folks who really need help, experience the joy of giving, and remind ourselves while there may be some unscrupulous people out there, there are LOT more good.
Enjoy the happiness and wonder of the season!
Thank you, Jenny for giving me the opportunity to share a little of what I have with so many children. I know it’s not the presents under the tree that make Christmas special, but knowing children who are facing a grim holiday will have some happiness is the best gift I could ask for.
FrozenFamily – Welcome to the midwest! Sorry you weren’t ready for the cold but I hope the gifts I sent will help (socks and gloves). Wishing you all the merriest of Christmases! ~Dianna

Some toys and games are on the way! Hope you have wonderful holiday!
Some items are on their way. Unfortunately, the women’s winter coat won’t arrive until after Jan 2. 🙁
I hope these gifts help make a nice Christmas for the kids.

#2349,
Some of the items are on their way to you. One of the blankets is unable to ship to you…not sure why. If you find another blanket you’d like, let me know so I can purchase it for you. I hope these items help you all stay warm. Merry Christmas!

You are an angel. I can not thank you enough. Truly.

Hi all. I originally posted as #1015. Thank you so much to those who have purchased a few things!
We went from a full-time family of 4 to a full-time family of 6, unexpectedly. We were in line to be able to help this year, but this change has rocked our world. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but we just need to get through this time of year. My paycheck is mostly commission based, and the weather just isn’t helping out in that aspect right now. Again, most of the items on our lists have been purchased, but I was hoping that we could get L her requested slime materials. I know it seems silly- but she’s 10 and completely obsessed with slime….it’s at the top of her list this year. As I said before- L and J are 10 and 11….and they still 100% believe in Santa (our elves have disappeared, so they’re a little upset at that) but they have no doubt that there is a Santa.

Just want to say thank you to whomever sent the chess set and the book for my son. I’m sure he will love it and this helps out more than you will ever know. Sometimes it’s hard to not lose faith in people, but you all have shown me that there are still some good, kind people out there, who are willing to help others in need…and a stranger no less. I am so grateful. Just…Thank you!
Thank you so very much Jenny! I am so very grateful. I am going to have toys for my princess. Thank you so very much!!!
Ami- thank you so so much for the undershirts and pack of underwear! I appreciate it more than you realize.
I don’t need much of anything else, but my oldest guy needs warm school pants and my boys all need a pair of tennis shoes as they are all long overdue. I tried to find the cheapest options on amazon. Even if anyone has a pair that is used and no longer needed that would be amazing. My kids are in size 10.5, 11.5 and 1. Thank you all and merry christmas

Hi all!
You are all so amazing!!!
I feel like a huge butthead, but i updated my list. A couple of things were purchased off the original list, but nothing for my oldest daughter. Hopefully I’m not in the wrong for creating this newer list (if i am, I’m so sorry Jenny!!) I really appreciate every bit of help! This has been a super hard year. Divorce is not easy, it’s super hard on the kids, and health problems are no fun!!
Here is the link to the new list. Love and hugs to you all!

Massive cheers to my kids secret Santa’s! This was strangely difficult for me to ask for help, but thank you. My little one, James, is getting socks and a book!! This should have a social media validation process, the cost of privacy to weed out scammers is worth it in my judgement. My list is mostly idea’s and in no way, would I want any more than 1 or two items per kid. I feel like there should be better guidelines so 1 person doesn’t get 10+ items while others get nothing. Oh well, thank you sincerely “Santa’s”. I’ll get Garret chocolate and give him the book, so he can read it to James!
Hi, I’m struggling with getting my some Christmas this year. I have mostly put things his therapist have recommended but I have put one or two toys he would also enjoy. The rest of the activists added to his wish list is activies to help with his delay and problems. I added a jacket and two outfits, I added soft clothing outfits because that’s all he will wear. I also added a pair of tennis shoes and I added new balance because he has to wear braces and them are the only shoes we have found to accommodate his braces. God Bless and Thank you.
Any help would be appreciated for this family of 3. Mom and 2 kids ages 10 and 13. Their father just passed away suddenly 2 months and the mom is struggling to hold it together emotionally and financially. Any help would be considered a blessing. Thank you.

Hiya. I found my way here through a blog link and see the many elves and reindeer helping make christmas brighter this year. If there is any more christmas magic, I would like to add my list.
I have been blessed with one child. Kath is a teenager and unfortunately aware enough to know how we are struggling. She usually has a list for us each year but this year she can tell and says that she does not “need” anything. Teenagers are hard to buy for (at least I think so) so I will tell you a little about her: She is very quiet and introspective. She loves to read, always at the library or second hand shop. She is very tall and lanky and as a result always cold. I put some lovely fingerless gloves and leg warmers on her list that I think are her style. Not sure what she is reading exactly, but her nose is always in a book, so I didnt know how to shop for that. She does well in school and babysits for neighbors. When it is time to go to college she wants to either study early child education or library science. She makes me so proud. Mom, Mona
This place is absolutely amazing!!!
Linda (2297 and 2298) your an absolute superstar i cant thank you enough for helping me out i was so shocked someone from the uk was able to help. Thank you once again and hoping you have a fantasic christmas youve just made mine and my girls xx
Mona (#2374)
Leg warmers/socks are on the way! Tried to get the gloves too but looks like they were not able to be shipped to you so you might consider looking for alternative ones with prime 🙂
Have a great Christmas!

Some angels on this site have helped me out so much i really cant thank you enough. There was a couple of bits on my list that was unpurchased and i noticed the price had increased since adding to my list originally so i deleted these and added some more cheaper affordable items (same amount of items). Im hoping this is ok please let me know otherwise. I will be extremely greatful and humbled to anyone else that would like to purchase off my girls list (3 and 9) to complete the list.
Sending lots of christmas wishes and happy holidays to everyone

One lists for two appreciative little boys. We (as a family) took a hit to the budget to be able to house my ill mother. She was homeless, and we purchased a lot and a trailer for her. Now we have 5 years of loan payments to make (on top of our own expenses) while taking care of her. We all live off my husband’s income and he is a wonderful man to provide for, and take care of my mother like he is!! The boys get to see grandma daily and understand that the $ is tight, but they are willing to sacrifice the toys to get to spend the night at grandma’s house!! Thank you for anything and everything you can offer!

Reposting need pants for winter.
Reposting and hoping.
Thank you so much. Each child will have 3 wonderful gifts to open and dad will have a new shirt (1 st new clothing in years for him) and a pair of warm gloves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If anyone is still looking on here a few gifts are left on lists. Also I despise this part but I have no pants for winter without holes in them. I put 2 pair on mom and dad list. Thank you all again,not just for helping our family, but for helping so very many!

I finally got a job and we have had some emergency’s due to storms and no money for bills. Please help. : https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2E3IERK4A3JYJ
Trying again. I’m feeling desperate. I’m sorry for reposting. I’ve tried all other avenues of help and there isn’t much in our area. I’ve tried to do toys 4 tots but it’s just an email request & haven’t heard back.
My husband and I have two little girls ages 3 & 7. I was out of work for several months and I was blessed with a new job. Unfortunately we are playing catch up now on all the bills and don’t have much of anything for Christmas. I deleted some of the clothes and and some items from their list so I don’t go over & do it wrong. Some items they can share as well.
Thank you!

i might be too late to the game, but someone JUST told me about this. we have had a REALLY rough couple of years, but won’t let it get us down. i left an abusive relationship and fought like hell to keep my kids. i’m remarried to my very best friend but we are having a super tough time of it. we work all the hours available to us. we have recently taken in a friend’s teenager who was in danger of being sent to a group home. we are slowly but surely stabilizing, but still REALLY short on just about everything. we signed up for christmas help through our school and just found out it will not happen… i’ve talked to them about times being hard and us doing things as family. i know they are trying to understand, but this is the onetime of the year that they just need to be allowed to be kids. i’ve added a few gifts for each of them. because of past abuse and fear of stalking, i prefer to put their first initials only, and my name on the post and the wishlist is an alias. i am happy to private message more info. and yes, these are things they asked for, including the pillow and the rat food. sigh. they are really simple and wonderful kids. they inspire me.

just testing to see if i will know if i get a reply…
Just want to say THANK YOU to Jenny for organizing this magical event. I know it’s time consuming and chaotic to manage after a few days but it and you are amazing!
This is my third year participating and I truly look forward to it now. The holidays have always been tough for me and having both my parents pass away recently makes it even tougher to find the good.
But this…… The freaking James Garfield Miracle is bright spot in a bleak time for me. Knowing I am part of so many kids and families Christmas experience makes me all warm and squishy inside. 🙂
It’s a truly unique and special experience to give to strangers I will never meet and help people in states I’ve never been to from Maine to New Mexico to Nebraska to Ohio to Utah and Indiana.
And for those I helped this year: Coalie (#392), Sarah Jane (#534) Amber (#589) Julianne (#774), JS (#1006) Christina (#1079), Dona (#2339), Britney (#2329), Mona/J Wilbur (#2374), Thank You for having the courage to ask for help. It’s not an easy thing to to do and hope you can pass it forward someday.
Wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday filled with joy and laughter. 🙂
I came back down here one last time to check my list. I am so thankful for the presents being sent <3 Joseph and Gracie are going to be so happy ! And its all because of The Bloggess site and you wonderful people ! I had 2 items on a list for Micheal, one was for him and the other actually for me in a way. His mobile broke and nighttime has been brutal without it ! I added it as a idea just in case the one I had had on there was too much. If anyone would be able, you would actually be blessing 2 people <3
One good thing about coming down, he fell asleep in the stroller ! I am going to grab a few books while he is sleeping and head home.
Love to all and Merry Christmas !

Mona (#2374) – your daughter sounds like me as a kid (and as an adult now too!), always with my nose in a book. I actually keep a stockpile of my favorite books to give as gifts, and I would love to send your daughter some for Christmas. If you see this, will you email me at esiska82@yahoo.com? Everything I have in mind is teenager appropriate 🙂
I felt more joy this morning than I can remember feeling in years! Opening the door to almost all of my boys’ list being delivered made me feel like it was Christmas morning for me! Thank you to everyone out there who helped me! I also got a $22 check in the mail that I wasn’t expecting so I’m scrolling through to see if there’s someone I can help and pay it forward to! I know it isn’t much but I truly believe that’s what I’m supposed to do after the help I got this Christmas. Rich, I just want to tell you that you are an amazing person and even though I don’t know you, I do know that you have a heart of gold and your family is extremely lucky to have you! I hope you have the absolute best holiday and I want you to know that I appreciate you! If there’s someone in particular you would suggest I help let me know!
My original post is #1822, I had to change my daughters list a little because she realized she is out of socks and would like socks on her list instead of one of her other items.
I’ve been reading over the comments and it is amazing how many people need so much this year, I am so grateful there’s a place to find help. I can’t believe I hadn’t come across this before! I only found it this year by a lady in a quilting group telling me about it!! I will definitely be posting about it on my blog!
I would like to share a link for my son, who is a very special kid who isn’t going to have much of a Christmas this year. We don’t even have a tree, but we decorated as best as we could. He’s an older kid and I suppose that the younger kids deserve presents more, but I would so very much appreciate it if someone could look at his wishlist? Thank you!

Harmon Family (#2302)
The toys are on their way to you, I hope you and your children have a great Christmas! Happy Holidays!
My sons and I spent 90 days this year: homeless in Spokane, WA . I had moved over year last summer to start over after having spent more than a decade working 12-16 hours a day, having little time for myself or children, divorced (father is Turkish and lives out of country, zero help) and alone but for one friends that I had known since we were teens. We had a small car, some clothing and blankets and each other.
I took part time, and temporary jobs until I started while also trying to beat my sons home due to them being so severely bullied at Cooper Elementary. I lost money from already low paying work due to this, but the school district did not care, they told me that my sons went to a poor, diverse school and that “what did I think would happen?” I came home two hours early once, because they were being followed home, to catch a child shoving my son to the ground ad pouring water over his head. My sons were rerouted three times in less than the 9 months they attended Cooper, yet won awards for their kindness and essays only to be left behind by teachers and principal when bullied. In April of 2017 my son Matham came home one Friday with hand prints on both cheeks (he was in fourth grade and is autistic, he does not fight back but comes home and rages, feeling safe to release at home) I called the school, nothing was done. The following Friday he came home with a mark several inches long on the back of his knee, having been kicked repeatedly, the school did nothing. The police did nothing, in fact suggested that the children that did it were flirting and that my son was not quite as ‘autistic’ as I seemed to think. THE SAME weekend, the person I rented our home from called to say it had been sold and we had a couple weeks to get out. On April 19th I had a second interview for the job I currently have and was told I started on June 1st , on April 21st, my sons and I packed what we could in a 5×5 storage and slept in the car.
We spent most of the 90 days in the car as many places will not help unless you are running from domestic violence and on drugs. I would never wish it on anyone. Ever. I think the UGM needs to be shut down with how they treat people.My youngest son, Matham, is autistic and he was terrorized by the staff for not being Christian (the right one?) And Am very grateful to Catholic Community Services. So many sweet and kind people need help out there. I wish I could help them. Anything for my sons is appreciated. We learned this year the best gift we have is each other and how we treat each other, regardless of outer circumstances and that we CAN make it through ANYTHING.
Thank you! Merry Christmas

I am re posting a friend’s link. She shared hers yesterday for the first time and has not received anything so far. She has three girls (12,11,8) and they have all had a very rough couple of months. She lost her job when the plant she was working at closed down and it has been really hard on them catching back up. The oldest daughter like to watch movies and play with Calico Critters. The other two girls love to play with their dolls so she added a couple of things for them for their dolls on the list. All the toys they will share. If someone could just maybe help with one thing per child that would be fantastic! I would love to suprise her with some things for her girls. She has helped me out in the past and is truly a great woman and I would love to see her kids smile. Thank you so much for any help. If for some reason the link doesn’t work properly let me know.

I came to check and see if anything was picked off my list and came across some posts above and someone by the name of Christina is being accused of not being honest. I just want to assure everyone that my posts are not the same as that Christina. We’re two different people. Just wanted to point that out bc our last names also begin with the same letter. I didn’t want my list to get overlooked bc of that. Thank you.
Really hoping the right person sees this ❤
Hi all! I have no idea if there is still time for help or if any help is still available but I recently found out about this wonderful group. My husband and I are struggling this holiday season. We’re doing the best we can with our bills financially but since our entire pay is put towards keeping a reliable car up for our children, food to eat and keeping a roof over their heads we’ve had nothing extra to spend on them this holiday season. It’s the first time we’ve been in this position. I know that gifts aren’t the reason for the season, but it would bring such a joy to see my kids with a present under the tree. We have two boys, a 7 year old and a 2 year old. Thank you so much for reading this. I truly hope and pray that next year we can pay it forward and help someone else in our position now.

I’ve been watching and reading since Friday but haven’t posted because my son is only 9 months old. I figure since it’s just me and him chances are he isn’t going to remember anything anyway. But the more I read the worse I feel. So I made a SMALL wish list and if someone is still looking for kids to help, I’d be thrilled to have something for him to open. I did put a strand of lights on our wall in the shape of a Christmas tree lol because I just don’t have the money to buy an actual tree and he loves it! But he’s just a baby so unless there aren’t others with older kids to help, he won’t remember this year anyway. Thanks and merry Christmas to all the Santa’s in here as well as families!

I take care of my 5 year old daughter with type 1 diabetes. With barely any money it takes some magical skills to stretch the budget, especially with her diet. She loves books, outdoor adventures, sparkly and colorful stuff, her little garden. She is also very funny, although i have a feeling that would describe most kids.

Been a tough year, PROMISE to pay it forward next year. Just want something for them to open on Christmas morning to keep the Magic alive.
I know we are late to the party. This year is super tight for our family of 6. Christmas will be very small with the presents being necessities (warm clothes). Just a fun item for each of the kids (4 kids, age 7-16) would be huge. I’ve put something for each child on the list. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for doing this.

4 kids, 2 are teens, please read the description to the wishlist, I’ve put the basics on there. Thank you to anyone and everyone for this!!!!
I haven’t needed to ask for help with Christmas before, but this year things haven’t gone so well for us financially. So, here is the wishlist I made for our three kids. We have a 13 year old boy, and two girls age 9 and 3.
I love that you are doing this, and hopefully next year I can be one of the people helping someone else!

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, my internet flaked out as soon as I tried to add a comment. Doesn’t look like it went, but…. Anyway:
Hoping Chamieka 1248 will see this. A couple books from your wishlist were delivered today. But, for the giftcard from your wishlist, wouldn’t leave it with delivery instructions and/or an actual person to sign for it. I’ll try to check back, but with all the comments, it’s going to be easy to miss. It you spot this note, feel free to just email me directly: stahl.angie at gmail and we’ll work it out. Merry Christmas to all!
OMG rich I just got your surprise. Let the ugly cry commence! You my friend…. are an angel!
Dear Chamieka…#1132 Just got an email from Amazon saying packages were unable to be delivered today, as no one was there to receive…they will try tomorrow.
Happy Holidays to you and your beautiful daughters…
This is the first Christmas I have had to ask for help and I am so relieved to have been sent a link to this wonderful blog. I am a mom of four kids ages 16 to 9. My mother and family is doing the best they can to help us this year but if even one item for each child can be picked from this list it would make their Christmas. I put two gifts down for each child, many of which they can share, a couple bubble bath things for the kids to all use and a bone for the poor old dog.
I do not know how wish lists work with amazon but if you can include an address or email for a thank you card we will send them!
Merry Christmas friends.

Liz T – Thank you!! It was my favorite game as a kid, so it’s gonna make family game night fun for me too! 😉 God Bless You! <3
To all my Secret Santa’s – Thank you so much! Each of the kids will have a gift to open on Christmas morning!
@ mike #505 and 31282, your link does not work. Try again.
I’ve made a donation to Project Night Night in honor of my mom for the last several years and did it again just now. She has everything she wants and she loves that this gives back to children in her community. Thank you, Jenny, for all that you do and the rest of the tribe for helping those who are in need (and also to those who have been brave enough to ask for help.) <3
What do people think about requests for designer items for kids like Calvin Klein? I know everyone deserves nice stuff but can’t I get something in similar quality ($124 for snowcoat and snowpants) for less money? Interested in feedback. Also listed a pair of toddler shoes for $69…designer wear…just curious others’ opinions.
ny help would be appreciated for this family of 3. Mom and 2 kids ages 10 and 13. Their father just passed away suddenly 2 months and the mom is struggling to hold it together emotionally and financially. Any help would be considered a blessing. Thank you.

Sorry for the immediate double post, trying to do this on my phone. Not sure how the immediate double post happened.
Reposting in case it was overlooked. This is for my brother’s 3 kids. My 14 year old niece who is so helpful –
she makes dinner and watches her younger brothers. And two nephews –
one 9 and the other 11 – who are terrific and loving children. I bought them all winter coats but I ran out of funds to help their parents with other gifts. If there is an elf out there willing to help them, they and I would be so appreciative! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2NB1XKDA9IXJW

This is my son’s wishlist. The past few years have been very difficult, and Christmas is never something we can really “do.” so we squeak by doing “things” and trying to make memories, but I would just absolutely love for my son Andrew to have some gifts to open on Christmas. He honestly only has 1 pair of jeans to wear to school. He’s so artistic and special, and with those special tendencies comes high costs with psychologists to help him fit in better with his peers. We are incredibly grateful for any help at all – anything. It would make this a really great year and I would just love to give him some real happiness on Christmas. Thank you Jenny and your Tribe. I’m grateful to be here.

Thank you Jenny for this forum. I have never asked for help before but we are, like so many people struggling just to pay bills and put food on the table right now. I have always been the person who likes to give to others. This year I humbly am asking for help for my two teenagers. Thank you for taking your time to read and being the type of person who wants to help.

I have been helped but I’ve created a list for my niece (12) and nephew (10) who live with my mother. They were given to their grandmother since their fathers are out of the picture and their mother has drug problems. Grandma has been on disability for several years and grandpa suffered a back injury that’s had him out of work since September. Neither kid has their hopes up about Christmas as they know how dire the current situation is. My mom would be so grateful.

WOW i cant believe in just a few hours since posting my updated post (see below) some lovely person has purchased 2 more of my girls items 🙂 just 2 more items to go until their wishlist is fulfilled! I understand if no one wants to buy them as they are sweets but i added just incase anyone would like to treat them 🙂 once again i cant thank everyone enough your all so kind <3
Some angels on this site have helped me out so much i really cant thank you enough. There was a couple of bits on my list that was unpurchased and i noticed the price had increased since adding to my list originally so i deleted these and added some more cheaper affordable items (same amount of items). Im hoping this is ok please let me know otherwise. I will be extremely greatful and humbled to anyone else that would like to purchase off my girls list (3 and 9) to complete the list.
Sending lots of christmas wishes and happy holidays to everyone

I just posted 2 wishlist for my 2 boys, one is 14 Cyrus and Timothy is 12.sorry I didn’t post on them I was a little confused
Candice Kelly, I bought one gift off of each of your kids’ list. Merry Christmas.
Good evening!
I have witnessed so much generosity here in people’s time of need. I myself have posted in the hopes of getting some help this year. But I am making this post for my Mom, Tina. She is a single mother taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ and 16 year old sister Emma. We all recently moved across the country to make a fresh start which has been difficult to begin with. To add fuel to the fire, she lost her job a few weeks ago. Thankfully, she was able to find another job, but those weeks without work put her even further behind then what she was. She is currently struggling just to make her house payment and there most likely won’t be any presents for my siblings this year. She has struggled to provide gifts for holidays and birthdays for the last few years, and I more often then not have stepped forward and bought presents and put her name on the tag. Sadly this year I am not in the position to do so, as I have also posted here looking for assistance. Of anyone could see in their hearts to help my mom out and give my brother and sister a little something to look forward too, I would be forever grateful. I have them addressed to me, because anything sent to their house they will open right away and ruin the surprise! Lol

Not sure if this miracle is still happening but I wanted to include a list for my new son. He was just released from NICU today and I missed out on a lot of work during his stay. I just put some practical items on his list since he doesn’t know anything about Christmas yet. Thank you ❤️

Natalie Mac Isaac 1202 / 1526 – your wishlists are fulfilled. Some will arrive before Christmas – some after. Love from Canadian Catherine
I want to thank everyone that blessed my family! Y’all are so amazing! If it’s nor too late I’d like to ask for a little more help for some special kids. My brother and his girlfriend could use some help with Christmas for their 3 kids. She works but they are barley making ends meet and she said she doesn’t know how they’ll get presents this year. Rachel is 10 and loves Harry Potter but Mom says she doesn’t have any of the books yet. Lily is 7 and into Monster High, Barbies and ponys. AJ is 5 and into cars, trucks and typical boy stuff. I’m hoping this helps them. Thanks for reading!

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident and then air lifted to the hospital. He still currently has seizures and is trying to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both stated back to work thank goodness. Or kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are going for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2

Ive just been sitting here thinking how kind and generous you guys are. I could actually say you may have saved our christmas with the gifts you have donated. Thank you so much i cant express how much it means to me.
I posted just now saying about there is only 2 items left on my girls list,both sweets, but i was thinking they could live without sweets its not important need!! Instead ive added 2 items each for my neice (6 year old)and nephew(7year old) both of whom are autistic i want to include them in this to also make them feel special.My sister is a single sahm and the father is not around so she is struggling by herself. So if anyone is still gifting and would like to help out further i would really really appriciate it from the bottom of my heart,The kids would be over the moon with the items.

Hello,
I posted before as I was #2016. I think I may have gotten lost in the mix so I am posting again. I am wondering if someone could possible gift my children with the book on my list. These are some of their favorites. Thanks in advance if you are able to bless them with these. Happy Hokidays 😊

It has been a rough for our family the last couple of years. The company I worked at for 15 years closing right before the holidays 2 years ago, then I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.Then last year my wife started getting sick, and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong for the longest time, in the meantime she lost her job because of how much time she had been missing. The doctor finally diagnosed it as a combination of hypothyroidism and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and they are trying to find a treatment plan to get her back on her feet. In the meantime we’ve been living off savings and help from family and friends while we try to find jobs that we are able to do with out disabilities, without any luck so far.
We have two daughters, 9 and 7, and we are trying to keep the magic of Christmas alive for them in spite of everything. The 7 year old has been huge into Gravity Falls since she discovered it on Hulu earlier this year, she’s watched it from Tourist Trapped to Weirdmageddon at least a half dozen times since. The 9 year old is at the age where she is getting really into video games, and has gotten a deep interest in mythology since tearing through the Percy Jackson books earlier this year. They could also both use some new pajamas, their favorites are beginning to get a bit threadbare.
My wife and I sat down and put together a wish list for them here: http://a.co/iqyjGs0
Thank you
Please Help If you can it would be greatly appreciated, single mother of 3 trying to make Christmas happen for my kids!

I am so grateful for the books for the kids I am reposting in the hope that someone is able too help with toys. I put toys about $25 for each kid. Is that too high? I can find cheaper items. 2nd grader is a huge Lego fan. 1st grade girl loves Barbie and all things girly. 2 year old boy loves Cars and wants to be just like his older brothers so I put Duplo on there. The most expensive is for the 13 year old. He is done with toys. I thought a pair of wireless headphones would give him some much needed privacy in our full house! He has a chromeboom through school. Thank you. You have no idea what this means. Wish List

Tonight we found out that my youngest’s flute needs $100 repairs. Apparently dropping it multiple times can screw it up.. guess she should have listened 🙁
Any hope I had of getting anything at all is gone. I’m beyond embarrassed that I’m here again asking for help. It’s shame, really. My kids received a couple small things and I’m hoping maybe for a game or two we can play together as a family. We don’t have cable, our entertainment is games and movies. Thank you!

Hello I am a single disabled Mom. I have 4 Children but my oldest is 21 and my second son passed at 5 months old. The two youngest are at home age 7 and 5 . Well left an abusive environment and have been struggling to get on my feet. He does not pay child support so I am supporting my kids on Just my disability check. We do receive food stamps but not much. I am also on housing assistance. With all this I find myself looking at the $100 left for the month asking food? Toilet paper ? Medicine ? Gas ? Or Christmas gifts. It has been very rough this year my son was diagnosed with Eds and right now we are traveling for multiple doctors appointments and learning a new way of life.
I made Wish list but not sure how to make a link I know it can be looked up by my email address when you go into the Wish list and it ask if you want to look friend. I copied this link not sure if it has both my son and daughter in it.
Thank you so much for your help. A friend shared your link to me. I am so grateful that she did. Thank you so much.

I wanted to get on and explain how truely thankful my husband and I are but honestly I’m lost for words!! Also thank you to those who are sending them Christmas cards to hang up!!

Reposting (originally 2251) because I noticed the prices on most of the Lego sets just kept going up and up and up so I tried to add some more moderately priced things. Also, thank you Jenny!!!!!
GAH!!! I’m way late to the party but hoping there is still time to put this out there. I am a single mother of a wonderful, brilliant, loving, hilarious 7 year old boy for whom I will never be able to give everything he deserves because he deserves the world. Between keeping food on the table, a roof over our heads and clothes on our backs there is rarely anything left over and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who’d be willing to help us out this year. Thank you to Jenny for doing this! This is a wonderful lifeline for those of us in need during this time of year and a beautiful reminder of the love, decency, generosity and compassion possessed by humans in general and THIS TRIBE specifically, which I think we all need! XOXO, love to all of you!!!

Hi!
I have Christmas covered for my own two kids – I shop deals throughout the year in preparation, and I also donate toys and handmade gifts to as many kids/families in need as I can. My funds are running low, and I still have a few more children to buy toys for. However, I was hoping to get some help with supplies for making gifts. I am a Santa for a few kiddos on reddit, and some locally, in addition to my own friends and family, but I also like to include local nursing home residents in my holiday rounds. If anybody is able to pitch in and help me get some supplies, I could offer many more gifts to kids, families, and elderly folks!
Examples of the things I make for gifts are:
Fleece tie blankets (for adults and children)
Handmade baby blankets with fleece/flannel
Matching pillows
Dresses for little girls
Candles
Soaps
Lip balms
Body scrubs
Stuffed toys
Knitted hats
Handmade ornaments
Handmade figurines
Homemade cookies
Homemade dessert breads (banana/zucchini)
Chocolate covered pretzels
Anything else within my skill set that I can think of
I would really appreciate any help anybody is able to give. I love being able to help others and this would help me help even more people. Especially the elderly in nursing homes as I know this is a very lonely time of year for some of them and I like to take my kids in and bring them some joy for a little bit, and obviously some gifts! 🙂
Thank you all so much for reading! <3

My oldest is 12 yrs old and he’s a gamer, into pokemon and drawing, my 6 yr old is a horror fan way beyond his years and the youngest is a 3 yr old princess in every sense of the word. Anything is a blessing and we thank you for the kindness you have during the holiday season. Happy holidays from my family to yours.

Thank you for making Christmas wonderful… I’m lucky enough to be able to give so this is one of my favorite traditions.
Thank you whoever bought my oldest the puzzle he wanted! You are an angel!
If anyone feels like, my other 2 still have not got anything under the tree… U did update and take off somethings that went up in price, swap for a cheaper thing. Thank you and God Bless everyone involved in this!!

Talia, one item I ordered hadn’t shipped yet so I was able to cancel it, but the other two have already gone out. They’re scheduled to arrive Wednesday, maybe you could check with the owners at that address? If you confirm the address is updated for your list I’ll re-send the game so it will come to you.
Thank you so much! Yes its correct now! I can’t believe I did that! I feel awful!! I’m not even sure its an address I’ll have to talk to my mom in the morning do you know if the items goin through the USPS or ups? I was thinking maybe I could contact them if nessescsry
Renee, post 897: Erika’s sneakers cannot be sent to a gift list address. Perhaps she can find another pair?
Anonymous (Alana?) #2430, you’re incredible! I wasn’t going to check the comments on this post anymore, figuring that they’d each gotten a book, but then I noticed that each of the remaining two or three books were gone from their lists and knew it had to be someone here. You’re all such lovely, lovely people, and some lovely, lovely kids are going to be SUPER excited on Christmas. Thank you! <3 <3 <3
I’m really taken aback that a bunch of kind strangers would buy books for kids they didn’t even know, without knowing anything about them or expecting anything in return. You’re all dolls.
Hello #192! Can you add a shipping address?
@ From the Little House On the Corner: I bought the boots on Elizabeth’s list, but the T-shirt can’t be shipped (says Amazon).
Anonymous thank you! She took off that outfit and replaced with a little dinosaur dress. Apparently it was not directly sold thru amazon ?
I just found out about this project. I love it! We have two little boys (3 and 2) and would love to be able to furnish a few of the items that they could use. I’ve added a couple simple toys and activities but we usually do mostly outdoor stuff instead of movies/screen time. The warm winter items will be a blessing that they will use to the fullest! They love to do crafty things too. There’s a list for each of them below.

Jennifer
I just got home after a long Monday back at work which was even more grueling after such a fun and crazy weekend. I couldn’t wait to revisit the James Garfield post to get myself back in the mood, and it didn’t take long for me to come across your two very uplifting comments.
I hope you know how furiously happy I felt when I read those posts. Your gracious and entertaining expression of gratitude demonstrates that my intuition guided me well: you are clearly a lovely and caring person who deserves every good thing that comes your way.
As for me, I can assure you we will be having a most wonderful Christmas. It’s just me and my 24-year-old son this year as neither of us could afford the time off to visit family back east. Now that he’s older we tend to keep things simple, but I very much enjoy any opportunity for us to spend time together. I did get him some nice headphones, which will be a total surprise for him, and I’m planning a fun meal with rotisserie Cornish hens, wild rice and mushroom stuffing, acorn squash, and green beans. I haven’t decided on desert yet, but maybe we’ll have apple pie and ice cream.
At some point we’ll watch the black and white version of “A Christmas Carol” with Alastair Sim. I always happy cry at the end of that movie just like I do reading the comments here.
Merry Christmas.
Found that a couple items were no longer available or the price had gone way up. A dress was swapped out for a outfit and a couple of toys exchanged for less expensive ones.

Jenny, Thank you for providing a means for all of us to share with each other. This year, I get to pay forward the generosity I’ve received–whata gift that is! You’ve inspired me and helped me in so many ways. I’ve always believed the “small” things are important (and are not really small), but it seems the world around me has other thoughts. This morning, I gave a man a pair of gloves–I saw him walking in the cold and he was bare handed. I had to drive around the block to catch up to him. As he put the gloves on, he said they made his day. The opportunity to help him made my day.
Happy James Garfield to everyone!
Hey it’s Dona again from post #1862, #2114 and #2339
Just wanted to put another message out there to thank Kristy C for getting my daughter the ball and baby doll from my daughters wishlist!!! Thank you so much for all your kindness.
I can’t believe how wonderful all of the people on this site have been, all but one of my daughters ‘wishes’ will be under the tree for her and I cannot wait to see her face on Christmas morning.
Is there a place where people can update with pictures after Christmas?
Thank you again to Lauren and Kristy C for making a miracle happen for my daughter this year!
Merry Christmas everyone
Stella @ 1782 – good stuff coming your way, delivery on 12/14. Merry Christmas to you and yours. xo
Renee #2192, I tried to buy the shoes for Erica, age 16, but when I went to checkout I got a message that they can’t be sent to a wishlist address. Is there another pair that would work for her?
Anon #2470–Your list has been fulfilled except for the socks. Multiple size options are available and I wasn’t sure which was needed. If you let me know I’ll be glad to purchase them. The other items should arrive on Dec. 14th. Merry Christmas to you and your boys!
It would be so incredibly appreciated if someone could take a look at my son’s wishlist. We struggle very much financially as a family, as I have disabling depression and panic attacks, which is why I love Jenny so much, because she gets that. Nobody else, it seems, does. My son Andrew has severe social anxiety and is on the autistic scale, so while he may look like a big 14 year old – he’s just…”not.” I think that’s the best way to say it? Any help would be so appreciated to give him a better Christmas. Thank you!!
http://a.co/1dEyYIm
(Looks like you’ve ton a lot of great things coming his way!~ Jenny)
Talia, I re-sent the game and 1 other item, they should go to the updated address.
According to Amazon the other 2 were shipped together via FedEx. If necessary I can try to take it up with Amazon or FedEx and see what they can do, but hopefully they’ll end up with an honest neighbor or be returned to Amazon.
Hi Becca, #2152, there are a couple of items headed you way, and should arrive by Dec 21. The john deere truck said it was out of stock, and wouldn’t arrive before Christmas.
Hi guys, I just found out about this site and was hoping to get some help for my daughter and her family. They were displaced in the hurricane and came home to “moms”. They lost everything that couldn’t fit in the vehicle when they had to leave.
They are working hard to get back on their feet and have found employment here and recently moved into their own place. We have managed to get them the basics but could use a few things and I know my daughter is struggling to come up with a few toys for her daughter.
Christmas is all about the kids so the toys for my granddaughter are most important, but if any elves are feeling extra generous and willing to help out I put some super cheap household stuff that I would love to be able to surprise my ‘big baby’ with as well.
The link to the wishlist is here – http://a.co/3MrcKcy
Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much. I was thinkinjb maybe I could contact fedfex and tell them the situation as long as I have my ID I’d think they would understand! Thank you for the help I’m freaking out a little less now I just pray nothing bad happens or if someone else ends up with the others you bought and what another person got and my kids don’t receive them maybe the person needs it a little more then I do..idk I feel like most things happen. For a reason and try to think the best of things but I sure do hope I can get this worked out and get my babies their gifts!! I feel so bad
Rebbeca in IL – someone began fulfilling your wish list, I picked up the rest, and it was the highlight of my day. Please take care of yourself, too, because you are your daughters’ very best gift! Merry Christmas!!!
Just got off work and my babysitter told me about this page. Skimming through comments is really unbelievable! I’ll be honest, I don’t have a sad story for you. I’m just a hard working mom with 2 little humans who depend on me for everything. Unfortunately needs are the only thing I’ve mastered providing and wants are kinda out of the question. My boss did get each of the kiddos a toy to open (art set for the 11 year old and game for 7 year old) so I’m grateful they have something. But if it isn’t too late to ask, then here I am. Just a working woman with 2 babies (not really babies but they will forever be my babies) who I would lasso the moon for! Thank you in advance for all you do!

Rich-
Can you teach me how to send someone something that’s not on their wishlist? I’m not trying to get someone’s address- just want to add something to gifts I’m sending that I think they can use. Judging from the comments, I think you know how to do this type of magic. . .
I am a preschool teacher, teaching in a small district part time. My husband is at a factory where we hoped he would get lots of overtime this fall, but unfortunately did not. In November, our furnace caught fire and we had to replace it. In November and December, we had to spend over $500 getting my minivan fixed. Today, our home was broken into. We don’t have renter’s insurance. So things are very rough in our household. My mother in law is a big fan of this blog. She has it saved on her homescreen to read. She is the one that showed me this post today and suggested that I try this to help my kids with Christmas. I know that one a couple of my kids, I spent more than what it says on clothes (my 2 teenage boys are 14 and 13), but once they are that age they are very hard to shop for and clothes is really what they need! They don’t really do toys anymore. My two littler children are 6 and 3. They had a program at church yesterday where they looked SO CUTE! If there is any help available, it would be very appreciated.

Have a great evening and Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Holy cow, now that’s what I call a meal! I highly suggest the apple pie… there’s nothing better! I have to share with you that I got the opportunity to go buy a couple items off of a wish list posted and it felt great to be able to return just a sliver of the favor! As soon as I saw the check in the mail that I had not budgeted for because I honestly completely forgot, I knew exactly what I was doing with it. I kinda wanna just tell my kids that Christmas is this weekend because I’m so excited and can hardly wait to see their little faces Christmas morning. I finally understand now what my dad would say growing up about not needing anything for Christmas. Seeing the happiness on your child’s face is better than any tangible gift I could ever receive, and you my friend have given me that this year!
I have 3 kids who all asked for the same thing this year.. more family time. More times where we hang out and just do “fun” stuff. Now Mom feels guilty as all get out because she can’t do “fun” with zero budget 🙁
If anyone is willing to work off of a purely “want” list, I ask you to please consider mine. We are nowhere near important like these kids who need clothes but I’m still hoping to keep the magic going for another year. Please, and thank you.

I am wondering if someone who has already posted might have a 12+ year-old who likes nerf guns. My family has been helped immensely by this tribe. Someone gave me a few extra dollars this week, and I sent a couple of books to different families but would like to do more. I can’t purchase anything else, but I do have a new Nerf item that I purchased really cheap last year. It isn’t appropriate for my household, and I planned to sell it online; however, if it could help someone here, I would be very happy.
If you have an older child who might like this, please post referencing both this post and your earlier request for assistance. Add a means of contacting you, and I will reach out to you personally.
Hope this is okay. Just looking for a way to give back and bless someone as I have been blessed.
Im probably too late for this, but I’ll try my luck.
My wife’s always been on the giving end, especially during holidays. But my contract with my job is up and I’m not being hired on permanently after this month. Our entire savings was spent this year alone on a couple major home repairs we had no choice but to fix.
She’s too stubborn to ask for help and swears we will find Everything we need at the thrift store. So, I’m taking it upon myself to find a little help. Mostly all 3 need shoes.
We have 3 kids. Two girls 14 and 5 and our son is 1 1 1/2.

Hi papabearto2, number 2456, some presents coming your way. 🙂
I hope it’s ok I did an update on my wishlist because one thing sold out (LEGO set) so I added a different LEGO set in the same price range ($10) and then an item on the list for my oldest child had gone up in price so I found the same item at a lower price and switched it out . It’s the exact same item but was $5 cheaper. I hope this is ok. I wanted to make sure to have the lowest price available

Hi anonymous 2447,
Some boots and books heading your way 🙂 happy holidays!
Well…I had to update 4 times with it saying each time I still had no address listed after the first time I tried to change it from the WRONG address I thought it was fixed the first time ..apparently not… man I have the worst luck! Anonymous I’ve spoke with you about it and I really hope I can get this all fixed tomorrow and get the kids packages i dont have a way to call and speak with anyone during the day but i seen an option to email customer service so im going to try that. Plus message me mom to see if i can figure out if the address is an actual residence and who it is if so but another helper had been generous enough to get somethings I’m just hoping they might see this and know if their packages get sent back I’m truely sorry. I’m literally the walking definition of what can go wrong will go wrong lol even if things don’t work out for us I’m still so thankful for everyone of you who have helped so many families this year.
Mom of two and really struggling this year with presents for our two boys. It would mean the world to me to see them with a present under the tree this Christmas. We’ve never been in this position before. I hope and pray we’re financiallh able to pay it forward next year ❤️ Thank you for reading this.

Hi!
This year has been rough on us. My husband is disabled and I have been sick all year. Leaving our income non-existent. I finally received a diagnosis in early September. I’m now adjusting to my medications, but still finding the Lupus Diagnosis hard to swallow.
We have one amazing daughter. She has been wonderful this year. She has gone above and beyond to help out. She knows this unfortunate situation is temporary, but the mom in me feels awful for not being as present as I would prefer to be.
Thank you for all you do! I look forward to being able to return the generosity next year.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3CWSHS1VRH2GI
Another huge thank you to the people who helped with my kid’s list. They are so excited to have new boots! The other things I’m holding back til Christmas. Thank you! Because of you guys I really feel like Santa came to our house this year.
Anonymous @ 2486,
It can be a little tricky but here’s one way that works if they still have items on their list.
1) Add an item from the list to your cart. You can remove it later if you only want to send the extra item.
2) Find the extra item you want to send and add it to the cart.
3) Start the checkout process and if all goes well you will see the recipient’s address as a destination option.
4) Proceed as usual. If you only want to send the extra item, you can remove the original list item when you get to the last step (right before clicking the purchase button) by changing the quantity of that item from one to zero.
If you want to do the same thing but the recipient doesn’t have any unpurchased items in their list, you can click on the “Filter & Sort” link, select “Purchased” and add an item that has already been purchased. You will see warnings about purchasing a duplicate but you can ignore them and just remove the item in the last step as mentioned above.
Hope that helps.
Santa and his Elves are a clever bunch!
If you ordered something for my family already and it came back to you I’m sorry, evidently our local amazon lockers don’t work with wish lists and amazon couldn’t help me since I’m a minor I don’t really understand but I tried so hard. I found my comment on the other page it was 487. So I changed the shipping to my home address even though it might spoil the suprise or you can email me at the email I put in the description. I don’t think they will resend the things to the new address and the lady on the phone said that the things people bought would just go back to amazon and you would get a refund so at least no one will have wasted their money. I’m sorry again.
I feel really bad that people tried to help me get presents for my sister and my brother and my dad. Like I said my mom said she didn’t want anything this year again. I’ve done a lot of jobs this summer after my dad got laid off to make money for stuff like Christmas but it’s just not enough with all the stuff that comes up that I didn’t want to bother my parents for.
Anyway, I’m not asking anyone to try again, I just wanted to explain if the people who bought the six gifts were wondering why they eventually get their money back, thats why.
Sorry again. I feel stupid, but I’ve never amazoned before.
Hoping for help still. I fixed the list now so the things that had become unavailable are replaced as well fixed Elizabeth’s list. The address wasn’t there and then a few items where unable to be shipped. Thank you Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SBT4V2QU6ZY5
We are a family of 8, with 6 AMAZING children. I am still recovering from being struck by a car (physically I’m healing well, but the PTSD is kicking my butt), so it has been tough. They are very adaptable children who are okay with not receiving, but it seems unfair that they won’t have anything.
Anything you see on the list is welcome. The board games are for the whole family, and the items are child specific.
13-year old boy: he is an artist
12 year old girl: fashion designer (both of our older children have birthdays this week as well.)
10 year old girl: She really enjoys dolls.
5 year old girl: My Little Pony
4 year old boy: Ninja Turtles
1 year old boy: into everything and nothing all at once.

That’s awesome Jennifer. It feels wonderful knowing you’ve brightened someone’s day doesn’t it.
I can totally relate about wanting to start Christmas as soon as possible. I’m just dying to give my son his gift because I know he’s going to be so surprised. And it’s even more fun when one’s children are little. It’s such a joyous thing.
You’ve convinced me, apple pie à la mode it is. I’ll have to buy the pie though as I haven’t learned how to bake those yet. However, I have become fairly adept at homemade pizza so that’s what I’m offering to lure him over on the 24th. I’ll probably give him his gift that evening because I just can’t wait.
Hi barelyabovewater!!! I am so glad you listened to me lol! This page has some really amazing people on it! I’m so excited for you and the babes! I’ll see you tomorrow hun. Praying for your Christmas miracle!!!
Rich just make him stay over night and open his present Christmas morning! If there was a way to safely send a pie in the mail I would make one for you guys!!!
Hi, I have post 2421 and 2423, not sure why it was so complicated for me to do one post and write a message. Things are hard on us right now and any help would be appreciated. My husband hasn’t been able to work for 2 months now due to an injury and it’s been a struggle
Barelyabovewater I ordered the mad libs book for Xavier. I’m sorry it’s all I could do but it’s what I had left on my account. Merry Christmas, love you girlie!!!!
That’s a good idea Jennifer, if I can wait until Christmas morning. He took his bed with him when he moved into an apartment so he’ll have to sleep on the ancient trundle bed that he used when he was a little boy. Then again, he’s 24 so he can probably sleep anywhere. And we can watch “A Christmas Carol” on Christmas eve just like I did back when I was young and we had to watch it on broadcast TV because there were no VCRs, DVDs, or streaming video.
Haha, I’d love a homemade pie but I don’t imagine they do well in shipping. That’s sweet of you to think of though.
Uh, good chance the couch might be more comfortable than a trundle bed for a full grown man lol. You need to put his headphones in a timed safe so you can’t get them out until Christmas morning! You sound as bad as me and my kids are still little. I love that you guys still do stuff like that for Christmas. I have no family that lives close so it’s literally just me and these crazy kids. But we are definitely going to make the best of it. We will be out Christmas Eve night driving around trying to spot Santa!
For the person from comment # 487, keep your hopes up. It’s likely that your Santa’s will get an email notifying them of the issue and they may be able to handle it on their end.
Post an update if you hear from them or see any changes in the status. If it isn’t resolved by Wednesday or Thursday, let us know and we’ll see if we can figure out a solution.
A HUGE THANK YOU to whoever picked up the few items Parker and Rowan had on their list. I cannot thank you enough or let you know just how much this is appreciated. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Thank you again ❤️
Girl you’re crazy! You did not need to do that! You are seriously the best friend I’ve ever had in my life! You don’t need blood family, me and my kids are your family and you are more than welcome here for Christmas. I love you, those kids and your heart! Thank you so much. It’s not the price that matters, it’s the heart behind the gift and obviously you’ve just shown everyone here yours! You use your last money to buy something for someone else’s kid? All joking aside, I love you and I’m glad you’re my friend!
Talia walters(post2076), I’ve emailed Amazon customer service in the past and they were pretty prompt and helpful. There is also an option to do an IM chat with a customer service person which I’ve used on a PC and it worked quite well.
No matter, keep your hopes up. UPS and FedEx delivery people are often pretty savvy about addresses and occupants names and will try to do the right thing if something doesn’t look right. Trust me, you are not the first person to mess up an address.
Hi everyone, I’m in need of help. I live in the USA. I’m a first time mom who is expectimg really soon. While i have some things for my little one, i don’t have many, clothing, socks, hats or mittens amoung other things. If anyone can help with just a couple of sleepers/rompers I’d appriciate it. I know this is mainly for toys or coats but, i would appriciate if anyone can help. Thank you in advance. Hopefully i filled it out correctly and did this right. Happy holidays everyone!

I adore the Annual James Garfield Miracle. I look forward to being able to participate, one of these days. I know that day is coming. In the meantime, I have my siblings/-in-law make wishlists for their kids, so at least I’m sorta participating, just within my own family. It’s what I can afford right now. BUT ONE DAY? I shall gift the littles I know and hopefully one or two I don’t know, except via #TheBloggess #JamesGarfieldAnnualChristmasMiracle. ONE DAY!!!
Thank you, Jenny, for continuing this tradition.
Hi. I have been watching The Saga of James Garfield the boar for 3 years now. And it never ceases to amaze me the kindness of strangers for strangers. I’ve never been able to give gifts, as I am a single mom who struggles in my own right. But I love reading them. It warms my heart. this year is a little different for us, since my anxiety got way out of control this year and I have been working way part-time for my aunt instead of my normal full-time job. Really, my aunt can barely afford to pay me. And that makes things really tight. But the job is so much less stress that we are way happier at home, even with the added stress of money concerns. And, it’s out of quilt shop so I get to flex my creative muscles on a daily. My girls will be getting quite a bit that I make for them this year (and thankfully they still love that I make them clothes) but there are some things that are on their santa lists that I simply cannot make. Since this is likely their last year believing, I’m going to bite the bullet and not feel bad about having to ask for help to get that last year of magic for them.
A little about my girls:
B, is 11 years old, her fave color is blue, she loves owls, Legos, Minecraft, and reading.
L, is 9 years old, her fave color is orange (let me tell you what. That’s a hard color to find things in), she is so completely girly and loves nails, nail art, Barbie’s, mermaids, cats, giraffes, and emojis. I know gel polish and a lamp seem like odd choices for a 9yo, but she’s really really good at nails already (she’s been painting my toes for me for almost 2 years), and she wants to start doing some nail art thing she learned from one of her YouTubers she follows. Shrug she’s already more knowledgeable about this stuff than I was at 20.
They currently share a room, and have no bed, so they have a nest of pillows and blankets that they like to make pretty with decorative pillows. They really want a bunk bed for Christmas this year, but that’s not happening until I get money back from taxes likely. So I added some super cute pillows to the list for them instead.
On the weekends (with all this cold weather) they take turns picking which vlogger they are going to watch on you tube, or they take turns playing on Minecraft. They asked for a second controller so they can play at the same time, and for PlayStation money so they can purchase skin packs and other digital fun to add to their Minecraft.
Also on the list is a pair of boots for each of them and some warm winter socks. They have both completely grown out of last year’s boots. But that’s what happens when you jump from a girls 4 or 5 to ladies 7 or 9 in one summer.
Anyways, that’s them. Thank you in advance for any help I get. I hope you know it is more than just words. It means the world to me.

Hello everyone! My name is Bailey and I am the mother of three beautiful girls. My manager at the Waffle House told me about the James Garfield Miracle and I was hoping that it isnt to late to sign my girls up for help this Christmas.
The transmission in my car went out about two weeks ago and I have been trying to save up to get it fixed ever since add in the heat bill doubled this month and I am broker than broke. I made a small list for my girls and I’m hoping that you can help me with it.
Thank you so much,

❤❤❤ I am a mother of 3 wonderful little girls. I try my best to empower them and show them how to be independent. I have never been able to bring myself to ask for help, but I feel as if I am letting them down this Christmas. We have never had an extravagant Christmas haigui hardly get anything close to what some other families get for Christmas. Christmas to us is more about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Celebrating family and friends and spending time together as one. I would deeply appreciate any help that is given and as soon as I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I don’t expect anything for myself this Christmas just my children. And I honestly don’t expect that from anyone either, but it would it be extremely appreciated and I would be forever grateful. May God forever bless you all!

I know I’m supposed to leave a new list but this is a little different. I’m a first grade teacher in Chicago. Two families at my school are facing hardship this season. One is a single mom who has four boys (ages 3-12) and recently lost her job. The other is a foster mom who adopted two unrelated children who are both in my classroom. She has had the kids for three years and is going trough the process of adoption. I’ve been collecting gifts for them and I’m throwing a wrapping party. My mom works for a social service group who is donating two weeks worth of food for the kids while they’re on break. There are a few unpurchased items on the list. I promise I read the rules…but this list is about a week old 😕 Any help would be awesome!!

Kristi, post 2418 – there is no address to send to. And the Crimson Tide mascot isn’t available.
Kristy #2377 …. Thank you! She will love them and wear them all the time. I also thank you for letting me know about the shipping issue with the fingerless gloves. I have added another set as an option. xoxo MY

Not sure if I’m too late too late to the party but we could sure use a little extra help. Thanks if anyone can help. My kids are getting older and it’s getting a lot more expensive to buy for them now.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3Q3ZN6LEICA6J
I have to say again, thank you so much for saving Christmas. I wanted to say, my daughter’s coat arrived today, and I’m so glad. She’s been wearing layers to school, and we’ve had a sudden cold snap with snow and everything, and I knew the coat had been purchased, so I kept telling her, just layer a few more days, just a few more days. Now I can’t wait for her to come home from school today and see and try on her new coat. I think the coat is better than the presents, not going to complain about those, but now she will be warm.
Hi I am a mother of 6, 4 boys (16,13,9,3) 2 girls (10&6). We would appreciate any one who is able to fulfill our list. Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Thank you to the person who purchased the dinosaur coloring book (giftwrapped, no less!!!) and the set of board books for my grandsons. I got home from work last night and literally sobbed when I saw the packages. I also got an unexpected $18.37 refund check from my old bank for a return that was credited to my (now closed) account, so I’m going to use that to purchase the 2 older boys a toy each. I found a cute teddy bear for the baby @ Goodwill that cleaned up nicely. 🙂
Thank you again Emily, BeefyDee and the secret Santa/Santas that helped me make my grandsons’ Christmas a happy one – not only for them but their parents.

I was comment #2489
I think I was overlooked, or maybe that is just fates way of saying things will improve in their own time. Either way I wanted to just say thank you for the compassion and love shown in this post and the care and hope everyone is experiencing.
To Alisha (Comment 2500) – A few things headed your way from another recently diagnosed with Lupus. Wishing you and your family happy holidays!
Kristi, post 2418, I sent two things – the address wasn’t showing because I tried to add a different Crimson Tide mascot and you don’t have the box checked for 3rd party sellers. If you could check that box, I can send him a plush CT elephant.
Merry Christmas!
Renee, post 2192 The sneakers are from a third party seller who will not ship to gift addresses. Please have her pick out another pair!
Update for #633 And 1120.
I edited my list again. To change out the items no longer available on prime.
List: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/35RSRCD8S92TF
<3 lots of love to you amazing people.
I feel so blessed to be able to find help. You ladies (and gentlemen) define “faith in humanity”
Susan G – thank you! I do have the 3rd party box checked. But if that doesn’t work, I added fleece blankets instead. Thanks so much! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2NB1XKDA9IXJW
Just wanted to say a huge Thank You!! It is such a weight off my mind to know that my kids will have something under the tree this year. Thank you so much it means the world right now.
Im not sure if it is too late to post a list or not but there is a little girl is my life who will be 3 in a few days. Her name is Destiny and is the SWEETEST baby ever. She has been through so much in her short life’s already. I say this without judgement but her mother isn’t doing right things with her life and I know this baby won’t have any kind of Christmas or birthday so I put together a little list for her in hopes to maybe even get one thing to give to her. Thank you so much! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/D4NI7NFFFD1C
Update for 2092/2093: I updated my kids lists and took off a couple of things. I thought maybe my list was overlooked because it had lots of clothing on it even though I stayed under budget. Someone got some things off my daughter’s list and I was so happy, but now I’m worried because I have nothing for my 3 boys. I don’t like asking for help and I’ve really thought about if I wanted to relist for help, but I can’t put something out for my daughter if there is nothing for anyone else.

Kristi, the blanket is on its way!
Renee post 2192 – I bought the sneakers from a different seller, and they are on the way!
How do you create the link ?
Carrie post 2489 – Not Parent Approved is on it’s way. Merry Christmas! Have fun with your kids!
I fixed my shipping address so hopefully an amazing Santa will be able to help. I have 6 children and I’m really hoping they each have something to open,I have combined their wishes on the same list so there is less confusion. I’m reposting my list with the updated address.

Thank you SO much to whoever bought my children the boots, and books!! This takes such a weight off!!
Jenny, so much love to you and all the James Garfield wishers and respondents. You all are amazing. Between you and Cards Against Humanity my grinch’s heart has grown 3x. <3
I may have messed up protocol by not keeping track of the numbers and responding in the comments with “wish fulfilled” – hope there are elves closing the loop on filled orders.
Update. I’ve emailed amazon and am praying hard that this can get fixed
I’ll keep you guys updated on what I find out
IM a single mother of 3 children 2 girls and one boy 8 and my youngest are both 5(twins) and my mother just passed away last month leaving me to care for my minor brother. He hasn’t had much and I’m struggling to get him clothes and whatever else he needs just for me to add that it would cost way more. Al my money that was saved went to bury her anything anyone helps with will go along way to my family Gabrielle’s wish list

Again thank you very much it’s been very hard on us these last few weeks
Bookaholic42, I got some packages yesterday! Thank you very much. If you sent the coat and pajamas they look to be perfect in sizing and all the gifts are such a blessing. It really helps, and the children are going to be so happy. Thank you again.
Last year some amazing people on here helped my little girl have a bright Christmas morning.
I guess I thought we’d be in the position to help, but we’re not. This year she’s really looking forward to Santa’s arrival and I would be truly grateful to anyone who could help us keep her sparkle going. http://a.co/57KKeZ1
Thank you so much for purchasing gifts for my girls. They are going to be over-the-moon excited when they get to open presents at Christmas. I grew up in the midwest where you would rather die on your front step than ask for help, especially financially. But Jenni and the generosity of santa’s elves helps make it less embarrassing to reach out.
I’m hoping there is a little more cheer to go around as my 14 yo, Annaliese, has just one gift, a cat pin. I would greatly appreciate the extra help. Merry Christmas. Happy James Garfield Miracle!

Thank you so much for continuing to spread holiday cheer with this amazing program! I know it’s a major event to coordinate and it’s exhausting for you. I hope you get as much joy out of it as all the people participating. I was hoping this year I would be able to give rather than receive, but my husband has been out of work since the end of August and is not receiving any unemployment benefits (in appeals right now). I work from home and am making less than $12k a year right now. We can’t keep up with our rent and utilities (all are past due and threatening to disconnect) let alone buy Christmas gifts this year. We haven’t even been able to buy a tree. My husband and I have five daughters, ages 10, 13, 14, 17, and 19. We would greatly appreciate any help we can get this year. Thank you.
Jenni, I cannot thank you enough for creating the James Garfield Miracle. All of your hard work is so much appreciated. I know how difficult it is to live with anxiety and depression as they run in my family. My two oldest daughters, my father, and I are all receiving treatment and medication. My husband self-medicates with alcohol–he’s a functioning alcoholic, but after losing his job in August he has not been doing great. No insurance, so I am limited to what I can do to help. I have been stressing so much about Christmas this year and I am so grateful that each of my five daughters have received a gift through your list. They will all be so happy when they open the gifts.I am so grateful for you. Not just for what you do every Christmas, but for how you share your struggles and amazing stories every day. I look forward to reading them. You make me laugh and cry and feel better about myself. Thank you for being you.
And to the people who sent gifts to my girls, I haven’t received anything just yet so I can’t thank you personally, but I appreciate your generosity more than I can say. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/or whatever you may celebrate. Sending you all big hugs from North Carolina. May 2018 be a better year for everyone.
Hey guys I’m not sure if this allowed I’m been truely blessed with someone buying several things off my list although I’ve had a terrible problem with my address I’m keeping faith that everything is going to work out. I don’t want anyone to think bad of me but I have one biiig favor to ask there was about 8 items left on my list and I deleted several of them I think there is 6 left but I’m only concerned about two of them I’d even be willing to switch out two items someone bought if theynwouod replace them with these two if that’s possible or if someone who bought them happen to see this
The first one is the crayon maker..seriously that this is all my son has talked about he ask for it last hear I felt he was too young and again this year that’s what he ask Santa for. I have every intention of buying it for him but I’m worried I won’t have the money to get it in time and since that’s what he’s really wanting I will feel awful if I can’t fulfil that wish especially since he thinks Santa is gong to bring it I hate to ruin that magic for him in case I can’t get it so please of anyone can get it or exchange it for something else you would be a lifesaver
Seconds..I kno its not for the kids and I feel selfish for doing it but the undershirt for my husband. He works his butt off providing for us and to keep us barely above water. He works out in the cold and in water in the winter time and he stays so sick from it he comes home every time froze to the bone and wet! He never complains! I had planned to try and get him some coveralls this year for Christmas but when I seen the price of them I knew I come never afford that this year with the way our finances are. I figured this shirt might help keep him atleast a little warmer. My husband is a veteran he served a tour in Afghanistan and its honestly my hero and I just wanted to be able to surprise him with something that might make his days a little easier.
If this is too much to ask I honestly understand and I’m sorry for asking you all have already done so much for so many families including mine. I pray next year im able to help some people out and return the miracle to someone! I helped someone a couple years ago and it felt so great!! Sorry for the long post
marthakay (#2547) – some socks and other goodies on the way for all of your boys. Everything should arrive on Thursday, except for the mug which should (hopefully) get there right in the nick of time on the 21st. Merry Christmas!!
Hi, I am original poster #1542 , I would like to thank everyone who has helped me with gifts for my children. I am very grateful for all the love and kindness shown not only to me but everyone here. I would like to repost my list , as my youngest son Dylan has received plenty of gifts. My daughter Destiny has received one item and my older son Tyler has also received 2 items. The items are clothing and was hoping for some help on my son getting a game or 2 , he does need a winter coat badly but I do understand it is pricey. He is husky at 13 and wears mens size clothing. My daughter would love one or both of the shirts listed, since she has turned 18 all she wants is money or expensive electronics. Those will not be in the price range for the rules. Please do not get me wrong, I am extremely grateful for all those who have helped me make a Christmas that would not be without you angels. I just do not want them to feel left out honestly. Here is the original list, I have commented on the items for who they are for to help it be easier since I did not make a separate list per child. Thank you in advance for any help can be given for my 2 other children. Rachel James Garfield Wish List

What a wonderful surprise to wake up to not one thing left on my kids list. Thank you to whoever blessed my babies! And thank you to the worlds best friend for telling me about this. My kids are gonna freak out Christmas morning lol. I’m sending prayers, good vibes, joojoo… what ever you believe in!
This will be my second time posting, but this time it’s not for my kids. Someone was wonderful enough to buy things for my children. I’m here this time, asking on behalf of my brother. He and his wife both work very hard to take care of their two children, but this year has been difficult for them. I am incredibly proud of what a hard worker my brother is and how he takes care of his family.But I also know that sometimes it’s not always possible to have a little extra money for Christmas. I’ve just put a few things on their list, some toys and warm jammies. Thank you to anyone who looks, and Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people! <3 <3

Rosalva #1958….So glad my family can help your classmate’s son this year. He’s got some Legos coming! Our family is Lego obsessed from my 11 yo son all the way up to my 40 yo husband so your gift choices are near and dear to our hearts/obsession…LOL. One of the items wouldn’t let me purchase and says it’s sold out so hopefully the 2 sets will suffice. Take care and have a very Happy Holiday…Kristie.
Kate K #2561, gifts for Annaliese and Kyla are on their way! I had looked for you earlier but didn’t see you, so I’m glad you reposted! I’m so sorry it’s been another tough year for your family. All best wishes for a happy Christmas, and may good fortune come your way soon! <>
I kind of feel like some of the late posters misread the top part in the rules, so I figured I’d post this part to refresh everyone’s memory.
” put up to $40 in books and toys (and up to $60 in coats/socks if needed) on your wishlist. Instead of clicking “Add to cart” choose the “Add to list” drop-down under it and select your list. (Make sure you choose a size if you need a coat or jacket.) If possible, stick with things that offer Prime shipping and that arrive before the holiday.”
It is supposed to be a total a 40 dollars worth of toys for kid and 60 dollars worth of clothes per kid. A lot of people seem to have misread it as books and toys that are 40 dollars and under and I’ve even seen some lists with 2 to 300 dollar items on them. Just kind of feels like it defeats the purpose of this whole project, so that’s why I wanted to post a gentle reminder of the actual rules that Jenny set forth. Thank you.
marthakay #2547, I’m glad you reposted, and I should have spread the cheer around a little more the first time. Thanks, Emily #2563, for helping with that! Jaime’s bulldozer set is on its way. There are still a couple of items left for other elves on each of the kids’ lists 🙂
Lisa, thank you so much. You are a doll. Let’s hope 2018 is a better year for everyone. XOXO

I thought maybe I had been overlooked or that maybe I was wrong for posting for only family gifts but some wonderful angel bought the kids a game to play. Thank you!
If anyone else is looking to be a miracle, we would be eternally grateful for your consideration on our list of games/movies for our family.

After leaving an abusive relationship and becomming homeless in doing so I have know gained an apartment on my own for my 3 children and I. Even though I pay a reduced amount of rent it still takes a toll out of my minimum wage income. KaiLaya 13 yrs and Michaeli 9 yrs would love bedding to make their shared bedroom “girly” Ashton is almost 3 last year I was able to get him a wooden kitchen but he has no food or accessories for it.

Kate K, #2561 your list is filled. I’m curious what homemade chemistry the citric acid will be used for… 🤔 haha. Enjoy your little beings of light this holiday. May they light your way like Rudolph in the fog.
Kate in 2581 – they use citric acid in making bath bombs.
Hope its okay to repost I updated my list for my kids. Thank you http://a.co/h7oZaZV
Jacket & socks wish list for my two boys. They are 7 and 2. This would help us out so much with the cold weather moving in. The jackets they have now are light windbreakers ❤️

Hi I am from post 2481 just really praying that a Christmas miracle comes through for my granddaughter. She has been through so much this year with the upheaval of moving I really hope that she can have a visit from Santa this year.
http://a.co/3MrcKcy
A gentle reminder,
Thank you for Clarification I misinterpreted to be a total of $60 per kid with clothing. I was struggling with finding A toy to keep it within the budget. it is 16 degrees today and my babies are in need of warm clothing. I have 2 boys and only listed boots, cold weather gear for my oldest. I wasn’t going to repost ( original post 2308) but after this clarification I have adjust our list, by adding an art easel and new brushes that my son has been pinning over for months, and some books for the baby.
I was wrong in my earlier comment to put my older boy over the baby. Just last night my son told us he didn’t want us to get him anything and insisted we have a present for his baby brother. I had to walk out of the room so he would not see me crying. James is so selfless and wise beyond his years. I am so proud to be his mom.
We have yet to have any elves visit us yet, and did not want to come off as being deceitful or greedy by adding more items.
I love reading the comments especially all the elves posting their good deeds. The reindeer have quite a bit of fun around here too. You all are wonderful and such a blessing to so many less fortunate familys. Just reading the comments has helped to reaffirm my faith in humanity. To Jenny and all the Christmas helpers, elves and reindeer thank you for your generousity and Merry Christmas.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SBT4V2QU6ZY5
There are just a couple toys left on the kid’s list. Itd be great to have a toy for the little girl. She has a couple items of clothing. Thank you Santa for the help and his many many elves.
We put up a small Christmas tree in our den today. Its beginning to feel more Christmas-y around here.

Jade UK #2019 your list is working, I was able to buy a couple of things for your niece and nephew. Merry Christmas xx
Checking in today to say thank you to the anonymous elf you purchased something off the kids wish list. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
I saw that an item or two became unavailable so I add comparable options if anyone feels inclined. I realize this list is for children but I included a toy for our dogs, thought I put two in the basket but today saw I only put one in so added another toy for the younger pup, apologize in advance if not ok. Thank you very much. <3 J

My husband, 4yr old daughter, 7mo old son & I live in Denver, CO. Everything is so dang expensive, that every time we get one step ahead we’re pushed back 20. We’re hoping to move out of state in 4mo to provide our kids with a better life, pinching every penny. We’re struggling everyday. Our list is random, but everything means something. We try to give more than we get & appreciate everything in life. My better half made some bad decisions when he was young, which makes finding steady work hard. He has completely turned his life around to provide for our family. His work is on & off, not reliable. The shop I worked at for the last 8 years just shut down, so now I find myself unemployed before Christmas. We could use some magic & positivity this holiday season, or just prayers that we can make it out of Colorado in April!! Thank you!! We appreciate it!!❤

Nikki Johnson, sorry I tried to send a few things but your address doesn’t show up. Perhaps you can fix it and I’ll come back & try again.
#2337 was my list…I only put one item each for my two older children and both of them went down in price sometime during the day yesterday. I didn’t make long lists, but maybe I should have given more options I just don’t know.
Rayvn likes art and craft supplies (washable) and Guinne would be happy with anything mermaid or unicorn, even a pair of socks or a headband with a horn
Is anyone still looking to help two kids in Indiana?
Anonymous 2566 / 67 — the toys you picked out for your brother’s kids are headed his way!
Lisa (lost track of number, sorry, but the one with AJ the artist): feed his creativity with PB pretzels and make sure you and your husband sneak some for yourselves. Merry Christmas!!

Bryanna #2007… I had to tackle Dasher to get the Frilly Lacy Hi-Top PEPPA PIG sneakers off him. Although he did look adorable in them 😛 He’s on his way with the sneaks and more Peppa gear. Merry Christmas
AnonOmoose #2010… The Reindeer and Mac’s Australian Reinbears were all busy SO I enlisted the aide of some very feisty Penguins and they were absolutely TICKLED to deliver Elmo to you. Merry Christmas.
Chris #2012… I wrangled the Pink Puffer coat onto a willing Penguin… Gifts that keep on giving… mental images of Pink-Puffer-Coated Penguins waddling off to deliver gifts. Merry Christmas
Sooooo on an unrelated but very related note, a group of Penguins is called a Rafter of Penguins… IF they’re in the water. However, if they are on land… it’s a WADDLE of Penguins. ISN”T that just Freakin’ AWESOME. And yes, my boyfriend agrees with you, I do get a wheeeeeeee bit excited about Penguins. It’s a waddle thing =)
Rachel #2014.. More penguins stepped up to deliver gifts.. .I suspect they just wanted to play with the hair chalk and wear Japanese anime socks 😛 but what do I know. Green and Purple Flippered Penguins InCoMiNg 🙂 Merry Christmas.
Alice L #2016.. PENGUIN POWER!! The Penguin Book Club waddled up and announced that they are waddling your way… One may be dressed like a dinosaur; be gentle with him =) Merry Christmas
Samantha #2025.. Since the other Elves were able to get your daughter some awesome gifts, Donner and I focused on your graduating son! I remember waaaaay back in the day being 17 and not getting anything for Christmas because people just focused on my 2 younger brothers and yeah, I was so happy that they got something but yea, I kinda wished I did too… SO MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Woo WOO!
I’m really struggling this year. Paid off some overdue bills and my Christmas fund is depleted. Might need to get a draw from work to make it work, but I’m already underwater. I’m one of the working folks that live paycheck to paycheck. I’m in America. Most Christmases aren’t like this year. Mainly worried about the younger kids, but I threw one on for my daughter… Just trying to keep the magic alive for the kids. Thanks in advance

Desiree #2027… those gifts are smothered in Reindeer fur and love and on their way… and maybe some bonus reindeer poop but that’ll wash off… no problemo. =) Merry Christmas!

I did what I could. Happy Holidays!
Christina (#2584) – socks and coats (and a couple of surprises) for both your boys are on the way! Everything should be there by Monday, 12/18.
Apologies for the long post, but this event makes me think of this every year, so I wanted to share it with you this year:
When I was a kid, our youth group raised funds one year for the impoverished in a Third World country at a table outside our local grocery store. It was always the tired mother in the battered old station wagon with several kids in tow who would stop to spare a couple of dollars for other people’s children, when she clearly had hardly enough for her own. The folks in the fancy cars and clothes—and our area had plenty of those—almost never even gave us a glance, let alone a dollar.
I was about 12 when my aunt and I were stopped at a traffic light and a panhandler approached the car. She gave him a five, and as we watched him walk away she said, “Some people say not to give money to panhandlers, that they’ll only spend it on drugs and alcohol. I say it’s none of your business what they use it for; the only thing that matters is your intention in giving it. Remember that.” And I have.
At 19, I moved with my boyfriend to a new town. We’d both found jobs—I as a hotel maid, him as a housepainter—but our first paychecks wouldn’t come for two weeks and we’d had to put down all our money for the rent and deposit on a cheap and commensurately crummy apartment. Even living on ramen, we couldn’t make our food stretch for those two weeks. In desperation I applied for food stamps to tide us over, and was subjected to perhaps the most dehumanizing experience I’ve ever had. The man interviewing me—more like interrogating—accused me of trying to cheat the system, of secretly getting money from my parents, of being a lazy and entitled college student (I’d had to drop out earlier that year for lack of funds). Meanwhile the office was throwing him a birthday party, and he and his colleagues sat there and gorged on cake and ice cream in front of me, while I was nearly fainting from hunger. In retrospect I’m glad I learned firsthand how very low and ashamed and unworthy people can be made to feel just for finding themselves in a tough spot. No one deserves that, and yet I would bet it happens to applicants for government assistance more often than not.
Many of us give because we’ve also received—or needed and NOT received—and we know how hard it is to be in need, and to ask for help. And sometimes we give because having a even few dollars to spare for someone else makes us feel rich ourselves. Here’s the Gibran quote that reminds me we’re all in this together—givers and receivers, we all need each other:
…And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving. And is there aught you would withhold? All you have shall some day be given; Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors’.
You often say, “I would give, but only to the deserving.” The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights, is worthy of all else from you. And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream. And what desert greater shall there be, than that which lies in the courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving? And who are you that men should rend their bosom and unveil their pride, that you may see their worth naked and their pride unabashed? See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving. For in truth it is life that gives unto life while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.
And you receivers… and you are all receivers… assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings; for to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the freehearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Thanks, for reminding us all that we have wings, Jenny. And to everyone here for the annual reminder that we really are all one. It makes me cry every time. Hugs, you guys, and may our lights burn brightly through every dark day.
I have recently gotten custody of my 2 grandgirls, ages 2 and 1, and things are tight due to circumstances beyond our control…If you can help, we would be so grateful, thank you so much and Merry Christmas

HELP NEEDED
We have a 6 year old little girl that we need help buying gifts for Christmas. We’ve always depended on my end of the year bonus to buy Christmas but I was recently laid off the week before Thanksgiving. We desperately need some help. My cousin told me about your blog so I am writing in hopes of a bit of a Christmas Miracle. We will not be able to make this happen for her without asking for some help. She has a long list of things she wants but we don’t expect to get everything on her list. We are only hoping for a few. She basically wants anything to do with Shopkins, Littlest Pet Shop, Lil Woodzeez, and Play Doh. The list says be specific but there are SO many different types of these items that we were unsure of what to put. She would love any one of them but there isn’t a specific one she wants. That’s the only reason for the long list. Its just a different variety of the same thing. We will be most grateful for any and all help we may receive. Thank You is such a small word and doesn’t begin to show our appreciation for even being considered for help. We have no other options and she’s the only thing that matters to us right now. Bless you all for caring and sharing!

Happy holidays everyone in Jenny’s Tribe! I was hoping so much that you might please take a look at the wish list I’ve put together for my son Andrew. He deserves to have a good Christmas, and his dad and I are trying very hard, and we’re so very thankful for any gifts – they help beyond belief. Thank you!
Here is Andrew’s Wishlist: http://a.co/gnjHXES
Merry Christmas!
(Looks like you’ve ton a lot of great things coming his way!~ Jenny)
Linde #2337/2526/2527/2595.. Keep the Faith! Comet & Cupid absolutely LOVE Indiana are on their way with gifts for the extra special Rayvn & Guinne. Merry Christmoose!
My kids kids have been so sick this winter and we’ve missed so much school… and therefor work. I’ve never done this before. Any love would be wildly appreciated.

I’m a struggling mom right now and I’m reaching out for any help to get my kids new coats and hats to keep them warm this season. I’m in the process of just starting a new job and funds are extremely tight. I have 3 boys and 2 girls. I’d appreciate any of your kindness.Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1M3EGU74PQUBI
Sarah #1739 Fulfilled a couple of the items. If you can find something for MacKenzie that is available for Prime or before Christmas delivery, I’d be happy to help more.
Emily,
you have made my Christmas there are not enough words to express my gratitude. I will be an elf next year and share in joy if giving. James is the biggest potter fan and saw that out fit while I was still pregnant, I hope Santa can bring it for him, but even if this is the limit of the elves help for my family we will have a great Christmas.
☺😚
Merry Christmas
Lisa (#2609) – THANK YOU for your post! Your aunt was extremely wise, and it’s something that I needed to be reminded of. Every year I know that there will be people trying to game the system, and every year it eats at me. I know it shouldn’t, but it does. The thought that’s been running through my head the last day or so is, “Karma is a bitch.” But after reading your post, another phrase jumped into my head: “Worry about your own karma, not theirs.” People will ALWAYS try to game the system. But that shouldn’t stifle my willingness (and let’s be honest here – eagerness!) to help others. Not helping anyone hurts everyone. Sure, there are going to be some unsavories in the bunch, but that’s true of everything in life.
Thank you for the reminder 🙂
Thank you! Thank you! I’m comments 2085 and 2345. Thank you to whomever helped us! My daughter will love the coloring books and watch. My son is going to absolutely love the little light! He has sensory issues so I think this may help him. 🙂
Living with my aunt and her kids, add my 3, and Ive been unable to work. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1UK3934WAQDIT
My goal is to be able to come back next year and return the favor. Thank you angels
I just recently received temporary custody of all 3 of my grandchildren. I had no idea this was going to happen and it is a blow to my finances just to keep a roof over their heads. I have added various things that I think they would like. It is a list for Jonathon age 8, Elizabeth age 3 and AnniBelle age 1. Bless you all for your help and thank you.

Thank you for the guiding hand. I have updated my children’s wish list as requested. Here is the corrected list. Marry Christmas everyone! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/ref=aw_ya_hp_wl
Hi. I just found out about this group from my daughter and was hoping I could add a list here for my 3 girls if there’s still time. I’m a single mom with 3 kids at home. (14 yo, 10 yr, almost 6 yo) I added one Wish item and one clothing item for each of them below. The holidays are always a struggle by myself but this year more than ever. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Talia (#2076, 2562) Items for your whole family will arrive between the 14th and the 20th. I would also be happy to have some of my students (I’m a teacher) send some cards to your kids if that is still something they would enjoy. I hope the fun of getting mail will add to the joy of the holidays for your family.
-Lindsey
Still needing help with the oldest he is in need of socks badly if anyone could help him with those it would be greatly appreciated
I would just like to say this, thank you Jenny for this site and helping the people you do. This is the first time I have asked for help on here and have been begging. The big items on the wish list was jackets for Megan and Roselynn where bith below $20 for each and no one was able to help which is fine God will provide some how.The wish list that was made was cheap items I have looked on another people list and the items that wanted was more expensive but people got them. I don’t know if it’s the fact Megan is overweight and yes she is 13 but wears woman’s clothes sizes we are trying to work with her on that. And I don’t know if because my daughter is young people don’t want to buy for her. There was one angel that bought a few items for Megan and 1 toy for my daughter which I appreciate. But I found out the one lady that told me about this site was the one that bought my daughter a toy because she had seen that there was little bought on the wish list. I kept both of what they needed and thought what they wanted below $80 a piece including clothes. I could of lied and made a story up that would make people want to help me more, but I didn’t I told the truth as to what was going on. Hoping that like some many others on this site that the wish list would be filled. But it’s ok that ours is not and that there are others getting $30+ for each item. If I can help next year I will be helping another way.this is the first year I have had to ask for help and I feel like some of the people on here are taking advantage of it and getting expensive things. And that takes from other families that really need. I thought by picking all of the cheap items that the wish list would be filled.but that’s not the case everyday I have been checking in hopes something has changed but that’s not the case instead.i see others posting after me my original post being 1817 getting their wish list completely filled with big ticket items. Thank you Jenny for this site and helping others and thanks to the ones that are able to help, but after this year I will never ask for help again, because it took a lot out of me to ask for help to begin with.everyone be blessed and have a merry Christmas. Again thanks to the 1 angel that bought some things for my family.
Oops forgot the link here it is https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/QO9Y04GVGNU8
Today I got a miracle via amazon from Karen One-of-Santa’s-many-Elves. I’d been following the posts, seen the posters updating and reposting lists, and hoped that I would be lucky to get one thing each for my children. When a gift arrived today for my daughter, and I found not only the coloring book I’d hoped for but three others I didn’t expect for her, it took my breath away. Thank you , thank you Karen. For your kindness. For your gift of hope, and for helping me believe in angels. ❤️
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The 2 items in my list for my daughter were purchased! The tractor for my son wasn’t available I guess, so I replaced it with different trucks that are in stock. Hopefully Santa’s elves will be able to send those to go along with the books that are coming for him. I’m still so overwhelmed by the gracious people here!!
James Garfield Wish List
Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2V2TICBPQ8KHW
Barelyabovewater @ 2565,
I love it that Jennifer invited you to become a part of The Bloggess’s wonderful family of loving strangers and Santa has come through. She is truly a good friend and you both deserve the best. Wishing you and your “babies” a wonderful Christmas.
Jessica #2626 Oh my goodness! Keep the James Garfield Faith! Another Waddle of Penguins are HEADED YOUR WAY!! Merry Waddling Christmas because it’s just not Christmas without a Waddler or 2 =)
This is Brittney from post number 2597 I don’t know if the link worked…here it is
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/?ie=UTF8&lid=V4POPMXY03AO
Kimberly Powell (#2615) The older kids’ coats are on the way. Should be delivered on 12/15. The baby’s coat said “We’re sorry. This item can’t be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address.” Please, please add another coat, so I can get him/her one as well. I will watch for it.
The items for the first family I posted for have begun arriving…thank you, so much! Since you folks were so generous with your donations, we were able to use the small amount that we were going to use to get a few dollar store items, to match your gifts for a Christmas miracle.
We were able to get a crockpot (at a fantastic price) for the mother, as well as a copy of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” to go with the “Furiously Happy” that a dear Bloggess Pal bought for her.We are in the process, now, of putting together a food basket (for the family) and stockings (for the kids).
As I mentioned earlier, this young woman had left a violent relationship (with many injuries, unfortunately), and is working hard towards her recovery…physical, emotional, AND financial. She is currently sharing a room at a relative’s house, and had felt the need to tell her 6-year old the “truth” about Santa so that she wouldn’t be disappointed on Christmas morning.
We have invited the family to join us for Christmas dinner.
Our plans are to secure a room at a local motel, for the night, with the excuse that we don’t drive well in the evening, and that we’d like them to have a cozy bed and cable tv, for the night as our gift to them (the girls do have a bed, which they share…Mom, however, sleeps on the floor).
Since Mom doesn’t have a car, we have also offered to pick them up and take them home.
This much of the plan, Mom knows about. The rest? That’s the surprise that the JGM has made possible.
Our plans are to stop at the motel, on our way to pick up the family, and leave the gifts…along with the stockings, food basket, and a letter to the 6-year old explaining that a lot of the time, it is hard for some people to believe in Santa, but that Santa definitely believes in them, and how proud “he” is of them. I am thinking of including a certificate that promotes them to “Honorary Elf” status, with the privilege of spreading Christmas Joy to others in Christmases to come, as well.
The other family that we posted for (children aged 15, 7, and 5-year old twins) will be blessed by the gifts for their oldest daughter, and we hope to be able to get the other three something from the Dollar store or thrift store, since we failed to share their lists in time.
Since they live nearby, we plan on setting a bag (with the gifts) on their porch, Christmas Eve. We won’t be able to provide a food basket, as we hoped, but we DO plan on including some Christmas cookies and a card from “Santa.”
To be honest, I am more excited about playing St. Nick’s Elf than I have ever been about Christmas morning… and it is all possible because of the Bloggess and her wonderful JGM, and the fantastic Tribe she has gathered.
Thank you all, and may your holidays be blessed.
Jessica (#1817, 2626) – Please don’t feel bad asking for help! This page can get crazy with all of the posts, so if you were overlooked I promise it was not intentional 🙂 I really hope that you continue to ask for help when you need it, even though I know how hard that can be.
Both of the jackets, boots/shoes for the baby, body spray, and a learning toy are on the way! I wish I could do more! I just looked at the confirmation again, and the baby’s shoes and boots likely won’t show up until sometime in January – I hope that’s ok! Let me know if not, and I’m happy to replace them with something that will arrive before Christmas.
I’m reposting your link below for any other elves that can help with some of the other items on your list:

I have a 13 year old sister in law that needs help. She lost her biological mom the beginning of this year and is now with her dad but he is on SSI and money is tight.I have help with making sure everything was bought for a Christmas dinner but can not provide for my daughter either now because of how tight money is. If anyone can help it would be great.

Jessica #2626 annnd one of the Penguins must be waddling backwards the long way because he’ll be a wee bit late… like sometime after New Years =)
Jessica 2626 – I just got Megan’s coat, but something weird happened with my Amazon account as I was purchasing. When I retried, it said the item was purchased, but I thought that was because of my screw-up. Then after my purchase, I went back to the comments and saw that Karen-one-of-Santa’s -many-elves got something. So you may have a duplicate coat. Hopefully, if that’s the case, you’ll be able to exchange it for something else. Merry Christmas.
Please help little Destiny have a Christmas. Thank you so much!

Kate #2581 (great name! Are you a redhead, too?) Thank you so very much! Actually three of my girls are very into chemistry. But especially my 14 yo, who LOVES bath bombs (and slime, and floam–which she makes on her own). When she has birthday or holiday money she spends every penny of it at Lush. So I thought she could start making her own and save lots of money! We already have some essential oils and a kind soul here bought the molds earlier, so now she has everything she needs to be a mad scientist, a very relaxed one, too.
Thank you! Have a very Happy James Garfield Miracle and a very Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate)! XOXO
Kate K #2561
Oh my thank you Natasha (#2633) I made adjustments and added a new coat for baby! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you
A Penguin – I think I may have beat you to Megan’s coat! Between you, me, and Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves, I hope there aren’t too many duplicates of things!
#2638… You might want to go back and take a look at the guidelines, regarding wishlist price limits. I’m sure you are probably trying to give folks a large range of prices and gifts to choose from, but it can be a little daunting when a list is for so much… just trying to help. I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday!
I made a mistake and miscalculated what I have to spend. I might have money to get things on the 23rd but for now, my xmas budget went down to zero. If I am able to get things I will pay forward anything that was done for me. I have chronic illnesses that make it hard for me to maintain a job, so my husband is the only one able to work. My 4 year old loves legos and any sort of “surprise”.
http://a.co/4qWgVxe
Kimberly (2615, 2640), baby’s coat is now on the way, oddly arriving on 12/14 ahead of the others. This is my first year participating in the James Garfield Miracle and I want you to know that you have blessed me so much. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
Natasha, (#2644) this is my first time ever asking for help, and you have brought me to tears. I can’t thank you enough for your generosity! I thank you so much!
My kids have been so sick this winter and missed a ton of school… and therefore work. I’ve never asked for help before but… I have three little ones 10,9, and 7. I’d be greatful for them to have some joy under the tree.
http://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/6HQ8AZY0ZM2Z
It is so hard to ask for help, especially this time of year when I know everyone else is strapped, I was wondering if there were any elves or reindeer left that could help out my two kids? Danny is a 17 year old boy into PC gaming and Lolo is 6 and loves all things crafty and playing games with the family.
My son will understand if he doesnt get anything, but I really dont want to see my daughters heart broken as she is still a ‘believer’

Thank you for reading
Hi there,
It’s been a hard but wonderful year. I’d love any help I could get this year. Truly trying to give my children a Christmas they never forget. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/FF5S9M01M5EU
From post # 1267
Just want to say thank you to whom ever got the two busy books and shirt and game for the kids. They will be very happy.
Came In the mail today.
There is still lots on the lists but we ARE THRILLED WOTH WHAT WE DID GET. There is so many people on here needing help. This site is a God send to all of us.
I stop looking at my lists days ago. Was getting to nervous and stressed. I had a bad seizure last night so tomorrow I go to the doctor. Oh joy.
Thank you all once again.
Have a Merry Christmas
Ok y’all,
I sat in my car when I got home from the grocery store and just stared at my front porch and cried.
I was greeted by a pile of Amazon boxes and poly bags. And I couldn’t help the overwhelming feeling of awe and humility and pure gratitude. I think my kids will have an absolutely amazing Christmas, and it’s all because of you absolutely fantastic people. And my mom, who sent me here to ask for help. I added gloves to the wishlist in place of the winter jammies I had picked for my daughter this morning, and while trying to type my thanks through my teary, red-rimmed eyes, i started crying all over again, because someone already purchased the gloves.
I don’t have to worry about the kids fingers or toes freezing, and for the first time in at least 3 years, my boys have brand new, purchased for them, heavy winter coats. All the kids will have winter shoes that fit (except the baby, that’s what her blankets are for. She’s too little for shoes), they will have jackets that fit, and they will have warm, weather appropriate shoes for our 10-20 degree below zero winters.
I cannot say thank you enough times or with enough emphasis. You are all angels. Absolutely amazing people with such loving souls.
Words truly can’t express my gratitude, but I’m trying to get it across anyways. <3
Any angels who have purchased from my list, i will happily send you pictures of the kids getting their gifts this Christmas (or wearing their winter gear, it’s been so cold, that I intend to have them open those right away as early presents from some amazing little elves).
Just drop me a message and we’ll work out how to get them to you.

Anonymous thank you so much. Yes they would absolutely love love love that especially seeing they come from other kids that made them for them! That would be amazing!! Merry Christmas!!
I would love to make a couple hats for someone! If you need hats please email me at valarie@ishouldbeinthekitchen.com and I will see what I can do!
Thank you Emily (#2563) and Lisa (#2216) for all of your help. I appreciate it so much. It is nice to know that people can come together like this and help each other. I am always willing to help, but not very good at asking for help. I have really enjoyed reading through the comments, it is so uplifting. Merry Christmas!
Valarie – a couple of books are on the way because I used the amazon coupon code for books. Hoping someone grabs the LEGO’s for you!!
We have three kids and need some help this Christmas. My sister told us about this Christmas miracle and blog. Here are the small lists we made following Jenny’s guidelines. Hopefully I did it right. There’s so many comments that I can’t find my post from yesterday. Medical bills and legal fees have hit our family hard this year. We hope you all have a merry Christmas and stay warm. Blessings to you all from our family to yours.

I just came back to thank everyone again who helped us this Christmas. We have received everything safely and I responded with thank you notes if I found them in the packages. If I missed anyone who had them added I apologize I made sure to look in each box after noticing the first one in a package we received, but not all came with the gifts. I think it’s sometbing that has to be requested? Not sure, but I love it! I feel it’s very important to show graditude to those who do something amazing as this for others.
SO… even if you didn’t send us something, but sent something to someone else or even just made a kind comment to someone here.. THANK YOU!! You’re all amazing and I wish you all Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas 🎄
My list is simple but desperately needed. I have 3 boys and live in the stupid cold. My youngest is able to wear hand me downs from the older 2 but the big boys need coats so bad. I applied at their school but haven’t heard anything yet. If they happen to fulfill them I will delete. Thank you for considering us! I scrolled to find the cheapest ones available in their sizes

Jessica M #2034/2626 and A Penguin #2637..
If the Waddle of Penguins accidently brought a duplicate, then
1) can you use another? If so, GREAT, keep it! or
2) can you pay it forward to another? If so, GREAT, do it! or
3) email me and the penguins at Karen-One-of-Santas-Elves@nym.hush.com and we’ll get the item returned/exchanged for something else (that those wacky waddlers would love to deliver =) ).
Single Mom with 3 kids hoping to be chosen for assistance for my 3 daughters. They have each chosen 1 clothing item and 1 toy item. Their ages are 6, 10 & 14. Holidays are tough for them since I do the best I can by myself.

Thank you so much, 2654 Anonymous. ❤
My beautiful girls Elizabeth and Rebecca have been my rock this last year. I unexpectedly found myself laid off last December 20th due to downsizing, and trying to find employment this year has been exceedingly difficult. I signed up with an employment agency in October, and finally got a job last week that was expected to last through January, but that company decided they didn’t have the time to train a new employee, so I find myself without employment once again. Their Amazon gift lists are here: http://a.co/2os2cV7 and here: http://a.co/30l8vMW Thank you to Jenny and her wonderful readers for being a shining light in the darkness.
Posting for a family member who doesnt have internet.They have a wishlist at target.They have 3 girls.Hoping someome can help out.

Rog&Jeff #2090.. A whole WADDLE of Penguins are waddling your way. Ahhh waddle how can you NOT just love that word. Waddle Waddle Merry Christmas!
It shows that Megan has. 3 of the same coats coming and Roselynn 2 of the same I don’t know if everyone had the same thought at the same time or what but if y’all could please cancel 2 from Megan and 1 from roselynn and get something else on the list or please help someone else. They only need 1 jacket a piece thank you so much
Sydney 2657 – One of the coats (the smaller one) cannot be shipped to a wishlist address because it is being offered by a third party. Consider removing that one and adding one shipped from Amazon.
Jessica M – I will cancel the coats I ordered for Megan and Roselynn 🙂 Then you should just have one for the baby, and potentially a duplicate for Megan.
Thank you Amanda. It’s so hard finding coats on there that don’t go unavailable by the time they get added to the list. I appreciate you letting me know and I fixed it.
Bless the Bloggess! This is beautiful
I’m posting this on behalf a very good friend. She is one of the sweetest, most sincere people that I’ve ever had the privilege of calling my friend.
She is a single mom and is struggling to get the bills paid and doesn’t know how she’s going to be able to provide Christmas for her daughter. Her daughter is 9 and is being bullied at school and it’s gotten the point where she doesn’t even want to go to school at all. She cries in the mornings before school.
I don’t know if all of Santa’s helpers and elves are exhausted financially, but if there is any way that this little girl can have some Santa gifts on Christmas morning, that would be wonderful!

I am speechless and so incredibly grateful for all of the generous souls who are making Christmas magical for my kids this year. I came here desperate, scared and not knowing what to expect and my heart is just full. Thank you all so much. If there any kind souls out there looking to still possibly help, there are only a couple of necessity items left on our wish list. We live in New England and winter is here. Again, with tears streaming down my face…. THANK YOU. For everything. Thank you…
Original Post:
Hello. I hope I’m not too late as a friend just sent me here. I am sad. I am desperate. I’m a single mom of 3 great kids. I work 2 jobs and don’t make enough to pay for more than bare necessities. My ex husband defaulted on child support years ago. I try so hard but it is never enough. I have twin 13 year old girls and a 10 year old boy. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Just in case I had gotten overlooked this is a repost! Also, If I did it wrong please let me know.
Hello, name is Monique and I have 4 kids, Lexi(14), Paige(12), Chase(10) and Tyler(7). A friend of the family had made me aware of this beautiful page. Before my comment I had read a lot of the comments and I must say Karen you are a sweetheart! We’re going through a rough time right now and not just financially but emotionally. There was a 19 year old trying to talk to my 14 year old for reasons I would rather not even discuss but I’m sure you guys understand what he was trying to do and I made him stop so he got mad and killed our Great Dane and German Shepherd out of pure hate. Broke my children’s heart. It tears me apart I can barely afford rent and food as a single mother and barely able to make ends meet but to see them just crushed because their dogs are dead and I really hate having to add to that depression with a Christmas without any gifts. This would seriously make my world and theirs. I have done a list for each child separate so it wouldn’t be confusing for what gift was what. Thank you so much!!!
Tyler : Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/17DKB9IO3THYR

Thank you. Love & Peace – April
Roxie #87, the two items on your wishlist can’t be shipped to a wish list address. Can you pick something else?
Lisa 2601 – You made me smile and cry and feel all warm and fuzzy inside (and it is cold in the house today). Thank you for sharing…we truly are all in this together. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the gifts, love and encouragement you have provided my family this holiday season!
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves – Thank you for sharing so much holiday cheer (and making me laugh so hard I snort)! Pink Puffer Penguins in purple anime socks….LOL!
Ok thank you Emily yes it’s down to 2 for Megan and 1 for roselynn if for some reason I do receive 2 I will just return 1 so that whoever purchased the second gets their money back again God bless
Okay, I’m hallucinating posts and mixing up numbers… there’s no Roxie post but if you had two TMNT pjs on your wish list they couldn’t ship to a registry address.
#487, you need to fix your shipping address! It’s not coming up for me.
Tracy (2616) Thank you so much! I didn’t expect even more help! You are an amazing person. I didn’t realize the item wasn’t available with prime so I replaced it with something Prime-eligible! Thank you so so so much. <3<3<3 http://a.co/eIL3iZO
I hope Im not too late. At the beginning of the year I was hospitalized and forced to deal with my depression and anxiety for the first time. In doing that I ended up having to leave a better paying job in banking and starting a new career working with children who suffer from the same. My 4 kids have done a great job supporting me and understanding all the crazy….but Christmas is a huge stressor for me. Please take a look at my list and see of ypu can help. Girl 17 boys ages 16 12 and 8. Bless you all. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/35DRQ75WI4Q6N

My three daughters have each chosen 1 clothing item and 1 toy item to be placed on their wish list. I’m a single Mom and am doing my best to make ends meet. The holidays are always a struggle, but this year more than ever. ❤️ Thank you.

Late in the game here, and if anyone happens to make it to the bottom of the page and is so awesome as to grant any wishlist miracles, I know they probably won’t make it in time, and its fine, the day doesn’t matter as much as the sentiment.
It has been an extraordinarily tough year, but I wasn’t really considering how much I have become accustomed to the given of struggle until I finally got myself into the shower after longer than I care to admit, and the thing that made me light up like I won the lottery was I actually had real shampoo and conditioner and I didn’t have to wash my hair with dish soap and smell like generic Palmolive the rest of the day. (My elder son is low functioning Autistic and has an ocd quirk where he washes his hands all the time, then also dumps every bottle of liquid no matter if it is soap or vinegar down the drain. New hiding spots only last so long before he finds them, and yeah, we lock em, but it is easy to forget and leave the best smelly bulk size suave in the tub awaiting instant liberation to the wastewater treatment plant freedom.
It is just me and two special needs teenage boys getting through each day as it comes. Financially we are accustomed to going without extras at times. Their dad is the eldest child, who manages to be of burden more than of assistance, and hasn’t found his feet in the several years we separated, so, no child support. It is nearly impossible for me to keep up with a typical schedule for work, or even keep a schedule, as my elder son is quite difficult behaviorally, and it isn’t unusual I need to stop everything and pick him up from a bad day at school. Or any other day there is no school, rarely is there anyone (outside of limited community respite hours) trained or willing to take him even on a good day. That has just been our normal though. This year hit a couple extra roughg spots, we lost our backup support when we lost my boyfriend’s father who treated me as his own daughter to COPD. And as death affects people so unexpectedly, my bf broke my heart as I was packing up his dad’s apartment all by myself, out of nowhere from being the closest two could be throughout the process of saying goodbye and funeral and everything, he left me for the escape to a different life with a different female. That hit me hard, as he suddenly didn’t want to have the responsibility of my kids, or helping out anymore here and there (he bought my kids their birthday presents more often than their dad ever did). All is fine between us now, though not together still – we have always been friends first. Those two supports were the glimmers of hope when things got too much of a struggle and I didn’t want to burden my own mom, who is dealing with way too much through my father’s worsening dementia and pallative care.
Still, it is just life, some good, some bad, some really good, and some devastating to the point of landing in the land of PTSD and general anxiety disorder. Yay 🙂
I try and keep my chin up, and find humor in everything I can, so today landed on a reread of the story of Beyoncé the Giant Metal chicken… because it was one absolutely perfection of humor, and two, totally something I would have done had I that opportunity.
Kids are happy with what they have for the most part, the younger is quite pragmatic and doesn’t ask for much of anything. So it doesn’t matter so much they don’t get much of anything for Christmas. It would be nice to surprise them with the bizarre things that they find glee in.
I add in for myself, only because I have been wanting to read Furiously Happy since it came out, but I haven’t had extra on a card to order it, it hasn’t appeared at our library as of yet, and we live on a kinda remote island where the only bookstore is whatever the local Walmart picks – rarely anything as amazing as Jenny Lawson. (The giant green Legend of Zelda history book the one exception that came close).
Someday I will be the gifter again. I adore the bloggess community, you are all the best inspirational humans on the internet. And Jenny, you are my personal hero in so many wonderfully quirky just like me ways.

Hi! Brandi from post 1307– Got our first gift package delivered today, and I’m so excited to have something under the tree I started crying. Thank you so much Secret Santa!!!
I wanted to repost my list because with the list burried in the middle of thousands, each of the kids only got one gift, which is still humbling and amazing, but I realized I that the kids need socks and/or underwear. I took off all the toys that were over $20 so all that remains is a second toy for each kid and the newly added socks and/or unders. I didn’t take the booster high chair thing off, even though it has nearly doubled in price since adding it, because we don’t have any alternative seating for her and it’s still the cheapest one out there.
I know Jenny asked for no additions and changes, so I’m sorry, but I’m not trying to be deceitful, so I wanted to explain it here. I just didn’t think about the fact that they need underwear and I’m not buying those at goodwill!! LOL With the gifts already purchased, they are still at just about $40 each, so even though I made changes I was very careful to keep the limit in mind. I know it looks like a lot, but I am not trying to be greedy…it’s just a big family! Thank you for understanding and forgiving my blonde moment when creating the original list. Here is our list again: http://a.co/7YrgYzn
God bless you all this holiday season, and Merry Christmas!!
Me again posting from UK
I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has bought gifts off our list. I really cant thank you enough. Especially after my girls gift was bought i added bits for my neice and nephew who are both autistic and my sister is a single sahm so its not easy. 1 gift for each my neice and nephew was bought today,thank you whoever you may be x
A really big thank you from the bottom of our heart i cant wait for them to see their gifts you kind people of brought.
I deleted the sweets for my girls as they could do with more important things haha
Merry christmas everyone hope everyone has a good holiday xx

Hi, Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves.
I told my husband and he’s sending a message to Aaron now telling him that gifts are coming to his in-laws for the kids. Please, please don’t be offended or upset if you don’t get a thank you in response from them. They are absolutely technologically incompetent somehow. Husband’s trying to explain to his brother, via message, how to go back into amazon and look at the wishlist…I don’t think its going well lol
Original post #1822, I have been reading over some of the posts and wanted to note that our amazon account has my husbands name Josh on it, not mine. Also, I almost feel like since my kids don’t want typical toys, I don’t want anyone to think that we or I am trying to play the system. I love to sew and knit, and my kids love crafts as well, so I was looking over my list and it seems the items they chose could be misread as not for kids. I promise everything there is for kids. If anyone wants to contact me, I will gladly give you my info.
I apologize if I sound crazy, I’ve never been in a situation to need to ask for help and my husband says I’m terrible at it lol I feel like so many people need so much more than us, that I am always trying to validate asking for anything and most times I can talk myself out of asking.
Happy Holidays everyone!!
To Heather of comment #46 – I was telling my son (Avery, 8, crazy Pokemon fan) about this whole thing a few days ago and just today he handed me one of his small Pokemon books and said “It’s for that charity thing, you know, the girl who likes Pokemon too?” He REALLY wants to give her some of his cards. I noticed that your wishlist has already been fulfilled so I don’t really have any way of finding your address. Not sure if this is allowed (or smart…. Please don’t steal my identity, random internet crooks!) but if you wouldn’t mind contacting me via email – tffnhrtn@gmail.com – that would be awesome!
Sooooo on another unrelated but very related note, my Bank called me… imagine that LOL
Seems there’s been some very unusual purchasing activity on my debit card and they wanted to make sure:
1) it was… you know… me. Why yes it is Me.
2) was I okay? And yes, yes I am doing AWESOME.
And 3) May I ask what you’re doing? Why yes, yes you may.
I went on to explain what I was doing and why and all about the Reindeer and Australian Reinbears and the Waddle of Penguins…. and guess what? The customer service representative is going to send out a few reindeer of her own.
Now THAT is the true spirit of Christmas… infectious, highly-contagious James Garfield the Boar. It’s like he’s just running amok sneezing on everyone 😛
Ok so I don’t know what happened but now my daughter doesn’t have a jacket and the warm outfit with the hat was also taken off so it’s down to just Megan with a jacket.if I get dulpicate items then I will just pass on to another person in need or something but now it’s showing that just Megan has a jacket and no jacket for roselynn or the warm outfit
Not sure of who purchased ALL the items on the wishlist I created for my son, but THANK YOU. Thank you so much–I can’t tell you what this means! #2027

❤❤❤ I am a mother of 3 wonderful little girls. I try my best to empower them and show them how to be independent. I have never been able to bring myself to ask for help, but I feel as if I am letting them down this Christmas. We have never had an extravagant Christmas haigui hardly get anything close to what some other families get for Christmas. Christmas to us is more about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Celebrating family and friends and spending time together as one. I would deeply appreciate any help that is given and as soon as I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I don’t expect anything for myself this Christmas just my children. And I honestly don’t expect that from anyone either, but it would it be extremely appreciated and I would be forever grateful. May God forever bless you all!

HalfDozenHopefuls #1822/2389.. The ArtyCrafty Penguins are waddling your way! One of the penguins with the embroidery hoops is going the long way and won’t get to you until after New Years. I suspect she’s using them as a Hula Hoop 😀 Merry Christmas
Karen I sent you a email my email address is j.mayo20152012@gmail.com if anyone that ordered and cancelled wants to get a hold of me thanks
Jessica M #2699 Don’t despair. James Garfield is ALL festively over this. I’m going to wait until tomorrow (and let Amazon catch up with whatever is going on with the Quantities) and i’ll make sure that the Reindeer deliver Roselynn’s jacket and the warm outfit.
Thank you, for doing this again this year. A friend told me about Jenny last year, and it saved the kids holiday. I was hoping things would get better by Christmas, but I am drowning in debt. I have custody of four of my grandkids, and I am on a fixed income. I will have a fifth grandbaby here for Christmas, so I have included her as well. I can’t see having something for everyone else in the house to open, except the one that does not live with me. I hope that I am not too late to join. God bless every one of you and have a Merry Christmas!
http://a.co/jf0dv5B-Sorry, it did not go in the original comment.
Hey Allesandra (1338), You’ve got some things on the way for each of your kids. From our family to yours, peace and love to you this Christmas and in the coming New Year.
Rogan and Jeffery #2695.. I don’t do it for the thank you… I do it for the kids so please please don’t worry. If the kids get the gifts, then I’m as festively happy as James Garfield is… only less toothy.. and well, not stuffed and mounted on Jenny’s wall =)
Karen the Elf!! I can’t say thank you enough! Merci! Danke! Grazie! you are amazing…I am in tears! my boys are going to be so thankful, and extra surprised after new years! I am very thankful for your kindness. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and new year as well!! You have brought joy and smiles to my boys at a time when I could not..You’re my hero <3
Thank you Karen God bless you
Originally #2489
Only one gift was bought and that’s okay because we will get so much enjoyment
Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you to the one who blessed us!
This is amazing! I’m overwhelmed with how much generosity everyone has. It truly warms my heart. It’s something I needed to see right now. With as hard this year has been on us, knowing how many people are willing to help others, it’s simply beautiful.
I cannot wait until I can pay this forward next year.
A wonderful woman has purchased a few things from my daughter’s list, and when I saw her kindness, I couldn’t help but cry.
Seriously, everyone helping out here, you are all angels. Each and every one of you.
We’ve had some rough times in the past, but all that had affected us financially, were related to my husband, until this year. I’ve always been the one to hold things together. But, with me being to sole provider now (He can no longer work due to the injuries to his back and the multiple surgeries he’s had.), not only did we lose financially, but the glue (me), was broken too.
Our amazing daughter (she will be 16 in February), has stepped up to the plate and helped out far more than I ever imagined her having to do. From helping my husband with meals and chores, to staying up all night with me to make sure I was OK. Even holding my hair while I was stuck, sick as a dog, in the bathroom. Everything she has done, these past months, has been on her own. Not once did we ask, or expect, her to do anything.
I guess that’s why I feel so bad about not having anything for her this year. She’s said she doesn’t want/need anything and that makes my heart break even more. This year has shown me what a beautiful young lady she’s becoming.
Again, thank you all for the amazing, beautiful, selfless, gifts you’ve given to everyone this year.
=)
This is her wish list link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3CWSHS1VRH2GI
We are quite late but I hope we haven’t missed the boat completely. We have struggled the last few years and I had hoped to manage Christmas on my own this year, but that is not how things played out. We just moved into a new place because our landlord unfortunately passed away and all his tenants were served with 30 day vacate notices. We had to scramble to find a place and we luckily did but it all but wiped us out and money is skin tight right now. My husband and I have 2 beautiful little girls who deserve the world and if I could just get a little bit of help with their Christmas, I would be so much in your debt.
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet.

I’m sorry for posting so late and I hope there are still some of Santa’s magic floating around for us, if not thats ok, too, I’m just so happy to see so many kids wishes get fulfilled and so many kids have an awesome Christmas thanks to this place. Thanks for reading guys!
Hello and thank you to our secret santa. Received two packages today. One contained to board games and the other a blanket. The sender’s were Cassandra and James Garfield. Thank you so much. I’m concerned because I received notification from the post office that three packages were left at the door but there were only two. I have the tracking number of the missing package but it only tells me when and from where it was sent but not if it was an Amazon package. What do I do now?
Hip Hop Anonymous post at number 2714 was me, Sadie Lou. Sometimes this phone post Anonymous and sometimes it lets me at the name. Any ways if someone send a package to Sadielu and it says it was received today and you are not Cassandra or James Garfield I did not receive the package even though it says I did.
I hate this phone. I did not say hip hop anonymous.

My daughter wants to be a vet and asks for a zoology coloring book and markers. Thank you kind soul who bought her socks! My youngest son would like a fidget cube. He has ADHD and picks at his clothes a lot, maybe this would help. My oldest was bought a puzzle – Thank You angel who got it for him! I was able to get them new toothbrushes and deoderants and soaps myself so they each have something needed to open.

Sending a greatful Thank you to whoever bought from our wishlist!!! I know my lil guy will love the book, and my twims will love the socks, makeup and hair stuffs! Thank you for making our christmas brighter. 😘😘😘
#2657 here… I was going to try to edit my post but that doesn’t seem to be an option. If someone decides to help with a coat for one of my boys, it’s definitely the bigger one who needs it most. The middle guy (hunter) has the hand me down from his brother and it fits him just has a busted zipper. The oldest (Zieke) is wearing his from last year and it’s too small by quite a bit. I just wanted to update that in case someone wanted to just do one. I tried to pick the absolute cheapest ones on prime… unfortunately they don’t have much available.
Thank you to the kind person that picked up the items for my 3 daughters. My night is made. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas. Thank you so much.
Cheryl M Luttig – the link you posted does not work. Can you try again?
I’m hoping we arent entirely too late. I would be so grateful to receive help for my daughter. She is autistic. I put a couple of books, a therapy item, and a blanket nap mat (she utterly refuses to sleep on a mattress and I think this will work for nighttime?) And one toy. I’m a single mom and struggle to work and balance therapies anx her needs. I’m hoping there’s a chance we can get help still. Thank you 🎅
I forgot to link a list!

Thank you so much! Everyones kiddos have something coming. I cant tell you how excited everyone is for the holidays now. ❤ Thank you all who have helped us all.
I’m Olivia. I’m 22 and I have a three year old daughter. I’m working (part time) and I also attend school part time but it’s been a little hard lately. We had to move back in with my mom this summer (roommate troubles–oh boy!) and she does the best she can to help us but I gotta say we’re all stretched pretty thin! My baby girl is my world but there’s just not a lot of money to do what I want for my Riley this year. Anyway, here’s my wish list for her. Thanks for whatever you can do.

I just made my kids wish list. I’m a mom of 6 life has been hell over the last year we lost our home due to flooding and black mold my son in heart failure and a move with no extra money for anything we need as a family let alone Christmas. I need a miracle.
I’m not sure if I did this right. 🙁 I’m not computer smart..
Hello, I’m the OP of 2519;
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the person/people who purchased the Legos, extra PS3 controller, Minecraft book and most importantly the boots for my oldest. Your generosity has moved me to tears. I appreciate you beyond words. Without a doubt, this was the absolute best thing to wake up to.
The controller and book were intended for sharing, and the Legos are mostly shared anyways. So, I am absolutely ok of those are all the ‘toys’ that get fulfilled.
However, i would be ever so grateful if someone would be willing to purchase the pair of boots still on the list for my younger daughter.
Once again, many thanks in advance. <3

Comment #2603 THANK YOU & the book club so much… I know the kids will have me reading these every night… 😀
Repost: #2379
Not sure if my list was created properly, but I think I fixed it!
One lists for two appreciative little boys. We (as a family) took a hit to the budget to be able to house my ill mother. She was homeless, and we purchased a lot and a trailer for her. Now we have 5 years of loan payments to make (on top of our own expenses) while taking care of her. We all live off my husband’s income and he is a wonderful man to provide for, and take care of my mother like he is!! The boys get to see grandma daily and understand that the $ is tight, but they are willing to sacrifice the toys to get to spend the night at grandma’s house!! Thank you for anything and everything you can offer!

I was hoping it would be okay if I shared my son’s wishlist. He’s the light of my life and deserves so much better than we can ever give him. He’ll be the only one getting presents this year, which is okay – we’ve been there before, but I wanted to make this a very special Christmas as it’s been a ridiculously hard year for him, and our family. Thank you very much.

Hi just trying again. Posted earlier and I either did it wrong or possibly overlooked? I don’t know I think I posted the right link and have it set up correctly but if it’s wrong can someone let me know? My post was #2647 Any help would be appreciated, but especially for my daughter as she still believes, my son is older and will understand if he has to wait until tax time to get something
the link for our wishlist is http://a.co/io62M0d
Reposting the wishlist for my niece and nephews. The shoelaces and mug for my niece would be so appreciated but not necessary as she’s 14 and better understands the situation with finances. But if a kind Santa could help with the remaining item each for her younger brothers, that would be so wonderful! Thank you for helping me help them this Christmas!

Hi im kayla , i need help getting Christmas for my kids. My son was born early and has alot of needs. Hes delayed does developmental and physical therapy weekly and feeding therapy monthly he has alot of doctors appointments from brain mri to tubes in his ears . Im currently a stay at home mom since i have so many doctors appointments and therapy sessions with him . My husband works at a restaurant but bills , gas , vehicle costs and home improvements cost alot on one income. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
I am reposting cause my last post got mangled somehow. We are quite late but I hope we haven’t missed the boat completely. We have struggled the last few years and I had hoped to manage Christmas on my own this year, but that is not how things played out. We just moved into a new place because our landlord unfortunately passed away and all his tenants were served with 30 day vacate notices. We had to scramble to find a place and we luckily did but it all but wiped us out and money is skin tight right now. My husband and I have 2 beautiful little girls who deserve the world and if I could just get a little bit of help with their Christmas, I would be so much in your debt.
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet. Here is her wishlist. http://a.co/dj3dZfT
I’m sorry for posting so late and I hope there are still some of Santa’s magic floating around for us, if not thats ok, too, I’m just so happy to see so many kids wishes get fulfilled and so many kids have an awesome Christmas thanks to this place. Thanks for reading guys!
This is a group of lists for a little family that has has nothing but tragedy this year. I’m doing what I can, and hoped that you guys could do just a little bit more to make it special. If you can, they will be over the moon. If you can’t, I completely understand. They’ve lost more than anyone deserves to lose in a lifetime. You guys have given so much already, I understand if you have nothing left to give. Thank you for giving it all a look.

You guys are freaking awesome! So much holiday cheer and loveliness being shared. Someone bought a couple of things from my kids list (one 1 thing left! Amazing.) and I looked through comments to say thank you but nobody spoke up to claim it. So, whoever you are, thank you, truly. We only have one thing left that they had asked for (and it’s pricey so I understand!) which means they are going to be some amazingly happy children come Christmas morning.
Also, Karen, so funny your bank called! They must have thought you went mad.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1JCCMPWSIGAKF
I forgot to say, the one thing they had left on their list I had apparently chosen a digital code. I just realized and changed it out for the actual physical copy. That’s why it’s changed up.
Hi there. I am not quite sure how this works. but I posted this on the 9th and thought I would try again, keeping my hopes up for a small miracle. In all, I have 15 grandchildren, ranging in age from 4 months to 22 years. I am not concerned with most of them, because their parents are doing ok and they are taken care of for the most part, but this year I was blessed with three beautiful grand babies and then there is my 3 year old grand daughter Hailey.. These 4 beautiful babies have been through some extremely unfortunate events. I don’t ever ask for anything in life. God always seems to provide enough, Mamma and dad to baby girl are missing a lot of work because my granddaughter has a tumor on her head that needs constant monitoring and surgery next month, Daddy number 2 just started a new job and is barely scraping by with his toddler girl. Daddy number 3 was just laid off and mamma is still on unpaid maternity leave, and mamma number 4 is struggling to support her baby girl without daddy in the picture and we all have felt the blow this year! I, myself have had my hours at work cut in half due to “the season” so I am barely making ends meet. Right now, surviving has become a priority over toys and things for Christmas, so, anything would help! Thanks for listening… Michelle https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25YZ5E7IEQAKK?&sort=default
Sorry to post so late, but today was just so stressful, I just couldnt get myself together to get down here. I took a chance and it paid off ! The internet doesnt get cutoff at night here !
I am Melissa from #1330 and I wanted to say how grateful I am for the gifts. They started coming in today ! The kids are going to be so happy that “Santa” came ! I am praying for a chance that someone will still be up or see this in the morning. I was hoping someone could send Micheal a crib mobile. He is fighting bedtime so hard and completely tiring me out ! I didnt realize how dependent he was on his til it broke, Despite the cold I was so thankful my neighbor could sit with them while I walked down here, because I honestly needed a break. I added it as a idea, just in case the one like he had was too much. Anything with lights and music would do I think. He has always been such a good little guy ! And bedtime used to be so easy 🙂 Now it is so hard and stressful for us both.
I am sorry to have to ask, but I am just praying. I am so thankful for the activity cube he is getting and the books and figures for Joseph. And Gracie is gonna love her ponies and pets. Thank you so much again ! It is colder than all get out so I am going to go. Thank you and Merry Christmas !

Sorry, I was post #1303. My fingers were cold !
Hello, Finding this website has been a godsend. I have 2 boys and an adult daughter. Recently, my husband walked out on us and leaving us with no plan of action. I was a stay at home mom. We were forced to move into public housing and I have since found work but am playing catch up on our moving expenses and new bills. I am heartbroken and never saw this coming. I would just like to have a few things under the tree for my boys. I love that so many people are compassionate and caring for others during their worst times and in times of great need. I will be forever grateful and never forget the kindness of others. Thank you everyone!
Here is the link to our wishlist:

Bryanna, some things will be heading to you, hopefully tomorrow. I hope 2019 is a much better year for you. Merry Christmas!
Thank so much rich we got a pack today while we were out and about.!
I am having a tough year this year, I filed for divorice in October after 21 yrs of marriage. He was very controlling & emotionally abusive, as well as having a inappropriate relationship with his 23 yr old cousin. I don’t work but do get paid to be my 6 yr old daughter with Down syndrome PCA. My soon to be ex has canceled all credit cards & emptied the joint checking account, so I’m trying to feed, and care for my 14 & 6 yr old, pay bills & put gas in my vehicle with $840 a month, as well as helping out my 20 yr old at college too.
I am very grateful to anyone that can help me give my youngest 2 a happy Christmas.
Thank you all so much!
Here’s both kids list!

Heather #2749 your link just takes us back to our own amazon account. Might want to double check your link.
From Brandi Hurst:
Thank you. Whoever you are… God bless you and yours. Everything was purchased. I wasn’t going to check anymore and then I did. Two hours. I’m so speechless. I don’t know who you are, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Hoping someone is able to help my family out by purchasing this winter coat for my son so he can stay warm. Holidays are tough and the jacket he has now is just a light windbreaker. We do not have the funds for me to even visit the thrift store and find a coat. Thank you

So I came across this blog and I have been debating with my self about posting. But I have came to easy what would it hurt to post and ask for help, as I am usually the one helping so I guess that’s why it’s hard for me to ask. But I have 4 handsome boys in need of Christmas, and I am not able to give them. As it takes every thing I make to feed and suply a home electric and the basic need. I hope I ain’t to late on getting help for some special elfs and angles.
So for starters I have baby h he is 10months this will be his first Christmas. He is a happy play for boy. I know he want remember this year but I feel should at lest have a Lil feeling of Christmas.
Here is his wish list

I tried very hard to stay close the the $40 limit as most of there items are close.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps fill my kids list. It is greatly appreciated more then you would ever know.
I had to fix our address- it should be working now I think… I’m hoping we arent entirely too late. I would be so grateful to receive help for my daughter. She is autistic. I put a couple of books, a therapy item, and a blanket nap mat (she utterly refuses to sleep on a mattress and I think this will work for nighttime?) And one toy. I’m a single mom and struggle to work and balance therapies anx her needs. I’m hoping there’s a chance we can get help still. Thank you 🎅Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1XHY5GG7OVN7Q
Lisa 1814, 2058, 2252, 2392, 2420, 2478, 2612, 2734. Many people remember you from last year.
AJ/Andrew looks like he is all set for Christmas with nearly $200 worth of great items. You might want to consider removing the remaining $250 requests on his list as he is taken care of but many others still need help. You completely ignored Jenny’s rules. The rules you helped make necessary by your behavior last year.
Granted, the $200 is less than the $1000 in gifts you got last year, but it’s still a good haul.
Julie, #2741, , there are items headed your way, and should arrive Dec 20-22. Merry Christmas to your family from mine!
Thank you!!! Please please Heavenly Father bless my angel!!! Thank you!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Monique,
So glad to hear the reindeer made a successful delivery. I think there’s still one more item on the way so keep a lookout for hoof prints.
Bethany G I just borrowed my parents laptop again and saw you said something about my wishlist address. I am sorry about that. I just added it again. I did it to an amazon locker first but they didn’t tell me it won’t work for my location until after but amazon did respond to my email today that everyone bought stuff this weekend would get a refund since the items wouldn’t be delivered. So then I put our house address, but I really dont expect anyone to buy anything after I messed it all up. I just wanted to help my family, but people shouldnt be stressed over it when I am the one who didnt make the list right I’m sorry it was such a mess. thank you for checking ont he address for me merry christmas to you. Im grateful that someone emailed me today that they were buying my sister a shirt that is one gift I know she will get thank you again
Jeri Haft #2752, will you please contact me at txmomathome (@) gmail dot com? I see that you requested a nerf item for your 14-year-old. Would you like a Nerf Mega Mastadon instead? You can look at it on amazon here: (https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Mega-Mastodon/dp/B01BH928KM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1513138975&sr=8-2&keywords=nerf+mega+mastadon)
I cannot afford to buy anything off right now, but I have one brand new in box that I purchased really cheap at an after Christmas sale last year and would love to bless your family with it. I understand your situation – I have 6 kids (1 in college), and my husband of 20 years and I are separated due to his addiction issues. I would love to help you out if you are okay with this, and with sharing your address with me via email.
Hoping someone is able to help my family out by purchasing this coat for my son since he only has a light jacket and it’s nothing that will keep him warm in the cold. Holidays are tough. We do not have the funds for me to even visit the thrift store and find a coat. Thank you

Anonymous (#2747, 2755, 2766, and original 2584) – I just looked at your link (as I hate to see a kid go without a coat), and noticed that there is already a jacket and socks going to both of your boys, b/c I purchased them earlier today. I also noticed that your original list has been deleted off of amazon. I only mention it b/c it looks suspicious – but I’m going to assume positive intent. Would you prefer the new coat you have listed instead of the one from your list in post 2584? If so I’m happy to cancel the original coat and replace it with this one. Let me know
Hi everyone! Hope I’m not too late. Single mom here to a wonderful 9 year old! He wants to be an Astronomer, so I’m looking to get him a telescope. He can use some cold weather items too. Here is my list: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1TEO0HQPJ0AH4
Wow, anonymous #2760, good catch. I don’t know about last year, but it is pretty sad when someone has gotten that much and still asking for more when there are so many that are still looking for just one present or warm coats 🙁 Really sad when some of us are struggling just to get a few things under our own trees to see something like that. I haven’t spent a lot of time looking at others lists or what they got, almost wish I didn’t know that now it’s just plain greedy of some people.
You’ve got somethings on your way, 487. They should arrive by the 22nd. Happy Christmas!
Emily! yes ! I’m so glad you’ve seen that actually. I wanted to reach you but had no idea how. I was so thankful you saw my post today and purchasd the jacket and socks for my two boys ❤️❤️ I didn’t catch it before but I read the reviews on my oldest sons jacket and they were awful and mentioned that it looks like it’s a nice warm jacket but is actually very thin. I’m sorry you went thru the time to purchase it, I should have looked at it more carefully but was in a hurry trying to find one available in his size. This is the Gods honest truth, my intentions were to hopefully get another one for him that had reviews that it would keep him warm and return the other jacket with the credit going back to you. My first thought was to see if you could swap them but I had no idea if I could find you again. If you’re able to do that I would greatly appreciate it !! That would be so nice
Thank you so much Rich.!
Does anyone know how the exchange process works if you requested the wrong size of something? I apparently listed “big kid ” instead of toddler for my youngest and as happy as he was to get “boots mommy!” And “gloves on my hands!” The sizes are such that they won’t fit… for like 10 years. The other kids boots all fit fantastically, and I cried all over again watching them all open them and try them on. you ladies really are amazing.
I started the return process on the boots, but I’ve never returned anything like this. It said there would be a credit of some kind, does anyone know how long it will take to be able to order the correct size?
I can’t thank you amazing people enough and currently am feeling incredible mom guilt for ordering the wrong size shoes, I should have paid closer attention to that.
Thank you a million times again for answering this mom’s stupid questions.
<3
I put the correct size on the list so I wouldn’t lose them. If you select “actions”, then “filter” and “purchased and unpurchased” it will show you the ones we’re returning and the corrected size, i dont know if the vendor matters in returns, but here’s the information I do have. Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/35RSRCD8S92TF
No problem!! I will switch them out now 🙂
Oh thank you so so much!!! I’m so sorry about that and appreciate you so much.
Father of 3; had an industrial accident and nearly lost my leg. Kids are 8, 6, and 2 and Christmas around our house is going to be pretty grim for them but we’ll carry on. Well wishes and thanks to all people who have helped out on this project – this makes me happy like no other thing!
Christina – you’re all set 🙂 The new coat will arrive on Monday! It’s funny, I actually wondered how warm the original coat was going to be when I looked at it…but I’m from Chicago, so anything that’s not a parka looks too thin LOL.Hopefully both your boys will be nice and toasty warm now! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Emily. You’re a blessing ❤️
Lol We live in GA as you could see so nothing extreme here but I didn’t want someone’s hard earned money going to something that wouldn’t keep him warm even down here. These coats are just perfect now. Thank you for your help and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.
Thank you to the santa who bought the sheets for my brothers girls! I know bedclothes aren’t as exciting as toys but they are much needed. If anyone is able to help with at least one twin size mattress protector that would be awesome. My 17 yr old nephew has breathing problems, asthma and I think it might help at night. I originally posted on 2451 (I think!)

Hello, again, wonderful angels!
Since I do plan on providing toys for the three youngsters who were not fortunate enough to be selected, I have removed their items from the Wish List. However, if there is anyone who would be willing and able to help with the book for the first family (the 3-year old), I would greatly appreciate it. There is absolutely no way I will be able to get the damaged copy replaced in time for the holidays, otherwise, and I know she would absolutely love it.
Thank you, and have a wonderful holiday.

Anonymous @ 2773,
I think I’m the only one posting as Rich so I’ll assume that was for me and acknowledge your thanks by saying it was truly my pleasure and you are most welcome. Merry Christmas..
Hi, I’m Laynie (from comment 749 & 762, which happened because my screen didn’t show my comment so I posted twice by accident). Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of everyone here. We have received a couple of items from the wishlist for my daughter, and the last show they’ve been purchased so I’m sure they will arrive before too long. I could not have made my little hirl’s wishes come true without you lovely, beautiful souls. I know life isn’t fair and we don’t always get what we want. I know my daughter is learning that too. But you have helped her hold onto the hope that in spite of everything, sometimes we DO get the blessings we hope for… and the longer she can hold onto that, the deeper it will be engrained in her own soul of giving and receiving blessings with grace. Plus, you’ve reminded this Mama of the same things that are hard to hold onto sometimes, like hope and the best of humanity. My grandmother says we often don’t get to see the best of people until we have a need, and she is right. It is when we are in the dark that we notice how brightly the light of love and compassion and the human spirit pierces through to show us the way forward. I can’t think you all enough, Jenny for hosting this craziness (yet again!!) and all those who chose to give — to my daughter and to others — for the gift they have given the world by being a willing participant in the craziness we call loving one another. With deepest gratitude and truest love —
Hello. Im a 32 year old mother of 2! My 5 yr old daughter and 8 month son. Right before having my son, their father, my boyfriend of 8 years left. On hus own terms he is not involved. I am a nurse and i work 12- 13 hour shifts at night to make do for us. However i sm being garnished 800.00 a month from a credit card i had to take out while in nursing school. And my only vehicle was repossessed today. Ive tried to get assistance but everyone takes your income prior to taxes and garnishment into consideration, the government doesnt listen to the full story! My friend told me about this program and i had to give it a shot. I listed a few toys for each/ and winter wear. Ive learned to not expect anything. But anything would help me give my kids a Christmas morning. Eapecially my daughter. Shes been through so many changes this year.

To Emily @ 2768, Anonymous (#2747, 2755, 2766, and original 2584) is also the Christina/Anonymous responsible for posts #2497, 2514, 2608, 2720, & 2767. Post 2402 has a different name at the top of the list when you click the link, but they all go to Christina S*******’s address. Some of the lists have been deleted (probably fulfilled, then deleted); others are still active. Just wanted to give everyone a head’s up; might want to double check before sending anything else.

I am sorry to post again, but I took some items off of the list we had made (after reading instructions) and also have a special request for those that would be willing. I have a petition on change.org, for attempting to get a mutual child support agreement in place with Turkiye, as we have it with 26 other countries. And I need 100 signatures to get it in front of someone at the Department of Justice. PLEASE, WOULD YOU SIGN OUR PETITION? It is truly for all parents and children, as I have needed help so many times and am unable to get it from their father. And I imagine so many other parents struggle with this. When we went homeless this year for 90 days (sleeping mostly in our car as I am not on drugs nor fleeing domestic violence, and I still made it to a new job and the school board meeting about bullying!) ) in Spokane, WA, I asked him for help, the boys even emailed him from facebook, messages read with no reply. And he is very able to help.
This is one of the best gifts you could give many parents struggling with getting child support from a parent in another country. Thank you!!!!

Thank you for listening (reading) and whomever you are, wherever you are ….. Merry Christmas and Happy Yule. Remember the magic in the little things, like cocoa and snowflakes and try to leave anything bad or unhappy from this past year, in the past. May you be blessed with a true heart, clear mind and unwavering sense of purpose. Remember that even in our worst times, there is most often a lesson or silver lining. If you are struggling, ask for help. Start by just saying out-loud and to nobody first if you need to! We are ALL in this together.

first of all none of my kids names are Parker and Rowan so you need to check and see who you’re using me under there is more than one person named Christina on here I posted under one name and that was Christina Segundo. you have no proof that I had posted under any other name but the name that I have posted. I have not checked the other post that you claim that I posted on but 2497 is a completely different Christina. funny how you’re going to claim that I am every Christina on this blog. I can vouch that I posted several times just like everyone else did but I posted under my name with my for kids and that was it. if you feel so strongly that I am every Christina on this blog then email jenny and ask her. I am real tired of you running my name into the ground when I have done nothing wrong except for work my butt off for my children. I did not delete anything from the list that was purchased for my children. I did add more to their list because I sent the list to my family who also live in other states. You need to quit playing Detective because you suck at it with no proof
(Christina, I understand how frustrating this can be. I can say that when I look at Bryanna’s list it does say it’s for a Christina Segundo at the same IP address as you. I’m not sure what the issue is. Maybe someone else in your family is using it to make a list on your account. I don’t know. But I understand why people would think it was suspicious and I’m sure you do to. Regardless, you have many kids who need help and that is the truth so that alone qualifies you to ask for help. Whether you made a separate list out of desperation or whether someone else in your house did it without your knowledge I’d like to think that the presents will go to children who really need it. If, for some reason, you find that you did get more gifts than you feel comfortable with, please donate them to your local children’s shelter. If it’s just a really incredibly bizarre fluke then just ignore it and know that it’s understandable that anyone looking at the list would see a problem. I’ve sent presents to both Christina and to Bryanna and I hope they go to needy children. I know you are having a very difficult time right now. I wish you luck. Please go in peace and enjoy your family. ~ Jenny)
Help help help! I think items sent to me may have gotten returned to Amazon because of an issue with my address. I did receive a few things but items that say they were purchased several days ago have not arrived and they should have come with the items I did get. I don’t know if anyone that purchased these items will see this but I think Amazon is returning these things and refunding you. I don’t know what to do and Amazon is no help because I didn’t order anything. So if anyone purchased my daughter the glitter eye shadow palette, the Miskos 35 eye shadow palette colors, the Fall Out Boy vinyl record and the Music Geeks t-shirt, I’m probably not going to be getting these things.
Hi I am Rachel my original post is number 1542, I wanted to re post as I have 3 children and have been blessed with my youngest almost 3 year old Dylan-( 19th is his Birthday this month!) . I wanted to say thank you to Jenny for Dylan’s socks they arrived today and also Becky from the UK for the warm pj’s that also arrived. I noticed more items for Dylan had been purchase and I am not sure from who , but thank you whoever you maybe and I hope you know how much this means to me.
I am re posting for help with my older children, my Daughter who turned 18 this year has one item of clothing and Tyler who is 13 also has 2 items of clothing. I added something that is more of a toy for Destiny , which is her hobby making candles. She came to me today and had asked for colors to dye candles she would like to make. She really is not into toys, she is into electronics and wants a phone and a Pandora bracelet. Those items are way too expensive and I know it would be wrong of me to ask while others are also struggling just as much as myself. I had wrote out an edit in the list and seen that you have to press more to read it all. I am sure if anyone wants to read it would be here on the site.
So , I figured to put it here as it does explain a bit more about the children, some of my financial issues. I did not get into so much detail as I know everyone is having a hard time and it was hard for me to come to terms that again I failed. I was not able to provide school supplies and clothing for school this year , have to choose which bills can be held off longer before they get to where they want to shut us off. I now am out of work and have been for a while and it is a hard pill to swallow to know you cannot provide for your children. It is not only Christmas, it is everything. They may not say it but I know they wish things were better, much better. I honestly can say if I did not have them I would just give up , they are the ones who push me , motivate me. Although it has not worked out yet, I hope it does soon. I have trouble keeping up with diapers , Dylan is behind in developmental skills and some motor skills and also is going to be tested to see if he is on the spectrum for autism. I thought for a while he was going to talk when he wanted as some children do. I now have to do more with him as well and he will be going to school soon to get help in a class of his peer closer to his age up to 5.
I wrote quite a bit now an did not realize it as my mind just kind of went along with my finger. I hope this makes some sense to whoever does read this. I am at wits end and am hoping there is some more help available for my older children Tyler and Destiny. I just think since this whole year has been a ladder of roughness in many ways, one day I can be with my children with smiles on their faces knowing Mom did not let them down this year. They have no idea I have asked for help but I have done this for them, I am not like others who are asking for themselves or other members, I do need some extra help but there is a limit here and I am not abusing the kindness of strangers who are really sticking their necks out to strangers. All you helpers/angels are wonderful people and I hope to one day come back here and join you on your team. Thank you for reading all of this and I am sorry for all the writing. I really just needed to get some things out I guess. I hope all of you helpers and those in need of help have a wonderful Holiday and your children are filled with joy with the gifts that have been bought.

I did not mean to post twice for a re-post , I tried to comment very fast that me Rachel #1542 has only commented and posted with my twitter. I did not see below it was my WordPress account , which is mine but never got the nerve to start a blog. I do not think I would be good at it, especially with how the Bloggess is so wonderful and cracks me up and so wonderful at writing. When I went to comment the error, the post i submitted was in the box so I thought maybe I was able to get the right name on there so there is no confusion. I do not see or know how or if there is a way to edit the posting name other than before submitting. I am so so very sorry that I have made another mistake and took up more space unintentionally but also did not want anyone to think anything more than a mistake. My WordPress account name is missrandonmthoughts but I am not talented like Jenny so I chose to comment using twitter from the start which is rachel (@rachelpoo81),So please ignore post 2793 as it is just a duplicated mistake. I am so so sorry again!! Please forgive me, the post #2794 should be the one to be looked at , since the other account had not been used to make any comments at all besides tonight. I apologize a billion times – Rachel #1542 and re post #2794
I don’t know if I missed the chance. But this is my daughter’s first Christmas and funds are tight. I really wish I didn’t have to ask for help. Thank you for taking the time to look she’s the best baby ever and I wish I could do more for her my self. Thank you if you are able to help.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/C3MV3S2075W4
#2657 here… I was going to try to edit my post but that doesn’t seem to be an option. If someone decides to help with a coat for one of my boys, it’s definitely the bigger one who needs it most. The middle guy (hunter) has the hand me down from his brother and it fits him just has a busted zipper. The oldest (Zieke) is wearing his from last year and it’s too small by quite a bit. I just wanted to update that in case someone wanted to just do one. I tried to pick the absolute cheapest ones on prime… unfortunately they don’t have much available.
My list is simple but desperately needed. I have 3 boys and live in the stupid cold. My youngest is able to wear hand me downs from the older 2 but the big boys need coats so bad. I applied at their school but haven’t heard anything yet. If they happen to fulfill them I will delete. Thank you for considering us! I scrolled to find the cheapest ones available in their sizes

LoriZ, I know you were one who tried to send my daughter items. It looks like according to Amazon I am not going to be getting them. Thank you so much. Please check that you got a refund because Amazon told me I have no orders coming to me so something happened, they just don’t know what. I did put my friend’s address down and if you did get your money back and would like to try to send things again I know my daughter would absolutely love to get them, especially the record and the t-shirt. Thanks again to people who tried to send me things. You are all so wonderful!

Kris, post 538
Several things will be arriving today, and some should already be there. I live in London, and if you need help getting to the Embassy for your passports, please let me know on this thread. I noticed that your link no longer works – I hope that just means you deleted it after it was filled. I hope your daughter enjoys the sewing kits – I’m always happy to see a budding seamstress! I started with my grandmother’s old sewing machine, which had forward and back, but no zig-zag. Now I make many of my own clothes, and costumes for local theatre groups.
Happy Christmas!

Several people have had problems with delivery to Amazon lockers – I think they won’t deliver gift list items to lockers. You need to use a home address.
I was asking around to help a friend of the family who’s down on their luck and someone steered me here so I figured I’d give it a shot.
I’m putting this together for Tanika, who’s a mother of 3 boys with autism. She let it slip that she was trying to get help (from Toys for Tots & the local church) with getting some Christmas presents together for her children because she wont have much money, if any, for them this year. Sadly she was turned down by both so she just accepted the reality that they’ll have to make due with whatever she can scrounge up. After fighting with her for about 30 minutes she agreed to let me see if I could pick them up a couple gifts so I asked what their kids wanted. It was like pulling teeth trying to get them to tell me things they wanted but the list they gave was:
Jacob (15) enjoys anything star wars related
Shawn (10) enjoys coloring , building things and reading
Kayleb (6) enjoys coloring, building things, reading and dinosaurs
I’m not really in the position to help her out too much but any help would be amazing. If anyone deserves a great Christmas it’s her and these kids.
Thanks a lot.

(If anyone has recommendations for the wishlist that I didn’t put up let me know so I can remove something and put that in. I tried my best to pick things I thought they’d like but I’m sure there are a bunch of cheap gifts I skimmed by.)
Bethany G, I would like to fill 487’s list if there is anything that got lost in the shuffle – I bought the one unpurchased item, but if any of the items that showed as purchased are still not filled, could you let me know?
it’s still showing no jacket purchased for roselynn and then there was 2 warm outfits and 2 toys left on her list currently the toy that keeps going up and down in price is only 12.88 right now yesterday it was $24. Thanks to anyone that can help and then both wish lists would of been filled thanks and God bless. Megan did get everything on her wish list so thanks to the angels and penguins for that.
Roselynn is still in need of a jacket and Megan’s wish list was completely filled only roselynns wish list is left thanks and God bless. If it’s a another post sorry just tried to post and didn’t show up
I would greatly appreciate any help getting these 2 learning activities for my boys. Thank you so much ❣️

Thank you for anyone that has helped my family this holiday season. I’m not going to lie, my two sons list was picked up that had 3 items each on it and their coat and socks wish list was picked up as well. I deleted my lists because I was done with the site. (Not to try and hide them, I promise) Later the thought of buying them a learning activity and school flash cards came into my mind. I cannot afford these items for my children and since I didn’t add many things on their lists that were fulfilled I made a new list with these 3 learning items. That is my post above with the link. I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to scam anyone here. I’ve already cried over the generousity of the kind people in this group. I am so thankful for the help already received. I truly was done but wanted to see if I could get these learning activities for them since my kids really needs them and I did not add it to their first list. I understand if anyone is upset a me for doing that since that’s not how this is supposed to be done. I just really wanted these learning activities for them 🙁 Also, the reason I chose anonymous is because there was so much confusion with the other person named Christina I didn’t want that mix up again. God bless.

Posting for my Mother, Tina Olson
My mother and 2 siblings moved across the country with us in May this year to make a new start, which is always difficult starting over. She is a single mom taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ. He has Aspergers, ADHD, among other emotionally crippling issues stemming from past experiences and emotionally damaging situations that we are working on learning to cope with. She also cares for my beautiful 16 year old sister, Emma. Recently, my mom was let go from her job for “not being able to keep up.” This is mainly due to some cognitive impairment issues she now faces after a major concussion/TBI she suffered last year. We were lucky to find her another job, but it is in a factory working very long hours 6 days a week. The lapse between work put her even further behind then what she was, and she is struggling to make the house payment, and simply won’t be able to provide any presents for my siblings this year. Many years in the past I have stepped up for birthdays and holidays and bought presents for them and put my mom’s name on them for her, but this year I’m simply not in the position too. If there are any extra elves or reindeer available to help my brother and sister, I’ll pay it forward two fold next year, for helping not only them, but my 2 children y’all have helped this year as well. I have attached a small list for Emma and AJ, it includes some pajamas (a Christmas eve tradition in our family) Emma loves make-up and anything foxen, and AJ is growing up way to fast for me! And could really use an electric razor. Thank you all so much in advance.

Anon @ 2786. The post for Christina # 2402 isn’t me (Christina sizemore) so that is a different person completely. I explained above (#2806) why there is a new list on my account and why the others are gone. I truly am not out to scam anyone at all.
The first chance I get I will be paying it forward. I’m so thankful for the help received from this group. – Christina sizemore
Alisha @ 2712, I’ve managed to round up a couple more reinbears, no mean feat as they usually hibernate in the summer and I’m usually zonked out after work thanks to the anti anxiety meds, can’t tell you how many hockey games I’ve missed the end of! Wait, where was I? Oh yes…
They should be lumbering up your path with a few things for your amazing daughter. She sounds quite the young lady. Amazon tells me they may arrive a day apart, perhaps there’s more beehives on one road to your place.
A grizzly bear in Australia
PS: the spell checker doesn’t like the word reinbears, I don’t know why, it’s a perfectly cromulent word.
I know I’m late, but our boys are 9 and 6, and they would be so appreciative of anything they receive (as would we)! They love board games and activities that they can do together. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/JHWIQGJMCWX4
Mac!! I just LoOoOoOoOove your Reinbears. The images of them that I have romping through my head are just hilarious!! And cromulent?!?! Cromulent is my new word of the month! And the penguins ALL agree that Reinbears ARE perfectly cromulent (see how sneaky I am… already using it in a sentence bwahahaha)
and Jessica M #posts too numerous to list… A cromulent waddle of Penguins hit the Amazon warehouse and sorted out business. They are all fleeced up and on your way (once again) Merry Christmas!
If anyone gets a chance would you mind letting me know if you’ve been able to find any boys coats under $30 that are prime available? I’m 2797 and really hate having coats so expensive on there but I can’t find anything cheaper in size 8 and 14. If someone finds any please let me know so I can change them!
Hi everyone!
James, thank you so much for creating this site. A friend just sent it to me. You, and everyone who participates, are awesome.
I have 2 boys, 13 and 7. Things are always a bit tight, but i make it work. Until last week, when my boss informed me that it’s slow, so she cut me down to just one shift a week, and boom, Christmas was out the window.
My gigantic 6’3, size 15 foot 13 year old just made the basketball team. What he needs more than anything is new shoes. My little one is 7 and loves drawing and science just like his big brother.
Thank you so much to anyone that can help <3

@ Sydney 2814. I had that problem as well and then also had trouble finding one available that would actually keep my son warm and I found this one below. It’s just over $30 but it is Prime and looks very warm. My son that is getting this one is also a size 8, so it looks like that size is still available.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073PXFKBJ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2YKBEIWJJMYVU&colid=3MDW4FIGUZWZ0&psc=1
That’s actually the one I have on there now. It was the cheapest/warmest prime I could find. This is why my kids wear hand me downs lol. Coats are expensive!
Ahhh ok. Makes sense we both had that one picked out then. It seems to be the cheapest size 8 coat available that’s warm and prime.
Thank you very much Wendy! The girls will be so excited to have gifts under the tree! 🙂
Here are their lists just in case there is a little magic left:
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet. Here is her wishlist. http://a.co/dj3dZfT

Tony #2821 – You have one gift coming for your son. I didn’t think I could afford to help anyone else, but when I saw your list I just had to. I hope someone else is able to fulfill the other wishes (just so you know, sometimes people are a bit leery of sending gift cards). You are an amazing dad, and I hope the book will save your son much heartache in the future. Christmas blessings to your family!

Oh my gosh Karen please tell those penguins thank you! I’ve been on here all morning trying to find some less expensive but every time I find one it’s unavailable in that size or prime. It’s been driving me bonkers!!! Thank you so much!
Man, reading all the comments have definitely filled my heart this morning. We see so much bad in the world, and it’s incredible to be reminded of just how awesome humans can be.
Thank you Karen and everyone else that helped…there are just 3 things left on roselynn list 2 learning toys and a Christmas outfit, if your able to help or find another toy that she can learn please do. And I know that many of you help to help the kids, so if you had any part in helping my family could you please post your name with a email address. I would like to take pictures of these two children with the toys and clothing so that you can actually see the joy that you bring. Thanks and God bless
Hey – sorry this is late. This is for my cousin, a 12-year-old boy named Brian. His father just got laid off, and his mom is a part-time substitute teacher. They have no income right now, and no way to provide Christmas for their son.

Thank you to those amazing people who blessed my family with some gifts for this Christmas. What remains on our list are small wishes but nothing important. Someone amazing gifted us popcorn, and I will learn how to make it in a pot instead of the machine I put on the wish list. I am just so honored to have been chosen by Angels. You have truly helped me feel as though I can provide my children’s one wish for this Christmas which was more time as a family. I did not know what to put on the list, aside from games and movies and snacks for family movie nights. You have help Helped fulfill the one wish I had. Thank you from the bottom of all our hearts.

Hi. I’m a single father seeking some help. It kills me to do this, but it has been very rough for me and my 3 kids. My wife passed earlier this year from cancer. This will be our first Christmas without her. I have a 16 year old who is a music junky. I swear he knows every song created. A 12 year old who loves to crochet. She learned from her mom and is pretty good at it. She asked for some fashion boots. I also have a 1 1/2 year old. She’s still learning what she likes, but right now her favorite toy is a Christmas ornament lol. Thanks in advance for any help you’re able to offer.

Hello I have posted late last night. I can not find my link or my post. I’m a single mom desperate for help. I have 6 kids and I posted the list all together as one. So I hope y’all are not thinking I’m being a greedy mom it’s a list for 6 kids 17,16,14,11,8,3.
Can anyone tell me if they can see my original post please.
My son is in heart failure and we lost our home due to a flooding and black mold. I cannot make Christmas happen for any of them this year and I’m praying for a Christmas miracle.
Hi all, I’m hoping my comment doesn’t show up twice, but I didn’t see it posted so I’m trying again. We’ve had a rough year, starting with my husband getting laid off for 3 months. The rest of the year we have been trying to catch up, but the past few weeks we’ve been slammed with car repairs, hundreds of dollars in emergency dental surgery for my husband, and just yesterday our hot water heater died, leaving no money for Christmas. I have 10 year old twin girls, and a 6 year old son. My son still believes in Santa, so I don’t want him to think Santa forgot about him this year! We live in the US and would appreciate any help. Thank you so much!

Jessica M – I picked out a different learning toy for your youngest yesterday, in place of the one you had on there which was unavailable when I looked at your list. This is the one I sent: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ICG3OC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I thought it was adorable! As soon as I placed my order though, your original one was back in stock at roughly the same price as the giraffe. Figures! So there is something coming for her 🙂 I wish I could help more, but it sounds like Karen The Greatest Elf In the History of Elfdom has already got you covered!
Hello All! I’m looking for a little help for my son this year. He’s nine and he loves to read and he also loves Harry Potter and Doctor Who. I put 2 books, 1 Doctor Who item, and 1 Harry Potter item on his list.
I’m in school and I’ve been unemployed for several years as I try to finish my degree. I’m almost there; I just finished my thesis and I graduate in May, so employment is only a few months off! Thanks to anyone who helps and I can’t wait to have a job so I can help someone, too.

I just realized I forgot to put the link to A.J.’s list. Sorry! Here’s the whole post again.

Hello,
My Name is Sarah A. Jaghamin and I have 5 wonderful grandchildren that I am caring for now. I live in an intentional community in the Catskill Mountains of New York. A lovely young lady that lives here said that this list blessed her and her children this holiday season and suggested that I give it a tr because of my situation.
I understand that we all have a sad story in our lives and my life is full of them. I am feeling less than jolly this holiday season, About 7 weeks ago my only child my daughter and her by a husband were driving to work when they were hit head on by a drunk driver. They both lost their lives due to that accident. I went from retired grandma to mommy/daddy/grandma/provider all at once and with my limited social security its hard.
The life insurance managed to cover the funerals and bills, My check and the assistance I get convers the bills and food but not much else. I am trying to squeak out a holiday to help the kids feel more in the holiday spirit. It so hard since I am grieving too,
I just can’t get myself to celebrate to much but I am trying for them … I hate asking for help but I just have to in order to have something under the tree. I am thankful for anything you may be able to do for these little angels. They are hurting so much but all the =y want to do is take care of me,
**** Interesting point *******
The kids were raised Wiccan so they love WIcca stuff and Pagan things thats why its on the list — if you feel a different book or calendar is more appropriate is better I understand or if its against your religious beliefs I apologizes for offending you.

I’ve been struggling since my diagnosis of Lupus a year ago. I’m 26 and can only work part time. That’s made Christmas extremely rough on me this year. My daughter is 5 and such a girly girl. We would be so grateful for anyone willing to help. I live in America. Thank you in advance<3 Here’s my link: http://a.co/9LkmejA
Susan G (2800) Thank you for the heads up. Amazon wouldn’t say why I wouldn’t get them, just that my address did not work. I did put a friend’s home address on there now, and the few items bought before back on my daughter’s list if there is anyone out there that would like to try to purchase them again. I was so thrilled to see them bought, the fact my daughter won’t get them because of my stupid mistake breaks my heart. People were so generous and now it’s all for nothing. Thank you to those who tried to make my daughter’s Christmas. She’s 15 and claims she doesn’t need a Christmas but I know it would have made her year.
http://a.co/8LWHRkm
Thank you!! We received some of the gifts from the wishlist. I can’t thank you enough. Our kids are going to have a good Christmas. You are an Angel. God Bless you. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.

Thank you to whomever purchased the books for my kiddos! I am so thankful! It is truly a weight off my shoulders. Thank you to whomever purchased their boots! They will have nice warm feet! I appreciate everything so much, but Im hoping they can still get a toy each to go with their books!

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3P3RNDTOL4FQR
Hello everyone. My husband and I have been struggling for years to keep our family clothed, fed and sheltered. We’ve both always worked but it’s always been low paying jobs that barely pay the bills and definitely don’t leave room for extra. Last year we moved and about a month later we both lost our jobs. It was a very tough time. We persevered and my husband got a full time temp job at a local factory, which we were very grateful for but back to trying to make ends meet week by week. Fast forward to last month. My husband, who has worked at the same factory since last Dec as a temp, got word that the company was hiring him on full time as a direct employee! Not only that but they were promoting him from the entry position to assistant operator, which carries a huge pay increase along with benefits! I also got word that I get to start my dream position in January. So while things are starting to finally look up, we will not be reaping the rewards until the end of December/beginning of January. This is why I am asking for a small amount of help. We have two children, our daughter who is 10 and our son who is 3. We would like to make sure they get something nice for Christmas (we’re still trying to figure out how to get a tree as well) and we look forward to paying it forward next year, when we are on a better road to financial security. Thank you to everyone who reads this post and to the creator. You guys are amazing! If you’d like to help them, you can find a small list I created at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1WOKE9HKWGF0H
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!!!
Anonymous (2718), coloring book, fidget cube and some socks heading your way. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Kristi,
A few more things are on the way for your girls. Merry Christmas!
hello I am a single father trying to raise my daughter. mom chose drugs over our family and its been very difficult. I am on a fixed income and can only afford so much. with my daughter so young I have not told her why mommy isn’t around except that shes “very busy working”. It would be so cool to be able to have a few extra things that I can say are from her mother under the tree. I don’t want her to ever feel like she is not worthy of someone I just don’t think its the right time to tell her the truth until she is older. she is 8 and such a good kid anmd I wish I could give her so much more than I can. thank you to anyone who may be able to help a father out http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1VG4NY6S7QQAV
A. Marie I checked the order and it says part was delivered and handed “to a resident”. Did you get the sunglasses? If so, don’t panic the glitter eyeshadow and Fallout Boy say they’ll be delivered today by 8. Crossing my fingers… Please let me know if you get them
#2859… you’ve got a few shipping address options. Which city is the correct one? Don’t want to send anything to the wrong address.
To Anonymous (#2859): gifts are on their way for your little girl. Your story struck home with me as I, at eight, had my father largely (and later completely) leave my life after my parents’ divorce. That’s never an easy situation for a kid, but as an adult I am so grateful that I had one loving parent who has always been there for me. Your daughter is lucky to have you! Hope this is a beautiful holiday for you both.

Single mom going to nursing school full time while working and supporting my two kids. My daughter Rose will be 14 and is in 8th grade, my son Tony just turned 1 but is a bug boy and he is quickly out growing his cold weather clothes. We live with my mom who is on disability due to a bad car wreck several years ago. She is able to watch my son while I work and finish my education. I don’t know what I would do with out her, daycare is obscenely expensive around here.
Luckily I will be graduating this year and I promise to be back as an elf next year. Jenny and all the elves, reindeer, penguins, and lets not forget the reinbears are amazing. Thank you for the for making this possible.
Merry Christmas to all

(Wish List comment #1345)
Hi – Im a single dad and was told about this by my neighbor. It is just me and my 17 year old son and my baby boy in our apartment. Sorry if I don’t want to give a lot of information it all just happened in the last couple months and we are trying to figure things out. My son is going to school and working construction with me. My neighbor helped make the lists and is going to help post this for me because I don’t’ have internet at home. My son doesn’t need any toys what he really needs is a warm coat, boots, and gloves while working outside this winter with me. I did put a couple things I thought he might think are fun. We are both wearing pretty old coats of mine. My baby boy is just a few months so he really isn’t going to know if he has much to open. I chose a few books and some clothes for him. Actually some diapers and wipes would be better to save money but I don’t have time to go change it. Thanks.

I had already deleted my list because u all were so kind and gifted my children something each, and I didn’t want to be greedy..
Today my daughter’s school called my neighbor and she told me the sole of her shoe was separating from the rest of it. She has literally just that one pair of shoes, so I had to walk there and bring her a spare pair of mine which are a half size too small.
Please, if it isn’t asking too much, can someone help me with a pair of shoes for her? She LOVES high tops but I know beggars can’t be choosers. I added both kinds and all she needs is just one single pair. Unfortunately it can’t wait until Christmas but I can wrap it and say it is from an incredible person.
I don’t have a computer or phone so I have to go to my neighbor’s home to borrow her computer so I may not see any replies or comments, I am sorry if I miss something or I should have asked for help for this

I’m #745. Thank you, thank you for filling Bryan’s wish list. This is everything, and I’m actually giving back to someone I know privately and also linked her here. She’s a single mom who has had a lousy year, too, and went to a gift giveaway in her locality but everything sucks big lava rocks and she’s worried about devastated kiddos this year. She’s making her list and posting. I know it’s late, but I really want to give a shout out to my friend, Wendy. I will edit this later if/when she has her link. <3
Sarah Jaghamin,
I’ve sent some things – I hope I’ve managed something for all five. Blessed be.
I know it’s probably too late but I’m reposting my sister’s list for her 4 kids (girls 9, 16 and boys 7, 14). It’s worth a shot. These are great kids that deserve a little something under the tree. Thanks so much.
http://a.co/0WSWu0G
My original post was #725 – Thank you so much to everyone that sent something to my kids. I’ve had a rough several days with my husbands’ health and I haven’t been able to sit down long enough to search through all the comments so that I could specifically thank you… Thank you. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and an even happier New Year.

Thank you to whomever purchased the Harry Potter books for my boy. I couldn’t not find a coat on amazon so i just selected a gift card where he could go to a local store and pick one out. Still staying within the limits Jenny has set
If you need my email it is :

Thank you for the books! I can’t wait to see his face on Christmas Day!
Dear Bloggess, Elves ,and Angels, I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for us. I sadly got a package in the mail that was tampered with. The gifts were of course missing and the only thing in received the empty bubble mailer and the amazon shipping l8st. I can see that it was A Charlie Brown Christmas Blu-ray and the Uno card game that was in it. Amazon will not talk to me because I’m not the purchaser of the missing product. 🙁 They are in my purchased list.

Single dad from the U.S. My wife passed away 3 years ago from Breast Cancer, it was a difficult transition for my oldest especially. We were finally adjusting to our new life when this past October the neighbor below us left their stove on and burnt down the whole apartment building. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, but I learned the hard way how important it is to have “replacement cost” on your insurance policy. The amount I received was far less than what was needed to replace all of our stuff. We lost everything, but I was able to refurnish our new home by mostly purchasing second hand items, and emptying my savings account. My oldest has become to much for his grandparents, and I am the only one who has been able to calm him. for now I am only able to work limited hours so that I can care for Brayden. We get by but just barely and I only have a $25 gift card to split amongst the 3 of the for Christmas.
My kids desperately miss the huge leggo collection we had acquired over the years, especially my oldest who is on the spectrum, Leggos are so expensive, but I was able to locate some off brand building bricks on amazon with great reviews. If Santa’s elves were to supply a new leggo collection my kids it would make this the best Christmas my family has had since the loss of their mother.

Bee A., THANK YOU! You are an ANGEL! My kids each have a gift to open now. I feel so blessed…I feel like Santa is real, haha! This has renewed my faith in humanity. Jenny, you are truly one of this planets best people for setting this all into motion. James Garfield, you are super cool and my kids love you.

I hate to post again after getting 7 items bought for my 4 kiddos already but the blanket that was meant for my 22 year old son came today and it’s pink. LOL!
I have added a few items that he could use(hat/glove combo) and a blanket then a couple other items.
If anyone out there could help, it would be much appreciated. I have nothing to put under the tree for him.
I have cried so much this past week from the generosity of others! It really fills my heart!
Thank you so much!

I believe in miracles (#2873): sent a gift from your list and couldn’t resist adding just a little Lego to help restart the collection.
If you’d be interested, I have a brand-new Star Wars Lego set (a duplicate gift for a nephew that I wasn’t able to return) that I’d be glad to send for your kids if you felt comfortable sharing a shipping address with me. You can contact me at meredith.weaver12@gmail.com.
Wishing you all the best and a happy holiday,

We were adopted by a toy bank, but the host family seems to not even have looked at the kids lists. I was heartbroken this morning seeing what we got and trying to figure out how to make it work. A good friend suggested I post here and give this a try. Thank you for any help you can give. Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much to whoever bought my kids crayons! Merry Christmas to you an your family!😊
LoriZ, I did get the sunglasses! Thank you so very much!! The carrier called me and said he couldn’t leave it in the locker but if I could meet him there right then he would hand them to me. I asked if he was going to be the one to deliver the rest and he told me they just get what they get each day so he didn’t know. I’m hoping today’s carrier is the same or the new person calls me too so I don’t miss it. Thank you for checking and letting me know. I’ll be praying my phone rings!
Probably a stupid question but I have $4.88 lefton my amazon account from cashing out an Ibotta rebate is there any way to apply that towards a gift on my list? The puzzle map for my 6 year old is $6.98 so I’m so close lol. If anyone might know I would appreciate the help! I’m back in the 700’s so I’ll just redo my link here. Each of the boys got a gift off the list (I only put 5 on there to begin with) but didn’t know if I could put what I have towards it so it would only cost someone $2. Thanks for anyone’s help!
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1XY2PE4EQQO0D
Anonymous (2718), you are so very welcome! Your reply touched me and reminded me how lucky I am to be able to do this so I went back and finished off your incredibly modest list. You’ve given me some sorely lacking holiday spirit today so thank you! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
My neighbor told me about this but she said it might be too late but I guess it doesn’t hurt to try. I have four kids. I am recently separated from my husband after finding out he had an ongoing affair with a coworker and am moving back in with my mom until we can get back on our feet. She’s on disability herself and doesn’t have much herself but it doing what she can to help us. I am using any money I have to move and there isn’t a lot left for Christmas this year. My kids are amazing and I want them to have a great holiday after a hard year and now having pretty much no contact with their dad (his choice, not mine). My oldest is my baker and my reader. Her dream would be to go into a bookstore and buy every book she wanted. My second oldest is my old soul. He loves playing cards and board games. The second youngest is my artist. She is constantly finding ways to make beautiful things and the baby is my water baby. He loves to swim and be in the bath tub. Any little thing helps. Thank you.

Hi–A few recent posters may not have noticed the new guidelines for this year’s JGM.
The limit is $40 in toys and $60 for clothes, per child. Once you have received gifts, please don’t delete them from your “purchased” list. This keeps things transparent for everyone who is trying to fulfill lists for people.
If everyone sticks with this then more people can be helped–we all want every child to have a gift.
Typically we try to be on the giving end of things, however, this year and last my husband and I have really been struggling. Last year in December we had our Rainbow baby after 5 miscarriages and to not be able to give him things he could want breaks my heart. Granted I know he is only a year old and there are others who are worse off than us, but anything will help right now. God Bless You All!

I am so thankful for the gifts my son and daughter received, a pair of new comfy shoes and coloring books for relaxing. I was hoping not to have to post again, but I need help with stocking stuffers. I put one thing per kid, and one type of candy. I realize there are so many out there needing help, so I won’t be reposting. But if someone sees this and is able, thank you.

Merideth,
You have no idea how huge your gift is. I didn’t think REAL legos were a realistic request and as such left them off my list. thank you so much. Braden is a huge Star Wars fan, we watch at least 1 episode per week.
He will be estactic to receive a Star Wars LEGO set. 2 if his favorite things. I am short on time right now, and am only in for a moment to warm up before continuing to dig out from the snow.
I will send you an email tonight once the storm has subsided and I have gotten the children to bed.
Bless you.
I am still in need of help for christmas. My children will not be having a Christmas this year unless a miracle happens soon. Thank you to all that help.

It’s a bit late, but I want to add a list. This sweet girl just wants some more professional art supplies. Last night her apartment burned and we aren’t sure what all was lost yet, but her kitten didn’t make it and guessing all her stuff is gone including her beautiful artwork 🙁
Thank you to the other christina sizemore for explaining we are not the same person.To the person posting anonymously and playing detective you could be ruining a child from getting help because of your false accusations.There is more than one christina in the world and you claimed it was me.why on earth would i post my personal facebook to a page you claim i am scamming.Just sad you assume and have no proof and then when proven wrong you now have nothing to say.Several people cancelled orders on my kids wishlist because of your assumptions and its sad you continue to try and play detective.Hopefully now you will stop since you have been called out and proven to be false about it.However the damage is now done and each of my kids will get 1 outfit.Everyone else cancelled so thank you.I hope u and yours have a good christmas and when your kids open their gifts you think of the 4 kids you took from because of false assumptions.
I want to thank those that purchased items for my kids. I also want to send thanks to those that purchased for any children in need. You- are- amazing! Everything has arrived and I am more relaxed than I have been in a LONG time. The kids were home when the postal worker delivered the packages and their excitement over knowing there are some surprises coming is contagious. This will be an awesome year for us. It’s difficult to ask for help, but I will honestly say I am glad I did. Thank you so much. This means the WORLD to me, and I can’t express my thanks enough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have 20 amazing kindergarteners who work very hard and deserve so, so much. I live and work in a very small town with very little money. We were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Irma and many of my families are struggling to provide for their children. I’d love to help them out during Christmas and am doing all that I can on a kindergarten teacher salary. Any donations would be wonderfully appreciated.

Agreed, reinbears is 100% cromulent. I must say, my spell check didn’t like either words, but I do. So now they’ve both been added to my phone “dictionary.” 😄
Thank you so much for being able to get those reinbear out of hibernation. I do suppose it’s quite warm out your way. Not that it’s cold, or even luke warm here. Almost 90° at the moment.
I’ve done my best to instil the proper morals and values into my daughter. For mostly selfish reasons, such as: I don’t want here to live here the rest of her life, and I would love to have grandkids that I’m able to load up on sugar and send home.
So, you see, it’s necessary to make sure she is successful, in life, so she has a home for me to send them back to. 😂😂😂😂 Just completely selfish on my end. LOL
Plus, she’s our only one. That leaves no room for error. 😊
Thank you again, Mac. I am truly grateful for your generosity.
Bee A., I am in tears! I came home from a (not great news) doctor appt and saw your message! Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! You’ve brightened our Christmas and what could have been a very dark day. Now instead its a day marked forever in our brains as the day we rediscovered hope. I pray we can come back here next year and pay it forward. Bless you and everyone on here!

Seems as if maybe my first comment was not posted…but I usually don’t ask for help. I try to be the one helping if possible. This year and last year have been a struggle for my husband and I. We weren’t able to get our son anything for Christmas last year as it seems we won’t be able to this year either. He just turned a year old and is he is our miracle baby. We had five miscarriages before he came along. To be able to give him anything for Christmas would be a blessing. My husband has recently changed jobs and What was promised to him isn’t What took place and it’s put us in a hard spot. Not to mention that our truck just broke down so we’re down to one vehicle until we can afford to fix it. Again, anything for my son. Even swallowing my pride to ask for help. He’s worth it.
2017 has been a rough year and appreciate this holiday miracle. My daughter will be five in a few weeks. She loves cats and unicorns!
If anyone can help here’s my link:

This is baby’s first Christmas, and they have nothing so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are all amazing
I posted way back at #175 and my wish list was (miraculously) filled the same day and boxes started arriving within the next couple of days. I know jenny and Kristen were among my angels.
I picked one warm item for each of the girls and these items have not been received.
Ironic, because naturally we’re having a cold snap here in Florida and I am completely unprepared. If anyone remembers sending a Disney frozen hoodie or sweatshirt in size 7/8, I wanted to let you know they have not been received.
Everything else for the girls and their baby brother has been received and is greatly appreciated. I’m having a lot of the Christmas blues and seeing the generosity here is incredibly heart-warming.
The love here. Its so amazing. I am in tears!
Hello again. I hate to do this, but I worry that A.J.’s list got lost in the posts from this morning and afternoon, so I’m reposting it. I know that most people have already done their shopping, so I’m just going to keep my fingers crossed from here on out.

Pausing between therapies to post again. I see a lot of requests that people review guidelines. I put headphones (not musical rather they block out noise) and a blanket instead of clothing. The headphones are vital to being in public with my little one. Her current pair are becoming to small since they are from when she was smaller. And the blanket is because she sleeps on the floor exclusively and i think a nap mat may keep her warmer. I hope that’s okay to add instead of clothes?
Thank you so much! Someone bought my little girl the dino book she has wanted! Thank you!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1XHY5GG7OVN7Q

Still holding on to hope that someone can help with a crib mobile <3

This year has been really rough for us and it doesn’t look good for Christmas. From losing a car, brand new baby, loss of a job and house repairs we have to worry about bills first. With Five girls it looks like a sad Christmas. I was hoping someone can help me if possible and greatly appreciated to make my girls Christmas not a sad one.. http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3VNMLZIRPKF04?triggerElementID=editYourList

Well dang it, guess I’ll use it for a stocking stuffer. I didn’t even realize I still had it on there, I cashed that Ibotta out like 6 months ago and bought my sons birthday present with it. I was pleasantly surprised to see I still had a balance and thought I could put it towards something. Thank you for answering so I quit trying to figure it out.
No worries Jessica, happy holidays!
Thank you! You have a very merry Christmas as well!
In a crappy year full of crap things happening, this is such a NICE thing. You warm my heart, all of you!
Hello everyone, I was referred by my friend Shannon as a great place to get a little help for the holidays, I’m usually not one to ask but this year has been pretty hard on my family. I’m recently divorced single mother and serve in the Army reserves for the last 10 years, I’ve deployed once in 2003 but I have never been more scared then I am about my children being disappointed Christmas morning, any and all help would be so appreciated. Please I wouldn’t usually do this but I’m desperate.
Here’s a copy of the children’s wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WENOTDVV4HQ5
Wendy Richards – I am so sorry to hear about your toy bank fiasco! I’m sure the host family meant well. Have you contacted the toy bank? Maybe there was a mixup somewhere…
I have purchased a book and a small toy for each of your kids off of your list. It’s not much, and I so wish I could do more, but at least they’ll have something to open on Christmas!
I’m a single mom hoping for some Santa help for my 9 year old little girl.

Rachel I have checked yoir list as you have made multiple posts re A.J. and all the gifts that were purchased earlier have been deleted. It’s one thing to repost yoir list to get attention, but you are being dishonest. shame on you.
Hi y’all – not sure if there is any Christmas Magic left, but I wanted to wait a little bit as my children are older and would never want to take away from the littler ones. My two amazing kids are Jack 17 and Samantha (Sam) 12. Jack is in to fishing and trying to get his latest project on the road – a 2004 GMC that he is fixing himself to make it road ready (hence the lights for the car – it was ALL he asked for.) Sam is 12 and is very much still into dolls and pretend play – especially if she can involve an animal or two in there. This year has been tough (medical bills and home repairs have kept us below water most of the year) and neither kid is expecting much – which is all the more reason I would like to surprise them with a little something under the tree. Thank you and Goddess Bless!

I just wanted to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to all the Santa’s, Reinbears, Ninja Elves and Secret Squirrels running amok here.
I know all of my slightly (ahem, ok, ok, HUGELY… sheesh) crazy comments make it seem like I’m the only one dispatching Polar Animals but I’m not. I’m really only making a very small dent.
I can not tell you the number of times that I have clicked on a Wish List and it’s been already fulfilled or there is just one item left! And that makes my heart sing like an off-pitch Christmas-Caroling Seal Choir =)
I post silliness to relieve the tension, the fear, the terror because I know first hand what it’s like to be terrified that there will be no Christmas.
I watched my Mom for over a decade struggle every.dam,year (go Otters!) trying to get us gifts for Christmas. And I’ll be honest, there were years that she failed miserably BUT NOT FROM THE LACK OF TRYING.
And as a kid, I saw her try and I knew she loved me and even though she thought she failed. she didn’t… not really because she always made it fun and festive.
We always had the Ye Olde Artificial Christmas Tree (that I still treasure 40 years later) and our amazing Nativity. Even if we didn’t get gifts, she made SURE that we had something new for that Nativity.. even if it was that really odd shaped bale of hay.. that I suspect is not really hay BUT THERE is NO WAY that you’ll ever be able to pry it from my hands even when I’m dead. I’ll be buried with that bale of hay. Trust me. It’s in my will. Seriously. Just ask my boyfriend. I showed him my will and the Nativity box for my coffin.
She also made the most amazing felt Advent calendar in the shape of a Christmas Tree with felt toys that were covered in bric-a-brac and glitter. Each day in December, we’d put one up on the Tree. Try dividing 25 felt toys EVERY YEAR among 3 kids…. evenly… I triple-dog-dare you! Math is a very cruel Mistress.
Again, I treasure that Calendar now more than ever because my Mom passed away 3 years ago… Today.
Merry Christmas Mom. I love you so much and thank you for the best Christmaseseses EVER!
TL:DR – Breathe.Relax.Love.Your.Family. Gifts are good but trust me, YOU are a much better gift. Fact.
I had all gifts, those for my boy and my bio niece and nephew, sent to my moms. We had to move end of Oct./beginning of Nov. because we lived in income-based housing and our rent jumped from $376 to $655 based on OT my husband got during the Summer months. The place we moved is a little more expensive than what we were paying, but we love it. Most annoying aspect of it is that there’s no where to put a mailbox here. We don’t have one and the two neighbors on either side of us don’t have one (we got a little sliver of graveled dirt where we can barely fit our cars off the side of the highway and its much bigger than what the neighbors have but still not much of a place for a mailbox). Long story not much shorter, we had to have my kids things sent to my moms too. She just brought me out a huge stack of little paper squares from the gift boxes. Some have little notes from the people who purchased gifts for the kids, and some have these weird little links you can use to send thank you’s on Amazon. Just sent the thank you’s. ALL expect one. I’ve tried putting the link into my address bar repeatedly but I can’t get it to work so I can’t send a thank you for that one. According to the slip, it was for a Shopkins Season 8 America Toy 12 Pack. I think it was probably purchased by the same person who purchased all the other things for Addy and I was able to thank that person through the other links, but if by chance anyone else got that toy for Addy then thank you. I would send a personal thank you, but either the link is faulty or I just can’t figure it out.
Someone bought a Dr Who book off Serenity’s wishlist and I didn’t see a comment about it so thank you to our secret Santa!!
Here are my sweet girls lists one last time, I switched out the winter coat for Harmony with one that was in stock. Thank you again so much guys!
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet. Here is her wishlist. http://a.co/dj3dZfT
@Karen, I am so sorry about your mom. I can’t even imagine going through that. ((((((((((Hugs))))))))) <3
NIcholas 2781 – something coming your way from a fellow Canadian. Merry Christmas.
Reposting for my niece and nephews again. My brother suffers from depression and has been in and out of treatment the last few years. Their mother is, to make a long story short, not an ideal parent. Money is obviously tight and for me, too. I was able to purchase them winter coats and have given them to them already since it is definitely cold here in Michigan. A kind soul above sent a gift each to the kids (thank you again!).
If there’s any cheer leftover, I’d so appreciate you considering clicking on this link and consider sending an item at least for the younger boys – my niece is much more aware of the circumstances especially financially and she understands that gifts are going to be very scarce. Thank you in advance!

Thank you sooooo much you have just made our Christmas so much better
I can’t say thank you enough
Merry Christmas to you and your family ..
God Bless you from the bottom on my heart
Natalie
Thank you beautiful humans from the bottom of my heart. I emerged today from a couple days mostly holed up working out of a debilitating depression and anxiety over the financial struggles of surviving as an artist in Seattle … to find two packages from Amazon that my housemates had kindly brought in! And then I went onto Amazon and saw that almost everything on my list has been ordered and is en route and omigosh thank you all so much. Your generosity is a warm ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds of gloom.
Thank you also for the comment above about teenagers being kids too. They sure are, and my guys have been through a lot the past few years – I had a pancreatic tumor in 2009 and divorced their dad the same year, then my mom, who had lived with them their entire childhood died of lung cancer at home with us in 2014. Their road through grief along with their own issues has been hard but I’ve had a great therapist for them since 2009 and that helps them work through their own stuff.
Anyhow. Thank you guys so much for this, and for being a community I can always turn to and know I’m not alone in my struggles as a mom and artist who deals with depression and anxiety. Tears of gratitude right now. Jenny, I’m very grateful you exist, and for the community that’s grown around you and your openness at talking about issues that are so often hidden away. You rock.
XOXO
#644- your kids will be getting the books. Merry Christmas!
Talia (if you’re still checking in): I got a notice from Amazon that they couldn’t deliver 2 packages to the first address, so I’ve updated then with the correct one. They should hopefully be back on their way in a day or two so I think it will all work out.
Anonymous #2090 – I have made a total of 3 posts: my original post #2842, a repeat #2843 because I forgot the link in the first post, and #2905 in which I posted again to try to get someone’s attention. I have no idea who this other Rachel is, but it’s not me. Jenny can check the IP addresses and confirm that. I have deleted nothing from A.J.’s wishlist, and to be accused of being a scammer makes be sick to my stomach. I came here hoping for some help for my little boy, and now I’m almost in tears. Shame on you, too.
Rachel
(I checked. The comments you listed were the only ones from your IP address or email. I just sent you something from your list. Sorry. People mean well but can get confused. ~ Jenny)
I am posting this one last time in the hopes that someone will help us out. An anonymous poster just accused me of being a scammer and deleting purchased items from my son’s list and it’s not true. I followed Jenny’s instructions to the letter. I made a new list for him this morning and other than adding items I haven’t touched it. If there is another Rachel on here who is doing that then I have no control over that, but she isn’t me. I can’t prove this to anyone, but I hope that someone will believe me and help me get something for my son’s Christmas.
Rachel

I wanted to note also that before I realized I had “don’t spoil for me” checked I thought my list wasn’t updating and deleted two items (the Sketchbook and the Animation book) from my list because I thought it wasn’t updating and didn’t want people to order multiple times. I did send Thank You notes through Amazon to the two lovely people who ordered those things, and then I figured out to uncheck that box and I could see that it was actually updating like it should. Thanks again eversomuch you guys. I’ve given through James Garfield in the past and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from being on this end and I truly feel uplifted.
Thank you all so much. Those who sent gifts if you would like pictures please email me
Duckieboojr@comcast.net. Love to all. The kids and dad will all have gifts because of you!

Reposting need pants for winter.
Reposting and hoping.
Thank you so much. Each child will have 3 wonderful gifts to open and dad will have a new shirt (1 st new clothing in years for him) and a pair of warm gloves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If anyone is still looking on here a few gifts are left on lists. Also I despise this part but I have no pants for winter without holes in them. I put 2 pair on mom and dad list. Thank you all again,not just for helping our family, but for helping so very many!

Hi all, We’ve had a rough year, starting with my husband being laid off for 3 months. We’ve spent the rest of the year playing catch up, but the past couple of weeks we’ve been slammed with car repairs, hundreds of dollars in emergency dental surgery for my husband, and just yesterday our hot water heater died, leaving nothing left for Christmas gifts. I have 10 year old twin girls and a 6 year old son. He still believes in Santa so I’d hate for him to think Santa forgot him this year. We live in the US. Thanks to anyone who can help. Here’s our list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/31L6SAQRHMFJ0
2017 has been a rough year and appreciate this holiday miracle. My daughter will be five in a few weeks. She loves cats and unicorns!

Rachel – I was going to send you both books, but it looks like Jenny beat me to one of them! The other book and the Tardis blanket are headed your way 🙂 I’m so sorry someone accused you of being unsavory. Things can get wacky around here the further into the week we get – that’s certainly not an excuse, but like Jenny said, most everyone here means well. Please don’t let this incident color your view of the James Garfield event or this community. I hope you and your son have a fantastic Christmas!!
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves #2938

Emily #2939 & Jenny –
Thank you both so much! It just really hit me like a punch to the gut to be accused of something like that. I hope next year, when I finally have a job again, that I can help someone else out.
Also, Jenny – I found a copy of your first book at a thrift store so I finally got to read it and I loved it. I know I’m a little late to the party on your books, but I can’t wait to read the second one.
Rachel
Emily – you rock more
Karen….the amazing elf! Thank you so much for the coats and books! I am so thankful for your generous heart. You are amazing and have absolutely saved Christmas for so many. Thank you feels so inadequate.
If anyone else is able to help the kids would love toys. I am just in awe of the caring of strangers.

and Emily… don’t argue with me or I’ll send a sleuth of perfectly cromulent Polar Bears to get ALL kinds of festive on you =)
From posts 1606 and 2203. My husband and I are so unbelievably grateful to those that purchased stuff for our boys! Thank you so, so, so much!!!<3 My 16 yo and 4 mo got their Christmas pj’s, but the ones I had picked out for my toddler were no longer available (made the mistake of choosing a set that only had 4 in stock). I added a set that is in stock with no limits showing as of right now, so am hoping that he can get pj’s to open on Christmas Eve along with his brothers. They also each got their 2 fun things, except for the baby. He only has 1 thing left. Hoping there might be an angel or two left to help our 2 little ones.
http://a.co/a8Q503v
Thank you, Jenny, for this opportunity, and to all the generous people that are helping so many this year! <3
I was comment 323 and I wasn’t sure if it was okay to request the floor/reading lamp combo for my 9 year old… While he was playing in the tub, an elf lightly knocked on our door and left a box that said “Santa thinks you need this early. Love, Ginger the elf”.
I think he was more excited than Ralphie”s dad winning the “major award” in A Christmas Story!
He even took pictures and started a group message through text messages on my phone with my sister and his daddy.
Santa will wait to deliver any other presents until Christmas but he felt like Ginger needed to go ahead and make this delivery.
Thank you so much for everyone that has helped our family!
My name is Lisa. I don’t know if their is any Christmas magic left here. I have 3 children, a 14 year old girl, an 8 year old boy and a 4 year old boy. Liz loves all things girlie, especially long baths and make up. The boys love hiking, reading and cars. They have a very small list, but even that is proving difficult to fill.
Reposting for my Mother, Tina Olson
My mother and 2 siblings moved across the country with us in May this year to make a new start, which is always difficult starting over. She is a single mom taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ. He has Aspergers, ADHD, among other emotionally crippling issues stemming from past experiences and emotionally damaging situations that we are working on learning to cope with. She also cares for my beautiful 16 year old sister, Emma. Recently, my mom was let go from her job for “not being able to keep up.” This is mainly due to some cognitive impairment issues she now faces after a major concussion/TBI she suffered last year. We were lucky to find her another job, but it is in a factory working very long hours 6 days a week. The lapse between work put her even further behind then what she was, and she is struggling to make the house payment, and simply won’t be able to provide any presents for my siblings this year. Many years in the past I have stepped up for birthdays and holidays and bought presents for them and put my mom’s name on them for her, but this year I’m simply not in the position too. If there are any extra elves or reindeer available to help my brother and sister, I’ll pay it forward two fold next year, for helping not only them, but my 2 children y’all have helped this year as well. I have attached a small list for Emma and AJ, it includes some pajamas (a Christmas eve tradition in our family) Emma loves make-up and anything foxen, and AJ is growing up way to fast for me! And could really use an electric razor. Thank you all so much in advance.

Hey this girl I know is really struggling in college and could use a good Christmas present here’s my link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/newwl/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3
Trying one last time before I head home for the night, and if it is meant to be it will be.
I’m desperately hoping someone is able to gift my daughter a pair of shoes. Her only pair started breaking apart today and she has no other pairs. She’s wearing a spare pair of mine that are half a size too small. She prefers high tops but beggars can’t be choosers.
If I am asking for too much, I understand. This will be the last time I post because I already feel terrible for asking for more. Thank u for your time.

Thank you so much whoever ordered my little’s therapy hearing protectors. ❤ so much love. That’s going to make her little life so much easier. All that’s left on our list is a therapy toy, a puzzle, a book and nap blanket for her at night time. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/5I31OPHNDSOD
Thank you to all the elves that have completed my fulfilled my family’s Christmas list. I am beyond grateful for your generosity. I am reposting the link to my sister’s list in hopes that it to will be completed. She lost her husband last year and has 6 beautiful children to provide a Christmas for, the youngest of whom never had a chance to meet his Daddy. If there are any loose reindeer that cpuld be rounded up to help deliver the last few items it would make their 1st Christmas without him a little easier to bear.

Vanessa, #2937–It seems like your list doesn’t have the address filled in the way you need it to be for me to send your daughter’s gift. 🙁 My daughter is also turning 5 and LOVES the little live pet her nana gave her. I really want to send the little chicky to YOUR daughter, but I need your wish list to change. Or you can email me at careynev dot gmail dot com so we can make it happen.
Roxie #2866, your daughter’s shoes should be there by Friday! 😁. I totally understand these kids wearing out clothes on us before there’s money for it! Merry Christmas!
Hi. I’m a single father and I have my brother’s kids staying with me too. Everyday is a struggle. I thought I’d be able to get them some things this year, but I had some problems with my car I needed to get fixed and we barely get by as it is. I don’t really know how this works, so I’m just going to post the list link and hope someone will be kind enough to lend me a hand. I didn’t put much on there since so many people need help and they will be happy just to have something. Thank you for this site and to anyone reading. Happy Holidays! Link: http://a.co/d5H5PiW
I’m going to share the links to my brother-and sister-in-laws kids lists one final time. The way the scammer accusations are flying I didn’t plan on sharing it at all but, they’re kids, I love ’em, and I hate to not do what I can particularly when what I can do is as easy as share some links. Full disclosure, I shared a wishlist for my son and for my niece and nephew, who live with my mom. Nieces list got bought out pretty much immediately (1st 10 minutes, no exaggeration), and every item but one got bought from each of the boys within a couple of days. I took their lists down maybe 2-3 days ago. Brother-and sister-in-law apparently knew about this and wanted to make a list for their kids but they suck at electronics and at the internet, in general, and they basically couldn’t get it all figured out on their own. Husband went to their house and helped them post wishlists. Again, though, they suck at the internet and I’ve not seen them post at any other point so I shared the kids wishlists myself maybe yesterday or the day before.
The kids wishlists were pretty simple and within the guidelines. Daijah’s initially had 2 giftcards but I was worried no one would want to get giftcards so I helped them change the items out for some cute little bracelets and key chains that I figured a 16 year old would like. Kodah’s had 4 items and hasn’t been changed at all. Payton’s had 5 originally I think. All were within the $40 mark, though. Daijah has had two items purchased, Kodah has had two purchased, and Payton has had three. I noticed either earlier today or yesterday that both of the items left on Payton’s list nearly doubled in price and one of them had something odd going on with it, you couldn’t just click on it to purchase it and had to actually find the item from a different vendor or something, idk. Anyway, we took both those items off of Payton’s list and added one toy and two books. The books were very inexpensive so the list should still be right around the $40 mark still. NO items have been deleted and the only changes were simple ones.

D’oh! Vanessa, I was wrong—your address was right, I just couldn’t see it staring me right in the face! So a cute little live pet is on its way from my almost-5 year old daughter to YOUR almost-5 year old daughter! (Mine is Jan 23–yours?)
I am so thankful for the gifts my son and daughter received, a pair of new comfy shoes and coloring books for relaxing. I was hoping not to have to post again, but I need help with stocking stuffers. I put one thing per kid, and one type of candy. I realize there are so many out there needing help, so I won’t be reposting. But if someone sees this and is able, thank you.
I just wanted to pop back in here and say the items off of my kids list have all arrived, Thank you to everyone <3 Original comment #517
Sorry forgot the link.

Rachel, we got your son’s coat too. 😊. Merry Christmas!
ok, one more probably stupid question. I’m originally post 700 something and then 2881 to ask what ended up being a stupid question lol. So I’m back for one more stupid question. Is money on an amazon account transferable to another amazon account? If I find someone willing to purchase the map puzzle could I send them the $4.88 from my account to theirs? It’s only like $6.98 I think so I’m pretty close. My original list had 5 items and 3 were purchased but I’m trying to get the map for my 6 year old so it’s more even because someone blessed his brother with the terrarium. Anyway, anyone happen to know if I can do that? This is the link so if anyone can figure out if that’s possible let me know and I’ll transfer it. I know this sounds ridiculous but it’s what I have. I didn’t even realize I had it until today. It’s from an Ibotta rebate from like 6 months ago, that’s what’s leftover from using it for a birthday present for my middle turd.

Hi im comment number 2622, can someone please look at my list and let me know if I did something wrong or if I’m just getting passed up in all the comments. If that’s the case it’s ok I understand, I just want to make sure I didn’t mess something up.
Dawn, your link doesn’t work.
Jessica (#2969) – don’t worry about it, the map puzzle is on its way to you 🙂 It should get there in the nick of time in the 20th. Save your account credit for something special. Merry Christmas!!
I wanted to say a big Thank You, again to all of the generous and kind folks that purchased gifts for my sons. Saturday I thanked all those who had purchased gifts for my sons, I’m truly grateful, I also reposited my list in case someone could help my sons go see the new Star Wars movie. And today someone purchased the movie gift cards, Thank You! My two boys are going to be over the Death Star with so much happiness. Jenny, Secret Santas, and everyone you’re all amazing.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Please if there are any elves out there….trying one more time for my two, tried to delete anything over $10-12 for both of them, but it was harder to do for my son – again he will understand if he gets nothing and knows I will take care of him come tax time. But I would really really appreciate if someone can help me with my daughter, there are a few crafts and games on there for her.
Much love for all of you, and Merry Christmas!
Hi. I’m 2962. I checked your list Dawn 2622 and it just brought me to Amazon’s main page and didn’t show any wishlist. You need to go to your list, make sure it’s public, have an address to ship to, click save. Then go to your list and on the right side where it says “share” choose email, copy and post that link. Hope that helps. That’s what I did anyway and it seems to have worked. Hope you get some help. Happy Holidays!
Wow, Emily, thank you! I truly don’t mind sending the money if that’s possible. I know it isn’t much but I would be happy to do it. I appreciate you getting that ordered. I’m so excited to see their little faces Christmas morning now! He’s in kindergarten and is the smartest little guy and just LOVES to learn. I can’t wait to give him something that will challenge that little brain in there. Thank you, so much!
Thank you! Comment number2622 here again, hopefully it will work correctly this time, here’s the link to my children’s wish list hopefully.

Sorry I thought I would share my post again we really need some Christmas joy in my home. Things are very tight and hard this year, please help us if you can . Thank you and merry Christmas!
Hello my original post #1605 I added my address to the list things should work …(I also copied my original post , see below)
Merry Christmas ! Hello My name is Samantha …I have had a really long year of struggles. I am a single mom on a single income trying to provide a nice holiday for my children. My son is 17 and is graduating high school soon , my daughter is 7 and has been recently diagnosed with separation disorder, I miss lots of work time to help her with therapy ect. I am really struggling due to a recent car major repair and the state took us off of food stamp benefits. Please help us have a nice Holiday season !! Thank you to all the Santa’s helpers (if you need anything further let me know I think I did this correctly)

http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3QKYKYVE8T2N0
Dawn, it’s there but it’s not a link. People won’t be able to just click it like all the others that are in pink. They will have to copy it and open a browser and then paste it into the url. I’m not sure how to fix that but hopefully someone will be willing to do that for you.
Jessica – I wouldn’t hear of it! If you truly want to do something, you can use it to purchase something small off of one of the lists on here 🙂 That would do WAY more good than reimbursing me!
Jas – hang tight, I’m gathering up some elves…
It works now Dawn 2622! Good luck!
www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3QKYKYVE8T2N0
Sorry for the double post, I don’t think the last one worked either.
I will go do that now Emily! Thanks so much again!
Thank you Jessica and anonymous #2984 for the help!
Christina Segundo Hernandez aka Bryanna, I wouldn’t normally do this but your are scamming just as you did last year and your continued postings about how everyone is just making assumptions have gotten under my skin. Here are 12 images collected. You say you don’t know Bryanna Alanis. It appears to be the name of your teen daughter, who lives with your parents in Indiana, sent you money for chicken nuggets once, as per your own old FB posting. You say that people who captured the Bryanna account with your name as account holder were looking at their own friend’s list. No, that’s not the way it works. When you click a stranger’s list here–any stranger–their wishlist pops up under friends. You have multiple accounts. Last year you posted under your name, and as Chris Pena, and God knows what else. You deleted many, many things from the purchased list. You were bought several expensive items including a swing (under Christina) and a bed (under Chris) and hundreds and hundreds of dollars in toys and clothes. You got away with it and came back in the worst kind of greedy spirt. This year you created a sob story for your 2nd account about losing everything in the Texas storm, which is a low blow to people who did actually lose everything. https://jessibelen.imgur.com/all/
Seriously. Just stop. STOP.
I originally did not include a list for my daughtersince she turned 18 in September but here is her list. I think I did not include a proper link when I posted it before. I don’t have a computer and the phone screen is soooo tiny. I think this momma needs reading glasses…..or basic phone use help. Haha.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1277SQ6H3I1T9/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1
To everyone else, I’m sorry I had to call that out. I love this Christmas miracle and it hurts me to see it abused. There is far more good here than bad and more reason to believe than be cynical, but there’s always that handful of people who are up to no good.
Hey again one more time guys, i fixed the out of stock stuff on their lists, I don’t mean to sound desperate but I am feeling a little desperate. If anyone has any magic left, even just to help with the clothes and coat stuff, i would be so so grateful.
Here are my sweet girls lists one last time, I switched out the winter coat for Harmony with one that was in stock. Thank you again so much guys!
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet. Here is her wishlist. http://a.co/dj3dZfT
Thank you all again and i promise I will quit bugging you now <3
Just one item left on our list that I’m hoping our two boys can open Christmas. They were blessed enough to have their other list of clothing items purchased along with their flash cards. This will be one of the only toy items placed under the tree for them. Thank you 💕

Esperanza & Jude,
If you are still reading the comments here I just want to say thank you so much for the touching Thank You note you sent via Amazon. I completely share in your experience of finding so much beauty in this world and you are certainly one who contributes to that beauty.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
Judy thank you so much! That will so so loved!
That only leave her nap mat and a couple small things on her list https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1XHY5GG7OVN7Q ❤ Thank you to whoever bought her the book and therapy item ❤
Christina – I did send a couple of “surprise” toy items with the coats the other day, but didn’t want to spoil it for you! Not to discourage anyone that wants to purchase the one on your list, but they’ll each have a toy to open 🙂 I wasn’t about to let your list go without including something fun!
I’m happy to send you the links to what I picked 🙂
Well Emily I was able to find a set of BFF kittens on someone’s list but now I can’t find her number/post lol. So Alicia H I’m sorry I was only able to get that one small item but the kittens are heading your way and set to arrive on the 20th
Unlikely nothing shows up when I click that link
Yay! This makes me happy 🙂
Emily you’re so kind. I’m so happy to hear they will have a toy to open ❤️ Clothing was a big thing needed for them so toys weren’t at the top of our list. No need to send a link, I am sure what you picked out they will love. Thank you so much for your generosity. We’re so grateful for you.
Jas (#2647) – some things on the way for both of your children. Everything should arrive by Monday. Hopefully it’s enough to keep the magic alive!
Hi again. I posted earlier (#2836). Hopefully there are still some elves out there. Trying to provide for all 3 kids alone isn’t easy. I appreciate anything. Merry Christmas!
Hi. I’m a single father seeking some help. It kills me to do this, but it has been very rough for me and my 3 kids. My wife passed earlier this year from cancer. This will be our first Christmas without her. I have a 16 year old who is a music junky. I swear he knows every song created. A 12 year old who loves to crochet. She learned from her mom and is pretty good at it. She asked for some fashion boots. I also have a 1 1/2 year old. She’s still learning what she likes, but right now her favorite toy is a Christmas ornament lol. Thanks in advance for any help you’re able to offer.

Hi, i saw someone say “Dawn your link doesnt work” and just wanted to make sure they didnt mean me! The link is https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/11IJA2N18RMLC I created a post for my boys because my hours were severely cut these last 2 weeks and I dont know how I’m going to handle Christmas, Original post is 2816
I also left a post for my best friend because her ijnternet is shut off, she is a newly single mom of 3 that just got away from an abusive relationship, and then had a fall and broke her foot a few weeks ago. She works as a CNA and she can’t work again until she’s off the crutches. This is her baby’s first Christmas. Original post is 2901 and the link is https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/214MUE975IMSA
As much as I would love the help, at least I’m still able to work, even though they cut me down to one day a week. If only one of us is able to get help I would definitely prefer it be her, they have had such a tough year and those kids deserve a great Christmas, and 2 of her kiddos are much younger than mine.
Thank you in advance to all the awesome angels on this page and for making me smile with all your awesomeness today! And thank you Jenny, and James, dude…you rock.
I recently added a coat for my two kiddos to my list. If anyone is able to help,we would be forever grateful. Thank you so much.
Josh from post #2801 here. I’d like to thank the kind people that picked up some of the things on the list like books, socks and a poster. I posted rather late and figured it was a long shot and didn’t expect anything so this was a nice surprise.
You people are amazing! The last 2 items were bought within an hour or so of my last post. I was hoping someone would comment that bought stuff from our list, so I could thank them personally on here. My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we so appreciate the help! We are really hoping we can return the favour in the future!
P.S. – Jenny, Hubby said when we can afford it, we will have to find you a weird taxidermied animal to send as a thank you for hosting this wonderful event that has helped us so much this year! 😀
Adrian J (#2836)
Dawn Hanson (#3003)
I’m going to give the Night Shift Elves a chance to catch up 🙂 Otherwise I’ll send some things your way in the morning when I check back in. (Dawn, this includes your friend’s list as well!)
Hi there – Nicholas from post #2777. Canadian father of 3 looking for some help for christmas after an industrial accident. My wonderful children are 8, 6, and 2 and are the only thing that got me through almost losing my leg in a somewhat sane and healthy state. They’re amazing children and despite not wanting to be materialistic, I want to be able to at least have a couple of things under the tree for them for Christmas ’17!
Thanks and blessings to all who participate in this list – you’re making the season wonderful!

Posting this for my sister and her kids.
She has two beautiful kids. Her son was born at 33 weeks. He’s been through several surgeries and has to travel to the children’s hospital several times a month. Between traveling back and forth and bills medical expenses they cannot afford much for Christmas. Her and her kids are amazing and they deserve a Christmas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1LR5UT71NXXDJ
Hi Denise O., I’m the one who finished off your wishlist. Those pjs were pretty darn cute! Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas. 🙂
This year has been exceptionally hard. Husband has been deployed for 5 months. Just received news that he won’t make it home for Christmas again this year. Dad deploys often so I am trying my hardest to start up a small business to get dad home. Our kids Brayden age 12 (turns 13 on Dec 27 and shares birthday with dad), Honor age 8, and Saxon age 5 months are troopers to handle such a load of heartbreak and still function as kids. They miss their dad. I want them to have a good Christmas as best possible. We would be grateful for whatever we get!

My fiance and i are struggling this year to make this x-mas work for our family, The Brady bunch as everyone calls us . Here’s our story last year in april my older sister was murdered she left 3 beautiful kids behind Michael who is now 13 yrs old, Pablo who is 15, and Abby who is 18 it was a very tragic loss won’t get to much into it since we are still mourning and it still feels like yesterday. At the time of her death i was 2 months pregnant , now the baby is a year old and i also have a son who is 10 and my fist born daughter who is now 20, my fiance also has a daughter who is 9. So that makes us a family of 9 and thats why everyone calls us The Brady Bunch . It has been really hard for our family living on a one income house hold since i had to quit my job in June of last year because we where trying and still trying to get legal guardianship of my nephews. I have to be the one to take them to school, therapy, doctor visits and so on. My fiance is the one who works and my oldest just got a job 3 weeks ago, it’s been financially a hardship because we are still not getting any help they have been giving us the round a round for a year in a half already on there case , we keep praying that everything is going to come together and our faith is what keeps us going. We have gone through so much this past year from being evicted and living in my moms place for 6 months to sometimes not having anything to eat but eggs. My sisters church has helped us find a place now where we are comfortable and the kids love because they have a back yard where they can play . But the struggle is real as we now have a rent and bills to pay, we are still working on getting a x-mas tree so the kids can at least decorate… Any Any help is appreciated and please keep My Brady Bunch in your thoughts and prayers , god bless you all and Merry x-mas
I didn’t realize “Anonymous” would be shown when I made my post. This isn’t something I expected to have to try to do so the kids could maybe have something on Christmas and I may have made an attempt too late. It’s difficult enough for me to keep up with the day to day, rent, bills, etc. so I’m just introducing myself more, I see no reason to repost, if someone wants to help they will, if not, I accept that and I certainly don’t expect anything. My name is Jeremy and my post is 2962. I posted for my children and my niece and nephew that I’m taking care of for my brother due to some personal issues he’s dealing with. I don’t like to dwell on financial issues and problems, since we all have them, so I kept it short. I kept the list small, but with things I know they’d like, since they can share and would be grateful for anything because that’s how they’ve been raised. Yes, diapers would be more of a benefit for me than the baby. I can get the baby some small things at a dollar store though if diapers happen to be bought, that’s the reasoning there. Anyway, regardless of what happens for me, I wish everyone else the best of luck in getting the help they need, it’s sad to see so many in need and I can only imagine the many others who haven’t found this site or don’t have other means. Though in its own way, it’s bittersweet to see we’re not alone. To the amazing, generous, and kind givers, you guys are the best and deserve more praise than anyone would be able to give you. I hope I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Sorry for taking space, I just felt the need to say that. Goodnight and good luck to everyone. ~Jeremy

To Unlikely Story, I totally feel you on this one. It doesn’t seem to matter that she’s been called out over and over, she still won’t stop. It’s a real shame that people take advantage of the good will and generosity being given here. I’m just trying to concentrate on all the kids we have helped this Christmas, but like you, it’s hard to ignore the scammers. We just have to accept that there’s always going to be a few bad apples, but the majority are decent, deserving people. Wishing you peace and love.❤️
Nicholas S. at #3008, I bought you the Bey Blade game. The Elsa doll and shoes are not able to be shipped to a gift registry, though. So you might want to switch those out for something else. You want to stick to things shipped by Amazon, I’m guessing. Merry Christmas from Edmonton!
Emily#3001, thank you from the bottom of my heart…without you Christmas just wasn’t going to happen here and now they will both have two gifts to open on Christmas morning! I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and that of everyone else on here. Much love and Merry Christmas!
Jenny and Lauren thank you so very much for your help this year 💜
LoriZ, no call or email, So I’m fearing the worst. If you email me at acupcakeblonde2@gmail.com I can give you my friend’s address for you to give to Amazon. To whomever purchased the t-shirt and 35 shade makeup set please email me too. I never got the items.

Mona 2374 I sent you an Amazon gift card for your daughter, as the gloves couldn’t be sent, and I thought she might want some books! Also, I am a knitter, and I would love to send her some fingerless mitts if you would feel comfortable sending me your address. My e-mail is crazyquilt at forestofarden dot com.
Jenni at 1773 in the UK. The Star Wars Joke book is on it’s way, due tomorrow (15th). Sorry it’s not much but I’d already hit my gifting limit when I saw your list, I tried to pick something that might be for one of the younger two kids as your eldest seems to have got so many guitar things for him, so I’m hoping I managed that. I tried to buy the Nerf foam cans but sadly they can’t be delivered to a gift registery address.
We have two boys, ages 9 and 6, who would be so appreciative of anything they receive! It’s been a rough year for us financially, and we struggle to keep our bills current, so we definitely can’t afford gifts for our boys 🙁 We would be so grateful for any and all help!!! http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/JHWIQGJMCWX4
Josh from #2801 again.
After I posted the wishlist I was adding and removing a few things around (found some cool items and deals) and a few items got purchased and I didn’t notice. Since I didn’t take those items into account for the cap of 60$ per kid with clothing I’ve made some tweaks to drop the total. I removed a book, a coloring book and a dinosaur figurine and added in a fidget spinner and some nice jackets. I’ll post the link again just so people don’t have to go back and find it. Sorry again about the confusion.

Hey guys I thought I’d try posting the list I made for Ryder one more time in hopes to surprise my little cousin with some Christmas help and cheer! I lost the original post for him and stupidly forgot to write the number down! The list is on my amazon account BUT it hs her address for the shipping I wasn’t sure how else to do it. My cousin Kayla is honestly one of the best people youd ever meet and the sweetest she is a very hard working mom to support her little boy and I couldn’t be more proud of her and the person she is becoming I was just hoping to be able to surprise her with a few gifts for her sweet little boy!

Just wanted to drop my list again as I am hoping for a little Christmas miracle for my kids. And to be honest I wasn’t even going to put my son on there except that its his last Christmas as a kid so I was hoping to surprise him. Both kids think its going to be the usual “stockings full of necessities” only Christmas, so when I heard about this I was excited that I may be able to do a little more this year with the help from others. Any help would be SO MUCH appreciated. Merry Christmas!

Hi Trisha2325, I looked at your list and several of the items say they are currently unavailable, and most are not amazon prime eligible. Maybe that’s why things haven’t been purchased yet?

Adrian J (#2836) – some things headed your way! I included a small surprise for the baby that wasn’t on your list – hope you don’t mind me going off script 🙂
The baby’s surprise won’t arrive until 12/20, but everything else will be there on Saturday. It’s not much, but I’m hoping it helps make this first Christmas without your wife a little bit easier…
Buffydee yes! I’m so sorry I’ve had the worst time! My address was messed up on the shipping I accidentally put 4939 instead of 4039 I fixed it but wasn’t able to correct it for the already shipped item! Needless to say I’ve been in panjck mode about it

Was wondering if there was still hope for the oldest to get a pack of socks, he is needing for christmas. Ik i have received help but I had no clue he needed them till just the other day, if there is still a little christmas spirit left plz help.
Also just wanted to say (since I haven’t been on for awhile, Thank you to the ones who have helped! I’m overjoyed and was in tears when things just started showing up at my house! I had tried to think of how christmas was gonna happen this year and now it is! Bless you all!
Hi, I’m original post #2816, just wanted to say it looks like the price for the shoes my 13 year old wants has dropped, and it also says there’s only one left in stock. It’s still a bit over the $40 mark but his giant self wears size 15 and that is the cheapest basketball shoes I could find in his size. He just made the team and desperately needs shoes, because the tread is worn down on the ones he has now and he keeps slipping during practice. If anyone wants to help my baby be the awesome basketball star we know he is, we would be eternally grateful! Here’s the list so you don’t have to search for it! Thank you and Merry Christmas <3<3<3
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/11IJA2N18RMLC
Buffydee I sent you an email!
Dawn Hanson – no worries! You’re next on my list 🙂 I wanted to get the things ordered for your friend first!
So…her kids will be getting the hoodies on the list…and then I went a little off script and added some board games and card games that they can all play together. And an adorable little stuffed animal for the baby. I hope that’s ok! It’s all I can do, but I wanted to make sure they each had something they needed and something fun. Everything should arrive between the 16th and the 18th!
Aw yay! They will be soooooo excited! Thank you so much Emily, that put a huge smile on my face! Would love an email or address where we can send thank you cards? My email is dnhanson at hotmail dot com
Dawn Hanson – me again 🙂 Shoes for your son are on the way, although there’s a chance they might arrive after New Year’s. Sorry about that! Everything else should arrive by the 20th.
Being from Chicago, I HAD to get your son the Jordan book lol. I did as much as I could, but there are a couple of small surprises in there too, just in case the other elves don’t see the rest of your list in time.
I’m literally in tears right now. Most of my list, and my friends list, has been purchased, including the shoes for my basketball star! Oh man, I feel so warm and tingly <3 Gonna turn on some Christmas music and dance around the house. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Emily, you really are an angel. I wish I could give you a hug.
Emily, we received the box containing the socks today. Thank you so much for the cute fox for my littlest. He will love it!!
❤️ 🦊
Emily- Thank you so much. Nothing is too little. You are truly a blessing. My 12 year old, specifically, will be so happy to see new crochet needles and tools. Merry Christmas!
My name is Jessica and I am a single mom to two wonderful kids. Alex is a 14 yo boy who loves to run cross country and do all the outdoor sports. Brooke is my 16 year old girl and the typical teen and older sister. Our story is not as compelling as some of the others on here but it is what it is. I am working a deadend job that does not pay much and live in a deadend state and it is too expensive to move. We live paycheck to paycheck and I know the kids can tell which really breaks my heart. Never in a million years would I think I would be where I am today and so strapped. Right now they have some presents under the tree but they are the basics like socks and underwear. I am also on a community tree but I do not know what if anything will be arriving from that until next weekend. Jessica D.

I’m a struggling dad trying to take care of my kids I have 2 girls and 2 boys from the ages of 5-15 my wife’s mother just passed last month and all our savings had to go to bury her. Anything anyone does to help would be very appreciated
I’m not sure if my post ever posted but here ima try again I’m a single mom who’s mother just passed away and everything I would have had saved for Christmas had to go to bury her and to take care of my minor brother who I now have custody of. This yr has been very hard on us please if anybody can help with anything it would be appreciated thank you and have a blessed Christmas
❤❤❤ I am a mother of 3 wonderful little girls. I try my best to empower them and show them how to be independent. I have never been able to bring myself to ask for help, but I feel as if I am letting them down this Christmas. We have never had an extravagant Christmas haigui hardly get anything close to what some other families get for Christmas. Christmas to us is more about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Celebrating family and friends and spending time together as one. I would deeply appreciate any help that is given and as soon as I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I don’t expect anything for myself this Christmas just my children. And I honestly don’t expect that from anyone either, but it would it be extremely appreciated and I would be forever grateful. May God forever bless you all!

TO ANYONE THAT HELP, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

@Beth, fancy meeting you here! 😉 Thank you so much my dear!! <3
3 years ago the James Garfield Christmas Miracle helped me to provide Christmases for 20 families at the elementary school where I was a social worker. So many books! So many toys! So many warm fleece jackets! It was phenomenal. I kept all of the little papers that Amazon sent along with the packages, and I folded them into hundreds of origami cranes, which still hang in the social work room to this day at that elementary school.
This year, I’ve decided to stock up a brand new shelter with some toiletries and basic clothes. A good friend of mine from grad school just opened this new shelter space in Philadelphia, and they spent hours painting, moving furniture, buying bedding, etc. But their residents are still lacking some basic necessities this holiday season. I set up an Amazon Wishlist to help fulfill some of their needs (soap, shampoo, deodorant, socks, underwear, sweatpants, etc). Most of the items are between $8 and $12. Just a few minutes of time could provide some dignity for someone during possibly their worst holiday season ever.
Thanks for making this post again this year, Jenny. xoxo
I have two things left on my list. My son has begged for an Alexa since his birthday in September. He has ADHD, and music is his way to escape. My daughter just thinks I’m lame and asked for some “fashion boots” lol Just posting again to see if the other elves out there can help. ❤️
I’m a single father seeking some help. It kills me to do this, but it has been very rough for me and my 3 kids. My wife passed earlier this year from cancer. This will be our first Christmas without her. I have a 16 year old who is a music junky. I swear he knows every song created. A 12 year old who loves to crochet. She learned from her mom and is pretty good at it. She asked for some fashion boots. I also have a 1 1/2 year old. She’s still learning what she likes, but right now her favorite toy is a Christmas ornament lol. Thanks in advance for any help you’re able to offer.

Thank you to the person who bought a gift for Martha! I have asked Morgan to pick out a different coat since her original choice is no longer available, and in case there are any other people out there looking to buy. Thank you!
This is a group of lists for a little family that has has nothing but tragedy this year. I’m doing what I can, and hoped that you guys could do just a little bit more to make it special. If you can, they will be over the moon. If you can’t, I completely understand. They’ve lost more than anyone deserves to lose in a lifetime. You guys have given so much already, I understand if you have nothing left to give. Thank you for giving it all a look.

A waddle of penguins are on their way with Jenny’s book. I was tickled pink when I saw it and just knew that the Bloggess would be pleased to know that her coloring book would help bring Christmas cheer. there are still some items left for 7the reindeer to bring. I’m sure one of them will round up a nice coat for your daughter.
Thank you to whoever got my boy the tshirts and a warm hat for work! I don’t know how to tell who it is from.
Hi – Im a single dad and was told about this by my neighbor. It is just me and my 17 year old son and my baby boy in our apartment. Sorry if I don’t want to give a lot of information it all just happened in the last couple months and we are trying to figure things out. My son is going to school and working construction with me. My neighbor helped make the lists and is going to help post this for me because I don’t’ have internet at home. My son doesn’t need any toys what he really needs is a warm coat, boots, and gloves while working outside this winter with me. I did put a couple things I thought he might think are fun. We are both wearing pretty old coats of mine. My baby boy is just a few months so he really isn’t going to know if he has much to open. I chose a few books and some clothes for him. Actually some diapers and wipes would be better to save money but I don’t have time to go change it. Thanks.

Hello,
My Name is Sarah A. Jaghamin and I have 5 wonderful grandchildren that I am caring for now. I live in an intentional community in the Catskill Mountains of New York. A lovely young lady that lives here said that this list blessed her and her children this holiday season and suggested that I give it a tr because of my situation.
I understand that we all have a sad story in our lives and my life is full of them. I am feeling less than jolly this holiday season, About 7 weeks ago my only child my daughter and her by a husband were driving to work when they were hit head on by a drunk driver. They both lost their lives due to that accident. I went from retired grandma to mommy/daddy/grandma/provider all at once and with my limited social security its hard.
The life insurance managed to cover the funerals and bills, My check and the assistance I get convers the bills and food but not much else. I am trying to squeak out a holiday to help the kids feel more in the holiday spirit. It so hard since I am grieving too,
I just can’t get myself to celebrate to much but I am trying for them … I hate asking for help but I just have to in order to have something under the tree. I am thankful for anything you may be able to do for these little angels. They are hurting so much but all the =y want to do is take care of me,
Kids info…..
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/34NSDL0F5NOEC?type=wishlist&filter=all&sort=default
**** Interesting points *******
The kids were raised Wiccan so they love WIcca stuff and Pagan things thats why its on the list — if you feel a different book or calendar is more appropriate is better I understand or if its against your religious beliefs I apologizes for offending you.
Sincerely,
Sara J
PS …..
***** I do not want anyone to think I am trying to trick anyone or cheat the system at all. Please remember this is a communal living situation so we share a computer here so it may come up as the same IP address and home address as other who have requested help. I just don’t want to be characterized negatively. ******
THANK YOU to those who have helped already with a few items for my amazing grandkids. They are going to be so excited and I am so thankful. I am hoping to be able to find a way to get what isn’t chosen somehow. Blessings, love, hope and peace to you all.
PLEASE HELP!
Reposting for my Mother, Tina Olson
My mother and 2 siblings moved across the country with us in May this year to make a new start, which is always difficult starting over. She is a single mom taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ. He has Aspergers, ADHD, among other emotionally crippling issues stemming from past experiences and emotionally damaging situations that we are working on learning to cope with. She also cares for my beautiful 16 year old sister, Emma. Recently, my mom was let go from her job for “not being able to keep up.” This is mainly due to some cognitive impairment issues she now faces after a major concussion/TBI she suffered last year. We were lucky to find her another job, but it is in a factory working very long hours 6 days a week. The lapse between work put her even further behind then what she was, and she is struggling to make the house payment, and simply won’t be able to provide any presents for my siblings this year. Many years in the past I have stepped up for birthdays and holidays and bought presents for them and put my mom’s name on them for her, but this year I’m simply not in the position too. If there are any extra elves or reindeer available to help my brother and sister, I’ll pay it forward two fold next year, for helping not only them, but my 2 children y’all have helped this year as well. I have attached a small list for Emma and AJ, it includes some pajamas (a Christmas eve tradition in our family) Emma loves make-up and anything foxen, and AJ is growing up way to fast for me! And could really use an electric razor. Thank you all so much in advance.

Hoping someone will see the last few things on my daughters wish list. The most needed is the blanket/mat I’m very hopeful that a elf or penguin may see that need ?
original post #1822. I haven’t been able to read every comment, but I did notice all but one item from my kids wishlist has been purchased and I am floored!! I wish I could thank you personally but know that my littles are going to be so surprised and so happy with everything that you have sent! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I can’t wait to be able to help others as well.
Happy Holidays to everyone!!
Thank you to the mystery elf who got a couple of items for my niece! Her younger brothers have 1 item each left on their list –
a big fuzzy blanket for the little one’s bed and a Star Wars Mr Potatohead (only 1 left in stock) for the middle kid. I’m all tapped out after getting them new coats this winter and a kind neighbor gifted them much needed hats, scarves, and mitts! As I posted above, my brother has been battling a deep depression for a long time and hadn’t done anything about Christmas. These kids wouldn’t have a Christmas at all if it weren’t for all of your help! Thank you so much for all you’ve done!

Nicholas from #2777 – thanks all who have helped me out for this Christmas!! I can’t put it into words how awesome thing whole thing is.
Two out of my three are getting anonymous santa gifts, my youngest (2 years old) is naturally a “Frozen” girl and would love a plush!
Blessings to all of you!

Christina – you’re so very welcome! I’m glad they’re going to like their surprises 🙂 Connect 4 was always one of my favorites too, so it was a no-brainer!
Jessica M – I just got word that the two sets of baby shoes/boots will not arrive until sometime in January. Apparently, Santa is taking the loooooooong way around via overseas. I’ll try to keep you updated, but hopefully the baby won’t notice 🙂
Hello and Happy Holidays! Our family has been hit by hardship after hardship this past month and we are hanging on as well as we can, we’ve been struggling to even have food in the fridge. My daughter is 7 and she is super bright and creative, she loves all sorts of activities, I would love for her to have a few things under the tree this Christmas. Thank you for your time and consideration!! Please know how much this means to us!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/9A9KNUU5CXD5/ref=cm_wl_huc_title
To Anonymous post #2540,
The book and Funko Pop, you ordered, arrived today.
Thank you, again. I am so very grateful for your generosity.
☺
My kids all have something to open on Christmas morning, thanks to a few angels here! It is so very kind of you all, they are going to love it.
I made a 2 item list for the aunt and uncle who took on our family, but only if everyone elses kids have their wishes fulfilled first!
I would not want to take joy from a kid even to make my aunt and uncle smile.
I found out today I won’t be able to go back to work after all, more treatment is needed, so I wont be able to get her the chair her doctor suggested.
But please only consider it if the kids on all these lists have their wishes please.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3O4YJXWRMIBC8 Hello I’m a newly single mother, this is for my daughter it’s a little over the limit but she don’t need clothes or toys. My preemie little girl has colic real bad. Her swing was the only thing that helped her get some relief. I can’t afford a new one right now as funds are going towards bills. Hoping someone would help us out so she can get some relief and sleep. God bless.
I know nobody has seen my list but I wanted to be honest:
I saw someone’s post about Jenny’s book and realized how truly special that would be for my 15 year old. SHe has mental health struggles as well as behavioral. I added it to the list but then I removed 3 things in exchange so that it was fair just in case there are any elves left.

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident and then air lifted to the hospital. He still currently has seizures and is trying to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both stated back to work thank goodness. Or kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are going for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2
We are praying for any help possible please. 😦

I attempted to put it in the actual profile again but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right.
Thank you. ♡♡♡
I don’t know if there’s anybody left helping people but I have to try. Not asking for much, but hoping someone will be kind enough to help as things seem to be getting worse. I don’t want to get too much into everything, this year has just been the worst, but I was barely getting by and I actually just got laid off, along with a lot of other employees, so things are going to be very difficult. I’m pretty stressed out right now, so it’s difficult for me to say much. The kids have zero gifts and I’m not going to be able to get them anything. The kids are really great and deserve more than I could ever give them. They’re extremely helpful with things that need to be done around the house and watching the baby, especially the girls, and it’d just mean a lot to know they’ll have something on Christmas.
Original Post 2962
Hi. I’m a single father and I have my brother’s kids staying with me too. Everyday is a struggle. I thought I’d be able to get them some things this year, but I had some problems with my car I needed to get fixed and we barely get by as it is. I don’t really know how this works, so I’m just going to post the list link and hope someone will be kind enough to lend me a hand. I didn’t put much on there since so many people need help and they will be happy just to have something. Thank you for this site and to anyone reading. Happy Holidays! Link: http://a.co/d5H5PiW
i am from post 2325 and 3041
Wendy thanks for given me advise on why maybe the kids list hadn’t been touched. With that being said i have went back in and made sure there is nothing that is not on prime or unavailable on there. So maybe that will help me thanks so much
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/ref=navm_ftr_wl
Ok I really hope I am doing this right. And im not too late a family friend told me about this and any little thing hope make my Lil angels so happy and I myself so greatful
I am actually not doing this for myself. Some really good friends of mine ( Melissa and Chris) are in need of a little help this year. Her husband is having some serious heart complications and has been out of work now for about 6 months. She has always been a stay at home mom and is having trouble finding a job which has caused a ton of financial woes. This is also her very favorite time of year and due to the lack of funds, she hasn’t even put up a Christmas tree! This is unheard of! She said it’s because there is nothing to put under it anyway. Their daughter (Brianna) is 13 years old and one of my own as well. I wish I could go out and make Christmas happen for them, but I’m barely making it happen for my own kiddos. So, I am hoping with some extra helpers, they can have a little something to open for Christmas. I have made a list of things I know their daughter likes and just a couple of gift cards for my friends. The address on the lists go directly to them as well. Here are the lists I made for them:
Melissa & Chris – http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1R0Q2L5L85EQY
Brianna – http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/81143BET5SQO?&sort=default
Hi, I’m from original post 2816, I had originally posted looking for help for myself, and for a friend’s family (2901) but because of all the amazing help I received, and the fact that someone gifted me an Amazon gift card, I wanted to pay it forward a bit.
So Sarah Jaghamin from 3072, I got your kitty food, and I picked a slightly lower prices Pokemon toy not on your list so I could make sure to afford them both. I hope it helps. It says they will arrive around the 22nd. Merry Christmas!
I’m still hoping my friend’s list is able to get fulfilled, the link is https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/214MUE975IMSA if anyone is still able to help. Thanks all!
Bless you angels
Reposting this for my sweet sister and her kids. Posting this for my sister and her kids.
She has two beautiful kids. Her son was born at 33 weeks. He’s been through several surgeries and has to travel to the children’s hospital several times a month. Between traveling back and forth and bills medical expenses they cannot afford much for Christmas. Her and her kids are amazing and they deserve a Christmas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1LR5UT71NXXDJ thank you to the person who bought 2 gifts off the list.❤
My original post was 2758. I have noted that my kids have been purchased 1 item each which i am very great full but on the sad part is the item that was purchased for Haden and Lee is for the fingerlings that they are asking for so i am posting again to see if there are any angles or santa that cant help us. I also went through all there list and took off anything that wasn’t on prime.

I’m almost certain this list is not exhaustive and new lists have shown up since I’ve been keeping track. I just know there were a couple of people that did something like this two years ago and it was a helpful way to jump right to the folks that still needed help 🙂
Graciously asking for a little help this Christmas. Here are the small lists we made for our children with the guidelines. We hope you all have a merry Christmas and stay warm. To all Santa’s elves – Thank you for considering my family and helping if you can. ⭐️ 🎅🏻 🦌 🛷 🎁
J age 9 months (no gifts chosen) http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/19MWKN37W3Q7F
L age 2 years (1 book gifted) http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3JII0X0FF6O9M
M age 17 years (no gifts chosen) http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/25GPZ41FQ21CE
Jeremy A (#2962) – I’m running a little low on reindeer, but your post is on my radar. It might take me a day or so, but I will do everything I can to make sure the kids have something to open on Christmas 🙂
Update- for the list I posted for my friend and her family(2901), I originally put 1 hoodie and 1 $25-$30 toy for each kid. The hoodies have been purchased(You rock, Emily!) But I decided to delete the more expensive gifts and instead replace them with lower-priced options in case there’s some people like me who can’t afford to do much, but want to do something. Here’s their list again, a short summary of their situation for those that don’t want to scroll back and find the original post is that she is a newly single mom of three, a 13 year old girl, four year old boy, and a 10 month old boy, who just got away from an abusive relationship, and a few weeks ago she had a fall and broke her foot and is unable to work her job as a CNA. They could really use some help for baby’s first Christmas. Thanks in advance!

Happy Holidays! A friend told me about this amazing group, so I come here for a little help to fulfill my sons Christmas. He is such an awesome, funny kid. He is always telling knock knock jokes, trying to make others laugh, he tries so hard in school, and is an avid prankster. He loves the outdoors and is always seeking adventure.
If anyone could help put a smile on his face, I will be forever grateful. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

You have children living in shelters? Canada is far from perfect, but I think that would be not a thing here except for recent illegal border crossers – and for only a short time. Unfortunately some kids (teens) do end up in hotels under foster care,and some kids do end up in transition houses with moms fleeing abuse, and of course in emergency situations (fire/flooding, etc.) but usually not for long. I dont think kids actually live in shelters otherwise here.
Emily what a great idea to group them together like that! Hopefully all those lists get emptied soon! <3
PS, I emailed you 🙂
First Christmas for 8 year old after leaving abusive father and living in a shelter for 5 months. Living in New apartment but struggling to pay rent (behind 2 months) and can’t afford Christmas. She’s a good kid and has been amazing all year.
Hello my name is Lisa. I posted under number to 2958 I believe. A list for three grandchildren who don’t have much. Their parents have health issues which have exhausted any available funds. If anybody could help with their simple lists it would be such a blessing to this family.

I’ve been reading through the comments, the amount of generosity flowing through this page is nothing short of a miracle. With all the turmoil in our world today it is refreshing to see that their are so many kind, altruistic people in the world. I have been debating on weather to publish my own list as I am was raised to take care of your own and not to beg for help. I have come to the conclusion that accepting help from others to provide a Christmas for my children is not something to be ashamed of. I was led to this sight for a reason and pledge to pay it forward. Thank you Jenny and all of your elves for helping so many.

Thank you whoever purchased the books for my daughter, I am so excited to see her face on Christmas morning.
If there are any other elves or angels left, my other daughter has no gifts to speak of. If the things are too much I understand and can find smaller items. If I’m out of line asking for help for her please excise me
My girls are my world and I wish I could give them everything but sometimes I fail and I’m just trying to do right by them
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/11IY35V0FCBAC
Elisaashley (3112) I just tried to buy some gifts for you but I don’t think you’ve added your address! Would love to be able to send something for your daughter
Hey Emily, I seen your comment with the list of others needing help and the comment mentioning me directly and I just want to say thank you very much! You are extremely kind to help so many people and to also consider helping me when the reindeer are low 🙂 It’s so nice to know someone even took the time to look and is considering.

Santa in Sydney has just bought a few things for Misty’s family (2901). I’m pregnant with our first bub and I can’t imagine what it would be like for them not to have some gifts under the tree on Christmas morning. Sending love and sunshine from Down Under! Xoxo
Thank you thank you THANK you to whoever just bought out almost all of my friends list. I can not WAIT to see pictures of their faces Christmas morning!!!
You guys are soooooo amazing!
Post 3104, M’s wishlist link isn’t working. Could you update it?
Flo mom post 3100 – I ordered fingerlings for both boys, but the ones you had on the list had very bad reviews, so I got them the brand name fingerlings. I tried to mark your list as purchased, but have been unable to do so. They should arrive by the 20th.
Are we not supposed to ask for things for teenagers? I think my list looks like it is for grown ups but I promise it is for two teenagers.
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ZW8ZBTJMD47F
Hi Wendy! I’m sorry about that. Here is the right link (3104). Thank you!
M age 17 years http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/25GPZ41FQ2EC1
Nicholas S. from 3083, I want to buy your daughter something, but again, the two things you have listed don’t ship to a gift registry address because they’re Marketplace items. Try to find something that is shipped by Amazon, like the gifts you’ve already got coming.
Any Santa’s still out there looking to spread some Christmas magic and cheer, I just found out a few days ago that our local McDonalds coordinates a toy drive with the local girl scouts. The way I understood it, ALL McDonalds do this. Ours has a tree in the lobby with little paper stars all over it. Each star represents a local child in need of Christmas magic. None of the stars has personal information on it, just something like “14 year old girl, wants a purse or make-up”. You take the star, get the gifts, and then take them back to the McDonalds where the, as I understand it, girl scouts will pick them up and make sure they get to the families who needed the help. BUT, there’s a catch. I think this only going on up until the 17th so that girl scouts will have time to make sure that the gifts get to the families in time. I may be wrong, not sure though. I work at McDonalds so I can always find out for sure. So if anyone is still looking for a good way to help kids this Christmas, there’s always that option. I’m not trying to take away from this awesome site and this awesome bunch of people, but I wanted to pass the information on.
THANK YOU !To all Santas helpers who have bought my kids things!!! Merry Christmas to you 😊
TFamily’s 3 kids, post 3104, M’s socks are currently unavailable – is there another option?
Sarah from post 3072- my friend Misty said she has a whole binder of about 300 Pokemon cards that she would love to send for your boy if you would be comfortable giving out your address. If so, email me at dnhanson at hotmail dot com

Mama Katy just wanted to give you a heads up that the list limit is supposed to be around $40 per child. I didn’t want you to not get your list fulfilled because of that.
Dawn / #3003 — a hoodie and a cute book are on their way to you. Should be there in 2-3 days!
Hi it’s me from post 2481 again. I am really starting to get worried. Maybe I have been overlooked or posted wrong, but really praying that I can have “Santa” come for my 6 year old granddaughter. I will put the link again http://a.co/3MrcKcy.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all
I was back in the 700s and was so happy that each of my kids received something. I’m back because my heart has been touched and I’m hoping others will too. I was couponing today (16 packs of 12 rolls of cottonelle for $.37 lol) and a woman with a young son and daughter was there. She was amazed at my transaction and asked if she could get my number and I could help her coupon. After speaking to her I found out that she was in our local battered women’s shelter and she just moved into her own place the first of the month. Her ex is in jail (hopefully for a very long time) and she’s starting completely over. I immediately filled 2 laundry baskets FULL of stuff I had from couponing and took it to her new apartment. She sat and cried and it absolutely broke my heart, I spent a couple hours just listening. This woman is completely broke but is so determined to make a new life for herself and her kids. Anyway, I thought it would be neat to surprise her with a couple presents for Christmas. I tried to snoop asking the kids what they like and stuff. Neither of them have pillows currently and are using a folded sheet so I put a pillow for each and a set of Shrinky dinks (totally remember those from when I was a kid and was so excited to hear the little girl say she wanted some lol). That’s all I put on there because I honestly wouldn’t even know what else and just want to see them receive something. I’m sorry this is so long I was just so excited to get home, get on here and share her story!
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2UNUJJ7LPF1B0
Judy, oh my goodness thank you! Wow! I can’t believe the generosity I’ve received, I’m truly blown away. Thank you so so much! If you email me at dnhanson at hotmail dot com we still send you Christmas morning pics!
I went ahead and deleted the last thing off my list, it was just a hoodie for my son and I just found out he’s receiving one from a friend. The rest of my list was purchased! I can’t express how thankful I am to those that contributed. Merry Christmas everyone!
Roxie, just checked amazon and the shoes are coming on Monday, not Friday! Whoops! But they’re on their way!!
Still holding on to hope that someone can help with a crib mobile ❤

Melissa (and Micheal)
Amazon has told me my items will not arrive unless the people who bought them are given my new address, or they rebuy them with the address currently attached to my list now. Everything bought for my daughter has been returned to the buyers, Amazon told me. I’m not sure if any of the people, like LoriZ, will see this message, but if you do, please either email me at acupcakeblonde2@gmail.com so I can give you the address to give to Amazon. Or repurchase the items with the new address from my list. I’m hoping this reaches the wonderful people who bought my daughter things in time! Wishing for a Christmas miracle.
http://a.co/cbG8h5C
Cynthia Lewis, #3135, I had the two frozen items and pants ready to purchase, but even selecting two day shipping it said the items wouldn’t arrive until after Christmas. Other options?
Dawn, I purchased your friends gifts. Her list is complete.
Jessica from 3136, I don’t know what’s going on with my Amazon, maybe because I’m trying to do it on my phone, but it’s not letting me use my gift card credit, and trying to charge me full shipping even though it says it qualifies for free shipping. This happened earlier when I tried to purchase for someone else and I ended up having to call them and it was a whole long process. Would you be comfortable just e-mailing me the address so I can send it directly using my Amazon app, because at least I know that works. I’m just trying to buy the slinky Dink, it’s not much but, I’m a fellow couponer and I couldn’t resist your story. If it’s ok, my email is dnhanson at hotmail dot com
Hello! We were so surprised by an Amazon box! Thank you so much for fulfilling a portion of my girls Christmas wishes! Every little bit helps make the holiday special for these special little ladies! (1830-ish original post)
Omg. You guys keep making me cry today. Thank you so very much, anonymous. If you would like some Christmas morning thank you pics, my email is dnhanson at hotmail dot com
Hoping with all that I am, that someone may find my daughters list and bless us with even one single thing for my younger girl as her sister has 3 on the way and nothing for her. Thank you and god bless.

Wendy, This is Cynthia #2481/3135 It looks like it was the necklace that was out of stock until Dec 21, so I deleted that and added a few other options. Try one of those and let me know if that fixes it. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you

Hi Cynthia #2481/3135, the music box wasn’t going to arrive until the 28th, so I went with the necklace, night shirt, and pants. Merry Christmas!

Original post 2491
Thought I’d give it one last shot. My last day of work is tomorrow and my wife stays home with our two youngest. We tapped out our savings this year fixing some major things in our home and I’m worried about getting too far behind. My wife is big on playing santa every year but is too stubborn to ask for help. So I decided to ask for my family. I’ve got three great kiddos, Ry just started high school she’s on the basketball team and in theatre. She loves to cosplay and paint her face and all that fun stuff I don’t totally understand. MJ is 5, she’s my mad scientist. She loves to dress up even while playing in the mud. Then there’s Jack who is 1 1/2. It’s been a crazy year for him as he was born with a rare form of polydactyl. Totally healthy kid,just more appointments and tests than usual. He loves music and will dance to any tune. He loves balls and Barbies thanks to his sister. 🙂

Brie Clark (post 3086) – your wishlist is fulfilled! Your daughter sounds like an inquisitive and amazing kid – I hope she loves what Santa brings her!. Amazon says all 3 items should arrive on Sunday the 17th.
Oh my!
I’m speechless!
Sorry for not responding sooner. I’m feeling a bit stretched thin.
Who ever helped us (1562-I had to search back & fund our “#”) & everyone else who has/will help others… words cannot explain the happiness! I didn’t tell my husband what I had done(posting the wish lists)… I wasn’t sure anything would happen. I prayed about it, I did it & I left it in God’s hands! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!
I can’t say thank you enough! I’m still working on a local/neighborhood level to provide my Niece/Nephew(& their kiddos)more help with restocking/creating their home. But at least now I know the children all will have something under the tree(which I got donated from neighbors-with decorations!!)
May God bless you all!
Josh from #2801 yet again.
Apparently a lot of the stuff I had on the wishlist went off of sale or went out of stock yesterday so I re-updated it and everything should now be between 5-12$ (not including the jackets because good luck finding jackets for that price) making it a lot easier on people. Thanks a lot for being amazing people.

Posting this for my sister and her kids.
She has two beautiful kids. Her son was born at 33 weeks. He’s been through several surgeries and has to travel to the children’s hospital several times a month. Between traveling back and forth and bills medical expenses they cannot afford much for Christmas. Her and her kids are amazing and they deserve a Christmas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1LR5UT71NXXDJ

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3O4YJXWRMIBC8 Hello I’m a newly single mother, this is for my daughter it’s a little over the limit but she don’t need clothes or toys. My preemie little girl has colic real bad. Her swing was the only thing that helped her get some relief. I can’t afford a new one right now as funds are going towards bills. Hoping someone would help us out so she can get some relief and sleep. God bless.
Hi! I hope I’m doing this correctly. So this is the first year in a few years that I am without a job. I have applied but unfortunately nothing came through in time for the holidays. It’s not normal for me to have an empty Christmas Tree at such a late date in December but I cannot complain as my kids are healthy and so am I, and I’ve been putting off posting here because I know there are so many children who have a lot less than my own and it’s hard for me to ask for something and not feel selfish, but for my kids I’d walk to the ends of the earth. So I kept their list simple, some pjs to keep them warm at night, and plenty of books to keep their minds and imaginations occupied. I’d appreciate anything even just some words of encouragement:) Merry Christmas to you all.

I am needing help again with another child…my sister in law messaged me yesterday asking if we could help her with a jacket for her son Tyler he is 3 and we had to tell her we didn’t have the funds to do it. She is a single mom that will be going to college the beginning of the year to better her life for her and her son and normally we would do anything to help our nephew Tyler but we just don’t have it. I am asking if there is any angels or penguins that can help and get him a jacket. I added it to my list with Tyler name next to it that is all she was asking for help with so I didn’t want to make a new list for just one item any help would be greatly appreciated. She just needs a warm jacket for him thanks and God bless.
Sue (2381) I was able to send a few items your way – arriving this Sunday. I also have a six year old son and he loves a good game of Jenga! Hopefully someone else will be able to pick up the rest of your very modest list. Cheers!

Jenny, is there a way to get in touch with you privately about someone I’m almost certain is scamming? I don’t want to call them out publicly, as that causes drama and does a lot of damage if incorrect, but if I could send you the post numbers and background info perhaps you have better methods of making sure? It’s hard to see people unknowingly helping a scammer instead of an actual child in need :'(
Thank you to the lead penguin that sent Jenny’s book. I am praying that an elf will be able to help out with a coat for my daughter, and to the anonymous elf that sent the art Set. Rose will be so surprised to receive it.
I am praying that some one can help me out with her coat. Rose is being teased at school for wearing my torn and heavily stained coat. She says it doesn’t bother her, but as a mom I am heartbroken. I’ve called all the help agency’s in my area, but I am too late. If you see a nice coat that is less expensive please send it our way. Heck if you have an old coat that is in nice shape I’ll send you our address if you could ship it to us. She wears a womens large and is a tom boy so any color other than pink or purple would be preferable, but honestly I would take any coat in good shape at this point. Kids can be so cruel.

Any extra reindeer, elves or penguin friends available to help my little brother and sister?!
Reposting for my Mother, Tina Olson
My mother and 2 siblings moved across the country with us in May this year to make a new start, which is always difficult starting over. She is a single mom taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ. He has Aspergers, ADHD, among other emotionally crippling issues stemming from past experiences and emotionally damaging situations that we are working on learning to cope with. She also cares for my beautiful 16 year old sister, Emma. Recently, my mom was let go from her job for “not being able to keep up.” This is mainly due to some cognitive impairment issues she now faces after a major concussion/TBI she suffered last year. We were lucky to find her another job, but it is in a factory working very long hours 6 days a week. The lapse between work put her even further behind then what she was, and she is struggling to make the house payment, and simply won’t be able to provide any presents for my siblings this year. Many years in the past I have stepped up for birthdays and holidays and bought presents for them and put my mom’s name on them for her, but this year I’m simply not in the position too. If there are any extra elves or reindeer available to help my brother and sister, I’ll pay it forward two fold next year, for helping not only them, but my 2 children y’all have helped this year as well. I have attached a small list for Emma and AJ, it includes some pajamas (a Christmas eve tradition in our family) Emma loves make-up and anything foxen, and AJ is growing up way to fast for me! And could really use an electric razor. Thank you all so much in advance.

P.S. wish list is addressed to my house(Becca), because anything sent to their house will get opened right away and ruin the surprise!!

I’m hoping there’s still someone out there that can help me with something. A kind person here was generous enough to purchase a pair of boots for my oldest. I looked them over last night and realize now I picked out a size too small. I don’t know who purchased them for us so I can’t see if they can try and return them for me and purchase another pair in his size. The boots that were bought for him don’t even go up to the size he needs 🙁 so, I now have to return these boots so the sender gets their money back but that will leave him with no boots. There’s a pair below that I know will fit him if anyone is able to get them. It’s not the biggest deal but he did ask for boots and thanks to me buying the wrong size I may have messed that up for him and I feel awful about it. 🙁

Danielle #2831 Sorry for the delay! But the Penguin Book Club INSISTED on reading each book before delivering… Quality Control, they said 😀 Merry Christmas
Kathryn #2533.. I found several Reindeer and Penguin puzzling over the Lego kit… they couldn’t figure out how to put it together, not having opposable thumbs! Silly hooves and flippers 😀 They’re on their way now. Merry Christmas Corbin!
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves, you are a dear and your posts are such fun! I especially loved reading your background post, though. Strangely, my mom made us felt advent calendars too…I guess it must have been a craft project in some women’s magazine back then? It was my favorite Christmas tradition and I never knew anyone else who had one! We had two to share among three, though, and only 24 pockets apiece, so our math worked out a little better than yours. Wishing you all the joys of the season (but clearly, you’re already having them)!!
Kristy (#3079), you are so very welcome! I hope your son loves the blanket! Merry Christmas!
And Jenny, thanks for being you! You are truly an inspiration to so many. Not just now but all year long. The world is so much better with you in it.
To anyone getting nervous about Christmas for their kids because your list hasn’t been fulfilled yet, be sure to check locally for organizations collecting toys and clothes for kids for Christmas. Toys for Tots is one well-known and widespread program, but your local town/city hall can very likely connect you with a variety of other organizations—domestic abuse shelters and protective services, hospitals, banks, churches, and police stations often have holiday giving programs. Some will let you choose your own gifts; others offer wrapped mystery packages for an age range or gender. In my area, the town hall itself collects and distributes gifts from which parents can make their own selections, and last year the donations far exceeded the demand, possibly because the availability wasn’t well enough advertised. So do check, and please, please, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. That’s what these programs are there for, and they don’t want to be left with a pile of ungiven gifts any more than you want your kids to wake up on Christmas morning without one!
Shoes are on the way for your boys Kaycee #1877. 🙂
Thank you Emily for taking time to look through the lists and make it easier to find lists that need some love.
Karen – one of many elves, you are one of my favorite people! Thank you for sharing the memories of your amazing mom! She did a wonderful job raising such a hilarious and giving friend to so many. 🙂
Jenny – Thank you for making me laugh and cry with tears of joy. You make me feel like I fit in. 🙂
I’m so glad to be part of this miracle!!!!!
Jeremy A (#2962) – Found some reindeer hanging out in the way back, so I’m sending them your way! They were thrilled to help a fellow Illinoisan 🙂
Everything should arrive by 12/20. I included some games and something for the little guy, so there will be surprises in there too. I was telling my husband about your list and he insisted that we send something for each of the kids to have as their own, that they wouldn’t have to share – are there any small things you can think of that you could add to their list? Books that they like? What are they interested in?
I know you have a ton on your plate at the moment, so if this seems overwhelming (and you’re comfortable emailing me), I am happy to pick some things out for each of them. My email is esiska82 at yahoo.
Hello to everyone. I just noticed the book on my grandsons list has price dropped by 18%. It is now $12.94. He and his brother have a very small, untouched list if anyone is still looking for a child to help. They are 8 and 4 years old and love typical boy things like playing with cars and being outside in nature. Mom and Dad have had an extremely difficult year. I had originally included my 14 yo granddaughter on the list but received a gift myself yesterday from my boss that I will re-gift to her so that she has something.
Here are the boys list:

Hello,
I wrote to the Blogess about my JGM wish, which is to keep a roof over my children’s heads since my family is facing foreclosure due to a really bed year for me, medically. My wish was that she would share my GoFundMe link but she explained that she is frequently asked to share links and because she can’t share all of them, to share one wouldn’t be fair to the others. And I totally understand that. She recommended I try posting my wish lists for my kids, so I am doing that here. It might be too late at this point but I am giving it a shot, all I can do is hope. Normally I participate myself in buying but this year I am needing a hand, if anyone is willing to help.
And if anyone would be willing to share my GoFundMe link, I would be ever so grateful. My wish is simply to continue having a home for my family to even have Christmas in. (https://www.gofundme.com/t4fhcf-help-save-us-from-foreclosure)
You all are some beautiful, kind souls out there. Thank you for restoring faith for so many people.
OK that’s so tough, love. I’ve been homeless before and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I hope you get the help you need.
Lisa – 3183 – Thank you for your post to help those who are worrying about Christmas.
Some of the wishlists may not get fulfilled and wanted to share below in case it helps anyone….
There are lots of ways to celebrate Christmas. I trade toys, books, games, clothes etc. with my sister and friends that our kids have outgrown, etc. and it’s just as exciting for the kids when they open them. Brand name food or the cereal they have always wanted has even been wrapped up as a special treat in their stocking since we usually get the store brand.
One of the best gifts I received was a letter from my father. He passed away 7 years ago and I have that letter to remind me of his love and support. Write a letter to your kids or start a journal with a notebook together where you ask them questions and they answer them each night or you answer. Start with some of your favorite memories of them. Mine love to read about funny things they did when they were little or funny things me and my brother and sister did when we were growing up. Give your kids a small gift card to go on a lunch date with just you or a play date at the park! Time is a perfect gift!
Emily! Thank you and your husband so much!!! I wasn’t expecting them to have anything, and you added extra stuff for my little guy? You both are so generous and kind! Thank you both for being so awesome! I can add some small stuff, if your husband insists, but please don’t feel obligated or anything, I don’t want to feel like I’m being greedy. What you have done already is so amazing, thank you, thank you! 🙂
Thank you so much again to anyone that purchased items from my girls lists. I am so thankful and grateful! I had to return the Paw Patrol hoodie and the hat and gloves set due to sizing. I’m not sure how returns work on a gift list, so if you show a refund, that is why. Thanks again!

I was scrolling through and noticed that there is a woman named Ena who posted that her sister was murdered, and she is raising her 3 kids, as well as her own. Post #3016 Her list appears to be untouched if there are any angels still looking to help.
I posted in the wee hours, so I want to post again just in case it was overlooked(3162)
I’m a single mom of two kids (7 year old boy, 18 month old girl). As Christmas gets closer, I find myself wondering how I can get my kids something awesome. Especially the 7 year old. Here is my list. I hope there are still some Christmas elves left to help. You guys are amazing.

Mac (post #2810),
I’ve created an account so my posting name has changed, but I’m Alisha from post #2712.
Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know a couple of reinbear were lumbering up the road this morning with the Overwatch calendar and Patricia Briggs book.
I am still a tad overwhelmed with the generosity here on this blog. To say I’m appreciative would be an understatement.
So, thank you very much! After all, it’s not everyday you see reinbears, from Australia, here in beautiful, sunny, Southern California.
I think they like it here. 😜
Christmas Ideas, Thanks so much for adding to my thoughts and the reminder that there are many ways to create wonderful holiday memories without money—I love your ideas for no-money-needed ways to celebrate!
Thank you so much, Margaret at #3194. That was so very kind of you. I’ll bet reading all the facts in that book and playing with the cars will keep them busy and happy for a long time!
I just double checked the list and there are only (2) items left out of the (5) they asked for. What remains is a (toy) binocular set for the 8 year old and walkie talkies that they would have so much fun annoying Mom and Dad with! (haha)

Sue #3169 – both coats, 2 trolls and a Lion King set on the way. Merry Christmas!!!
Original Post 3096 – I’m just re-posting in hopes that someone can help my friends. They are struggling just to keep basic necessities in the house right now. I did not tell their whole sordid tale as it is not mine to tell, but I will say that our community here has really pulled together to bring them care packages of toilet paper and soap. The basics. So when I made the list for their 13 year old daughter (Brianna), I only put the things she really enjoys on it. I thought a gift card for Chris and Melissa would be best so they could get some of those necessities or take advantage of the prime pantry. This event has helped me and my family in the past when we couldn’t afford gifts for our little ones. Although we are able to buy presents for our own children this year, it is a very near thing. The best way I could pay it forward this year was to try and help another friend in need. Thank you to everyone here. This thread is real life miracles. I just want to see this family smile a little this Christmas.

I’m hoping there’s still someone out there that can help me with something. A kind person here was generous enough to purchase a pair of boots for my oldest. I looked them over last night and realize now I picked out a size too small. I don’t know who purchased them for us so I can’t see if they can try and return them for me and purchase another pair in his size. The boots that were bought for him don’t even go up to the size he need so, I now have to return these boots so the sender gets their money back but that will leave him with no boots. There’s a pair below that I know will fit him if anyone is able to get them. It’s not the biggest deal but he did ask for boots and thanks to me buying the wrong size I may have messed that up for him and I feel awful about it. 😰

Hi. My original post was #3193. I wanted to add some information on my situation. I am the mom of 4 amazing kiddos. This year has been a mess for us personally and financially. Their dad and I are going through a divorce right now and everything is just really uncertain at the moment. I prepared them for the idea that Christmas wouldn’t be much this year. I would love to be able to do something for them and put smiles on their faces. Thank you for reading this and considering our family
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3M9DRX13H2OL1
I originally posted the list with both my kids things on one list on the 13th. A kid woman commented & contacted me about something she had for my son. But I have checked & my original post is gone, and I still have things in there for my 6 yr old daughter as well as my sons stuff.
I’m hoping someone is kind enough to help us out this year as I currently only get paid to be my daughters PCA, she has Down syndrome, and I recently filed for divorice. I don’t have much money because my soon to be Ex has emptied the joint checking account & cancled all my credit cards. I have 3 children, a 29 yr old at college, a 14 yr old & 6 yr old I’m trying to support on next to nothing, and hoping my Assistance & child support start soon.
Again my list is for both kids.
Thank you to anyone who is kind enough to get them some things.

Hello, beautiful souls. And Merry Christmas 🙂
I have a basic Christmas covered for my own two kids – I shop deals throughout the year in preparation, and I also donate toys and handmade gifts to as many kids/families in need as I can. My funds are running low, and I still have a few more children to buy toys for. However, I was hoping to get some help with supplies for making gifts. I am a Santa for a few kiddos on reddit, and some locally, in addition to my own friends and family, but I also like to include local nursing home residents in my holiday rounds. If anybody is able to pitch in and help me get some supplies, I could offer many more gifts to kids, families, and elderly folks!
Examples of the things I make for gifts are:
Fleece tie blankets (for adults and children)
Handmade baby blankets with fleece/flannel
Matching pillows
Dresses for little girls
Candles
Soaps
Lip balms
Body scrubs
Stuffed toys
Knitted hats
Handmade ornaments
Handmade figurines
Homemade cookies
Homemade dessert breads (banana/zucchini)
Chocolate covered pretzels
Anything else within my skill set that I can think of
I would really appreciate any help anybody is able to give. I love being able to help others and this would help me help even more people. Especially the elderly in nursing homes as I know this is a very lonely time of year for some of them and I like to take my kids in and bring them some joy for a little bit, and obviously some gifts! 🙂
Thank you all so much for reading! ❤

Hi
I am in need of support. This year has been very overwhelming for me. In September I filed for divorce after 15 1/2 years of and emotional, mental and financially abusive marriage, then on October 11th my Mother suffered a heart attack and stroke. I’m a full time working mother in school, (trying to stay a float), I have a 9 year old beautiful daughter in 3rd grade and a son in college (I’m proud of him), I prep my mothers meals weekly, and it’s been a roller coaster. Due to it all, my finances have taken a complete hit. I love check by check in the negative. However, I’m in therapy (with insurance) and will continue with the divorce. This has had a negative effect on my daughter, however my focus daily is to keep her at peace and happy. I want to begin to live again and give my daughter a new start. She’s super excited about putting up the tree this weekend. I don’t have any way to get my baby girl any gifts for Christmas. I usually am the one giving but this time I’m in need of help.
Thank you and God Bless.

HI Trisha, # 2325 and 3094, I went back to try and order things again. Everything was fine until I got to the expected delivery date, and then it told me that some items were out of stock, or wouldn’t arrive until after Christmas, even with prime shipping. Of the things that could get there, they should arrive by the 21st.
Hi, I would like to ask for help with clothing for 4 and 12 year old boys. I spent this week sick with the flu and the money set aside for clothing for the 4 year old boy and clothing and shoes for my other boy, went towards feeding the kids because I could barely get out of the bed. We get public assistance for 5 and I’m grateful that it came when it did. The food benefit is mostly untouched but the money is mostly gone. Feeling a little better but stressed about something else as usual lol. If you can help, here’s the list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
Originally posted in the beginning, #543 I think, first, thank you so much to those that helped. Items arrived this week and I’m looking forward to seeing my older daughters face, my younger daughter will probably just enjoy the crinkles of paper and not completely understand what is going on. There are 5 things I’m hoping that can possibly still be sent to complete their Christmas. My 8 year old just has a book left, there was socks and a pair of jeans left, but I removed them because of gift cards we’ve gotten in the mail from family members already for Christmas I was able to get her some more jeans. My youngest, is just shy of 3 months old, that’ll be on Christmas Day, there’s 4 things left, 1 is wanted more than the headband set and 2 outfits. It’s a whale that she can use during tummy time and look at it, push things around and develop more skills. I know there are others on here who need help more than us. We have only a single income, and until my back is back to normal, I’ve been having issues with it after our little girl was born, I’m unable to work to help out. I’m in physical therapy now to try and get it under control and hopefully normal again, but it’s not a guarantee it’ll fix the problem. I’m not going to beg, nor do I want those who have been amazing in helping families think I’m trying to play the system. I’m just hoping to provide my girls the best I can and trying not to put too much onto my boyfriend for getting them more things that aren’t necessities. If just the book and whale are bought, I’ll be just as happy.
Thank you again to all the wonderful angels helping, and merry Christmas to all here. I hope your holidays are filled with happiness and the new year brings you good health and joy.

Searching for a Christmas miracle for my 4 children. I’m a single mom to 4 beautiful children I recently had an unexpected surgery on my foot and will be out of work. My next pay check has to go to rent and bills. There’s 2 things on this list for each child. Hoping someone can help us so my babies have something under the tree.
Wendy, #3142 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of you, Santa will be around for another season. I can’t thank you enough. I hope that you and yours have the best Christmas ever. from Cynthia #2481/2585/3142

Hi, I’m not sure if it is too late, but a coworker told me about this. I’m a single mom of a 5 year old girl, and earlier this year, I got legal guardianship of my 11 year old sister.
I am working, but money is so tight. I could really use some help making sure these little girls have a great Christmas. They are my world, and I just want to see them smile. Thank you so much everyone, and Merry Christmas.

Jenny – you are an angel for using your platform to make Christmas brighter for so many.
Jenny’s helpful elves – you are a reminder that the world is still full of good people.
Explained to my husband to not open any Amazon packages in front of my daughter. He asked why not and I said “Because kind people still exist!” Cheers to all!

I posted this before but I was worried it got lost in the shuffle.
My neighbor told me about this but she said it might be too late but I guess it doesn’t hurt to try. I have four kids. I am recently separated from my husband after finding out he had an ongoing affair with a coworker and am moving back in with my mom until we can get back on our feet. She’s on disability herself and doesn’t have much herself but it doing what she can to help us. I am using any money I have to move and there isn’t a lot left for Christmas this year. My kids are amazing and I want them to have a great holiday after a hard year and now having pretty much no contact with their dad (his choice, not mine). My oldest is my baker and my reader. Her dream would be to go into a bookstore and buy every book she wanted. My second oldest is my old soul. He loves playing cards and board games. The second youngest is my artist. She is constantly finding ways to make beautiful things and the baby is my water baby. He loves to swim and be in the bath tub. Any little thing helps. Thank you.

I wanted to repost ( original post #2092/2093) just in case there are any elves still wanting to help. I am so grateful for what I have received so far. My daughter still has a coat and pajamas on her list ( I updated her pajamas because the others were unavailable), Jaime only has a pair of pants on his list. I updated Michael and Alex’s lists to include a couple of things they would like and took off the gift cards (it is hard to find gifts for teens)

I’m a single mom of 6 and I’m stressing my son is in heart failure and I’m trying to do the best I can and make my kids smile this Christmas. No one knows when my son’s last day will be.
I hate asking for help but we lost our home in Aug to flooding.
I just want too see all my baby’s have a great Christmas.
This is my last hope for that as I don’t even have one gift to out under the tree.
Dear lord I’m praying for a Christmas miracle.

#3136 here and I just wanted to say thank you to whoever helped me in helping the family I posted about that had just got out of the battered women’s shelter. I called today to tell her that each of the kids have a pillow and box of shrinky dinks coming so they didn’t get a duplicate toy and she said “you don’t have to worry about that, they weren’t going to have anything at all so you’ve just given them a Christmas”. I am so happy and thankful for this page! I’m grateful for the help for my boys but even more thankful for the help for this other little family! You guys are amazing!!! I received a Christmas card in the mail today with a $50 gift card for Kroger so I’m heading there to get stockings stuff for my kids and hers so they will have that also. I appreciate you all so much!!!!!

Still Praying Any extra reindeer, elves or penguin friends available to help my little brother and sister?!
Reposting for my Mother, Tina Olson
My mother and 2 siblings moved across the country with us in May this year to make a new start, which is always difficult starting over. She is a single mom taking care of my 14 year old brother AJ. He has Aspergers, ADHD, among other emotionally crippling issues stemming from past experiences and emotionally damaging situations that we are working on learning to cope with. She also cares for my beautiful 16 year old sister, Emma. Recently, my mom was let go from her job for “not being able to keep up.” This is mainly due to some cognitive impairment issues she now faces after a major concussion/TBI she suffered last year. We were lucky to find her another job, but it is in a factory working very long hours 6 days a week. The lapse between work put her even further behind then what she was, and she is struggling to make the house payment, and simply won’t be able to provide any presents for my siblings this year. Many years in the past I have stepped up for birthdays and holidays and bought presents for them and put my mom’s name on them for her, but this year I’m simply not in the position too. If there are any extra elves or reindeer available to help my brother and sister, I’ll pay it forward two fold next year, for helping not only them, but my 2 children y’all have helped this year as well. I have attached a small list for Emma and AJ, it includes some pajamas (a Christmas eve tradition in our family) Emma loves make-up and anything foxen, and AJ is growing up way to fast for me! And could really use an electric razor. Thank you all so much in advance.

A GRINCH HAS STOLEN MY DAUGHTER’S CHRISTMAS!!!!
We received an empty/tampered with bubble-mailer. The only thing it contained was the packing list. A Charlie Brown Christmas bluray and Uno the card game were what was on it.
Amazon will resend it, but they want to speak to the person who purchased it not the recipient of the gift. PLEASE HELP!!!!
I feel bad some one spent their money on us and it was in vain.

I’m hoping there’s still someone out there that can help me with something. A kind person here was generous enough to purchase a pair of boots for my oldest. I looked them over last night and realize now I picked out a size too small. I don’t know who purchased them for us so I can’t see if they can try and return them for me and purchase another pair in his size. The boots that were bought for him don’t even go up to the size he need so, I now have to return these boots so the sender gets their money back but that will leave him with no boots. There’s a pair below that I know will fit him if anyone is able to get them. It’s not the biggest deal but he did ask for boots and thanks to me buying the wrong size I may have messed that up for him and I feel awful about it. 😰

Brie Clark (post 3086) – your wishlist is fulfilled! Your daughter sounds like an inquisitive and amazing kid – I hope she loves what Santa brings her!. Amazon says all 3 items should arrive on Sunday the 17th.) OH MY GOD!!! Thank you sooo much!!! I am absolutely blown away by this generosity!!! My kiddo is going to love her presents! You know, it’s just kindnesses like this that makes me know I can keep going. Our days haven’t gotten any easier but knowing kindhearted people are out there makes all the difference. This is the spirit of the holiday, I hope you have an amazing holiday!! Oh ok, now I gotta go find out who’s chopping all those onions…. 🙂
This whole thing is pretty amazing! I bought a couple tiny items for others, it’s not much, but every little bit helps, right? I’m going to do my best to put aside some money each month this coming year and hope that this happens next year (or something similar) because it is really touching to see everyone helping each other and I want to be able to do the same next year!
I’d like to help a family close to me but just don’t have the funds to do it myself this year. Molly is 15 but has an intellectual disability that makes her more childlike in her actions. She loves art and animals so I added some new crayons and markers as well as a coat and gloves/mittens to her list. Louis just turned 14 and loves science and is very creative. He’s pretty quiet and doesn’t talk much, but I think he’d really enjoy Legos. He has a coat he got second-hand that is in good condition, so I added some gloves and a hat as well as a blanket and some lounge pants (he wears them around the house, not just as pajamas). I know I’m a little late to this whole thing, so if only a few things can be bought, that is okay, but try to make it even for each kid if possible?

Jenny and all of the elves are amazing. I am already excited about giving back next year… Only a few more months and I will be a RN… Plenty of time to get on my feet and save up to send out some reindeer of my own.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Trish #3163 I bought one of the books on your list <3
Full disclosure everyone, Trish is someone I’ve known for over a decade and I had to seriously talk her into posting here because I know but they are struggling this year, and she has never been any good at asking for help. But even though they’re having a tough time, this crazy girl spent $20 last week on my boys because she said she wanted to make sure they got what they needed. She is so generous and so amazing and her kids are awesome and she deserves the world. I would absolutely love to see her list get cleared, if there are still some angels and elves and reindeers running around <3

Apparently, Santa had some shipping troubles. The socks I ordered for two young ones were sent to the wrong carrier facility. (They were going to Calif. I think Santa’s GPS was malfunctioning on the sleigh.) I’ll try to figure out when they’ll be delivered…
Lesley (#1417), I think Santa’s shipping troubles were for your little ones. It looks like Santa has been riding around with the package for a few days! Let me know if you want me to cancel and reorder.
Just in case I had gotten overlooked this is a repost! Also, If I did it wrong please let me know.
Hello, name is Monique and I have 4 kids, Lexi(14), Paige(12), Chase(10) and Tyler(7). A friend of the family had made me aware of this beautiful page. Before my comment I had read a lot of the comments and I must say Karen you are a sweetheart! We’re going through a rough time right now and not just financially but emotionally. There was a 19 year old trying to talk to my 14 year old for reasons I would rather not even discuss but I’m sure you guys understand what he was trying to do and I made him stop so he got mad and killed our Great Dane and German Shepherd out of pure hate. Broke my children’s heart. It tears me apart I can barely afford rent and food as a single mother and barely able to make ends meet but to see them just crushed because their dogs are dead and I really hate having to add to that depression with a Christmas without any gifts. This would seriously make my world and theirs. I have done a list for each child separate so it wouldn’t be confusing for what gift was what. Thank you so much!!!

Originally 2705, I just found out the link does not work. http://a.co/82KDCEh this is the list link.
Monique (3241) added a dinosaur book for Chase, I love dinosaurs and hope he enjoys it. 🙂 I wish I could get something for each of them. So sorry to hear about your dogs, that is horrible!
PS: The makeup kit on Lexi’s list is from a third party seller, I think, so can’t be sent to a wishlist address, you might want to swap it for something that has Prime shipping.

For a single Dad of 4 girls.
The list is on my oldest Granddaughter’s Amazon, as I do not have one. I am not sure if it would matter. Original Comment 2705. Updated link 3244.
Cheryl, I’m out of money, but your link works fine now for me 🙂
Hi Anonymous from comment 3227! I bought the walkie talkies for your kiddo from the list you made!
I am so thankful of everyone who sent gifts. I really can’t thank people enough. I wish I was able to receive everything that people bought, but it seems like it is not meant to be. I hope everyone got their money back for the items that never reached me. And I am grateful for what I have to gift on Christmas to my girl when otherwise I would have nothing. So for that, it is a miracle! The elves here are amazing!
Cheryl – I’m so glad you re-posted with a working link! You have presents on the way, arriving Monday and Tuesday! I hope there are a few more folks that can get a couple more items. Merry Christmas!
My wife and I are struggling this year. I haven’t been able to work due to medical issues, and her job at the Red Cross is our only income. Please help if you can.

Cassandra Hale, post 2290, there is something on the way for each of your kids. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! i dontbwabt to sound like in begin, but this has been an extremely bad year for me and my family. My husband and I divorced about 7 months ago and he decided not to be apart of the family all together. My 7 year old is specifically having a hard time with this. Before we split, I was a stay at home mom, but I have a job now. It’s not much, but it help pay the bills. I desperately wed assistance with gifts this year. Especially for the big guy since he is looking forward to going dtw under the tree. Gifts for the 18 months nth old would be great too, but she doesn’t quite understand yet so I’m not worrying. The high priority item forbher is the snowsuit. We’re in Michigan and it’s cold! Enough of my rambling. I was irigibalkynpost# 3162

I cant find my original post, but I wanted to say thank you to whoever bought my grandson the Rubiks cube on his list. He will love it. I wen back on his list and removed two items, (One said they were out of stock after being on his list a few days) and the other was not on prime and it looked like a huge list to find a buyer for that item. I hope someone finds it in their heart to give to him, as his mom just lost her job and likely wont be working til after the new year. Again, thanks to the one person.
Hi! Trish from original post 3163, I would like to thank Amber Wiseman for the book for my daughter! It’s one she’s been asking about for a while now, thank you so much! And Dawn Hanson for the book for my son, you are a great friend! I’ll send you some Christmas pics , I know he will enjoy it:) I appreciate everything. I have two 12 year olds a boy and a girl, thank you all! Merry Christmas. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/LD7U6S347HK8
First let me introduce myself…. my name is Jamie and I’m a COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!! I have 2 kids (18 month old daughter and 11 year old son). I’m poor folk like most of the country nowadays but actually put on my big girl panties and registered for our local toy drive. Great right? WRONG! Pickup was yesterday and I show up with my slip of paper but couldn’t get the toys because I’ve lost my license and they will not let you get anything without them. I spent an hour talking on the phone to people today and my only option is to go get a replacement ID but it has to be done by Monday because then everything else is donated. I obviously don’t have funds to just run out and get a new ID or I probably wouldn’t have been there for toys in the first place lol. Anyway, I’m sure I’m WAY too late but a friend recommended I give this a try so if there’s any holiday cheer left my bay bays and I would be forever grateful. I hope anyone reading this doesn’t think I’m a total bitch, I’m really just trying to find some humor in my situation and sarcasm is how I deal with stress (p.s. I don’t cuss in front of my kids, only online to thousands of blog followers). Thanks in advance if there’s any giving left to be given!

Reposting because we really need a miracle I have 4 amazing kids I’m a single mother going through a rough divorce and after an unexpected surgery on my foot I am out of work. I get one more pay check and it has to go towards bills and rent. I would love to have at least one gift for each of them. They have been my rocks with everything I’ve been going through..
Hello,
I recently left my daughters’ father and had to move back home with my parents. I am working and saving so that we can get back on our feet, but right now Christmas is looking unmanageable. My girls are Amelia (12) and Nora (9). They are great kids who really deserve so much more than I can give them. I would really love any help to get them some presents for under the tree. Thank you all so much for everything you do.

Thank you so much to whoever bought those 2 jackets! Yesterday I lowered the price of everything to between 5-12$ and the 2 items that get bought were the 15$ and 25$ jackets lol. I checked everywhere on Amazon to see if I could find out who bought the items on the wishlist to thank them but I don’t think that’s possible so if you’re one of the people let me know at mrwumbo @ yahoo dot com and I’ll pass it on to Tanika unless you want to remain anonymous and that’s cool too.

Don’t know if I’m late. But I was really hoping there was still a Santa out there willing to gift my daughter a pack n play.
Good morning and thank you to all the Santa’s helpers who bought my children a couple things. I thought I would share my post again just in case someone wanted to get one or two more items for my kids. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and have a Merry Christmas!

Good Saturday morning everyone. Just wanted to take a minute before I start my chores to say thank you for the toy binoculars some kind soul gifted my eight year old grandson. He will be over the moon to have them as he just loves being outside in nature. The only item left for the boys on my list is a walkie-talkie set for them to share.

Jamie #3258. Slippers, book/madlibs and binocs on the way! Very Merry Christmas to you and your kids! (you are not an idiot 😉 )
So our list was completely fulfilled by some awesome people on here. I thought I would share a story of something that just happened so you can see what kind of kids you helped-
My sweet 7 year old boy.
Last night I had one of those really high fevers where it makes you feel like you’re freezing to death and you can’t get warm. Was able to break in a little bit with some Tylenol but then I was having hot and cold flashes and sweating like crazy. This morning I’m still sweating it out and have some pretty severe body pain. I told Tariq we’re going to a Christmas party today and he said no Mom, you’re sick, you need to stay home. I’m like no dude, I’m not going to have you miss out on Christmas fun. He’s like you just need to lay down and let me take care of you. Then he offered to get me coffee and started straightening up the livingroom.
I am so very blessed to have the kiddos I have <3 and now that they are all set for Christmas, a friend of mine that I talked into posting still needs her list fulfilled- it’s mostly books, her kiddos love reading, and a few clothing items <3 she’s Trish from 3163 and her list is
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/LD7U6S347HK8
So many people are struggling, and this Blog has helped so many wishes come true 🙂 I love it! I hope to be able to be one of the big donors next year.
Margaret,
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate that more than you can imagine! Although, I’m still sporting the idiot status lol!
Hi guys ive got 2 things im wondering if anyone could help me with the 1st 2 things purchased on my list havent arrived yet although all the others have arrived, i know some things take longer than others but im getting a tad worried now so if anyone bought GIRLS SIZE 1 FUR BOOTS AND 4 PACK PAW PATROL PUZZLE could you see if it has any tracking on it please? Thank you
Second i need to ask jenny or anyone else who could assist me my list was fulfilled which was amazing but i was wondering of i was allowed to do a list for my sister in law who is 13? They are getting made homeless in january and my mil is really struggling at the moment so i thought i would ask if this was ok before making a list and posting it. My mil doesnt have internet at the moment as it has been cut off so i thought itd be nice to do this for her. If anyone could let me know that would be great.
Thank you xx
Message here for giftees your packages were delivered – using Amazon names because I forget which post was which: Kelly Sch. (check your front door or porch and mailbox), K.D. (Inside mailbox), Jaclyn B. (near the front door or porch, in the mailbox, the other just says “delivered”), Kristi Sti. (inside mailbox), Julie Fle. (delivered / “in your mailbox or wherever you typically get mail”).
SadieLu – good and bad news. Most were delivered “near the front door or porch” The boys pajamas package is being returned to Amazon for some reason, and I can’t find your list again. I hope you enjoy the other items though.
Hey Jenny, I’m accessing this from my phone, what do I do to sign up to subscribe to your blog?
3227 – gifts are on their way.
Anonymous at 3272, thank you for letting me know about the pajamas. It’s been driving me crazy. One day I got notification that a few boxes were delivered and one said it was delivered never actually came to my porch and it’s been driving me crazy what happened to it.
I have added the missing pajamas that were returned to Amazon back to the list, in the hopes that someone can send them to the little man. Thank you so much.

Hi Jenny, Thanks for doing this for the past several years. I’ve participated several times and it always feels great to give gifts to children. This year I think I filled or contributed to 8 lists.
I noticed a lot of people reposting because their lists were not filled, and I’ve been going through trying to see if I can help further. Based on what I’m seeing, I have a suggestion for wish-list makers in the future, and I hope it helps: for each gift, add a comment explaining who it is for. If there is more than one child, having the names breakdown (or separate lists for each child) helps me make sure that at least one child gets a present from Santa. I’d hate to think that I bought 3 gifts for one child and none for the other 2, just in case no one else clicks on that link, so I always try to distribute. I also second Jenny’s suggestion of keeping the list limited to a few gifts for each child, and keep it under $40 for each child. Frankly if the list is very long, unless there is a breakdown per child and the person is asking for a reasonable amount per child, i will skip the list. I hope this helps future posters – and this is truly offered in the ‘Elf’ spirit of trying to make sure the most lists are filled, in case any other Elves think like me. And for the elves, note that you can use “filter” to see what has already been purchased.
Alis #2254 – some things coming your way. Lisa P./Sadielu – great timing, i just reordered. Same thing happened with one of my own packages the other day, it mysterious was not delivered and returned to sender despite the fact that other boxes came through just fine. Hope it works this time.

Vanessa 2937, I see only one out of two toys for your 5-yo had been purchased. The other one is on its way!
Hopeful #2944 – gifts on their way, unfortunately lego batman might not arrive until after xmas.
I told myself I would only post once, but it seems my list may havr been overlooked amongst all Christmas Spirit and only 1 gift has been purchased. I have 3 other kids with presents on Christmas morning.
Thank you to the elf that is sending Jenny’s book. If there are any elves left, please help a desperate Mommy out. I have noted names next to each item. Thank you for making this possible Jenny and to all the elves you have inspired.

Can you post for more than one child?
3286 — I got something for each of your kids. Are you sure there’s not a toy Lilly would like?
Linda, 3162, boots on the way for your boy! The snowsuit can’t be shipped to a gift address, so maybe try picking another one.
Sorry — I meant 3285
I got something for each of your kids. Are you sure there’s not a toy Lilly would like?
Anonymous 3289,
I listed things that were directly related to her Santa request this year. It does seem odd, and I cried when I heard her ask Santa. I thought for sure she would ask for a boy baby doll as she has been wanting one for awhile. She has been feeling out of place in school and really wants to fit in with her peers. it was a bitter sweet momment for me. Proud that she was asking for something to improve herself, yet sad that she didn’t request the doll her heart desires.
Thank you so much for your help. My anxiety level has dropped knowing that my children will each have a present to open on Christmas Morning and will still believe in Santa.
Post #3274, thank you so much!!! His entire wish list was fulfilled. Im in tears. He will love the fishing pole, the jelly beans, the cards, everything!! Wow. All i can say is thank you!
Hi guys i did post earlier asking if its ok not had a reply yet i will post anyway as time is getting on but PLEASE PLEASE let me know if its not ok and i will delete everythinf i dont want to upset anyone. My list for my children/neice/nephew has been fulfilled so thank you everyone for your help to make that happen. I was wondering if anyone is still gifting im posting for my sister in law who is 13. They are being made homeless in january so this christmas is their last in their home. My mil hasnt got internet as it has been cut so im posting on her behalf she probably wouldnt know how to do this anyway lol! She is struggling at the moment trying to put a brave face on but deep down i know shes petrified of losing her home and about christmas. I have made a list of what i know she has asked for or is in need off so if anyone is able to help at all they would really appriciate it and to try make her last christmas in their currant home special (they dont have a new place lined up yet).
Big thank you to anyone and everyone previously helped.

Is there an elf out there who can purchase at least one gift for each of my children? I posted previously. I have two kids. A 7 year old boy and a 18 month old girl. My son is specifically having a hard time because my husband and I divorced about 7 months ago and he also decided that he didn’t want to have anything to do with the family. So I’m on my own this Christmas. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks so much. Happy Holidays!

Posting again hoping someone will help my 4 kids at least have a present or two to open. Going through a rough divorce and had unexpected surgery taking me out of work. My last paycheck was just enough to pay rent and bills.
Hi. I’m hoping I’m not to late. I’m trying to get Christmas for my daughter Jessica. She’s 3. She loves Minnie mouse, princesses and arts and crafts. I put a couple things on her wishlist but she will love anything. It’s been a tough year for us and I’m just finally starting to get back on my feet. Even if we don’t find help, thank you all for what you do. http://a.co/ajtMaMl
#3258 here. Can’t believe how fast goes out of stock on amazon! I switched the babies stuff out for things that are still prime available. Margaret already took care of my older turd (thank you so much again!!!) so I’m reposting with the edited version. If you want to read my idiot story it’s just a little ways up the page. Margaret said I’m not but I’m pretty sure the shoe still fits lol. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help with the wish list for my 18 month old!!!!!!

Hi There Mama in posting #3294! Santa is sending some presents along to you! He likes to use a little more technology these days and Amazon helps him out by sending packages. He asked me to pass along the message to you and your kiddos!
(p.s. I’m a grown person and still have to endure my mother telling me that if you don’t believe in Santa, then you don’t get any presents…)
Hi! Trish here from original post #3163 I took the advice of ANONYMOUS and added a comment to each gift on my kids wishlist to further explain the meaning and the child behind each gift-thank you for that advice:) if there are any magical elves interested, I have a boy and a girl, both 12 please check out their list-. I am humbled and so grateful for this amazing blog and opportunity to make Christmas happen even though I am out of work for the first time in many years, this blog has given me hope💕 Merry Christmas to all!Hi.

Hi Linda #3293 – Santa asked me to let you know that he likes to use Amazon to help send some packages – and there are some toys on the way! Unfortunately, the puffy outfit will not ship to a gift registry address and may need to be re-posted.
Merry Christmas!
Dear Beutiful Person reading this,
I just learned of this amazing page a few days ago, so I realize I’m cutting it close, but it can’t hurt to try 😊
My long story short is this:
Eight years ago, my husband, our oldest son and I moved from Florida (my lifelong home) to upstate N.Y. (his lifelong home). About a year later, I knew that I didn’t like it here, but my husband wouldn’t leave N.Y., so I just bit the bullet and tried to make the best of it. Unfortunately, two and a half years ago my husband and I split up. When he left, so did all of the friends and family. I’ve been struggling ever since. I’m a single mom, basically stranded in upstate N.Y., far from friends, family and support. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 10 years and having no help or support here has made it impossible to find a job that will accommodate my limited availability. I can only be available Monday-Friday from 8am-6:30pm because I have no one to help watch my kids. I have plans to move closer to my family in the summer, but for now, we live a very day-to-day life. If it weren’t for my oldest son’s SSI, I don’t know how we would survive. My ex (their dad) has only recently started working again, and child support hasn’t kicked in yet. Once it does, I think we’ll be ok (better), but Christmas is going to be bare without help. I’ve been in panic mode.
I followed the rules for my Wish List as closely as possible. I think I went like 41 cents over on the clothes (which they need), but I stayed under on the toys. I also picked almost all Prime items. I’ll be happy with anything that anyone is generous enough to buy for my boys. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤
Sincerely,
Joy

Reposting again to see if anyone can help my baby girl. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3O4YJXWRMIBC8 Hello I’m a newly single mother, this is for my daughter it’s a little over the limit but she don’t need clothes or toys. My preemie little girl has colic real bad. Her swing was the only thing that helped her get some relief. I can’t afford a new one right now as funds are going towards bills. Hoping someone would help us out so she can get some relief and sleep. God bless.
Dear Trish at #3298 – Santa wanted you to know that there are books and clothes being shipped by Amazon (reindeer put together shitty packages). One of the hoodies won’t be available until mid-late January, so if you pick a different one, that would work better.
Once your 12 year old is done reading Fartacus PLEASE feel free to send it on to me, because that book sounds HILARIOUS (and I apparently have the sense of humor of a 12 year old).
Merry Christmas!
Humble and gracious post 3113 / 3285
That breaks my heart a little too. Kids are mean sometimes.
But it’s Santa’s job to know the wishes of her heart, so us elves can make it happen — can you add a baby boy doll you think she would like to your list and I will send it too?
Molly is 15 but has an intellectual disability that makes her more childlike in her actions. She loves art and animals so I added some new crayons and markers as well as gloves and mittens to her list. Louis just turned 14 and loves science and is very creative. He’s pretty quiet and doesn’t talk much, but I think he’d really enjoy Legos. He has a coat he got second-hand that is in good condition, some lounge pants (he wears them around the house, not just as pajamas). I know I’m a little late to this whole thing, but would love to be able to put a little something under their tree this year.

Someone started this hopefully someone can get the last few thing. I’m Reposting this for my sister her son was born premature at 33 weeks. She has to take him several times a week/month to a children’s hospital for specialty appointments. My beautiful nephew and niece deserve a Christmas. They are the best kids.
Emily- just got home to the science kit, the Michael Jordan book, the colored pencils, and thank you so much for the card games! It’s so crazy because my seven-year-old has just discovered card games and he is in love with them. And, Uno has always been our family’s favorite game. How could you possibly have known? You are so amazing 🙂
Hi guys i hope im not to late to get a James Garfield miracle for my twin girls Josie and Sadie. We have had a really tough year their dad had an accident at work and was laid up for a couple of months putting us behind on everything. He is back to work now, but playing catch up on all the bills has really put Christmas on the back burner and they are right at the prime Santa age.
Josie is my lil wild child, tom boy who loves arts and crafts, Sadie is more of a girly girl who loves playing with makeup and dolls.
I made a list for them here http://a.co/ev5QpF9
Oh my goodness!!! Mary!!!! How do I even begin to thank you??? I can’t believe it. You are an ANGEL! Thank you for the heads up on the sweater, I went ahead and switched it out with another one, it’s not flashy but it will still keep him warm. Of course we will send you “Farticus” lmfao! Please let me know your email-so we can send you some pictures of their Christmas morning along with the book. Omg-Mary you are an amazing person. Trish-original post 3163🙌🏼
Anonymous,
You are amazing. I have tears of joy. The selection for boy dolls is limited. I added 2 that have cute faces but couldn’t tell if they had the open close eyes. Whichever one you pick will be perfect and I will delete the other. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. She will be so surprised, and will know that Santa knows what is in your heart.
I only wish there was some way I could thank you personally. You have saved Christmas for my family. Especially my lilly.
Mary #3299 omg thank you soooo much! I am so grateful.
I updated my list with a replacement. It’s sold and shipped by Amazon.

The doll should be there on Monday — the one I picked had open close eyes. I also sent along some books that are easier for dyslexic kids to read so Lilly would have something to practice with. (Sorry — I’m a former library story lady — I love helping kids read, so I couldn’t resist.)
I hope she (and all of you) have a wonderful Christmas. Playing elf is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas, and I’m not getting to celebrate it myself this year, so I’m really missing it. Thank you for giving me the chance to help.
Hello, I posted last night but I think it got buried because I posted late at night.
I am looking for a Christmas miracle for my two daughters, Amelia (12) and Nora (9). Santa, if you are out there, please visit my two wonderful little girls. It isn’t their fault that I cannot afford gifts this year. They are my world.
I recently left my daughters’ father and had to move back home with my parents. I am working and saving so that we can get back on our feet, but right now Christmas is looking unmanageable. They are great kids who really deserve so much more than I can give them. I would really love any help to get them some presents for under the tree. Thank you all so much for everything you do. ♥

My original comment was I believe #537, but it was delayed in posting, and I believe my condensed version posted right away, and still back in the 400s. That said, the books, blankets, tote, and popcorn was all gifted to me for my parents and I am beyond thankful. I know the books will be a big hit (I’ve read one and the other sounds wonderful) the blankets are so soft and fluffy, and the tote/bin is super nice! I’ve once again been humbled by the generous spirit of so many in this often ugly world. I also sent thank yous through Amazon. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous at 3281 thank you so much for resending the pajamas he just loves doggies and will be over-the-moon excited with those sweet pajamas.
The walkie talkies are the only thing left on the two boys wish list for them to share. I would be so grateful if there’s even one Angel left to help with this last item.

Hi everyone! There is a post all the way back at 3016-a woman named Ena, I know her personally , last year her sister was murdered by her husband and rather than allow her nephews and niece to go to foster care Ena took them into her home-She would have it no other way,I know she would do the same for my kids as that’s just the kind of heart she has . So along with her sisters 3 kids Ena herself has 3 kids the youngest being just a year old and Enas fiance has a child as well, so suddenly they became a family of 9! In one year! They struggle as you can imagine. I’d like to share her wish list and if anybody out there would like to offer even just some kind words of encouragement we’d be so grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this-Merry Christmas http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI

I’m sorry you are missing out on Christmas festivities this year.
I would love to send you some Christmas cheer this year as a thank you for your selfless generosity. My email is TeslaAcademy at outlook.com It would mean so much if you would allow me to send you some cookies and home made crafts. I don’t have much but I do happen to have a whole roll of stamps so I can mail you my goodies for free.
Bridget loves to read and I often have to take her book away so she will sleep. I can’t count the number of times I have woken up in the middle of the night to find her still reading. I love to read when I have free time. (which is few and far between right now, but that is only temporary) soon I will be in a better place and have my degree.
Please check the order you placed.
I just went to delete the other doll from the wish list and neither one is showing as purchased. Please check the order as it does not appear to have gone through on my end.
I pray you will take me up on my offer to send you some Christmas.
Sorry for all the typos, it’s really hard to type on my phone. lol

Just wanted to add if your funding ran short and you weren’t able to send the doll. Please trust that I understand, but please reach out on my email as I still want to send you some Christmas cheer.
You truly deserve to know how much of difference you have made.
Humble and gracious post 3113 / 3285/ 3309
I’ve got a confirmation that the doll was ordered, but I see it’s still showing up on your list. That’s really weird. I sent in an email to Amazon support to ask what’s up.
Does any other elf around here know why it wouldn’t show up as bought?
Humble and gracious post 3113 / 3285/ 3309
If you refresh now, you will see it’s off the list. So we’re good, and it should be headed your way.

Hi,

Cece, #2308, I picked up the gloves and owl the other day. I checked back, and no one had gotten the baby clothes, or James’s gifts, so I finished the list. The paints and brushes are out of stock until the 19th, and are expected to be delivered the 22nd. Fingers crossed the reindeer don’t get lost on the way!
hoping there’s still someone out there that can help me with something. A kind person here was generous enough to purchase a pair of boots for my oldest. I looked them over last night and realize now I picked out a size too small. I don’t know who purchased them for us so I can’t see if they can try and return them for me and purchase another pair in his size. The boots that were bought for him don’t even go up to the size he need so, I now have to return these boots so the sender gets their money back but that will leave him with no boots. There’s a pair below that I know will fit him if anyone is able to get them. It’s not the biggest deal but he did ask for boots and thanks to me buying the wrong size I may have messed that up for him and I feel awful about it. 😰

#3258 here…. AGAIN and I’m about to throw a brick at amazon lol. Every time I find something prime for the little one and get it on the list it’s unavailable within an hour. I’ve updated again and if it happens again I quit😂. Everyone must be doing last minute shopping right this exact second. Here is my previous post with my link. I apologize I’ve had to post 3 times now, I don’t know why everything I pick for her seems to go off prime so quickly. Thanks again for any possible help, and I promise this is my last time!
I switched the babies stuff out for things that are still prime available. Margaret already took care of my older turd (thank you so much again!!!) so I’m reposting with the edited version. If you want to read my idiot story it’s just a little ways up the page. Margaret said I’m not but I’m pretty sure the shoe still fits lol. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help with the wish list for my 18 month old!!!!!!

My name is Erech. I am a single father raising my two boys, Davis age 12, and Erech Jr. age 10. I have been dealing with a very long list of health problems ranging from fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, peripheral neuropathy all the way to anemia and severe anxiety and depression. Throughout treatment my boys spent the majority of their time with their mother who unfortunately was very negligent. They barely ate though she received assistance and they failed school due to high level of absences. I have been pushing myself to the brink of my limit because my boys deserve the best from me. They are in my custody now and thriving.I am often told I am a great dad but I disagree, I am a lucky Dad and I am doing exactly what a Dad is supposed to do. My kids are my world and it hurts to have so little opportunity to treat them. Any help for Christmas would be such a blessing. Hope all involved have a wonderful holiday season and thank you for your time. https://www.facebook.com/erech.lenchert/posts/1662008320526522
Erech, you posted a link to Facebook. You need to post your link to your amazon wishlist for people to be able to help you. Merry Christmas to you and your boys!
Hi guys i hope im not to late to get a James Garfield miracle for my twin girls Josie and Sadie. We have had a really tough year their dad had an accident at work and was laid up for a couple of months putting us behind on everything. He is back to work now, but playing catch up on all the bills has really put Christmas on the back burner and they are right at the prime Santa age.
Josie is my lil wild child, tom boy who loves arts and crafts, Sadie is more of a girly girl who loves playing with makeup and dolls.
I made a list for them here http://a.co/ev5QpF9
I think I followed all the rules, there are pajamas for each, a pack of socks and underwear they can share, 2 books, and 2 toys for each it should all be under the limits. I also put Jenny’s books on there, after finding this site and reading all the wonderful I really want to read more, but if it comes to the books vs something for my girls, I would rather they have priority.
I want to start this by being 100% honest: this year you have already helped my kids, you’ve sent them each a couple of gifts and I am forever grateful.
I have one more child, my eldest stepdaughter. She is currently living with her mom and her mom provides everything she needs..until she cant.
My eldest is 19. She has a lot of mental hiccups and is more like a 14 year old at most. She struggles with most normal behaviors so she’ll perpetually live with her mom.
Her mom sent me a message letting me know that due to recent behavioral issues, she is only to receive clothing for Christmas and really needs hoodies and jeans.
As a mom I couldn’t help but add a couple small items to the list that hopefully wouldn’t be a problem since they aren’t toys.
I understand if there isn’t anyone left to help or if you feel I’m being greedy by asking for her. I just didn’t know where else to turn.
In advance, thank you for any help you’re willing to give.

I’m a single mom of 3. I don’t receive any child support or any kind of help from dad. I’m really struggling this year due to a few ridiculous mistakes. Food stamps were cut off at the same time my income was cut by 3/4 and my rent was trippled. It’s been a real struggle. Xmas help would be greatly appreciated.
Dylan (3295) – your Amazon link is not working. Hopefully you can fix and try again!
I couldn’t resist and ordered one of Jenny’s books for my mom for Xmas. It’s only $8 guys! If you can afford it, definitely grab one to show some support to the owner of this blog 🙂
I know that I should have put those coats on the list first for my two kids Ashlyn 16 and Corey 15. Hope someone could help us out with those. Had some trouble trying to find coats that were not too expensive. Thank you for taking the time to read this. God Bless all you Angels.
Hi everyone! I just want to share Ena Palmas wish list one more time before it’s lights out in case there is a sleepless elf spreading some late night cheer, Last year Enas sister was murdered by her husband leaving behind 3 children and rather than allow the state to take the kids Ena did the right thing and took custody of them, she would do the same for any one because she has thee biggest, kindest heart. So along with her niece and two nephews she has 3 kids of her own and her fiancé has 1 little girl for a grand total of 7 kids! Four teenagers, two preteens and a 1 year old. They definitely struggle and it is the least I can do by sharing her wish list, it is a bit all over the place but given that it’s for 7 kids it’s hard to keep a lot of order. Lol. If you click on the link to her list you can read their full story. Anyway, thanks for reading this. Merry Christmas and goodnight!Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
Thank you for restoring our Christmas spirit!
This year has been challenging and while my oldest two kids understand that due to the combination of my rapidly deteriorating health, and our family losing everything in a house fire means Christmas will be heavy on celebrating our survival and light on everything else, my youngest is on the autism spectrum and deserves a Christmas. His cats died in the fire, and he was unable to save them. It’s been a rough year.
He’s 13, and has sensory issues. We requested a replacement of pants that he loved, a jacket, and a calligraphy book, as well as a calligraphy pen set. He loves to draw, and has recently decided to improve his handwriting. His special interest is the Middle Ages.
Thank you, so much, for giving Christmas a chance.
3339 here, trying again to include the link for the Santa wishlist.
My son is 13, on the autism spectrum, special interest is the Middle Ages. He wears Medium men’s tops, and size 16-18 pants (or men’s M/L yoga pants).
We lost everything in the house fire, and doing this on the cell phone is difficult.
(Hope I got it right this time)

Update on Wishlist 2154… I posted my wishlist on December 10th. I was just posting here to let my potential Secret Santa and everyone else here know that I had to update Christmas pajamas for my daughter. She’s 14 but wears a large in women’s. The original pajamas I posted apparently were very popular because they sold out. I just did not want it to look like I keep adding extra things onto the list (or that I’m being dishonest). I checked today and posted a substitute pair of pajamas that could possibly still get here before Christmas. Thank you all for understanding.
Original posts #2491 and #3152
A HUGE thank you to whoever bought each of my kids a gift of their list.
My wife did not believe me when I told her I had requested on here and was filled with happy tears when we received the selfie light for our oldest daughter today.
I cannot thank you enough. With Christmas approaching and no future income as of now, I cannot express what a blessing it is, especially coming from someone we’ve never met. I’ve also gained well deserved respect for my wifes charitable nature. I never in a million years thought a stranger would be happy to help MY family. Many thanks from my family to yours.
Also, I’m happy to send pictures, my email is pizoe84@gmail.com

Hello Santas & Elves,
My daughters need a Christmas miracle. I love them so much but times have been rough these past few months and it breaks my heart to think that they will have to suffer for my failure to provide. Please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays.
I recently left my daughters’ father and had to move back home with my parents. I am working and saving so that we can get back on our feet, but right now Christmas is looking unmanageable. My girls are Amelia (12) and Nora (9). They are great kids who really deserve so much more than I can give them. I would really love any help to get them some presents for under the tree. Thank you all so much for everything you do.
http://a.co/4RePEni
Update: Thank you so much to the Elf who purchased a knitting loom and a magnet set so that each of my girls will have a gift to open on Christmas. <3
From #586, thank you all so much, again. All the items on my kids’ wishlist have been bought. Happy Yule to everyone!
#3340–it looks like you need to add a shipping address.
Saw someone mention to fill out a comment for who the gift was for (didn’t even know you could do that) so I did that real quick. It was tough for a handful of items because some can be shared and others will be handed down or up once they’re done with them.

Thank you for giving my family a Christmas. James will already be so surprised to see the potter baby outfit, the art supplies will send him to the moon with glee. You and all the elves around here are true miracle workers. Thank you, Thank you.

Renee #3331 – Santa saw that you still needed something for Ella and Beau so he’s sent a couple of things your way. Merry Christmas.
Its been a rough few years. I got sick and couldnt work, and we lost our home. My aunt took us in, me and my 3 kids with her husband and their kids, a very full house. My aunt has been amazing even though I know it has made her life more difficult.
I am so blessed, that some angels on this blog helped provide clothes and gifts for my kids. After years of feeling bad, this was a new spark of hope in people. It is truly an amazing gift, and I am tearing up even thinking about it.
I know this is an unusual request. My aunt has a problem with her rear end, she isnt supposed to sit with pressure on it. The doctor told her to get a kneeling chair. But its not an actual medical device so insurance doesnt cover it. Now that shes been tending to my family, she can’t afford the chair.
I was hoping someone would help me get it for her (its on sale and has a coupon even!) And if you give me your contact info or paypal email, I could make payments each week and pay you back. A medical christmas loan? I would even sign something, a contract for repayment. I just feel so bad that she needs this and Im why she doesnt have it.

Thank you so much 3348! I saw some of those Star Wars Encyclopedia’s were like 20$+ each and didn’t want to take up half the budget on one thing even though they had tons of cool pictures and just enough info to keep him focused on one thing at a time. I hope you have a merry Christmas too.
I posted in the wee hours so I’m not sure if it was bad timing or just bad luck. I feel pretty bad that I am asking for help again, and I’m not sure if I should be. I just know that the bottom line is I want to give a good Christmas to all my kids, and that seems to involve JGM this year. If anyone is still available I hope you’ll consider my list.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3SVIFJH70YUH3
I added several smaller/cheaper things just in case there is someone who might be able to afford something less expensive instead of the larger sets. Anything they could enjoy would be a huge blessing – even if it was a day or two after Christmas at this point. I did leave the big Lego and marker sets, but do NOT expect anyone to get everything on the list. I was trying to offer people options in hopes that they each might get something.
Molly has an intellectual disability that makes her more childlike in her actions. She loves art and animals so I added some new crayons and markers as well as gloves and mittens to her list. Louis loves science and is very creative. He’s pretty quiet and doesn’t talk much, but I think he’d really enjoy Legos. He has a coat he got second-hand that is in good condition, some lounge pants (he wears them around the house, not just as pajamas). I know I’m a little late to this whole thing, but would love to be able to put a little something under their tree this year.
I’m really sorry if I sound desperate, but I’m really hoping they can have something to enjoy this season.

Natalie Mac Isaac from NFLD: Amazon tried to deliver your package today but couldn’t. They will try again tomorrow. It’s the toys for your little, and brushes for your older girl.
My original comment was 3300. I had to edit my list because I misunderstood the $$ limit. I read it as up to $40 per kid in toys AND up to $60 per kid in clothing. I’m so sorry!!! Maybe it’s the stress of this time of year, but my list has been edited properly!
Dear Beutiful Person reading this,
I just learned of this amazing page a few days ago, so I realize I’m cutting it close, but it can’t hurt to try 😊
My long story short is this:
Eight years ago, my husband, our oldest son and I moved from Florida (my lifelong home) to upstate N.Y. (his lifelong home). About a year later, I knew that I didn’t like it here, but my husband wouldn’t leave N.Y., so I just bit the bullet and tried to make the best of it. Unfortunately, two and a half years ago my husband and I split up. When he left, so did all of the friends and family. I’ve been struggling ever since. I’m a single mom, basically stranded in upstate N.Y., far from friends, family and support. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 10 years and having no help or support here has made it impossible to find a job that will accommodate my limited availability. I can only be available Monday-Friday from 8am-6:30pm because I have no one to help watch my kids. I have plans to move closer to my family in the summer, but for now, we live a very day-to-day life. If it weren’t for my oldest son’s SSI, I don’t know how we would survive. My ex (their dad) has only recently started working again, and child support hasn’t kicked in yet. Once it does, I think we’ll be ok (better), but Christmas is going to be bare without help. I’ve been in panic mode. In the last two and a half years, my kids have been through so much. Their dad and I separating, a fire that didn’t destroy many of our belongings but almost killed us with smoke inhalation, me hitting rock bottom and finally getting sober (2 years sober on January 27th), mental health issues…the list goes on and on. I’m grateful we are all alive, healthy and safe. But they deserve a Christmas and I simply cannot give them one this year without help. I’ll be happy with anything that anyone is generous enough to buy for my boys. And even if no one touches my list, im grateful that people like you exist to help others. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart ❤❤❤
Sincerely,
Joy

Hello
I posted and someone has graciously bought gifts for my children . BUT my son has had more items than my daughter. My daughter only has 3. If someone could help I would be very appreciative. So sorry I have to ask for help.😔 without child support and me being on disability the kids are receiving the gifts that have been so graciously given to them by you. Thank you so much.
I am so sorry ! I pray that one day I can be the one giving to another family. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

My Phone battery died on me last night. Thank you so much you have given my family a magical Christmas this year. Thank you for being Santa this year. I’m not sure if it was you or another elf but the rest of the Toys on my wish list have been purchased also. The only things left on our list are the snow boots for Justin, Snow bibs for Justin and Jenny’s book for Bridget. I hope you will take me up on my offer to send you some cheer for Christmas. I promise I am not a crazy stalker, just a grateful mom that want’s to make sure you have a something special too.
Merry Christmas
Hi Evelyn #3364,
Your daughter has received $40 in toys, just what the guidelines allow. Maybe take off the remaining toys and add some clothing? The guidelines for clothes is $60 per child.
Since your son has generously received around $75 in toys and nearly $60 in clothes, could you save part of your son’s gifts for his birthday?
There are still quite a few folks who haven’t received anything yet.
Homeless, single mother of 4, please Help If you can! ;( I’m late so idk if I’ll get anything but hopefully there’s still someone that wants to help a family
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1KC3NZARPO6JA
God bless you all, for all that you are doing to help others in less fortunate circumstances (such as myself). I truly can’t wait for the day where I am in a position to do so as well, and be on the giving side of things.
Thank you so much to the secret Santa who send my two daughters (age 12 and 9) each one toy. I am so happy they will have a gift under the tree. My heart breaks at the thought of them having no Christmas all because of my own failure to provide for them right now.
I appreciate everyone’s help. There are still some toys on our wishlist but for my oldest, she really doesn’t have many wants, but she could use new clothes badly because she is growing like a weed. If anyone could please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays, it would mean the world to us. <3

I am overwhelmed by the Christmas Spirit on this comment thread. Thank you to all the elves that have generously donated to provide all the families and children a Miracle for Christmas. The spirit of Christmas is strong this year. I am grateful that my children will all a present to open on Christmas morning. I have deleted the building bricks base plates and the Grey t-shirts from the list as they drastically increased in price (doubled). I did add some Lego tape instead. I am more than satisfied with the gifts that have been purchased for my family, but if there are elves left that would be willing to send the face masks ( I found a 2 pack for the same price and switched them out) it would make this Dad’s so happy to know that my kids can play out side in the snow without the worry of red chapped faces.
Jenny and all your elves have brought so much cheer and Christmas spirit into my heart.

#3305 There’s a couple of things from your list on the way to you/your sister but I had to select the 5-8 business days shipping option so I hope they arrive in time! Please pass on a massive hug to your sister from a fellow preemie mum, and extra hugs for the little ones who’ve had to put up with all it entails too.
Anonymous 644, gifts are n the way! 2 may be late according to Amazon
Anonymous(3355), markers and mittens on the way for Molly. Lounge pants and Legos for Louis but the Lego set says Dec. 28 for delivery. Sorry about that but maybe Amazon will come through with some Christmas magic and get them there on time. Merry merry to you and your family!
Joy (3363), I cleared out your list but it looks like some things won’t arrive on time, esp. the items for your older boy. I’m sorry about that and hope Amazon comes through—they have in years past so I’m hoping that happens again this year. Merry Christmas to you and your boys!
Original poster #3329, still hoping there are some elves and reindeer hanging around here.
Someone was kind enough to purchase books for my girls, thank you whoever you are, I didn’t see anyone claiming it.
Holding on to hope that someone can gift my twins the coats, clothes or toys. Thank you, Merry Christmas to everyone

I’m a single mother of 2 lil girls and now that my mother has passed away I now have my 15yr old brother. I spent all I was saving on Christmas to have my mother cremated because those were her last wishes and she passed away very unexpectedly. Please anything helps

We are in temporary housing still, I didn’t realize Amazon doesn’t accept a PO Box. :/
Went in and switched to my in-laws address, hopefully that will work? We are already over at her place 3-4× a week to clean and take care of her/take her to doctor appointments.
I was so worried we were too late, and no Christmas this year. Thank you, so much, for restoring hope in humanity.
Trying in hopes someone may be still around looking to bless a 19 year old girl with some desperately needed jeans. I also added a few small items even though her mom said her behavior warrants only clothes. Any angels left? Please consider Alana.. even at 19 she still believes (she’s mentally a lot younger) and I hate feeling like a disappointment

I got the calligraphy ink and book, and I ordered two pairs of pants instead of one. I figured he could always use an extra pair. You should have them by Wednesday.
Bee,
Thank you SO MUCH!!!! I’m speechless right now, and that never happens lol I’m so beyond grateful to you and to this page for hosting such a beautiful thing! I’m hopeful that next year I’ll be able to be on the giving end.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I’m crying right now!
Thank you, so much. I didn’t realize how hard I had worked at smothering my hope, so we wouldn’t be disappointed. Until I saw your post.
Thank you, and Blessed Be!
To Santa’s Helpers, My post number 3332 lists 2 coats for my boys for $60 and 2 toys which are cases they have wanted for so long for the computers they have been slowly building (My little geniuses) which are $40. I tried to keep it to one item of each and the thing they want/need most of each clothes and toys. Not sure if it’s supposed to only be one or the other but either ones would really help. I would prefer quality coats but they would be overjoyed with finally having cases for all the parts they’ve slowly gathered for their desktops. Just wanted to make note of it and apologize for the confusion. They have been doing so well since being back living with me. I’d really like them to get something really special. Love you all and have a wonderful holiday season.

Hi! Trish here original post 3613-I was informed that a sweater on my sons list would not be delivered until after Christmas so I switched it to another one. It is the last item on the list. I have been very fortunate to receive all of the books and pajama bottoms as well as the sweater for my daughter. I truly hope to return next year as an elf, and give the amazing feeling to another mother who is just trying to fill her kids with the spirit of Christmas. Thank you so very much!Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/LD7U6S347HK8
The majority of this is clothes. Theres some toys on here but mostly basic needs. Thank you. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2LM1TPOAY8PRA

REPOSTING:::
❤❤ I am a mother of 3 wonderful little girls. I try my best to empower them and show them how to be independent. I have never been able to bring myself to ask for help, but I feel as if I am letting them down this year.. I would deeply appreciate any help that is given and as soon as I am able I will definitely pay it forward. I don’t expect anything for myself this Christmas just my children. And I honestly don’t expect that from anyone either, but it would it be extremely appreciated and I would be forever grateful. May God forever bless you all!
🎄🎁👪********†*********
TO ANYONE THAT HELP, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

P.S. please ignore the list titled NIKI as it is a list I have compiled lately as some things I would like to one day be able to afford for myself. The list for my 12,8 and 5 year olds is labeled “kids”.
Hi, I would like to ask for help for our 2 kids 6 and 13. My husband and I are having a hard time as he’s disabled and I stay home to care for him. My son and daughter need help with boots for my daughter and a hat and gloves for my son. I also added a few toys for my daughter and a couple things for my son. Merry Christmas! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR
Kim 3384,
There’s a Paw Patrol coloring pad on it’s way to you. It says guaranteed delivery by Dec 19th. I wish I could send more. I hope you and Annie have a fantastic holiday!
I thought I had it covered this year. Turns out not so much, so I’m hoping for a last minute miracle. The trike is the only big thing my four-year-old asked for, and there is just no way I can afford it. It’s a little over $40 (the least expensive I could find that’s big enough), so I understand if no one can help.
Her wish list is here.
https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/6WAAP54JFHN1
(Jenny, one of your readers gifted me your book last year, and your coloring book when it came out. That coloring book saved my sanity and maybe my life, while my husband was fighting for his in the hospital. What a wonderful distraction. Thank you.)
If anyone is looking for a last-minute gift list to peruse, please consider my son’s! We would be so incredibly appreciative for any help at all. Thank you very much! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/9DAMYYTGS6MC

Hello everybody! I have been trying to get some items for my friend Ena for days now, she is raising her two kids, her fiancés one child and they have a child together, she is also raising her sisters 3 children as their mother was murdered by their father last year. Four teenagers, two preteens and a 1 year old-so I’m sure you can imagine the stress she is under, she suffered a mild stroke recently, along with countless “minor” medical problems that just keep popping up, she spent the last two days hospitalized for pain in her legs probably due to gout, I believe it is all stress related, my poor friend is falling apart:(
Yet she continues to smile and wakes up every day with the sun to get the kids to therapy, doctor visits, school etc. anyway, her full story is connected to her wish list if you are interested. It’s a few sweaters and toys -electronics (teens)or books for each kid. She’s just trying to get each kid something to keep them warm and maybe something to keep them entertained. Please keep her in your thoughts💕 thanks for listening. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
I haven’t been able to do it all this year – humbly grateful for Jenny’s project. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/30WB9YRWADE6M
Lisa #3289, now calling herself Elizabeth.
Stop it. Please, jut stop. You have already received many things for AJ, or as you sometimes call him, Andrew. Jenny herself told you two expensive paint sets were on the way (one was $40), which you have now deleted from your “purchased” list, so it looks like you have received less help. You also deleted many other things off the list. You have posted many, many times and ignored Jenny’s instructions from the get-go.
And here you are now, back posting under a different name? I hesitated to fully call you out before, but I’ll say it now: You, lady, are a scammer. You were last year, and are again this year. You have already received hundreds in dollars this year, and had received about $1000 last year. Stop now. If there is any honor in your soul you will stop. AJ is getting a Christmas. Don’t take Christmas away from someone who still needs help.
Just stop.
HELP! I’m hoping there’s still someone out there that can help me with something. A kind person here was generous enough to purchase a pair of boots for my oldest. After they arrived I realized that I picked out a size too small. I don’t know who purchased them for us so I can’t see if they can try and return them for me and purchase another pair in his size. The boots that were bought for him don’t even go up to the size he need so, I now have to return these boots so the sender gets their money back but that will leave him with no boots. There’s a pair below that I know will fit him if anyone is able to get them. It’s not the biggest deal but he did ask for boots and thanks to me buying the wrong size I may have messed that up for him and I feel awful about it. 😰

Z. Greenwood! Thank you for the pajamas! You’ve allowed me to uphold a Christmas Eve tradition-I allow my kids to open one gift but I get to choose which one and somehow, it’s always the pajamas! Lol. I love it and they’ve not caught on yet. So thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🧡
I was informed that the sweater on my sons list would not be available for Christmas so I switched it with a different one that is less flashy but will keep him warm and that’s what’s most important-I found one that is less expensive but not Prime available and that cost more but is Prime-they are both the same level of warmth-I do not mind about the color. Thank you for your time:)
Christina at #3394, you should read the Scammer post above yours. Everything written there applies to you as well. You’ve gotten more than enough things already. Stop asking for more.
Original poster #3329, still hoping there are some elves and reindeer hanging around here.
Holding on to hope that someone can gift my twins the coats, clothes or toys.
I added a new baby doll on there tonite cause the original one i put on there went up to $28, left the old one on so someone didn’t think it was bought and then deleted. If you can find something cheaper than any of the items it is fine, they are not picky will just be happy to have a toy to open. Thank you and Merry Christmas
I had to update alanas list since something happened to become unavailable.
I have very little on the list, as what she’s most in need of is jeans and hoodies. I am desperate to help her, I wish I could do more and I have to swallow my Pride and hope for a miracle.
Please please consider Alana and help me make her Christmas a little brighter?
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3SVIFJH70YUH3
#3329 – I tried but it isn’t working to send to your address (it doesn’t show a “wishlist address” option for shipping). Please put an address in!
#3329 – I tried again in a different browser and it did let me choose the wishlist shipping address, so pajamas should be on their way!
Hi, JK from 3188 here. I’d wondered if maybe I had just posted too late, or because I originally messed up the wish list (I modified my kids wish list that I normally use for birthday presents and the like), or if everyone was done, all of which I totally understand. Then I reread my comment and realized I never posted the actual Amazon wishlist! D’oh! No wonder! 😂 I also finally figured out the comment numbering. Technology on a cell phone + this RA doesn’t appear to be working in my favor, hah!
So if anyone is still willing to help, here is the wish list for my 3 kiddos. This will likely be our last Christmas in our house as we are sadly facing foreclosure & my medical nightmares are only just starting.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/34MQ5WIDC9Y5
Thanks again to Jenny for her wonderful, kind, and generous heart, and to all of her amazing followers for being just as awesome as she is. Y’all make the world a bit brighter for people. Bless y’all for that. I hope there are folks who do the same for you. <3
Hello! Original post 3163 – I was informed that the sweater I had on my list for my son was unavailable until after Christmas so I switched it with a different one- if anybody is questioning why a 12 yo needs a men’s large please know that he is a big boy and weighs 140 lbs. unfortunately for me he grew out of kids sizes about 2 years ago. I would never take advantage of such amazing people and an incredible blog or anybody for that matter, I’d just like to offer my son a new sweater to go along with his new sweat bottoms a wonderful woman bought him for Christmas. Thanks for the time! Merry Christmas-Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/LD7U6S347HK8
Hi, this is the incredibly grateful mom from post 3339/3340
We noticed the jacket went up in price, unfortunately. I don’t want to remove it and create conflict, and I can’t find a means to edit posts (maybe Jenny can edit?)
If a fleece lined, waterproof jacket comes available, that is under $20, he would be grateful. The other thing he reminded me about when the upstairs neighbors were pretty loud, is his Ety20 noise reduction earplugs still haven’t been replaced.
If anyone can find them for under $20, it would reduce his anxiety and meltdowns.
Jenny, Bloggess, you are an angel walking among us. Anonymous 3378, thank you again for two pairs of pants. I am able to be a little more articulate now that I’m not crying. You are an example of what the season is supposed to be about: giving. You made a miracle, thank you.
Sincerely,
One grateful mom!
Once again I had to delete an item from the list since it was now unavailable. I replaced it with a small stuffed animal in hopes of the same use. She has crazy high anxiety and stress so maybe she can cuddle the dog and calm down? There is also a book, some socks, a necklace to encourage her and then jeans and a hoodie.
It is hard to ask for help, especially after you all have been helping so many for the last week. I would be so grateful if there are any angels left who can possibly help me give Alana a great Christmas. She deserves so much more than I can do but I going to do my best to ensure she knows how much she is loved.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3SVIFJH70YUH3
God bless you all, for all that you are doing to help others in less fortunate circumstances (such as myself). I truly can’t wait for the day where I am in a position to do so as well, and be on the giving side of things.
My girls are my world and I am so heartbroken at the thought of them having no Christmas all because of my own failure to provide for them right now.
There are some toys on our wishlist but for my 12 year old daughter, but she really doesn’t have many wants, and she could use new clothes more than anything because she is growing like a weed. If anyone could please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays, it would mean the world to us. ❤
I have made a wishlist for them, at http://a.co/4RePEni
Update! : I appreciate everyone’s help. Thank you so much to the secret santas that have ordered my daughters two gifts each. I am so thankful that they will have something under the tree on Christmas morning. You are angels to our family. <3 <3 <3
You guys….everything except the coats for the girls and the books for mom (I WILL buy them at a later time tho, must read!) was bought They each got a toy to open, 2 books, jammies and socks/undies to share! Amazing. Simply amazing, you are some super humans out there and I will not forget the miracle you guys performed while I was sleeping last night <3
You have no idea how grateful I am to anonymous #3399/3400 and the rest of you guys who make miracles happen overnight. It’s all because of YOU that my two will have a something to open on Christmas morning!
James Garfield is real y’all! Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this!
Jade from the UK- I bought the items on your wish list. The only thing that remains undelivered is the Paw Patrol Jumper, It should be there by tomorrow according to Amazon. The trainers have that the parcel was handed to a resident on Wednesday December 13th. Did you get them? The hat and gloves set and the socks were delivered on Tuesday, December 12th. The gift card, the mega craft jar, stampers, coloring book and math book were delivered on Wednesday, December 13th. Please let me know if you received the trainers. Merry Christmas!
Not looking for a gift, but a loan. I would pay you back and sign a contract!
Its been a rough few years. I got sick and couldnt work, and we lost our home. My aunt took us in, me and my 3 kids with her husband and their kids, a very full house. My aunt has been amazing even though I know it has made her life more difficult.
I am so blessed, that some angels on this blog helped provide clothes and gifts for my kids. After years of feeling bad, this was a new spark of hope in people. It is truly an amazing gift, and I am tearing up even thinking about it.
I know this is an unusual request. My aunt has a problem with her rear end, she isnt supposed to sit with pressure on it. The doctor told her to get a kneeling chair. But its not an actual medical device so insurance doesnt cover it. Now that shes been tending to my family, she can’t afford the chair.
I was hoping someone would help me get it for her (its on sale and has a coupon even!) And if you give me your contact info or paypal email, I could make payments each week and pay you back. A medical christmas loan? I would even sign something, a contract for repayment. I just feel so bad that she needs this and Im why she doesnt have it.

I was hesitant to post again because I see so much about scammers. Then I see that people are reposting with hopes of someone purchasing items from their list. So here goes nothing… (originally post 3360)
Hi! I realize Christmas is only a week away, and I really wish I heard about this sooner. I’m a single mom of 3 kids. Twin 9 year old boys and a 5 year old girl. Lost my job last month, and I’m searching for a new one. Hoping there’s still some help left. 😊
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3U0KTD4FEPUFW
Please, please, please! I hope I am not too late for this. My children and I just fled our husband and my husband. We’ve been enduring an abusive home environment for 3 years now and I finally decided that enough is enough. I essentially had to leave with nothing and I have very little means to buy my children the appropriate winter clothes let alone gifts.
Fortunately my sister is letting us stay with her until I can get back on my feet. I am sad, I am overwhelmed, I am tired. I don’t know what to do. A woman at the battered women’s program that I go to during the day told me about this page and I can tell from the comments that I am very very late.
Please if anyone can bless me and my kiddos with warm weather clothing and a few Christmas gifts, I would so so appreciate it. I know that it would help make the holidays a little less gloomy for my kids.
I hope I did this wishlist right: http://a.co/aUX29PK
Thank you for doing this wonderful program.

2081Anne Brown | December 10, 2017 at 11:24 am
I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident right across from Our home. He was turning in to the parking lot while we so stood outside. He hot a pothole ans his hand hit the throttle and he went face first into the curb with no helmet and then air lifted to the hospital. He currently has seizures and is trying to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both started back to work thank goodness. Our kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are hoping for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like. We hope there is still hope even being this late in December.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2
We are praying for any help possible please. 😦

Anonymous back again. I’m glad you didn’t give up hope. I think that’s what Christmas is all about. The jacket and two sets of earplugs are on their way (the earplugs look easy to lose, so I figured a back up set would help).
Unfortunately, the pants won’t make it until just after Christmas, but everything else will be there before.
Merry Merry!
Ena @ 3412 – what you refer to as a “smartwatch” is, in fact, just a watch band. I didn’t know if you realized that and wanted to point it out, so you aren’t disappointed upon it’s arrival.
Thank you to Jenny for the jacket for my daughter and to whoever bought the shark activity kit for my youngest son!I know it’s a little late but hopefully someone will see this and be able to help with my other 4 having something to open Christmas morning! Thanks for everything!🤗🤗🎄🎁🎄
The items that people bought off my wishlist are starting to come in the mail and wanted to come back and thank you guys once again. Came here assuming there might be a kind soul willing to grab one thing off the list but half of them ended up being bought. Goes to show that you can’t underestimate the kindness of strangers and the spirit of Christmas.
Thank you so much to the wonderful person/people who helped!
Yay! I would like to thank whom ever it was who purchased the sweater for my big baby! Thank you , thank you , thank you! I still can barely believe this has happened. Jenny you are truly a Christmas Angel to have thought up something this grand and to be able to help so many-thank you , thank James Garfield and thanks to the person who called you crazy for your purchase sparking this idea. Merry Christmas to you all!

I just realized I didn’t add my children’s wishlist on post 3416 sorry.
Check out my Wish List. Wish Lists are great for keeping track … https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3QKYKYVE8T2N0/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awwl_xs_5V-nAbA63J1R3
I have a teenage boy (15 years old) and custody of my 3 young GrandAngels ages 3 years, 2 years and 4 months old, I am fighting to get disability and would love to have something under the tree for them. I added a variety of things to choose from, I requested the breast milk storage bags because I have a milk donor and I’d like to provide the donor with bags since she doesn’t charge me for the breast milk for the baby who isn’t able to tolerate formula due to an under developed stomach. Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Hi, I’m going to try posting again. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR
Trying one last time for my nephews: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2NB1XKDA9IXJW
Full disclosure: they’ve each received one gift already from a kind elf but if there is any leftover cheer, please consider helping them out.
A lot of the items on the list were no longer available so I traded them out for Prime items like someone suggested: http://a.co/dsUwq9f

There’s a copy of Giraffes Can’t Dance on it’s way to you, should arrive by Dec 20th. I am so glad you and your children are in a safe place now. I know it may not feel like it, but giving your kids the gift of being safe is the most important (and expensive I know) gift you could have given them. I hope you all have a happy holiday!

Hi! I am am mother of two wonderful boys ages 15 and 10. I wish I had more for them this year but just paying past due bills is about all we will be able to manage. This honestly sounds like a long shot and a god send. Thank you for anything anyone can do. I know 2 of the 4 things on my list are over $40 but as u can see they are educational. My youngest has autism spectrum Disorder and has been asking for a microscope for a very long time. My oldest is incredibly interested in circuits and computer so these would mean more than any toy or video game. Thank you

Hi everyone.I’m not sure if this is still going on but, worth a try. I’m a single mom of 2 in need of help. I hate asking but, i have to put my pride aside. I have twin boys that are a couple months old. I recently lost my job and need a little help. My boys are growing out of their clothing rapidly and right now things are really tight. I did one list for both boys as i don’t want to be greedy. If anyone could help by getting me a couple of items off my list, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

I have a 15 year old son and have custody of my three GrandAngels ages 3 years, 2 years and 4 months (all girls) I have posted several requeststo give options for anyone who might want to help us out. I requested the breast milk storage bags because I have a breast milk donor (due to under developed stomach baby cannot digest formula) and I’d like to help provide some bags for her

Someone suggested adding the kiddo’s names to each gift. I did them to the toys and girls clothes but not the boy’s clothing.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2LM1TPOAY8PRA
Someone has sent socks thank you!
I see a lot about the scammers. I am at The Little House On The Corner as a previous person posted from this network. I set up my own account but it may have the same IP address.
Is there a way to find your comment to edit? Just wanted to say thank you to the individuals who purchase 3 of my items. I’ve also recommended this blog to someone in need. Hopefully, that’s okay?
Thank you so much Mim for the book, Kylie will love it!
Please if there is anyone who sees our wishlist that may be able to help, we would so so appreciate it. As I stated above we are a homeless family fleeing my ex husband. My sister is letting us stay with her temporarily but we are 500 miles away from home and my children are unprepared for the cold weather here. Please if you can help us with coats and/or boots on our list I would be forever thankful to you.
I Feel like a bad mom because I cannot provide the Christmas that they deserve after what they’ve endured. Please help make this a little easier on all of us,

To the lovely and generous person(s?) who got an item for each of my kids, thank you so very, very much! I am so grateful that they will each have something under the tree, and I look forward to being able to pay it forward in the future. Bless all of you wonderful people, those giving as well as those in need. Merry Christmas, everyone. <3
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves – the Harry Potter socks for A.J. arrived, thank you! I haven’t seen the shirt yet, and I know you said you ordered them at the same time. I wanted to let you know in case it was showing as delivered, so you could get with Amazon and get your money back if it’s been lost somewhere.

This has been a challenging year for me. I started a new job and had a baby three months ago and was not able to collect short term disability . Which caused me to fall behind on some obligations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I’ve never been in a situation where I wasn’t able to buy my kids gifts before, but this has been an awful year and so I’ve found myself in this uncomfortable position. I can barely buy groceries most days, so gifts aren’t really very high on my priorities right now as much as I would like them to be. This page came across my fb feed several times while I was asking the Universe for some help, and I finally clicked on the link and I was amazed by this project, so I thought I would give it a try. Here’s my list for my 2 kiddos, thank you all for your thoughfulness, regardless of whether or not any one is able to help. Much love and blessings to you all.

Hi! I love this James Garfield Miracle! I’d like to tell you all about a really good friend of mine her name is Ena, last year her sister was taken from them tragically and unexpectedly and being the woman with the heart of gold Ena took custody of her niece and 2 nephews along with her two kids and her fiancés daughter they had a baby together making them a family of 9! In one year! 4 teenagers, two preteens and a 1 yo! Whew! As you can imagine they are struggling financially but they are always smiling! Always happy and optimistic even when it looks like the only option is to give up, she doesn’t and her perseverance keeps the whole family going. I just love her and would love to help them out that’s why I am sharing her wish list-thanks so much for reading my words and Merry Christmas!🎄 Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
Hi Wendy, thank you for letting me know! It must have stopped being Prime eligible. I added a Porg toy instead from the new Star Wars movie.
Hi there, you guys are all absolutely amazing and inspiring. This list is for an infant baby girl, mom is out of work and drowning in student loans and dad is making ends meet but there aren’t extras right now.

I had to post again, I didn’t tell my husband originally when I was posting on here since I didn’t want to get his hopes up too. But today when I looked and had seen that the only thing not bought for the girls was the coats, I couldn’t wait to tell him tonite that Christmas was saved our girls would have something under the tree!
My husband is a big ol ‘manly man’, does hard physical labor and hates to show emotion, tough as can be type…but this actually got to him. He sat there reading through the comments amazed at this tribes generosity. Really making the difference in so many kids lives.
We agreed that next year we want to be on the other side of things next year. Now that he is on the mend and back to work and he wants to add in a James Garfield line to our monthly budget and to set aside part of our tax refund for James Garfield and The Bloggess.
Im going to post the link one more time in case there are any reindeer out there looking to gift 2 girls a coat last minute. http://a.co/ev5QpF9
The coat originally picked for Josie is now out of stock, so I added a second, it says only 2 in stock, so there is a 3rd option. I tried to grab the lowest price ones I could find.
Thank you all, once again! Merry Christmas

To the person who bought Tye a hat, thank you so much. It’s cold in the morning and we have a two hour train commute in the morning. Here’s our list in case someone else can help.

My niece told me about this, how you saved Christmas for her kids! I know it is probably too late but I thought I would at least try for my own kids.

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident and then air lifted to the hospital. He still currently has seizures and is trying to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both stated back to work thank goodness. Or kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are going for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2
We are praying for any help possible please. 😦

Thank you. ♡♡♡
Hello Santas and Elves,
I am desperate for a Christmas miracle for my two daughters. I love them so much but times have been rough these past few months and it breaks my heart to think that they will have to suffer for my failure to provide. Please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays.
I recently left my daughters’ father and had to move back home with my parents. I am working and saving so that we can get back on our feet, but right now Christmas is looking unmanageable. My girls are Amelia (12) and Nora (9). They are great kids who really deserve so much more than I can give them. I would really love any help to get them some presents for under the tree. Thank you all so much for everything you do. I truly can’t wait for the day where I am in a position to do so as well, and be on the giving side of things.
My girls are my world and I am so heartbroken at the thought of them having no Christmas.
There are some toys on our wishlist but for my 12 year old daughter, but she really doesn’t have many wants, and she could use new clothes more than anything because she is growing like a weed. If anyone could please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays, it would mean the world to us. ❤
I have made a wishlist for them, at http://a.co/4RePEni
Brie Clark (post 3086) – Amazon tells me that the items made it to your doorstep today – “left near the front doorstep or porch” it says. Please let me know if they didn’t show up!
There are only 5 items on Alana’s list. I deleted something that went up in price, but the rest remains. With less than a full week until Christmas I am hoping for a miracle. If all the elves and angels are tapped out, I would understand as you’ve helped so many. If anyone is still looking, please consider Alana.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3SVIFJH70YUH3
Carla (3360)- the “PJ MASKS Big Girls’ Icon Print Zip up Hoodie, Heather Grey, 5” is not in stock until Dec 21st and won’t get there till the 27th. Did you want to pick something else? Or did you want me to order that anyway and let your daughter get an IOU under the tree? The rest of the items on your list have been ordered and Amazon says they should arrive on the 20th and 21st./
Let me know what you want to do about the hoodie!
Please, please, please! I hope I am not too late for this. My children and I just fled our husband and my husband. We’ve been enduring an abusive home environment for 3 years now and I finally decided that enough is enough. I essentially had to leave with nothing and I have very little means to buy my children the appropriate winter clothes let alone gifts.
Fortunately my sister is letting us stay with her until I can get back on my feet. I am sad, I am overwhelmed, I am tired. I don’t know what to do. A woman at the battered women’s program that I go to during the day told me about this page and I can tell from the comments that I am very very late.
Please if anyone can bless me and my kiddos with warm weather clothing and a few Christmas gifts, I would so so appreciate it. I know that it would help make the holidays a little less gloomy for my kids.
I hope I did this wishlist right: http://a.co/aUX29PK
Thank you for doing this wonderful program <3
To any last minute Santa’s Helpers, my original post is 3332. I see so many amazing angels and so many grateful families. I must admit seeing so many blessings really got my hopes up. As I have stated I am a single father raising my two amazing young men, Davis is 12 and EJ is 10. As I am currently waiting on disability we are living off cash assistance right now which leaves us nothing to spare. I have reached out and did receive some gifts through a charitable organization and am very grateful. It just hurts because they have only asked for 2 things each and I don’t have any means of making it happen. When I heard about this program from a friend who was blessed with her entire gift list after my first post my spirits were high. My children have been through many used coats, never new, thrift stores mostly, and I wanted to get them a durable coat that could last multiple years. I put a nice coat for each of them that was under the $60 limit. But the gift they have been dreaming about is a case to contain the parts for the desktop computers they have been slowly building. Through so much work they have acquired parts to have them up and running but one is attached to a USPS box lol and the other sits in a cardboard box I helped him with. These boys have been through a tough year due to health problems I’ve had but we are working our way back up, they are rocking it in school and are so helpful to me around the house. These boys really deserve so much but they literally didn’t want to make a list so I asked them to pick one clothing item and one “toy” within the maximum amount. This list is all they want and if there are any last Elves out there that could help brighten that moment upon seeing the tree Christmas morning, words cannot express what it would mean to me. I understand that not all wishes can be fulfilled and have been taken aback by how caring and generous people can be. It’s very uplifting. And if the list I provided can’t be helped I take much satisfaction in the miracles that have already been made. You Angels remind us that there is so much more good in the world than bad and bless you all for that. Thank you if you took the time to read this and have a wonderful Christmas season. So much love!

Kathryn Sanders from post 2533 here. Thank you to Karen-one of santa’s many elves! And to whoever sent the couple of other things off of Corbin’s list. I am very grateful! This has helped us out a ton!
I really didn’t know if this was “real”. I see a lot of contest type things on Facebook that I usually don’t enter. Wondering if it’s some type of scam. This seemed like one of those “too good to be true” things. Until I got my package today. I had bought some gifts for my kids and had to return some of them because my ex decided to stop paying child support. I still feel angry but it was guilt that hurt more. Guilt over a situation that isn’t my fault but that’s I knew I would take the blame for anyways. To my kids, these gifts give them something to talk about when they go back to school after Christmas. Something pretty and wrapped under our small tree. To me it’s relief. The situation with my ex hasn’t changed. It won’t anytime soon. Yet Christmas is exactly one week from today and I know no matter what that things will be okay during that time. I know the feeling of helping others at Christmas. It’s incredibly rewarding. It’s hard to ask for help. Even to accept help that isn’t asked for. But my goal is to see this blog one year from now and be able to fulfill someone’s wish list. I can’t thank all of you enough.
Praying for a miracle. I was planning on using my Christmas bonus to provide a small Christmas for my babies. My boss finally told me today that they are no longer giving us a bonus and instead threw an over the top party at Dave and Busters. My heart sank and nearly quit my job, but what good would that do. then Tonught while I was in tears at the Kroger check out $15 dollars short a miracle happened and the woman behind me gave me the cash to complete my order and filled my gas tank. I had lost all hope but She showed me the light, I swear an angel sent her to me. She is a huge fan of Jenny’s and gave me a copy of her book, and also recommended I search for the James Garfield Christmas Miracle. She told me her neighbor was able to provide a small Christmas for her 5 children.
So here I am less than a week before the big day the last chance I have to put anything under our meager tree. If there are any elves around please consider sending a gift to my babies.
Katie is 6. She Loves dolls and playing pretend she has a very vivid imagination and loves to have tea parties
Danny will be 2 next month and is a very active toddler. he loves to play qith hos big sister and to especially to build with blocks or whatever he can.
My little ones will be decades if Santa forgets them. Please help if you can.

Hi! I posted a while back, so I’m not sure of my number. I was wondering if anyone was able to purchase the last item on my list for my son. Thanks in advance!
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/18O0TER7IL4S6
3459 Jade from the UK, I posted this yesterday but I guess you did not see it.
Jade from the UK- I bought the items on your wish list. The only thing that remains undelivered is the Paw Patrol Jumper, It should be there by tomorrow according to Amazon. The trainers have that the parcel was handed to a resident on Wednesday December 13th. Did you get them? The hat and gloves set and the socks were delivered on Tuesday, December 12th. The gift card, the mega craft jar, stampers, coloring book and math book were delivered on Wednesday, December 13th. Please let me know if you received the trainers. Merry Christmas!
Good morning everyone, just wanted to try one more time for some winter coats for my 7 year old twins Josie and Sadie. With snow heading our way later this week its looking to get real cold and white for the holiday.
Their wishlist http://a.co/ev5QpF9
I think our list got lost between the other posts. I’m asking for help for my son and daughter. My husband was a victim of a crime that made him permanently unable to walk without a cane and we now survive on disability payments. My son Tye is a great kid who helps around the house and with his sister. My daughter Anita is rambunctious and takes nothing from anyone lol. Tye mostly wants a headset and needs gloves. Anita loves Barbie and needs boots. I added a few extra items but those are their highest wants and needs. Thank you for the hat for Tye!
Forgot to put the link. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR

Thank you for doing this wonderful program ❤
A few of them items ordered off my wishlist are arriving in a weird order (some of the first things picked up aren’t here yet) so hopefully everything’s alright. If you ordered something under my wishlist please check to make sure everything’s alright. I’ve only gotten the 2 jackets + Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Thanks in advance.
Josh #3469- I checked my Amazon order for you and the Star Wars book and Captain UP should arrive today, the coloring book on Thurs. Since Amazon uses so many different sellers, a lot of times the packages come in weird order! Merry Merry!
Alright tyvm 🙂 I was getting really worried! The jackets that were bought on friday already showed up but things that were bought over a week ago still weren’t here.
My niece told me about this, how you saved Christmas for her kids! I know it is probably too late but I thought I would at least try for my own kids. Since taking on my niece and her kids and our medical issues money has been non existant. Ive tapped out all resources. I don’t know what to do. But hope. My kids’ wishes

Carla (3460) – Okay! Apparently the date has shifted and it won’t be in stock now till Dec 27 – Amazon promises a Happy New Year delivery though. Hopefully your daughter will understand about production delays at the North Pole 🙂 But it has been ordered and will be on it’s way soon! Merry Christmas!
Kristi, 3423 and 3441, the porg appears to be out of stock now too, and the blanket is at $35. I hate to mention it, but after a week and more of the JGM my Santa budget has gotten rather stretched (I know that’s entirely my own issue). Are there books or some other smallish items they would like? If it doesn’t work out, I hope another Santa can help out with the blanket!
PS – I’m the one who got your niece the Alice mug a few days ago, since the boys each had something already, and it seemed like she didn’t.
I am reposting because I am hoping that there might be a Santa left willing to help Harmony with a winter coat. If not, thats totally ok too. We have already received some gifts band we are so grateful! Here is my original post.
We are quite late but I hope we haven’t missed the boat completely. We have struggled the last few years and I had hoped to manage Christmas on my own this year, but that is not how things played out. We just moved into a new place because our landlord unfortunately passed away and all his tenants were served with 30 day vacate notices. We had to scramble to find a place and we luckily did but it all but wiped us out and money is skin tight right now. My husband and I have 2 beautiful little girls who deserve the world and if I could just get a little bit of help with their Christmas, I would be so much in your debt.
Serenity is my oldest. She is 14, and in the 9th grade, this is her first year of high school and she is kicking its butt. She is on the honor roll and has a 4.19 grade point average. She takes advanced math, English and science classes. I am so proud of her and I know that she is headed for big things when she grows up. Here is her wish list. http://a.co/1thGzgS
Harmony is my little girl, she is 3 years old and she is half pure awesomeness and half pure evil lol she reminds me of one of those sour patch kids, haha. She is smart beyond her years and absolutely full of the Dickens, and she keeps me on my toes literally every second of the day. She is also the sweetest, most cuddly little bean you would ever meet. Here is her wishlist. http://a.co/dj3dZfT
I’m sorry for posting so late and I hope there are still some of Santa’s magic floating around for us, if not thats ok, too, I’m just so happy to see so many kids wishes get fulfilled and so many kids have an awesome Christmas thanks to this place. Thanks for reading guys!
Again, I first want to thank the angel out there that bought an item for my 14 year old daughter from my wishlist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. <3 As this was my first time making a wishlist here, I realized days after I made the list that many original items I chose did not have prime shipping. I had to change all of those because it’s closer to Christmas, and since they still are on the list, they would not have been here until after January. I also had to change my daughter’s Christmas pajamas because they sold out. I removed those and added a less popular pair. Just wanted to communicate that here, so it would not look suspicious. I have two items that still have the original Dec 10th date, but had to update items for my teenage daughter and 4 month old daughter. Thanks for your help. Wish list 2154:

I hate to be a dim bulb, but HOW do I find a list to buy for?
Just have to manually scroll up through the comments and click all the wishlist links and find one that catches your fancy.
Hi Kim, Welcome! Look for a comment with a link to Amazon.com
Thanks y’all, that’s what I did! Merry Cmas to all & Joyous 2018!!
You too Kim!
Thank you to everyone who has helped with my family this year! You are all amazing wonderful people! There are only 2 things left on the list and one is out of stock ! I am original post 1542 rachel (@rachelpoo81) . I have received most of the items already, I found it really weird on my list was diapers for my little guy. I did have them on my first list but had to edit to make sure the amounts were correct and was pretty sure I had removed them and all of a sudden I had noticed they had been purchased for him! They have not been received yet, and I am not sure how to find out if able who purchased them. Diapers are in no way cheap at all and I really appreciate the angel who was able to do this for me and my son ( Dylan is 3 today!!!) . I cannot wait for Christmas Day and see the kids faces with gifts under the tree and actually have what they really want!
Thank you all so much , I love you for being so kind and generous to not only me but every person in need this year. I really hope to be you next year and help another with a Christmas wish. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year! Thank you Jenny the Bloggess for having this program available and hope you and yours have a wonderful Holiday and New Year. I enjoy reading your blogs, they are wonderful. Hopefully I will be able to start my own blog sometime soon. I had an account set up but go blank when I want to write, I just dont think I make any sense sometimes as much as I write. I love all you do and hope nothing but the best for you and yours . Again thank all of you angels for helping everyone here have something to look forward to. You have made me feel very happy and relieved to know that I can have at least one day of no stress and worry with my kids . I am sorry I did not write down everyones name that were included in the packages I have received, I know Jenny, Rich and Becky from the UK for sure. Please forgive me if I left your name out if you know you sent one of the children an item that was delivered with a name attached. I thank you just as much as the 3 names I do recall and the same for those who have helped and just not came yet. Thank you all a billion times!!! <3
Rachel #3435.. evidently the penguin delivering AJ’s sweatshirt is still in the process of apparating to you. Please be patient =) His anticipated apparating date is sometime between 12/20-12/28. IF it is delivered after Christmas, please let AJ know that “Penguin Ama-zooonie” sucks at apparating 😛 Merry Christmas
Looking for Brynn list for Beckett (#1450) or Karen her friend that re-posted for her (#1820)
There was a problem with shipping the magnet building set for Beckett :(. UPS shows it never arrived at the facility as scheduled to. I am panicking thinking that Beckett’s gift will not arrive and I hope you see this in time. I am wondering if you can add another similar set to Beckett’s list so that I can have it sent. I have found a few for you that have one day shipping available if you’d like to take a look and add one of these. I’ll be checking his list frantically hoping to see one added so I can send it.

***Jenny, is there any way you can find Brynn or Karen on your end to make sure they see this?
Erech and Hoping for a Janes Garfield Miracle, I’m so excited, it looks like your lists were completed! I was so hoping they would be.
Thank you Charlene for the video game for Tyler, it just came a few min ago!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you again , he will be so happy to have a different game to play 🙂

Sorry linda i didnt see your reply my apologises. I have recieved all items ypu have listed including trainers and jumper thank you so much. I was looking for the person who purchased my older daughters boots and paw patrol puzzle as thats all i havent recieved off my list. Really appriciate all the help you have gave me and thank you for the gift card xxx
Christina (with middle name Faye) – I ordered some of the items from Ashlyn’s list, as I also have a 15-year old daughter. Amazon says they won’t arrive until after X-mas, but I hope she enjoys them all the same. Merry Christmas!
Hi I am original poster 1542, I had just mentioned a thank you for a person who had placed an order for diapers on the 14th. I just spoke with Amazon and they have told me the person had cancelled the order, although it was not showing on the list as so. So the diapers were not purchased which is a huge bummer, I was concerned because it was purchased but not received yet and wanted to see if they could check on it to be sure it was not delivered as I did not get it. I was then told it was cancelled. So I have to rescind my thank you on the diapers and there are 2 items still on the list left.
I think everything for the children for gifts has been more than I could have expected. I really would like to have some help with diapers if possible, if not I do understand. There is a controller on the list and a clothing item for Dylan which is out of stock. I am not sure if the diapers are even available now by prime, it is now back on my list with the original date of the 14th so that can be known that I did not just add it recently or today. I am very grateful for all the gifts you all have been able to help my family with. If there is anyone who can help with diapers on the list or a different brand even in the same size that would be great. At the time it showed as purchased there was a coupon with it for $1.50 and I am not sure if that is still on there , those are the diapers we have used only due to them actually lasting longer than others. My son is 3 today and is behind in development & speech, right now his communication is assessed as an infant, his motor skills are good but still may be looked at further. He will be going to school for hopefully some help in getting him where he needs to be for kindergarten and then tested to see if he has autism when he comes up on the wait list. He is not potty trained , I have tried my best and it is just something he is not ready for fully. I will need help with diapers for a while I already know this so I am really not sure asking for help here is really appropriate and for the fact that the angels here have helped so much. I will submit my list again but I do not expect any help any further, I just feel in my heart I need to try for my sons needs at least. Again despite this error , I am very thankful for all of you angels out there and wish everyone a very happy Holiday and and wonderful New year!
I really am embarrassed to be listing the list again due to diapers but here it is-
James Garfield Wish List

I’m sorry that I keep posting but we really need the help. I just keep hoping that someone will see this.
Please I hope I am not too late for this. My children and I just fled our husband and my husband. We’ve been enduring an abusive home environment for 3 years now and I finally decided that enough is enough. I essentially had to leave with nothing and I have very little means to buy my children the appropriate winter clothes let alone gifts.
Fortunately my sister is letting us stay with her until I can get back on my feet. I am sad, I am overwhelmed, I am tired. I don’t know what to do. A woman at the battered women’s program that I go to during the day told me about this page and I can tell from the comments that I am very very late.
Please if anyone can bless me and my kiddos with warm weather clothing and a few Christmas gifts, I would so so appreciate it. I know that it would help make the holidays a little less gloomy for my kids.
I hope I did this wishlist right: http://a.co/aUX29PK
Thank you for doing this wonderful program ❤
Thank you Eva for the play doh and pjs for my daughter! They came today.
Sorry to ask for help again. I posted a few days ago for clothing assistance and at the beginning for toys. A few of the toys weren’t received and sfter reading the comment above, likely not coming. Full disclosure, I’ve been letting a friend “Tiffany” use my Amazon to post a wishlist. Satan lives at Amazon and won’t let me take my name off it. She’s willing to verify her deets with anyone who wants to make sure. I put a few toys on the list because of the missing toys and took off some clothing. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
I posted before about my two kids not getting much for Christmas this year during to lots of medical issues. Someone kindly got all the things on my daughter’s list but my son’s list hasn’t had anything picked. I just don’t want it to be unfair. I’m sorry if this comes across as ungrateful. I promise I’m not. I’m beyond grateful! I just don’t want to see any hurt on his face that day.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/ref=aw_ya_hp_wl
So, slightly different but I just took my daughter’s troop over from a leader who was mismanaging funds and they have no money until after cookie season (We’ll probably get money in the April/May). We live in an area with some income disparities and everyone can’t afford to pitch in. I honestly don’t have the money to front any more than I have. I made a wishlist for my girls. Anything helps them. (Repost)
http://a.co/bGtIZFO
Linda! You are a miracle worker <3 Thank you so so so much, now they will be able to play in the snow. They have been using last years coats but everytime they move the coats ride high enough to show tummy and pull up their arms…so now they can stay fully covered out there making snow angels this winter.
But I have to ask, because I feel terrible. When I went on there to delete the other coats I had listed in case they went out of stock, the grey coat had jumped almost 4x the price it was this morning when I posted….please please please tell me you did NOT pay $83 dollars for it. If you did cancel it for a cheaper one!! It had been fluctuating between 22-25 since I put it on there and my heart sunk when I just looked at Amazon and saw that.
Smallacheivablegoals! I looked earlier and couldn’t believe my eyes. My wish list is empty? I can’t believe it! Then I saw your posting. The joy I already am having is amazing. So so so grateful, my kids will be screaming with joy, you may be able to hear it lol. This program is such a blessing but it’s all of you who selflessly give to others who make it work. I am so thankful to see my miracle happen and will still be watching because it warms my heart Every time I see one made. I love you all. I added Miss Jenny’s “The Blogess” fb page and will be watching it next year in hopes of being an Elf. Much love and Merry Christmas!

It’s not much but it’s a little something. My 12 year old daughter loves to bake too :*
I fell asleep praying for a miracle last night. I just checked my list and saw that some Kick butt Elf had purchased a 1 toy and some clothes for each of my 2 kids. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Yesterday I was at a loss and had no hope of putting even a small present under the tree for my kids. I didn’t even have enough money for diapers and groceries at the store. You all are amazing I will remember this act of kindness for the rest of my day’s. Thank you to the angel who led me here. Not only did you help me out when I was short on funds and embarrassed at the check out, you filled my gas tank which was nearly empty too. Miracles do exist. Santa does exist.
I have gone from wanting to hide under a rock to over filled with Christmas spirit.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Hello Santas and Elves,
Please forgive me for reposting so much. Christmas is so close and I am desperate for a Christmas miracle for my two daughters. I love them so much but times have been rough these past few months and it breaks my heart to think that they will have to suffer for my failure to provide. Please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays.
I recently left my daughters’ father and had to move back home with my parents. I am working and saving so that we can get back on our feet, but right now Christmas is looking unmanageable. My girls are Amelia (12) and Nora (9). They are great kids who really deserve so much more than I can give them. I would really love any help to get them some presents for under the tree. Thank you all so much for everything you do. I truly can’t wait for the day where I am in a position to do so as well, and be on the giving side of things.
My girls are my world and I am so heartbroken at the thought of them having no Christmas.
There are some toys on our wishlist but for my 12 year old daughter, but she really doesn’t have many wants, and she could use new clothes more than anything because she is growing like a weed. If anyone could please consider my family in your search for someone to help for the holidays, it would mean the world to us. ❤
I have made a wishlist for them, at http://a.co/4RePEni
I am sorry to repost, but am gonna beg now and throw myself at you alls mercy…
My niece told me about this, how you saved Christmas for her kids! I know it is probably too late but I thought I would at least try for my own kids. Since taking on my niece and her kids and our medical issues money has been non existant. Ive tapped out all resources. I don’t know what to do. But hope. My kids’ wishes

Liana O. — Thank you so much for getting some things for Ashlyn off her list!!! She will be thrilled they are things she has really wanted but not needed. Merry Christmas to you!
Hoping for a miracle. Putting out the kid’s list one more time. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2LM1TPOAY8PRA
J McGhee- I sympathize with your situation. I wish I could help financially but I can’t 🙁 I wanted to at least offer some advice though. You may be having trouble getting your list fulfilled because some of the items you picked are so expensive. The limit is supposed to be $60 per child, but you have some coats on there that are close to that by themselves. Maybe pick some more reasonably priced items and your kiddos might get what they need? Good luck sweetie, I hope you guys have a good Christmas.
Dawn, I thought it was $100 per child, $60 for winter intems and $40 for toys? Wow maybe I read incorrectly
J McGhee I understood it as a $40 limit, but you could bump it up to a $60 limit if they needed a coat also. Either way, I think it would be easier for people to help if the items are lower in price, and it would help make sure your babies had what they needed <3
J McGhee–No worries, you are correct! It’s $40 in toys and $60 in clothes per child. Your list is quite reasonable considering you have four children. Please don’t feel badly–you aren’t asking for the moon like many other people are!
I wish I could help but I’m tapped out for this year–I send you best wishes for a good 2018.
Our son is 8 and I think we have correctly followed all instructions here. Thank you. The wish list is here: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3QG3DN8QBUYFA

I would like to nominate my son classmate Nickalous R, him and my son attend the same preschool and are autistic. Nickalous is 3 yrs old and enjoys playing outside, he enjoys playing with mickey mouse figurines. Nickalous mother is going through a separation and times have been rough for her, Nickalous mother is unable to buy any christmas gifts being that she does not receive her first check until the week after christmas, I was able to purchase a few small gifts but I am hoping that someone will see this post and decide to bless Nickalous with some items from his wish list. Thank you for your time, Merry Christmas. Nickalous and his Mother live in the USA.

It’s probably too late to add this (I only heard about it yesterday) but have to try for my girl. She loves science and building things (like tinker crate items) and the Night at the Museum movies, but is in desperate need of a new coat and some jeans. I’ve created a list of a coat I think she’d like and a black hoodie she’s been asking for. Thank you to anyone who can help us us this year! She actually knows that I can’t afford to buy her any gifts, but hasn’t uttered a single complaint. So, it would be a nice surprise for her.

I have three teens who love tabletop gaming. and I am hard pressed to keep up with them financially. I would love to be on the giving end one day, but as a single mom in California attending grad school the holidays are tough. (Here’s to getting an amazing job when I finish my degree.)

Hi I’m requesting help with toys and clothes. I posted before and I thought we were good, but some of the items never arrived. Posting again in hopes that it’s not too late. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
J #3515 I am very thankful for your help ! ❤️
Happy holidays !!
This is 3339/3340, posting to Anonymous 3414:
Thank you. 😻❄🎄
You are correct,they are easy to lose. When the school maintains the headphones, it’s not too bad, except that 13 yo boys don’t like to stand out and be different. The ear plugs are invisible and can be worn on the transportation. Which makes them better than the headphones, and prevents meltdowns at home.
You are an angel, and deserve a beautiful, wonderful, holiday season!
It’s okay for the pants to come later, our family has hosted so many children over the years, my bio kids have learned about all the holidays. We’ll add a letter that Santa got confused, and thought we were doing Kwanzaa again this year. I’m sure he’ll be fine with it, one of my older foster kids is also on the spectrum (so a twin soul for my youngest) and the two loved decorating for Kwanzaa together.
This year may be our best Yule, yet. Because our kids have had a reminder about what’s most important, and you have added the icing on top.
My wife and I have been reading these at night, to restore our faith. We are starting a James Garfield Miracle savings account when we get insurance money from the fire. That way, we can join the many angels we have seen here.
Thank you. 💖💖💖
I hope I am not too late. Somebody here just linked me to it. My daughter Sam who is 9 could really use a better christmas her dad passed a few years ago at christmas and it’s been really hard
I am so stupid I forgot to put my link. Sorry. 🙁 I think I put this together right.
http://a.co/cFnlit6
I don’t see a comment about it but I just wanted to say thank you more than you know to whomever bought the coat on our son’s wishlist. We only recently heard of this and didn’t have high hopes when posting here earlier today. The fact that people are still reading this so close to Christmas and that they would spend their hard earned money on a family they don’t even know has just really touched and humbled us. We are going to sleep tonight feeling hopeful about the world for the first time in a while. Thank you for making a difference.
Melissa (3512), the coat you selected has sold out. Can you pick a different color for her (or maybe a different coat as there aren’t a whole lot of options left on in-stock colors of that one)? I hope you’ll see this soon so we can still get it to you by Christmas!
Im so sorry for this last minute wishlist im a busy mother of two, one 8 year old girl and one 15 year old boy with Asperger Syndrome, i meant to post sooner but just could not find the time between school, work and tending to my kids faint needs. I tried to follow the rules to the best of my ability my top needs would be the jacket for my son and the umbrella for my daughter. Happy Holidays and God Bless

Ena, the sweatshirt for niece is going to be a little late (it’s estimated to arrive sometime between the 27th and 2nd), but I really wanted her to have the Minnie so her cousin would feel like they both got part of a set. I feel bad that it looks like she’ll be the only one without a present on Christmas Day, so hopefully you can wrap some kind of fancy “your gift is the on the way” for her!

Don’t worry, I bought the coat at the right time, it was much less than it is currently. Merry Christmas!

Hi Colin, 3509 and 3521, I ordered the coat last night. This morning I went back to see if there was some other little item I could get to there would be something fun for him, but your list was empty. Merry Christmas.
hi lenny42079, Hi! this is Wendy/Smallachievablegoals, I just wanted to let you know it wasn’t me who got your son’s coats and computer casing. I was keeping an eye on your list, but hadn’t figured out if i could swing the larger purchase. But honestly, I was so, so, so thrilled that your boys got their wishes. I don’t know what Santa made the purchase, but I didn’t want them to think I was taking credit. Merry, merry Christmas, I hope you and your boys have a wonderful day and new year!

Yesterday I was in an accident on my way to work. luckily I am fine, but my car has seen better days. the young man slid threw the stop sign and smashed my front tire off. My car is older so I don’t have collision coverage. It is going to cost me over 1200 to repair the damage and get my car back on the road. Their goes the money for my January rent and my kids Christmas. I have time to find help with the rent but it is too late to expect help for Christmas. I have put together a short list for my 2 daughters in hopes that an elf can help me out.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1D03B19TOY059

Dave, 3501, someone else purchased part of your wishlist, and I ordered the socks, Flying Dragons, and tank tops. Unfortunately, the Flying Dragons and one of the socks is going to be more of a New Year’s gift.
Good Morning I Hope I am not to late with Christmas being right around the corner. Yesterday my best friend told me about this blog after she saw me at my worse as I broke down in tears regarding my current situation and my children not being able to have a Christmas. About 3 months ago I was injured at work after falling and landing the wrong way on my feet. I thought I was fine but turns out I wasn’t. I was out of work on doctors orders. After my follow up appointment my doctor told me I had to have surgery as my bones did not heal correctly and I also had a bump on my ankle that came out of no were. Two weeks ago I had to have surgery on my foot and I’m currently still off work. Due to being off work I had to using my savings to keep up with bills. I am a single mother of three child Trell 3, Quita 14, and Bria 4. It breaks my heart to know that my two youngest continues to check for gifts under the tree every day and ask why Santa hasn’t come yet. I have be able to come up with something as to why he hasn’t come yet but now I am stuck. Christmas is this coming Monday and I absolutely have nothing to put under the tree for them. I am hoping that my friend is right and that I will be able to be blessed by someone/people in this group that can bless my children with gifts. They are great child’s and like all others deserve to be happy on Christmas. If anyone can help me I would More than appreciate it. I have posted my Childrens list below. Thank you I will try and remain strong and hope for the best.

Just wanted to add that even if it is too late for my family. I am amazed by the the generosity of all the elves, reindeer and penguins around here.
I’ve been reading all the comments on here and it has brought tears to my eyes. It is amazing to see all the gratitude expressed. Thank you to Jenny and all the elves for making Christmas possible for so many children.
Thank you so much to whoever bought my daughter Nella the hoodie from her list! She’s obsessed with the tv show Mr. Robot and a plain black hoodie is what Elliot wears, so of course, she wants one. She’ll be thrilled to receive it! (This is Melissa from my original post – the site has since signed me in under my pen name) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/R99OD0NH2UYQ?&sort=default
From Erech, Davis, and EJ we would like to thank the very kind generous soul who helped to make our Christmas so special. My kids have little to no expectations to receive much of anything and they understand that we simply can’t afford much. This will be such an amazing and uplifting joy for them and for me as well. I’d love to know who my “Secret Santa” is so I can be sure you received my thank you. I’d love a way to show you my children and their joyous moments Xmas morning. I’m on FB, Erech Lenchert, or my email tho not sure I should post that lol. Ty so much. Lots of love and best wishes to you and yours. <3

The umbrella and a jacket are on their way (I thought that the outerwear one would be most practical, as you can pop a sweater on underneath).
Sent with love at Christmas x
Hi Reginald (post 3513), you need to include a shipping address or we can’t send your gifts. I hope you see this so you can make the addition!
Karen One-of-Santa’s-Many-Elves – You were right; I needed to have some patience… the shirt came yesterday. Thank you so much, he’s going to love it!
To all of our other angels – the other items have all arrived, so thank you, thank you! I’ve sent thank you notes through Amazon when I could, but some of the things didn’t come with the little slip that has the code to scan to send one. Hugs and blessings to all of you.

beffydee 3546,
Thank you so much for your help. It is a huge relief knowing that my girls will each have 1 gift from Santa on Christmas. My neighbor is giving me a ride to work while my car is out of commission, and is the one who told me about the James Garfield miracle. I will be sure to tell her the great news on the way.
Bless you for helping my family. Is there anything I can do to repay you for ypur kindness.
Eternally Grateful,
Malinda
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH! to the folks who completed my list. I will be forever thankful! I’m in tears omg thank you.
Earlier I tried posting from my phone but it didn’t post correctly and auto correct went wild so I’ll try again now that I’m on a computer. I’m a single father to an amazing 8 year old named Carson. Since I’ve been an outdoorsmans my whole life Carson takes after his dad and likes playing outside. Since he obviously can’t play with real guns and bows I would like for him to have his own bow and gun in toy form. Recently I’ve become unemployed due to an accident that broke the metatarsal bone in my foot requiring 3 plates and another surgery down the road due to an infection so I’m short on funds this Christmas. I would appreciate any help I could get. Merry Christmas and thank you!!!

I’m late to the party this year….but I’ve shipped a few things. Some may not arrive til next week, but if it was a NEED, it’s going anyway.
I hate Christmas. But Y’all make this Grinch almost want to believe in something….and I do believe in you!
Melissa, post 3512
Nella’s coat is on it’s way. I’m afraid that it’ll arrive a few days after Christmas. But she’ll be warm for the New Year at least! Sent with love… x

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1KC3NZARPO6JA
Any chance you could tweak your list a little? It’s kinda long with quite a few higher price items, which is possibly the reason for no givers as yet. I’m not sure how to navigate it well enough so that each of your kids gets something. Could you strip it down a touch? Maybe add names or ‘boy, 12’ in the notes or something…?
Hope it helps. Merry Christmas!
Malinda, post 3552.
You’re a sweetheart! The only thing I want from you is to love those kids fiercely at Christmas and always! Then in future, when you’re in a different place, remember this and pay it forward…
<3 <3 <3
Beffydee 3545 Thank you sooooo much… Also a big thanks to the other person who helped. Yesterday was tears of fear and disappointing my kids. Today these are tears of joy… Thank you
beffydee,
My girls are my life, I promise to continue to love them as fiercely as ever. It will be a small Christmas this year but we have our health and eachother. Which is a blessing as I’ve seen so many familys struggling with health issues.
No worries I will be sure creating a new savings account specifically for giving back next year. I am up for a promotion in a few months and expect to be in a much better place next year. I will pay it forward here and every chance I have.
THANK YOU WENDY AND WHOEVER ELSE FINISHED OFF OUR LIST! BLESS YOU AND YOU HAVE THANK YOUS FROM THE KIDS COMING
@ JP Lester:
Toys should arrive on Friday, puffer coat on Saturday. Merry Christmas to you and your son, from a momma of two boys (my older one is also eight) who TOTALLY understands.
Hi, I would like help for 4 kids. I’m a single mom who is out of work due to a disability and health issues have made this a hard year. I requested for my kids before and we got some of the toys and clothes. A few of them didn’t arrive. I contacted Amazon and they were cancelled. I already feel like I ruined the holiday. Can you please help with a few toys per child? I put mostly $10-25 items and clothing for my 4 year old is on another list. Thank you for helping! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B
I’m so sorry I missed this…I have been ill and am only now getting back on my feet….So. Am I seeing that there is nothing left?
If so, I’ve never been so happy.
it is so amazing that there are still people gifting this close to Christmas day. It makes me want to believe in real miracles. things have been so tough, but maybe now they will get better
http://a.co/cFnlit6
Sam really likes to draw, to read and is totally in love with the flash tv show.
Seriously,
It is nice to see the gratitude form struggling familys thankful to have just one small gift per child. Then you have these greedy scammers like Whitley Post 3528. Beffy you are too kind. This person has over 300 in gift cards alone. Multiple items for over $80 including a kuerig. I’m sure that is for your child. Did you even read the guidelines. Please help a family that is actually in need and grateful.
Whitley you are in the wrong place. Please remove yourself and stop begging for help you don’t need.
What a joke.
Whoa, I don’t think there’s a need to get quite so huffy about her list. It’s pretty clear that she used an existing wish list that she’s been adding to all year, probably for her entire family. Maybe she even thought she was creating a new list, and just had trouble navigating Amazon’s system, and accidentally just renamed the existing one. There’s no need to immediately attribute to malice something that could just as easily be explained by simple mistakes.
Yes, she obviously didn’t follow the guidelines, which she should have, and should correct it. But I don’t think that necessarily incites that amount of vitriol, when a gentle reminder would work just as well, if not better!
Jesse, or shall I say Whitley.
All of the items have been added to that list in the last week… please this place is for children not selfish adults.
Your 1st posted your wish list the 8th. In total that list was posted 12 times. Yet Their not a single gift showing as purchased, and you have changed your name and story multiple times. Please go away you have already stolen Chrismas from enough kids. Just curious as to where you plan on putting a keurig, since you are homeless. please leave
hope im not to late for a little Christmas help http://a.co/cJId1Oh
i think i posted wrong http://a.co/dKODzG9 pls santa help my kiddo
3570 and 3571–Your list has been fulfilled. Most items will arrive by the 22nd, but the pants and water bottle won’t be there until the 28th.
Merry Christmas!
I truly believe that calling people out is wrong. Especially if you have no concrete evidence as to what
you are talking about. It’s Christmas. Spread some cheer and do it with your whole heart. Worrying about things out of your control is a waste of time. Do some good and move along.
Claudine, calling out scammers is “doing some good”, and it’s within the control of the community. There are obvious issues with some posters. I think everyone is getting the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise. They do leave evidence, and they are causing harm by eating up resources that could have helped others who truly are in need. I think getting the gifts into the hands of kids is what’s important, and it’s reasonable to expect everyone to follow the rules so as many people are helped as possible. No one who tries to take advantage of this program deserves a pass, and giving them one only hurts those who genuinely are asking for help.
If you, personally, want to gift someone hundreds of dollars, then do it. Don’t call out the Santas, Elves and Penguins who are doing their level best to make a happy holiday for others, and who do not want to be taken advantage of while doing so.
You have your opinion, and I have mine. And if you look back- Jenny had hers. I’m guessing that is the one that counts since this is her blog. She said something very similar to what I said. You don’t know what you don’t know. Again, do some good and move along because all of us obsessing over this is taking the concentration off of the remaining families that need our help. I’ve spent just as much money as the next person. It is what it is.
Please stop bringing the negativity, Claudine. You’re right, you don’t know what you don’t know. If you don’t mind lining the pockets of dishonest people, well, what can I say? You are a better person than I am. Personally, I just want every child to be warm and have a gift.
Also, Jenny listed guidelines. Several times. So, yes, her opinion should carry some weight and people should make their lists accordingly and not delete purchased items.
I have done some good, and I will, as you suggest so charmingly, “move along”.
Merry Christmas.
Hi everybody. I know I’m late to this.. so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I am a mother of 3 girls (Camille, Diane and my youngest Trinity) and I am experiencing a divorce after 15 1/2 years of marriage that was emotionally, mentally and financially abusive. I had little to no control of our finances, my ex was manipulative and just a horrible person to all of us towards the end. In November the girls and I moved out into a small apartment and it’s been really hard on the girls to be away from their home school, friends and neighborhood in this cramped apartment. I thought I was doing some good by moving us all out but it has seemed to cause even more depression in my kids.
On top of all of this, on October 11th my Mother suffered a heart attack and stroke. I’m a full time working mother in school, (trying to stay a float), I prep my mothers meals weekly, and it’s been a roller coaster. Due to it all, my finances have taken a complete hit.

Please be a blessing to our family if you can! I promise to pay it forward when I can!!
This blog is an amazing thing ! My list is almost fulfilled ! My original post is #3519 if anyone wants to help with the last 2 items which are coats for my girls I will be very grateful !! Happy holidays once again everyone ! Torres Family Wish List

Is there someone left for my 4 month old, I know im late, so its okay she is young enough to not know but I thought I would try, just came across this http://a.co/dsPixqQ
Claudine — I appreciate folks flagging potential scammers here. I’m a grown up and can take that information and decide what to do myself. I would rather donate to families that have gotten less, and people pointing out people that have gotten a lot already helps me out on that front.
I don’t know what kind of “concrete evidence” you expect folks to have. It’s not a court, it’s a webpage. I will say the wish list that was questioned has been deleted now, and you can draw whatever conclusions you want from that, as can everyone else.
I hope you take a deep breath though, and stop attacking other commenters. You made your point.
Hi Cortne Mckinney at 3577–You aren’t late at all.
You already posted this exact same story (except now you have another kid) under the name Carmen McBride #3213 on December 15th. That list has miraculously disappeared so no one can tell what was bought. You are now asking for some pretty hefty price tagged toys. What happened to all the things you got from the previous list that was under another name?
Here they are, side by side:

Hi
I am in need of support. This year has been very overwhelming for me. In September I filed for divorce after 15 1/2 years of and emotional, mental and financially abusive marriage, then on October 11th my Mother suffered a heart attack and stroke. I’m a full time working mother in school, (trying to stay a float), I have a 9 year old beautiful daughter in 3rd grade and a son in college (I’m proud of him), I prep my mothers meals weekly, and it’s been a roller coaster. Due to it all, my finances have taken a complete hit. I love check by check in the negative. However, I’m in therapy (with insurance) and will continue with the divorce. This has had a negative effect on my daughter, however my focus daily is to keep her at peace and happy. I want to begin to live again and give my daughter a new start. She’s super excited about putting up the tree this weekend. I don’t have any way to get my baby girl any gifts for Christmas. I usually am the one giving but this time I’m in need of help.
Thank you and God Bless.
http://a.co/dlYoVVT
Attacking? I never attacked, I only had a difference in opinion. How about you all stop trolling this page
and let’s all work together and help more families. That’s what it all comes down to. That’s literally all I’m saying.
Claudine —
Do not call me a troll. That’s an attack. I’ve been fulfilling wishlists for weeks.
Taylor, #1241- I hope your son enjoys his coat 🙂 Sorry that it won’t arrive until after the New Year but I hope it can keep him warm.
Hugs all around, guys. We all want the same thing- good Christmases for a bunch of awesome kids. My family was one that was helped so much by this blog, and I was able to tell people about it that were also struggling. It’s been such a blessing. There’s always going to be some assholes that try to take advantage, but they’re easy to spot. I hope the rest of the people that genuinely need to help are able to get their lists knocked out 🙂 Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you so much to everyone who donated to my family and people I know in need.
Some lists I noticed that still have a few things left thst didnt go over their limit-
Abilene 3519 2 kids, 2 items left
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/BRB0QP87IOIJ
LissaDickensheets 3543- 1 kid, 1 item left-
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/R99OD0NH2UYQ?&sort=default
Praying for a miracle 3535- 2 kids, 1 item left

Rosalva Jaramillo 3511 1 kid, 3 items left

Ena 3412 7 kids, 7 items left
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
I hope that makes it easier for you angels that are still looking to spread a blessing. I’m sure there are more but I was short on time. Merry Christmas!
Our entire wishlist has been fulfilled and we don’t have the words to tell you what it means to our little family. Thank you for making Christmas possible for us. Much love to you all!
Hi I’m looking for help for 4 kids. Some of the items never arrived. I spoke with Amazon and they were cancelled. Thank you for helping and happy holidays! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B
Was worried about a few items since they took a week but the things that were bought from my wishlist have now been received safe and sound. Thanks again. 🙂
Hi! Trish from OG post 3163- I’ve never had to do anything like this and I really didn’t expect my list to be fulfilled but it was and both of my kids will receive 3 books and a sweater, my son will receive a new beanie and my daughter a new anime comic, im excited! I’d like to add that as a person who needed help for gifts it is discouraging watching someone you know is a scammer get their lists fulfilled, it’s saddening to know the spirit of Christmas is being taken advantage of but being that I was one in need and not the one giving I felt it was not my place to call them out so I definitely appreciate those who did. At the end of the day karma is real and unfortunate for those who think it is okay to take from other kids to give more expensive items to their own kids or take from other kids by creating multiple lists to be fulfilled or take from other kids with items that are not for their children but for themselves rather. I hope to return next year (ifJenny permits this wonderful miracle to have a 9th year) as an elf, to allow some amazing parent to feel how I feel today, knowing that my kids will have gifts when just last week I was unsure and desperate. Anyway, thank you so much you are all wonderful kind hearted individuals and it will all come back your way🎁 Thank you thank you thank you.
I didn’t see the latest comments here until after my last post so I wanted to say a specific thank you to Wendy for the coat! We also woke up to find the list empty so thank you also to all the anonymous helpers. You’ve all made our holidays something to look forward to rather than something to endure. <3
And now for something different? I don’t have any kids, but I do foster cats and the occasional dog year round for a local no kill shelter. As you can imagine we go through lots of toys and supplies especially when an animal gets attached to a particular toy. I know its not for an actual kid, but these are my babies while they are in my house and every little bit helps so I thought I would try. If you want to help out some animals my wishlist is here http://a.co/1xUrg2r
Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Melissa/LissaDickensheets, someone else actually got to the coat after you updated it, before I had a chance to check back this afternoon. It truly is amazing to see this happen each year!
And it’s funny that your daughter wants the the hoodie because of Mr. Robot. All black zip-up hoodies are now “Elliot” hoodies to me, and that was even how I thought of that one when I was buying it for her! That’s an awesome show, and your daughter obviously has great taste. 😀
Posting again for my baby, I think it got lost in between the people arguing earlier. If there is anyone left that can help. Merry Christmas even if you can’t he is young enough to not really know.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1YCNRC2PQU2VX
We had a family move in last night. A single mom with a teen daughter, twin 4 year olds and a 1 year old. They were displaced due to a domestic issue that led to them having to flee their home. I told her to make a list and we would see if a miracle could happen . I know its late in the game and that Santa has done so much for our little community. I also know reindeer mat not be able to get it here right on time. But here is to hope.
#3556 Beffydee – Thank you so much for Nella’s coat! I have such weird training hours, so I’m missing everything until late at night. I just know she’s going to love it no matter when it comes in. And, that she’ll likely still be on school break, she can go back in style!
Jesse – That’s my “little” weirdo! She’s the one who actually got ME into Mr. Robot! lol I can truly breath a sigh of relief. Functional stuff she needs as well as stuff she wants! Thank you so much!
I am over joyed that all but 1 item on my list was purchased!!! thank you to all the elves. I will be sure to come back next year and spread some Christmas Cheer.
Stephanie P, #2359, I’m not sure if you have been back, but I got a notice that there may be an issue with your address?
Going to post our link again in hopes that it’s not too late. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B ps, Lisa huge Mr Robot fan here.
To Jesse, thank you so much for the sweater for my son! He will love it! And thank you Santa for the beanie they both arrived today and were the last items I was waiting for now time to wrap everything up! 🎁 the dread and despair are gone washed away by the kindness of perfect strangers. Merry Christmas everybody!
Thank you whoever got our new family a few items! Each kiddo will have something to unwrap. I looked at their list (didn’t before posting sorry!) And wanted to explain the teen wants a tablet to read. They had to leave almost everything behind including her tablet with her books. If she gets a replacement she can redownload them. I will also go label better which item is for which twin. Thank you for whoever got each kiddo a toy. Thank you!
Little House on the Corner, 3601, the boy pajamas and the wagon, and totoro pajamas can’t arrive before Christmas. Is that an issue?
No not at all. Christmas is …. Extended around here. We all celebrate when we have the means. Days later isnt unheard of. Some moms are still getting custody or have shared custody so Christmas lasts awhile in our little corner of the world
Hi i am Original post #3523, thank you so much to those who blessed my son and daughter with gifts! I am extremely grateful! All but one item was purchased from my kids list it means so much to me! Thank you and happy holidays!
I don’t know if I am allowed to re-paste my daughter’s wish list. We have received books and some games, but we are still struggling to obtain some winter-type clothes. If you can help, great. If not, you are still so thanked for what has been given already!

Hi, I’m a single mom who would be very grateful for help with toys for 4 kids. People bought items from their lists, and then some of them didn’t arrive. I called Amazon and there was a cancelled order. Any help will be appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B
Maria
I appreciate your honesty that “some” of the toys previously purchased failed to arrive due to canceled orders. It seems odd to me that their shows NO purchased items on your list. Did you delete them from your list, it makes it seem as though you are not as transparent as you are claiming. Jenny’s guidelines clearly state to not delete your items from your wish list.
After searching threw this list looking for a REAL family in need I am saddened that It is run a muck with Greed. Maria/TIffany/ Or is it Margo Smith. You have posted under multiple names with several wish lists that have been deleted Please take what you have already gained and leave. You are a scammer.
Hi anonymous, I made a new list because the old list has the items purchased but the order was cancelled. I called Amazon and they don’t know what happened. I can answer any questions you have. As an aside, I’m asking for cheap items, not loading up on consoles, tablets or any crazy stuff. I saw a woman ask for a PlayStation, a socalled single father with 6 wishlists and a person asked for a keurig. Let alone the person with 300 in gift cards. I’ve asked for books and toys, and clothes on a separate list. Please don’t drag me into anything. Beside beds, I can count the number of furniture in my house on one finger. I use diaper boxes as tables and I’m barely hanging on most of the time. Each new things pulls one of my fingers off the ledge I’m hanging on. Please don’t impede me from getting help. Fear of looking like a scammer is why I made a new list. It looked like I was trying to get more. Thanks.
Tiffany is a friend. If you need you can speak with her. I can put her in contact with Jenny. I mentioned her above in another post. She was helped last year and I posted for her again this year. Would you like to speak with her? She had a simple list and once the kids had a toy and a piece of clothes she was good. The list isn’t deleted just private.
Merry Christmas everyone! I just wanted to try and post my link again before I head off to work.
http://a.co/hwyHGjc
Have a great day!
Dear Anonymous, (3607&3608) I know it is disheartening to come across scamming, greedy people. But please don’t let that stop you or anyone else with helping children and families in need. I have been sending gifts for two years via the James Garfield miracle and through other sites. And while it saddens me that it is possible that some are scammers, I would not want the miracle to stop. I truly believe you get out of life what you put into it. Greedy people will not be rewarded in the end. I do not know how they live with the guilt of taking what other people so desperately need but I do believe they are not truly happy people. I do not have a problem with people calling out scammers if they have the proof, it may help people with finding children/families that are truly in need. We shouldn’t let anger or dismay stop us from being good, kind people. Who knows? Maybe someone will change when they realize the damage they do by lying and cheating. Don’t give up, there are plenty of good, kind people struggling to have some kind of Christmas for their children. All of us can and should make a difference. Even if all someone can do is wish someone else a happy holiday. Linda
Hey guys, this request is a little bit different, but they are still my babies, so I have to try! I foster cats and occasionally a dog here or there for a local no kill shelter. With the constant in and out of animals it gets expensive keeping toys in stock as each one gets adopted they normally leave with a favorite toy or two.
While they aren’t human babies – they are all my fur babies while they are in my home, and any and all help would be appreciated <3
http://a.co/1xUrg2r
Linda as I said to anonymous, I asked for myself and helped a friend post. I was honest about that and even referenced that above when I said Amazon was run by Satan because I couldn’t take my name off her list. I’m going to make her list public so you can see. She lives two hours away which is a long way to travel for a hat, headphones, girl boots and a barbie. I can barely afford the bus to the dentist let alone get to her.
Here is her list. We met in the shelter and remain friends. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR
Maria, What I said was not aimed at your or anyone accused of scamming. I just didn’t want anyone able to give to stop because some people that may be greedy or not honest. What does sadden me is that it may prevent someone able to help from doing so. I am sorry if you felt that what I said was an accusation against you. Linda
It’s ok Linda. It saddens me too. This is why I wanted my friend to make her own list. It looks bad.
Linda,
I would love to know more about the other lists you donate to. Maybe they have I better way of weeding out the scammers.
Maria,
I would love to believe your story, but with all the greed on here I would prefer to spend what little I have to spare on a family that has followed the posted guidelines. I hope you have a better year and wish you the best of luck.
Posting one last time with an up to date list as a hail mary (had to remove out of stock and no longer on sale items once again). Everything should now be between 4$-9$ (Except for the Humidifier which isn’t really a toy but should make the winter time a bit more hospitable) Hopefully that’s alright? If not I can remove it. Kind people have already picked up some clothes and books for the boys off this wishlist so I’d recommend scrolling past this post to ones above that haven’t had any items bought yet. <3
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3LC8UURO23IOO
Anonymous 3618- for one, thank you for being willing to help and I’m sorry your spirit has been dampened. I agree, when I was trying to scroll through and help put together a list of families that still need a few things, the vast majority of lists I clicked on were way above the limit, and some just kind of ridiculous, requesting only name brand things and such. I was someone whose entire list was filled. I wish i could help. It sucks that people take advantage of suck a wonderful thing. Here’s my post from above, a few people that seemed to genuinely need the help-
Some lists I noticed that still have a few things left thst didnt go over their limit-

Josh 2801, I had children that needed a humidifier when they were growing up so I absolutely believe it belonged on your list. The books and humidifier are on their way. According to Amazon, they will be there on Saturday, the 23rd. Linda
Lisa #3594 / #3611 – I’ve bought some stuff for your baby, but it won’t arrive until December 29th. Sorry it’ll be late, but Merry Christmas! xoxoxo
Jennifer – #3592 / #3613 – Furbabies definitely count! A present is on the way. Looks like it won’t make it until after the 25th, but Merry Christmas!! xoxoxo
Magda – #3519/20, #3565 – some gifts for Sam are on the way – looks like they’ll arrive on the 23rd. Merry Christmas!!
Annie #3605 – scarf and gloves are on the way!
A gift I purchased early on appears to be lost, and I can’t find the original post. Just a note to suggest gifters jot down the name and post number they ordered from in case of this event. (I have name, but not the post, and I don’t know what name they posted under). I’m not sure what to do now, if the gift is lost, and no way to tell the requestor. The gift was a dvd and doll clothes.
Thank you so much to the elf who sent Harmony a winter coat! It is very much appreciated, Merry Christmas!
I’ve been trying to post my wish list for this year but it is not allowing me to put the link to my wish list, what am I doing wrong?
I have a 15 yr old son and have myb3 Granddaughters ages 3 yrs, 2 urs and almost 5 months old
Here is my original post, if anyone could find it possible to help me out, even if things are a little bit late they would be greatly appreciated! I keep getting the message that there is no post to link to?
I have a 15 year old son and have custody of my three GrandAngels ages 3 years, 2 years and 4 months (all girls) I have posted several requeststo give options for anyone who might want to help us out. I requested the breast milk storage bags because I have a breast milk donor (due to under developed stomach baby cannot digest formula) and I’d like to help provide some bags for her

Linda #3621 thank you so much! The books were all 4.5 stars and different enough to have a nice spread so that’s great. Also the humidifier not being a “toy” thing felt weird but I’m sure they’ll get more out of waking up feeling good every day over any toy. I skimmed through and saw this one had enough water space for 1 full day, was quiet, had the aroma thing and had a night light which was everything I was looking for AND was 60% off. I hope you have a great Christmas because these boys surely will be having a much better one now.
Firstly, I huge Thank you to the elves that have purchased the some items from my list. I have been busy working and this is the 1st chance I have had to check my wish list. I see that one of the items for Danny has more than doubled in price and is now over $40 CRAZY, it was 15 when I added it. I have added a cheaper set but left the
LEGO DUPLO Town Backhoe Loader 10811 Construction Toy
on the list so you could see that I was not just adding items and trying to scam by or come off as greedy. DO NOT BUY THAT SET. talk about price gauging….
My daughter has 2 toys purchased and my son only has 1. If there are any elves that could help out so they receive the same amount of toys I would greatly appreciate it. This is a wonderful place to be and for the most part reading the comments is up lifting.
I am over the moon with Joy by the kindness and Christmas spirit here.

Just a quick update the mail man just dropped off the shirts and underwear for Katie. Thank you so much, I AM SO HAPPY!!! I have presents to wrap!!! Fingers crossed the reindeer will find their way with Doll and block set soon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Little House on the Corner – I sent the tablet for the new family’s teen. It meant it was the only thing I could send them but her not having access to her books resonated with me. For a kid under stress, reading is a great way to escape for a while. Hope she enjoys it
Karen Light – sent a couple of toys for your little grls
Annie – sent the pink hood
Lori, the Duplo sets won’t be in stock until after Christmas…is there an alternative?
Little House on the Corner…same for yours…the items for the teen won’t get there in time…Alternatives?
maybe if I gofund the medical chair my aunt needs it wouldn’t be too big for 1 person…
I know this is an unusual request. My aunt has a problem with her rear end, she isnt supposed to sit with pressure on it. The doctor told her to get a kneeling chair. But its not an actual medical device so insurance doesnt cover it. Now that shes taken in my family, she can’t afford the chair.
I was hoping someone would help me get it for her (its on sale and has a coupon even!)
I just feel so bad that she needs this and Im why she doesnt have it.

Hi folks! I just saw this thread/post today, and before I skim through all 3600+ comments again, can anyone tell me right off the bat if someone has not been fulfilled?
I’ve been watching this page every day since the 10th when a friend from work told me she had signed up. I lay in bed at night and just scroll and read and it is absolutely amazing. I didn’t think I would need to be here asking for anything or I would’ve posted 10 days ago. My ex told me to go ahead and use my check for rent and he would make sure the baby had a Christmas. Well here’s a shocker…. apparently 16 month olds don’t need Christmas lol. I have $11 left over from my check until next Wednesday BUT my bills are paid and there is food in my apartment. I don’t know if it’s even possible to still sign up and get anything but I made a quick list for him and all I can do is hope. If it’s too late that’s ok and I understand. I will still continue to read and be blessed following all these awesome stories! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Kritter check out post #3620 they linked to 5 lists that still need help. I don’t know if they’ve been filled or not I just remember seeing it earlier when I posted. Hope that helps 🙂
Anonymous- our teen girl got a tablet the rest of the family’s needs are more ‘important’ right now. I added a case for her since things get moved a lot around here and a tote bag so there is not more grocery bags but that’s it ❤ there is a couple of toys for siblings and some ‘needs’ towels etc on the list. ❤Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1YCNRC2PQU2VX
To my Secret Santa in post #3584 bless you sooooooooooooooo veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery much for the coat!!!! We will receive it warmly whenever it comes!!!!
Anonymous #3634
Anything duplo or compatible would be fine. I have to lower priced sets on the wish list besides the outragous set that jumped in price. Did you check both of them, it say’s in stock???
Katie is very insistent that Santa will bring them the same amount of toys. If it’s too late I can wrap both her presents together, hopefully she won’t catch on.
Elizabeth, couple things on the way.
Merry Christmas.
Hello Elizabeth 3638! I fulfilled two of your items (clothing), but it said that the other two items may have already been purchased. Please let me know if your settings are correct? Would hate for the other things not to arrive if no one ordered them already. Be happy, be well. 🙂
LissaDickensheets 3543, your last item is on its way. Have a ridiculously awesome Christmas! Be happy, be well. 🙂
Lori, Duplo on the way…
Merry Christmas
House on the Corner, 2 bags on the way…(I stuck with those things that would get there before Christmas)…I hope they have a good Christmas.
Holy cow you guys are amazing!!! I just laid down to nurse the baby and started scrolling in here like always and my list was filled that quickly. I can’t even believe this!!!!! I don’t know how to say thank you enough! My mind is absolutely blown right now! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lori, So sorry, the Duplo wasn’t due to arrive until after the holidays, so disregard the post above.. Even though Amazon says it’s in stock, doesn’t mean that it’s in stock for before Christmas.
If you could straighten out your list, I can make sure that they will both get the same amount BEFORE Christmas. Not sure how to add an item of my choosing onto your wishlist??? So I’ll leave it up to you to add what you want. (Just check the “arrive by” date)…
Thank you so much! Teen girl is taken care of. We took towels off that werent in time for christmas. Each kiddo has a blanket (1 for the twins since they sleep under 1 anyways) and the littles have a toy left. Tha Nm you everyone for helping this little tribe!

Karen Light 3628, your link has been in several of your posts. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. I bought a few items off your list yesterday. Most should arrive tomorrow, except for the shirt for you son, which should arrive on Saturday. Merry Christmas!
Anonymous I completely understand. I got an unexpected money today and I can cover the toys myself. I’ll be removing my list but want to keep Tiffany’s up. They’re a great family and she needs the help. Especially the gloves for Tye. He travels far in the cold. Thank you for helping them. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR
I want to send a special thanks out to Mrs. Chill and the other Christmas fur-Angel out there that sent gifts to my furbabies. It means a lot to me and keeps them fed, clean and occupied. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Oh, and don’t worry that they will be late because they can’t read a calendar and will appreciate it anytime. Thanks again. Jennifer 3613/3592

Josh, Darth Vader and Fidget thingys on the way…(other items would not have made it before Christmas…sorry)
Anonymous,
I found a duplo people set will arrive Saturday and added it to my list.
Thank you for helping Santa this year.
Little House, 3 blankets ordered for your new family. They won’t arrive until the end of next week, but that just means they get more of a Christmas week than a Christmas day! 🙂
Thank you very much 3655! Jacob is going to love the action figure and I hope those fidget cubes live up to the hype. Also thanks for letting me know about the nerf guns not getting there before Christmas I’ll replace them on the list with something else around 12$ just in case.
Dawn S, 3420, I just got notified that the floral outfit for your baby has been delayed because they “were unable to load the package on the plane as scheduled” (I have no clue how in the world that happens…). It says it will be delivered on the next business day, but since it was originally scheduled for tomorrow, the next business day will be Tuesday. 🙁 I’m really hoping that since this was a problem on UPS’s end, they’ll make it right by delivering it on Saturday, but it seems likely that this might not make it in time for Christmas.
Jesse thank you!!!
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1YCNRC2PQU2VX
The elves and Santa are making this transition so much easier for them. That means the only things left are the hygiene item, hats for the 2 girls, and toys for the little. You all are amazing! Having a blanket that is yours makes home so much more tangible, as does not keeping things out in the open (totes) and having your own play things. You have now done this for all our families here. Everyone believes in Santa this year
Thank you for sorting that out Lori. It’s on the way
Is all equal, now? LMN…
Hey guys, a friend of mine has a son that is a Marine stationed out at Quantico and this is his first Christmas away from home, I know his mom sent him a pair of pajama pants and a tshirt, but she couldn’t afford to buy and send him a full Christmas and was feeling pretty bad. So I thought I would throw out a small wishlist for him with some jerky and stuff in case anyone was able to help him out.
I really don’t know how much room he has there on base, so I tried to stick to smaller things, feel free to do something different if you are familiar with barracks living? I just know he likes Captain America and jerky…lol Just wanted to do something nice for him. Im sending him a few other small things but his mom is so worried about him being so far away and not having family there.
http://a.co/4rJaFgs
Dave, #3447, I bought the socks, flying dragons, and socks for your family. I just got an email that the men’s socks aren’t available after all, something about the third party vendor’s inventory system. I’m going to see what other option I can find.
Good Evening everyone, original post #3458/3499 just wanted to post again in case there is anyone who can get the last few items from my list the link is http://a.co/hwyHGjc
A big big thank you to Mrs_Chill #3622, and anyone else who bought things on there. I don’t know how to tell who purchased what. Don’t worry that they won’t arrive until the 29th! He is too young to notice the difference as well. I can’t wait to see him in the clothes and let him play with his new toys, he is just now really starting to explore and learn how to play with things!
Wendy- no worries, stuff happens.I appreciate the effort! It means a lot.
I swapped socks out for a pair of slippers if anyone is able to send them to my boy.

We just got a delivery of one of the cancelled toys. Not sure what’s going on and going to call again. Wanted to say thank you for helping us and happy holidays.
I’m so glad to see the blessings still flowing 🙂 my list was all fulfilled by amazing people, and I posted a little while back about some lists I had noticed that still needed to be filled. Two of those have, here are the three remaining.
Some lists I noticed that still have a few things left thst didnt go over their limit-
Abilene 3519 2 kids, 2 items left
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/BRB0QP87IOIJ
Rosalva Jaramillo 3511 1 kid, 3 items left

I hope that makes it easier for you angels that are still looking to spread a blessing. I’m sure there are more but I was short on time. Merry Christmas!
My 1st post was on the 3113 . I am beyond grateful for all the help I have received. Re posting here to see if their is any elfs that are able to send the Snow boots for Justin, and the snow pants for Nathan. They love to play outside, but are lacking some important gear. They would love to have them as we are expecting more snow on Christmas eve.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2Z5NEZJLN2LF8
Josh…hope you check back here…Just got notification that Darth cannot attend for the 25th but will be there the 27th…Sends his regrets.
Let us know if you want to add another item for the oldest so he has the same amount as others, okay? I’ll do what I can.
Malinda, the mittens estimated delivery is 12/27-1/2. So they will be late, but the Panda family, personal care items and canvasses will be arriving tomorrow by 8 (I have no idea if you get the same information that I do, so letting you know.)
Best of Christmasses to you…

Update*** My husband and I work together and today at work he fell to the ground and was in extreme pain. I rushed him to the hospital and they told him he had a kidney stone or in their words “we’re going to treat this as a kidney stone.” We arrived home about an hour ago and recieved a call and they said he needs to see a urologist asap because he has an adrenal mass. What more could really happen this year. 🙁 I just wanted to say thank you for this. I’m in desperate need of some assistance for My family this year. My children watched their father get into a motorcycle accident right across from Our home. He was turning in to the parking lot while we so stood outside. He hot a pothole ans his hand hit the throttle and he went face first into the curb with no helmet and then air lifted to the hospital. He currently has seizures and is trying to Control them to work as much as possible. I went through 2 hip surgies and an emergency gallbladder surgery this year and with both of us getting slammed with with all of this this summer we recently both started back to work thank goodness. Our kids went through a horrible summer watching both of us in wheelchairs and learning how to assist in their fathers seizures. It’s been very rough, literally one thing after another. We are hoping for any help. The stuff in the wish list are examples of anything or kids like. We hope there is still hope even being this late in December.
We’ve got 3 girls ages 11, 11, and 4
We’ve also got 2 Boys ages 9 and 2
We are praying for any help possible please. 😦

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the angel/angels that purchased more things off of my wishlist and made Christmas possible for my daughters and one of my sons. This was truly a Christmas miracle. <3
Thank you everyone who helped me, and my niece, give Christmas joy to our families
Update on list 2154: It’s just amazing to know that in your time of need, there are wonderful people that you can count on to make miracles happen! My list is almost fulfilled, with the exception of two Metroid 3DS games for my teenage sons and some teething keys for my baby. I put multiple quantities of the same game up there because my sons play together but don’t trade with each other or do trade-ins. I always have to get three of every game because they all want their own to build their collection. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart angel/angels. <3 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/27I8QGEMXV03A?&sort=default
Hi this is Jennifer 3613 reposting once again in case there is any one left who can help out with what’s left. Thanks and Merry Christmas
http://a.co/1xUrg2r
I looked at their list tonight and noticed that a few toys have climbed up out of range (oops!) And so i put on some small stuffed animals instead. Someone helped with the hygiene items so that all remains is the hats (its a surprisingly cold winter in the desert) and now the stuffies. Thank you all for pulling through for this family at the last minute! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1YCNRC2PQU2VX
Kritter #3645 I was only my lunch break when I went onto Amazon (to check my book reviews actually lol) when I saw the last item was purchased. Thank you so much! My Nella is by no means a fashionista, but she’ll be thrilled to receive a new pair of jeans! I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas!
It would be impossible to read all the comments here, but I have to say that I love how many gift requests are practical! I have tears in my eyes because my kid will be getting the new winter coat she’s wanted, a new hoodie, and new jeans. She, herself, will flip out when she sees them! (Especially the hoodie – it’s killing me not to tell her it’s on the way! lol) I grew up beyond dirt poor, so my brother and I never balked at getting clothes for the holidays. From the time I was small all of our clothes came from the Goodwill, so Xmas clothes probably meant they were NEW – and that was a big deal! (I mean, K-Mart new, but whatever. New is new) So, it really makes me happy to see so many parents excited their kids will receive new underwear, new socks, new coats, etc!
Last year my daughter got a new tablet, a new DS with games, and an electric guitar (among a plethora of other, smaller gifts). This year she was prepared to receive nothing. I’m very proud of her for the great attitude she’s had about it, and deeply thankful to have found this amazing thing! As I said before – now that I finally have a full time job – I can’t wait to fill wish lists next year!
Thank you for the update. The mittens wil be welcome even if they are late, they will still arrive before school starts back. You are a true angel. I am sending you hugs. My kids will have a Christmas this year. The generosity and good will on here is overwhelming. Next year I will make sure to save some extra to give back and pay the kindness back.
Just wanted to see if there was anyone who could help me with the last of my sons wishlist http://a.co/hwyHGjc
Thank you, god bless and Merry Christmas everyone!
I just noticed that the boots and snow pants will not arrive until after Christmas if purchased. I realize that this would be a turn off for any elfs. but am asking one last time. My boys really need these. Nathan has been layering long johns and genes and Justin only has gym shoes and slippers. I have searched High and low at every salvation army and resale store in my area and have come up empty handed. These truly are needed for both of them. We live in northern Michigan where winter is artic cold and the snow is deep. If there is anyone who has either of these items gently used in their sizes (in any color but pink or purple). It would mean the world to me knowing that my boys were well protected. My girls have plenty of hand me down warm gear from their cousins, but it is all pink and purple, and the boys just aren’t willing to endure the teasing they would get for wearing them out.
A special thank you going out to the anonymous elf that insisted I add the doll for Lilly, he arrived tonight (absolutely precious) along with the extra books you picked out. I didn’t have much time to look them over, but I am look forward to reading them with Lilly, as will Bridget. She loves reading Chapter books to her little sister and even spent her own birthday money buying books to read to Lilly, I am truly blessed to have such wonderful Children. Your gift means so much. I would love to do something for you in return for your generosity and kindness.
Eternally grateful
Lesley (#1417) Santa’s reindeer must be exhausted, but it looks like they finally got your packages delivered after flying around the wrong town for 10 days! I think I might have to put out some extra carrots for them so they’ll be ready for busy Christmas deliveries!
Merry Christmas and Happy James Garfield!
Hello everyone,
I was directed here from a friend in my knitting group at church. I have read through the posts and I am amazed at the generosity that is being shown to complete strangers… talk about holiday spirit 0:-)
My name is Liz, and I have two daughters, Anna and Mazie. Anna is 13 and Mazie is 6. This year started off great for us as I am self-employed and my business was doing great, but a few months ago that all took a turn when one of my clients was hospitalized and it put me out of work. I am doing what I can now and have gotten back to a somewhat full-time schedule, but now I am playing catch-up with all of our bills and debts. It feels like an endless cycle but I am hoping within a few months we will be back to normal. Unfortunately, Christmas won’t wait a few months. And so, here I am, asking for help for my family. A bit about my girls:
Anna (13) is so kind, loving, and generous. She is a true free spirit and loves everyone she meets. She volunteers with me once a month at our church’s program for local homeless families. She loves art, music, anime, and swimming, and gymnastics.
Mazie is 6. She is a ball of energy. Her favorite thing to do is play with her baby dolls. Last year she asked me for a “silicone baby reborn doll” for Christmas (think Ashton-Drake dolls… those horribly expensive collectible dolls that are eerily lifelike). I was heartbroken that I couldn’t afford one for her and I was truly hoping that I’d be able to this year. Sadly, I still can’t. She has been bringing it up a lot and has said that she doesn’t think Santa will bring her one, and that tears my soul apart because I know how long she’s been wanting one and she is really a great kid.
I’ve made them a wishlist and I added a bunch of options but please know that of course I don’t expect all of the items, or even most!, to be purchased. I would just be sincerely grateful for any help that I could get for my girls.
Thank you all so much for reading.
Wishlist link is: http://a.co/54hjYoD
Jamie M – Don’t know if you’re still checking comments, but I see your binoculars and bunny book are delayed 🙁 Amazon does not have an updated expected date, but here is the tracking # I have from USPS 9361289690090348590780. Hopefully they’ll get there before Christmas!!
Jeremy, #2865, there’s something on the way for Scott, though it can’t arrive until Wednesday. I hope it will still be a fun surprise, even if it isn’t Christmas morning.
It doesn’t hurt to try one last time, right?
Alana is my 19 year old stepdaughter. Due to her mental and behavioral issues, her mom has asked that she only receive clothes this year. While I respect that, and had angels bless us with a pair of jeans and a hoodie, I feel like it would be a much better Christmas for her to at least have something else under the tree. These are all small, thoughtful items.
Some of the items went unavailable or up in price so I replaced them. If they look like they’re for a younger child, it is because she is mentally around 10-12.
We are not celebrating Christmas until the end of next week, so things not arriving before Christmas is perfectly fine.
I just hope that I can show her how loved she is, even if we can’t do much.
Thank you in advance for anything that anyone can do.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3SVIFJH70YUH3
Checking again for Stephanie P, #2359. The coat and book haven’t been able to be delivered. The notice from amazon said there was a problem with the shipping address, and that sometimes the issue occurs because of a secured building. They said I should contact them with updated instructions, but …. I don’t know what to tell them. hoping you will be checking the blog soon!
Hello all, its Chelody again, but i just wanted to offer a tip and share some good news. As i was checking my wishlist i saw an amazon ad for one of the credit card offers. I applied and got an amazon gift certificate and am doing the Prime trial offer, so now i can fulfill some things from my own list, without even using the credit card, plus free shipping! Woohoo! Also, i just got back from my work holiday party, and i won a gift card, so i now have a present for my oldest!!!
I just thought some of you angels might wanna take advantage of the offers and be able to give even more without spending more. I really hope i can give back next year. Swnding love and light to all!
Posting again in hopes someone can help a friend and her 2 children 6 and 13. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15UWIV7N5EITR
Hello, I know this is late and if anyone can help it will arrive after Christmas. Due to unforseen circumstances I got emergency custody of my grand children. These 3 beautiful babies are now safe and will be placed with us on the 27th. These kids have hardly anything and I don’t have the extra money right away to get them Christmas presents. They’ve been through so much and I know no matter what they will be in a better place with me.. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3G0EOGJX24MNJ
Liz B. 3684, it looks like you’ve previously posted a separate list. I can’t find the comment now, but there was definitely a list for someone using the name of SparkleClaus on Amazon, in Fairport, NY, just like the list you just posted in 3684. The reason I’m sure this previous list existed is because I bought a few things from it, and that order still shows up in my history.
Do you have an explanation for this?
Hi Jesse. I noticed her list is similar to one I thought about buying for earlier. The earlier list has now been completely deleted. Did the list you bought from have an expensive baby doll listed?
Maria, post 3960
I’ve just cleared the last three items on your friend’s list. They will both have a gift arriving Sunday but the doll will be a little bit later… Hope that’s ok. Merry Christmas! Beffydee x

I have bought Alana the Harry Potter journal and glitter pens. Hopefully journaling will help her to manage her behaviours…

I’m sending through a few items for you but they’re not going to make it for Christmas Day. I’m sorry about that. But they should be a nice New Year present for your baby boy…

Anne Brown, post 3672
Your address isn’t coming up directly from your wishlist but as you put it separately, I was able to enter that manually. I have bought all of the books on your list, and I think I have a present for each child too (hard to know for sure). I also paid extra for one-day delivery so that you’d have them by Christmas – all bar one of the books that will be a couple of days late…
Merry Christmas! BeffyDee xx
Jenni in the UK, post 1773
I have ordered the three items from your list that I could – but the rest are from third-party sellers and your wishlist isn’t set up for that, I’m afraid. I hope you can get something for your eldest boy to open…
Or if email me beth.dawson.78 (at) gmail (dot) com with an email address for him/you, I can happily send him a little Amazon gift voucher.
Hope it helps.
Merry Christmas! Beffydee
Thank you so much Beffydee!!! I woke up and checked her list and came here to say thank you. I just texted her and I can’t wait to see her and the kids faces. I’ll ask her if pictures are ok.
Message for ‘From the Little House on the Corner’ post 3677
Cleared Molly’s list. Most will arrive on Sunday but a couple of bits will be delivered at the end of December….
Sent with love. Merry Christmas! xxx
Hi Jesse!!
That is the person who told me about this site. She helped me set up the Amazon wishlist with her account (I don’t use Amazon much).
Thank you to the folks who have kindly purchased gifts for my little ladies! You are all so wonderful.
Merry Christmas!
Maria, post 3699
You are so, SO welcome!! As is your friend. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas…
Much love <3
I am extremely late and understand If it is too late. I am a single mom attending college full time while working. My children mean the world to me and I am devastated that I am unable to provide them with a Christmas. I had saved nearly 300 away just for their Christmas, but when I went shopping Monday I set my purse down for just a moment while I tried on a new coat for myself. Well apparently someone else needed that money more than I needed a new coat, or m6 children a Christmas. 😣😣😭😭
It is what it is I deam still distraught that my hard earned money is gone, but keep reminding myself that their is a lesson to be learned and that everything serves a purpose.
I came across a post on good ole FB I rarely visit that place. but I did And now here I am. It is sooo late I have made a small list for my 2 kiddos if their is anyone still looking to help please consider my 2 kids.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ZFADYUWOYGXB
To #3669: Sorry for not checking back yesterday but since it’s for the oldest one I’m sure he’ll understand. Maybe one of santa’s gifts “got lost behind the couch” or something lol. Thanks for letting me know though so I’m not worried about what happened to the gift. 🙂
Sorry guys, I was getting my kids ready for school earlier so I didn’t get a chance to post a proper thank you.
THANK YOU so much, to the anonymous Santa(s?) who purchased several gifts for each of my daughters! BOTH of their #1 wishes have been fulfilled – the easel for Anna and the doll for Mazie. I can’t express how thankful I am. You have brought Christmas to my family and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Merry Christmas everyone! Joy to the world 🌈🌺
Just wanted to post again real quick, in case there are any elves or reindeer still around for a young Marine spending his first Christmas away from family and friends. I know he isn’t a “kid” anymore but his whole world has changed and just hoping to send a few small things his way. Thank you for looking and Merry Christmas.

THANK YOU I woke up to our new family’s wish list GONE ❤ During morning breakfast it was said that Santa seems to be lost on a few items. 🙁 Not sure if orders were cancelled or if reindeer are sleepy and driving poorly. But Amazon isn’t any help. The list attached is what was ordered but hasn’t came. There are 2 toddler coats and 2 pairs of rain boots. (Both arrive after Christmas but are needed and nothing we pull up shows it will so we went with less expensive options) and Tamaras boys are missing their cars 🙁 and Elizabeth’s little boy is missing the road tape. Im sorry I’m leaving this here in hopes someone sees it or can tell me how to check those orders?
If we get extra of course it will be given to a family when they come through the door. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1ZLRHDOEUIVDX
Repost. Original # 3061
Hi again, I stopped in over a week ago when my friend told me about this amazing blog and community. I am posting again with the hopes that there is some christmas magic left.
My name is Jessica and I am a single mom to two wonderful kids. Alex is a 14 yo boy who loves to run cross country and do all the outdoor sports. Brooke is my 16 year old girl and the typical teen and older sister. Our story is not as compelling as some of the others on here but it is what it is. I am working a deadend job that does not pay much and live in a deadend state and it is too expensive to move. We live paycheck to paycheck and I know the kids can tell which really breaks my heart. Never in a million years would I think I would be where I am today and so strapped. Right now they have some presents under the tree but they are the basics like socks and underwear. I am also on a community tree but I do not know what if anything will be arriving from that until next weekend. Jessica D.

I was gifted a $20 amazon card from a friend, and as my wish list was already fulfilled by the generous elves around here; it was an easy choice to play elf myself. Your positive attitude inspite of everything inspired me to help you. I only wish I could do more for you, but wanted to make sure the little ones at least had 1 gift from Santa. That really is horrible that your purse was stolen. The 2 books are on their way and are scheduled to arrive on Sunday. I am praying that another elf will be able to help out with the Toys for Jessica and Jackson. Keep up the faith and your positive attitude.
Thank you again to all the elves that helped my family. You are amazing!!! and I am grateful that I was able to give back and will continue to pay it forward.
Merry Christmas.
Being an elf is the present of all.
Hi this is Jennifer 3613 reposting once again in case there is any one left who can help out with what’s left. Thanks and Merry Christmas
http://a.co/1xUrg2r
Liz B, 3701, glad to hear there’s a good reason for it being the same name on Amazon’s side. 🙂 It looks like Anna already had several gifts being sent for her, but I got a couple more for Mazie. And they’re even supposed to be delivered on Sunday, somehow! Merry Christmas!
Thought I would repost to help these families get their lists fulfilled. Here are a few lists I noticed a few days ago that still need a few more things.Abilene 3519 2 kids, 2 items left
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/BRB0QP87IOIJ
Rosalva Jaramillo 3511 1 kid, 3 items left
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/34880I04KNJPQ?&sort=default
Ena 3412 7 kids, 7 items left
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
I hope that makes it easier for you angels that are still looking to spread a blessing
For anyone looking at Dawn’s updates, I want to point out that there are actually only 2 items left on Rosalva’s list. For some reason when you follow the link, it is showing the item that’s already been purchased as well as the 2 that haven’t been.
Jessica, a couple items from your list are on the way. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make it there before Christmas, so you might need to do something creative to let the kids know that stuff is on the way. Or maybe not, and let it just be a post-holiday surprise! 🙂
Alex 3703, would you place a higher priority on the PJs or on the toy/karaoke machine? Normally I just assume that the fun stuff should come first, but since you said the PJs are a tradition, I could see where you might prefer them.
Two of the gifts people bought off my wishlist wont make it until after Christmas and those will be gifts Santa “hid behind the couch” lol
From The Little House On the Corner, none of the “missing” items are things I bought, so I don’t have any visibility into their status. However, I will say that I’ve gotten several texts today about deliveries being delayed. I haven’t had a chance to look into the reason why, yet. But, if it’s happening with the ones I bought, there’s a good chance that it happened with the ones that you haven’t received yet, as well. Hopefully the people that bought them are able to check in soon and let you know for sure, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it, at least not yet. 🙂
Karen Light 3628, one of your items couldn’t be delivered because “the employee did not have access to the delivery location.” This is being delivered via USPS, and one of the other items was successfully delivered via USPS. That one says it was left in the mailbox, whereas I think this one is too big for the mailbox, so I’m guessing it failed because they can’t get access to your front door? Do you have any special instructions that I should pass along to make sure they’re able to deliver it when they try again tomorrow?
Jesse,
Wow! Thank you so much! Mazie is one of those kids who will play with everything she owns for years to come. I bet that outfit will be on plenty of dolls and stuffed animals in the future, lol! 🙂
And she will love the dress. It’s adorable.
I appreciate it more than you know! THANKS AGAIN 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Liz
Anonymous 3504 (who is at the Little House on the Corner), I got an alert that the beanie and princess toothpaste that are coming your way missed the plane. It does say that they should be delivered tomorrow, though, so don’t be concerned when they’re not in there with the stuff arriving today!
Jesse- thank you, none too worried 🙂 someone actually came through and cleared the list completely
Again I want to say thank you. Thank you for all of your kindness. You have bought for the 24 kiddos at our shelter now.
We are a long term communal living shelter for moms and kids. About 9 out of 10 of our moms are coming out of domestic violence. Christmas is a real struggle to feel in ‘the spirit’ while also not being in a place of your own. We taken in 1-2 new families a month with a capacity to fill 10 at a time. Most of our intakes come with nothing – bedding clothes toys hygiene items. I am leaving our list for our pantry here. There are 2 listings for gift cards – a visa is used for gas for our van that takes our people places as a group as well as goes to pick up intakes when needed. And an Amazon would be used to purchase items on the list when things get low. I put pull ups on there because our local diaper bank doesnt provide that size but we have 7 in them now. Also listed is blankets and pillows.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
Jesse, thanks for pointing that out. I wonder why it’s doing that? I hope she doesn’t end up with duplicates because of it.
Dawn S, 3420, good news! UPS hustled, and managed to make up the time from the delay, and the floral outfit for your baby is once again scheduled to be delivered today!
CeCe,
thank you so much for the books. It is a blessing to know that my babies will have a something under the tree Christmas Morning. It is touching to know that you chose my list to give too. My mom always told me find the good in everything. I admit I was crushed when I realized that my purse with all my cash for Christmas had been stolen, but I just keep telling myself that theu must have needed it more than me. A very hard lesson to learn but stressing about it won’t change it. O have my little ones and will keep the faith that Santa will fond his way with the presents they requested.
Thank you.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ZFADYUWOYGXB
My cousing has had an incredibly hard year between loosing their house and losing their jobs. Her and her husband work so hard to provide for their little boy but this year Santa needs some help to give Emmitt a Christmas. I put some clothing and a blanket on this list as well as a few very inexpensive toys. Diapers and body wash. They lost absolutely everything so evwn if its not exactly on Christmas day it will be so so appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3J452M9HGGRS
Bee,
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve gotten all of the items you purchased for my 4 year old! The girl at the post office is a friend and has been messaging me as packages arrive. I’ll be visiting her again tomorrow in hopes that the things for my 10 year old arrive. But even if they don’t arrive in time for Christmas, he will still have a few things under the tree. I found a few things that I’d bought for his birthday in October and had forgotten about (a Minecraft figurine and a FNAF tshirt). Maybe I was meant to forget and then find those things now lol
Again, thank you so much for your kindness! I will never forget it and will definitely be paying it forward at the first opportunity!
Happy Christmas to you and yours, as well as ALL of the Elves who have helped with such generosity!
Joy
P.S.
Do you happen to have shipping dates or tracking #s for the other items? I just want to make sure everything gets here.
Bee,
Correction! I did get the shirts for my 10 year old. It’s the book, jeans and FNAF toy I’m hoping gets here soon 😊
Thanks to the person who got my wish list my grand kids are going to be so happy! I’m crying right now good bless you
Feeling super blessed!! My babies will have something to open thanks to you beautiful angels😗 Ellen,Jesse and the Angel that just bought the backpack and the slim kit. Ellen and Jesse I received some of the stuff already just had not been able to post,my baby was in the ER do to a really high fever.But thank God he’s doing a lot better now …my fiance an I are extremely grateful and we hope that next year we can pay it back to another family …
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1FQSODCSPR7PI
I know this is probably over but Im Jay and my husband told me about this program. I think he may have found a way to get a gift for each kid, God bless those who helped and everyone here. I would love for the kids to each get a book, reading has always been something they love and they devour books like food… http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/11KVCAM73W8BG
Merry Christmas everyone!
Alex,
Your positive out look is a breath of fresh air. I was drawn to your post out of all the ones here… you only had 6 items on your list and stayed within the budget. Many of the lists on here are way over budget and full Adult items.
Next year I look forward to spreading the Christmas cheer with more than a $20 gift card, but that was all I had and it was an unexpected surprise. I could have purchased some extra’s for my own family but that just did not feel right. I am so happy to have helped you out if even just a little. I hope you have a great Christmas and will keep your family in my prayers that Santa and his elves are able to gather up the 4 items remaining on your list.
Also a special thank you to Wendy, and Emily the elves who packed up my family’s list. All of the items have been received with the exception of the Brushes for James, which I am hoping will be here tomorrow or Sunday. either way James is now old enough to be a helper himself and will be over the moon with glee with the presents he is receiving.
Merry Christmas
Thank you thank you to whoever has bought for our shelters pantry!
There are blankets and stuffed animals and hygiene items left. ❤
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
Hi Cece, I just checked the shipping status of the brushes. I wish it were clearer. In one place it says it’s expected to be delivered by the 24th, and in another it says it should be delivered between the 24th and 26th. So, all I can say for sure is that it is en route. 🙂
Wanted to post again real quick, in case there are any elves or reindeer still around for a young Marine spending his first Christmas away from family and friends. I know he isn’t a “kid” anymore but his whole world has changed and just hoping to send a few small things his way. Thank you for looking and Merry Christmas.
Small wishlist I made for him http://a.co/4rJaFgs
Hi Joy, I checked Amazon and it doesn’t look like the other items will get there before Xmas, unfortunately. The Pokemon book is shipped and set to arrive Thursday. The FNAF figure and jeans are shipping now and expected to arrive Weds or Thurs. It still shows the toddler jeans and skates as arriving tomorrow (Sat.) but did you already get those? The Walter book shows delivered today and both sets of shirts as delivered yesterday.
I’m glad you found some things to put under the tree for your oldest! I really wish those other items had shipped sooner and would’ve gotten there on time. I know when you’re a kid it’s important to have things on THE day but I hope your son will still enjoy his extended Christmas. 🙂
I appreciate your thanks but know that I truly feel like I’m the one getting a gift when I’m able to do things like this. I grew up poor and know what a Christmas with no tree or presents is like so I am thrilled be able to make someone else’s holiday even a little bit better.
Merry merry to you and your sons!
Hoping someone sees this. They need the help so badly this season and I am just not not able to help them. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3J452M9HGGRS
Wendy,
Thank you for the update. I have faith it will arrive just in time. James is not expecting anything at all for himself so it will be a wonderful surprise when they do arrive. I am blessed to have found this blog and am even more grateful that I was able to dispatch a few elves myself. It is dis heartening for me to see any child go without on Christmas especially young ones that still believe in the magic of Santa and his reindeer.
In a effort to help her out a little more I am posting her list again with out her knowledge and going to request that any avail elves gather together to help this mom. Her purse was stolen while she was out shopping for presents and now she is unable to get them the only presents they requested from Santa. I am huge sucker for Santa luckily James is older now and Justin is too young to realize.
It is wonderful to see that she is at peace with it… If I had the money I would send the Train set and singing machine myself, however I already spent the only funds avail on 2 books for her little ones.
James was 10 the last year he really believed in Santa, so I feel a strong desire to help these little ones and keep the magic alive.
Alex’s wish list.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ZFADYUWOYGXB
Wow, this community never ceases to amaze! I just noticed two gifts from my nieces’ list were sent. Thank you so much! ♥️♥️
Renee Robson, Just wanted to make sure your granddaughter? Got her running shoes – Amazon says the package was left on the porch.
CeCe,
I love that you are so concerened for my kids. I am heartbroken that I am unable to provide them the items requested from Santa as I have in years past. I do have a few smaller items that I purchased earlier to fill thier stockings so thye will have some Santa items. Jessica is older and I agree this likely will be the blow that ends the whole Santa fantasy for her. 🙁 which is disappointing I had hoped to get one last year, like I said earlier it is what it is. As much as it pains me I can only do what is within my control. My mother was a very wise woman, God rest her soul; she made me reciet the serenity prayer every night as a child.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
During this most difficult of times, I can hear my mothers voice repeating those words over and over. I have faith that whatever happens it is what it is.
You are an angel and I am touched that you have taken my situation to heart. Please rest assured that my babies will be okay. It may be the last Santa Christmas for them but they will be O.K. and we still have each other.
My lunch/dinner break is nearly over now. I will check back in after work and will know the fate of our Christmas so I can prepare myself for whatever is to be.
Merry Christmas
Alex and CeCe–What a coincidence! You both have the same shipping info! CeCe, to pick someone off the list, at random, because you liked their attitude, and to find out you are from the same town (of less than 7,000 people) and state must have blown your mind! It’s funny you didn’t mention that coincidence when you used your surprise gift card to purchase the books for Alex, especially since you’ve been chatting here in the comments. Did you miss that connection?
I mean, there is a good explanation why your addresses are the same, right?
Beffydee I wanted to thank you so much more everything you made Christmas smashing for our babies amazing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ♡♡♡ also we recieved another package from someone with some books as well from someone but it didn’t have a name so i wanted to thank you so so so much. Y’all are a blessing!!!
3737, A coat for Emmett and some toys are on their way….the coat won’t arrive till after Christmas, but the toys will be there Christmas eve.
Happy Christmas to you…
Is there any James Garfield love for a new Marine stationed away from his family for the first time? LCpl Lewis is 1500 miles from his hometown, his mom did send him a tshirt and pajama pants, but she is a single mom trying to raise his younger siblings still at home and says he is old enough to not expect much. I sent him a big bag of tootsie rolls (his favorite) but couldn’t do much more, just trying to see if anyone can maybe send him a game to share with his unit or some snacks maybe.
I put a few games on there, but really only need to send 1 of them, and then about 5 smaller little things if anyone can help, the wishlist I made for him is http://a.co/4rJaFgs
I have just a little money after paying my bills. Could anyone use an e-gift card to gift someone or money for food????
Jesse,
I got your gifts today.
THANK YOU so much!!
I had no idea when I purchased the gifts that Alex lives near me. I was just trying to give back. I learned about this list from local mom group on facebook. When I sent the gifts the shipping address only showed “Alex’s wish list address”. I appreciate knowing that she lives near me as that will make it easier for me to see what I can do to help her. I was on my phone so that may explain why I did not notice.
Alex,
I am so sorry that my interest in your family has been the death nail in providing a Christmas for your babies. please reach out to me I do have some wooden train pieces that belonged to James when he was younger. I was saving them for Justin but would love to see them go to your little one if it means he has a present Christmas morning. They are gently used but still in good shape.
My email is ceceforever79 at gmail
I do believe is synchronicty and knowing that you live near me it seems that we should meet. I would love to know you.
Sorry to anyone who thinks I have been deceptive. I truly am grateful for everything I have been blessed with for my son’s.
Merry Christmas to all
Thank you so much Anonymous! Thats a huge help! Clothes and diapers still on list if a Santa sees this ❤🎅https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3J452M9HGGRS
Michelle we could use a gift card for food always keeping 32 mouths fed is $$ lol a little extra goes a long way here
I’m tapped out, but I would like to thank Jenny for making this one of the more memorable Christmases for me. I got to be an elf last year, but a tiny one. Hubs and I chose to forfeit what we would give each other so that I could do it again 🙂 So BIG thank you to Jenny and long may James Garfield rule over Christmas future…
Thank you all so much. Every little thing helps a lot, and this will help so much. I’m literally crying
http://a.co/a8n2nlN
i can’t wait until next year when I hope we will be able to be someone else’s santa.
Jamie (3258, 3296, & 3325): Looks like all the other elves in the world managed to snag up the last of the doodle mats, but I did manage to get the stacking cups and rainmaker before they could sell out (I’m pretty sure I’ve bought that same rainmaker for a kid or the local children’s hospital every year for the past 5 years. Seems to be a popular toy!). Also, I know that this might violate the spirit of the James Garfield miracle, but I’m attaching a condition to these gifts: you have to stop referring to yourself as an idiot! 🙂
Jade (3292): I certainly don’t think there’s any problem with you posting a list for kids you know that need some help, even if they’re not your kids. Especially when it’s still your extended family you’re asking for. Several gifts for Tayla are on the way!
Anonymous (3304): Some gifts for each of your kids is on the way! The big lego set for Louis says that it might not arrive until December 27th, so I included a couple of the smaller sets to make sure he’ll have something to open on Christmas Day. If the big set does take until the 27th, it can be a bonus surprise. 🙂
Ena (3016), or Trish (3315) if you can pass this along to her: A few items are on the way now. I wanted to also get the Minnie shirts for Abby and Jada, but they were coming from 3rd-party sellers, so couldn’t be shipped to a gift list address. I believe that you can set your list to allow 3rd-party shipments, or if you can find similar sweatshirts that they would like that are eligible for Prime shipping, then they will be shipped by Amazon themselves, so won’t be subject to the 3rd-party restrictions (and will also be guaranteed to arrive before Christmas as well).
Anonymous (3321): A few items are on the way, however I’m not sure if I picked out gifts for each of the kids, or doubled up on one or some of them. If you can go in and add comments to each item in the list, to indicate which kids they’re for, would help a lot. This doesn’t necessarily have to be their names. Most people put in the age and gender of the kid, or the kid’s first initial, or even just “kid 1”, “kid 2”, etc. Just something so we can make sure they’re all getting something.
Sarah (3261 & 3312), Samantha (1605 & 3265), Trish (3163 & 3402), M (3278), Hoping (3307), Anonymous (3330, 3354, 3377, & 3398), Kelly (3333), & JK (3350): You’ve each got a few more gifts headed your way!
Anonymous (3301): It looks like you don’t have an address associated with your list, so we can’t have the swing shipped to you. Look at Jenny’s instructions for setting up a list (specifically, the section labelled THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART PEOPLE ALWAYS MESS UP), to see how to add an address. Let us know once that’s done, and we can start having gifts sent your way.
Anonymous (3260): It looks like the link you provided isn’t valid. Can you double-check your list, and make sure you’re using the correct link?
I’m sitting observing the change in our home. Things have shifted from avoiding the topic of Christmas to enjoying the spirit. Thank you all. There is something under the tree for every kid. Moms are in the kitchen now making cookies and little ones by the tree stringing cheerios on yarn. Our pantry has been given donations and that’s a huge help. James Garfeild we owe you quite a lot this year and for that thank you. – The little house on the corner.
This is our pantry list. We pull our supplies for new families from our pantry. For most what they receive is all they have. We have communal soap and such but blankets, tooth brushes, and stuffed animals are their own. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
Jesse, you are seriously an angel. Merry Christmas, love.
There are just a few warm clothes left on our list. 🎅❤https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2LM1TPOAY8PRA
Carla (3509) – You should have received everything other than the hoodie – and I just got word that Amazon’s elves are working extra hard and the hoodie shipped out today and is expected to arrive Sunday the 24th! Hopefully it will get there in time to be put under the tree!
Carla (3509) – You should have received everything but the hoodie at this point – and Amazon’s elves apparently worked extra hard – I got word that the hoodie shipped out today and should be there by Sunday the 24th – hopefully it makes it in time to get under the tree!
THANK YOU! For the hot potato game for my youngest daughter.
The last gift for my son, VTech ball truck,has not yet arrived. When it does I will make sure to post another thanks. It takes a special kind of person to help a stranger and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Thank you for blessing me and my family.

It’s sad to see that scam hunters are making people afraid to post and preventing other people from getting help. I stopped posting our list rather than deal with that. A lot of the scammers are obvious but not everyone is working the system. When you’re poor, you are automatically suspect and have to prove that you’re deserving. I decided that we can do without than be accused of lying. That’s a choice I make often because of shame or fear of judgement. The kids especially the baby, needs clothes as he has 2 pairs of pants from growing so fast and I would be grateful for a few toys for them as some things still didn’t come. I just don’t want to deal with scrutiny and being treated like trash. My soul is weary and this makes it more tired.
Jesse,
I finally found the post about the package, I do not live in a gated community so I’m not sure why they are having so many issues with delivery (except our post office is lazy) If they can leave the package on the porch that would be awesome! I will also call the local post office in the morning and see what I need to do to help get it delivered. Thank You for letting me know!
Ruthie 3562 Thank you so much. I just got the bow and gun in the mail he’s going to be so excited. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Anon #3687 there a couple of things headed Alana’s way. They will arrive just after Christmas but I hope she enjoys!
Alex #3703 there are 2 sets of pj’s headed your way. They will arrive just after Christmas but I hope your kids enjoy them!
Sarah #3662 there is a game and a couple of small things headed Damion’s way. They will arrive just after Christmas. I hope he and his buddies enjoy!
I hope I’m not too late 🙁
I was just told of this amazing community by a mom in my support group. I am not sure if I qualify, I have two kids and they will be spending New Years with me to celebrate Christmas. I am doing everything in my power to be a better mom for them and I was so upset that I couldn’t even give them a single gift this year since all my money went to getting an apartment.
I only added a couple things for each and their favorite snack. My youngest is 11 and he’s into all types of LEGO’s and nerf guns. My oldest is 16 and she has no particular interest but I know she needs a box for her jewelry she makes.
I know they both love crafting and I wanted to add a bunch of cheap craft items but I didn’t know if that would be okay?
Please don’t feel bad if you’re unable to help, I just had to try since this is the first Christmas in 4 years I get with them.
Thank you!!

Patti, thank you so much!! Im sure him and his unit will get lots of use out of the game, and the chapstick will for sure help him with PT outside during the winter. Even after Christmas he will sure be surprised because Im didn’t tell him or his mom that I put this up there 🙂
If anyone else wants to send anything there is a couple more things on his list http://a.co/4rJaFgs
Bee,
Thank you for the delivery dates 😊
I got the skates, book and jeans for my 4 year old yesterday and the shirts for them both on Thursday. I talked with my 10 year old about his gifts arriving after Christmas and he’s fine with it. He understands. In fact, yesterday was the day he let me know that he knows about Santa, so after the talk we had about that, I think it’s made it easier for him to understand. Ugh. I was hoping to get one last year of both of my boys believing, but I’m also surprised he lasted this long lol
I’ll let you know as the other items arrive.

Hi Jamesha (post 3510), Amazon contacted me because they were unable to deliver the
Calvin Klein Little Girls Asymmetrical Puffer Coat (6, Beet Root) because of a problem with your address. Can you check to see what’s going on as I am not able to verify your address details? 🙂 But there might not be any problem at all. The issue might be because this coat went via UPS and the others went through other Amazon shipping (as I know the others were already delivered) and UPS got confused or were just unable to deliver? I’m not sure. I hope we can figure it out in time for Christmas!
Happy Christmas to you and yours!
Is it okay if I ask on behalf of my siblings (8yo, 9yo, 18yo)?
Since a downhill turn two weeks back, we were separated from our parents and won’t get to spend the holiday with them. My little siblings don’t have any gifts to open and what happened to my parents isn’t something I can really explain to them, so they could use something to look forward to — even if they don’t arrive in time for Christmas!
If anyone has something to spare and doesn’t mind the expense shipping to the Philippines, all 4 of us share a love for fiction, board/card/tabletop games, sweets and snacks! Barring that, here’s the wishlists:
Enzo (8) and Chia (9) – http://a.co/dPLtxpU
My twin, Ally (18) – http://a.co/bmAM8qD
And if anyone has some interest seeing mine (18) – http://a.co/2J9sQZ4
Even if we don’t receive much of anything, thank you for reading to the end of my comment! And happy holidays to all, especially the givers! Your generosity astounds me to no end.
I made a list of small craft items both kids can enjoy when they come over. I have nothing in the apartment for them, I’m unable to even buy gifts because I need to buy food. I wish I could do more for them but I’m just happy we get to be together.
Being a mom is so hard sometimes! This will be our first Christmas together in a few years.

Little house on the corner – can you email me to discuss? If this is a women’s shelter I understand if you cannot but I’d like to help as productively as possible. And anyone else that can use food or a gifcard: mll113050@gmail.com
I don’t have much but I’ll do what I can!
Theresa #3766 the Nerf gun and jewelry box should arrive by the 28th. I hope you and your kids have a happy holiday together!
Michelle. I sent an email your way! ❤
Michelle it is so sweet of you to offer to help others! I struggle with trying to get food and haven’t gotten any state benfits yet but I don’t have a vehicle to get to a store to buy much, I have to take the bus. Would you be willing to help with a few food items on amazon if I made a small list?
I would love for the kids to each get a book, reading has always been something they love and they devour books like food… http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/11KVCAM73W8BG
Merry Christmas everyone!
Karen Light, unfortunately, I didn’t see your comment until now, but it looks like they were able to figure it out, and delivered the last item today!
Previous years, my family and I benefited from this. We are still a bit into hard times, but my kids aren’t really kids anymore and so I didn’t want to take advantage. I just came to thank you Jenny and everyone who gives on here and I hope that next year I will be one of the people who can give back. I love this avenue of global community and it shows there is hope for our future generations if we teach our children that it’s okay to give and to receive as long as you don’t take more than you truly need. Jenny you inspire me in so many ways.
I would like to post one more time for toys and clothing. Here’s our wishlists https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B and https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
I just wanted to say thank you again, to everyone who purchased something from our list! I’m original post #1822, and all but 1 thing was purchased and my littles will all have something to open on xmas morning!! Thank you, Jenny for hosting this, and thank you to all of you wonderful wish granters for your generosity 🙂 Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
Theresa 3771, a few crafting items headed your way. I hope you have a great time with your kids!
Poked my head in the pantry today. We are very low on toothbrushes and “feminine supplies” if anyone can help with any of those things. Thank you all for the help. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
Thank you Jesse!!
Next week I’ll start getting supervised visits with my kids. I really hope you guys don’t judge me for that 🙁 it has been a rough road but I have made so much progress. It would be such blessing to have cabinets with food in them, so I made a list in hopes that maybe someone would help. If I am wrong to do this, please let me know and I will delete it ASAP
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/27JJUNLK7X13H
Theresa no one can judge you or should. Don’t be afraid of asking for help. I pray 2018 brings miracles and blessings to your life. Baruch hashem.
Ysa 3770, a few things are headed your way. Unfortunately, as you said, shipping to Philippines is expensive, so I had to go with a slower shipping option. It’s estimated delivery is between January 4th-11th. But I hope that knowing something is on the way can help make a hard time a little brighter for you and your siblings.
Hi Jesse,
I finally found the post about the package, I do not live in a gated community so I’m not sure why they are having so many issues with delivery (except our post office is lazy) If they can leave the package on the porch that would be awesome! I will also call the local post office in the morning and see what I need to do to help get it delivered. Thank You for letting me know!
I received some more packages today. Again, thank you so much. I’m posting one last time, to see if anyone can help with the coat, but wow. My daughter will have such a great Christmas. Thank you so so so much. Merry Christmas to you all.

Riley And Danaya each have one gift, thank you! I went to look and saw the last couple of items we’re unavailable so I added a couple other items.
This is our first Christmas together in years. I know that being together is what honestly matters most but I am trying to be the best mom I can be, and set a good example of being able to provide for my kids in hopes I get more time with them.
If anyone is still able to help, I hope to be looked at. Thank you!
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3J92944OTCX2Y
Hoping someone still sees this. Its mostly just baby necessities. My cousin is in a tlreally hard place right due to no choice if her own. It doesnt matter that the items come after Christmas but at all would be amazing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3J452M9HGGRS
Hi Jamesha (post 3510), posting this again in hopes that you see it. I got a note from Amazon that your apartment number is not listed on your shipping address. Can you verify that you’ve got your full address listed so we can get this last gift delivered? I’ve emailed the seller to explain things but don’t think I can do much from this end as I don’t know your address! 🙂 Thanks!
Hi Tracy,
This is Jamesha. UPS called me on Friday night And I confirmed my address for them. They told me that they would get it back out yesterday. I did not get it though.
Tracy, can you send me the tracking number? I’ll call them
Hi Jamesha,
Oh I’m so glad you saw my messages! The tracking number is 1ZX4W8650210727919. According to Amazon it’s back at the facility in Elm Grove. I hope you can get through to them. Please let me know if I can do anything to help.
Happy Christmas and all the best to you and your family!
Tracy
Hi here’s our wishlists for clothing and a few toys per kid. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
Trying again for my two kids. Please help me make this s great Christmas?
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3J92944OTCX2Y
So, as I sit here, nursing the baby and helping the kids decide what cookies they want to make for Santa to enjoy tonight (please be chocolate chip!), I’m overwhelmed again by the presents everyone sent.
Tonight, we will open the box with pajamas to snuggle up in while wewatch the polar express. Christmas jammies and a movie are tradition for Christmas eve. Made possible this year by my amazing mom.
After the kids fall asleep, Santa’s elves will be super busy with final wrapping of the presents and stuffing of the stockings.
In the morning, the kids will all enjoy breakfast and then be allowed to open their stockings before we unwrap Christmas presents.
My 5 kids will each get to open their gifts (mostly courtesy of the elves on this blog, and my aunt, who is absolutely incredible.)
I can’t say enough “thank you”s to this amazing community. The only thing still on our wishlist are the snow boots for my youngest boy, and only because we are waiting to reorder the correct size after the wrong ones get credited back.
You have all literally clothed my children and offered them sone Christmas magic.
From our family to yours
Thank you. And Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry christmas to everyone! Extremely grateful to Jesse 3785 for the items sent in our direction despite where we’re located. I had my little siblings, Enzo and Chia, open a box after midnight, containing hints pointing to the package that’s heading our way. They acted a little skeptical but they were brimming with excitement! Thank you, thank you, thank you again!
We were disconnected from the internet for a couple days but if anyone still wants to send a little something to my siblings, here’s their wishlists:
Enzo (8) and Chia (9) – http://a.co/dPLtxpU
My twin, Ally (18) – http://a.co/bmAM8qD
And mine, too! (18) – http://a.co/2J9sQZ4
Everyone’s books have been opened and they were all delighted.
Cheetah was saying that she’d really wanted the book about different female scientists in history for ages. She hid the Cuckoo Song book when she opened it because she was worried the cover would frighten Ladybug! (It totally would have.) She’s excited to read Nimona as well.
Ladybug literally screamed at every book she opened. “I LOVE NINJAS! I LOVE UNICORNS. I LOVE THE CRYSTAL GEMS.” And Cheetah was pretttttty interested in the Steven Universe picture book too–she’ll probably listen in when I read it to Ladybug.
Jackrabbit was so amped about all of his books. When he opened Howl and Other Poems he was especially excited–he has pictures of that poem that he took with his phone from a friend’s book, and was really glad to finally have his own copy. He was also pretty intrigued by Two Boys Kissing (I think he plans to start reading it first). They’re all piled on his desk.
Butterfly was super excited when she opened her new Black Butler comics! She’s been looking at pages in them and has put them all in order on her shelf. Apparently there are two Ciels now. I have no idea what that means.
Elephant was delighted! She’s called a friend to tell her about being given a copy of All The Kremlin’s Men (apparently the friend is borrowing it when Elephant is finished reading it) and has already read a couple of chapters that talk about politicians she’s particularly interested in. She’s also read a couple of chapters of The Politics of Fear (she’s been ranting at me about ZMapp and the death of a Sierra Leonian doctor, Sheik Khan I think, for the last hour), and has been skipping around We Have Always Lived in the Castle looking for the best scenes.
It was a wonderful day that would not have been wonderful had it not been for all of you. I hope all of you had an equally wonderful Christmas surrounded by love.

To the person who bought my kids each a gift. My daughter was very happy to get the phone light, unfortunately after charging it the light didn’t work. I spent an hour on the phone with Amazon trying to exchange it but they said I’d have to return it and they’d issue a gift card balance for the amount after they receive it. Please know that my daughter will be purchasing the same item again and she is very appreciative of the gift. Also, the VTech truck for my son has not shipped and I was told they do not know when it will be in stock again. So,it’s probably best you just cancel the order and have your funds returned. We have played the hot potato game three times already today. We love it, even my teen daughter played. Thank you again SO much for the gifts. We truly appreciate it. Merry Christmas!!

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I have tried at least 10 different lists and when I try to check out, every single one of them gives me my own address as the delivery address. Is there something I need to know. I’d really like to help even if Christmas is already past. Thanks so much, Susan
Thank you to Jenny and all her elves. ❤ Christmas morning was something out of a movie- 20 some odd kids is something to behold on Christmas morning! There was more than one squeel of happiness and a few happy tears over toys they never imagined getting. Thank you also for those who have helped stock our pantry. Shelves are looking more full and less panic inducing. From all 32 hearts here we say thank you, truly a Merry Christmas and a happy new years. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤this list is published year around for pantry needs ❤https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
Susan 3802 – See if this is any help: https://ask.metafilter.com/268079/Order-from-an-Amazon-wishlist-and-have-it-delivered-to-their-address
To everyone else:
1) Make sure you have a shipping address attached to your wishlist!
2) Try to see if enabling third-party sharing doesn’t do the trick!

Good evening,
This miracle has given me such hope for my future with my kids. I can’t wait until we get to be together all the time. Next week is my first true test and I’m hoping so hard that someone here might consider helping me with food. I am applying for help but it takes time and I’m hoping to have food in the cabinets and “spoil” the kids so they’d not be disappointed.
If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful.

There’s a few clothing items and toys on our list if anyone would like to help. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3DLHP2VTE189B
Josh, 2801- I received this email regarding the humidifier I sent you. I hope you see this-
My name is Rachel and I am a Customer Care Representative from LEVOIT. I see that you recently have purchased our Humidifier on Amazon.com. I am writing this message just wanted to personally thank you for your order and wanted to know if you had any questions or suggestions about your product.
The ultrasonic cool mist humidifier runs 20 to 30 hours of continuous operation, with the arbitrary control night light function, which allows you slumber at night.
To help you make the best use of the mist humidifier, we would like to share some tips with you:
1. Pour away the water in the base before fill in water to the tank and do not shake the tank when it is working.
2. To extend product lifetime efficiently, please clean the humidifier once a week and the water filter every 6 months.
With one year warranty and lifetime support, we would like to send you a free replacement or provide the full refund if there is any problems with the humidifier or it could not meet your expectation. If you have any needs or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us by replying this message.
Arovast – Amazon Marketplace 4bx961k87dbrf27@marketplace.amazon.com
Jenny if there is any way to get this to Josh, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Linda
Thank you to Jenny and all the Elves that helped my family and many others here in the group. My children were blessed this Christmas thanks to all of you . ❤️ I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year 🎆
Amy- idk if you’ll see this or not but I believe it was you that purchased the rain boots for me and I accidentally chose the wrong size? If so, just know I’ll get those sent out for return hopefully this week 🤞🏻 I’m out of ink on my printer and have to get somewhere to print off the return shipping label but i just wanted you to know I’ll be taking care of it very soon 🙂
Thank you again ❤️
Just trying one more time.. I know it’s a terrible thing to ask, for help with food.. but I just don’t know where else to turn. I just need some help to get through, to provide for my kids. I’ll comtinue trying every avenue I can but I’m not sure how long it will be before I can feel stable.
Thank you for anything, even just positive thoughts.

I want to thank the people who purchased the madlibs and joke book for my boys.
I had a list on amazon, but I edited it after I posted it (my logic was that I didn’t do a good job of offering small purchase items for people and so I panicked and went back and tried to put in lots of less expensive choices that came to the allotted total per child). Then it dawned on me that
it might look scammy since it was edited 1-2 days after I posted it on here 🙁
After checking in periodically (I really tried not to worry about it, but as the troubles financially hit the fan that week and we were in more dire circumstances, I found myself checking too often to see if any of the list was on its way. That compounded how hard it is to ask and how dumb I felt for asking at all, even though it felt desperate this year).
Long story short, I deleted my list the week before Christmas, because I just couldn’t take the mounting emotions and anxiety and imagined rejection. (It was not you all, it was me. I knew it at the time too.) So I ended my misery so to speak and deleted my list entirely.
I was shocked that two items showed up. I Had NO Idea they were coming or had been purchased.
It really touched my heart. Even though I panicked and made a mess of it all, someone/s still came through and sent us two things. Thank you all for the kindness and for the good will and empathy shown on this entire gift giving thread. It really added to my holidays to read each one and to feel of the generosity and love. Bloggess, you do good things. Thank you.
My plan is to offer help next year and to not need it! <3
I just want to thank all of you who purchased from my children’s lists and those of you who purchased for anyone on here. You brightened the eyes of so many children on Christmas morning. Thank you <3

To The Little House on the Corner,
Some things to fill your pantry are on the way. Most should be there Dec. 30, but the kids’ toothbrushes are back-ordered until after the first of the year.
Happy James Garfield!
Kate H thank you so much!
I wanted to post that the coats got here whoever sent them ❤ they fit the 3 kiddos that received them perfectly and are adorable!
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/73TOAWL9C5I3
I know it’s a shot in the dark. My family because of some stuff that happened in December we are celebrating in January and I need Help with being able to provide for a teenie that deserves it. She has had a rough year and I just want to make her smile.

Theresa 3809, The food is on its way. Most of it will be there on Wednesday, a few things will arrive on Thursday. I hope it helps and I wish you and your family a healthy, happy, peaceful New Year.
Linda
Linda,
You are an angel, thank you.
I noticed a few items were no longer available so I removed them and then realized that I had not added any drink items (the city water is terrible). I put some on but it is just wishful thinking.
Anyone who sees this, please know that I appreciate even the vote of confidence that things WILL get better. They have to.
Food help, in case anyone is willing: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/27JJUNLK7X13H
If anyone still wants to put a bit of filling underneath our christmas tree, and don’t mind the expense of shipping to the Philippines, my siblings still have a couple things in their wishlists:
I’d like to put Ally (18) first, because she doesn’t have a working pair of headphones and she’d like to get into online English tutoring to help put some food on the table – http://a.co/43BQQdV
Chia (9) and Enzo (8) are fine with one gift each, but if anyone wants to give them a little something else – http://a.co/7RXtoh3
Otherwise, we always love to receive snacks, second-hand clothing that isn’t being used anymore, and new books to read through!
Lastly, because I’m not immune to a bit of self-plugging, (18) – http://a.co/iHoPuox
Christina – if you would just like to give away the boots, please do so! I hope your kids had a great Christmas!
Hey everyone, sorry I’m a bit late posting an Xmas update, we all caught a bit of a bug shortly after. Xmas morning was awesome! Thank you from my family, and Misty’s family, to everyone that helped. The kids had a magical day 🙂
Anon 3818, if it’s ok with you then I’ll certainly do that and bless someone with them that can use them! Thank you! They sure did and I hope you and your family did as well
Hi everyone and happy holidays! I know I’m late but time got away from me and I forgot. This year took a turn into nuts when I separated from my husband. I don’t feel comfortable with saying what happened, but I have a lot of pressure off my back, and me and the kids are happy again. We moved into a new home and we’re starting over again. I know a lot of people have it worse than me, but I would appreciate the help. I know it’s after Christmas, but I plan to tell the kids that Santa was late. One of his reindeer got lost in the North Pole! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2TV9DRLKCRPFM
Ok, in case anyone is feeling generous, I am reposting this list. Martha got a small gift off her list, but the others did not.. I wanted to post in case any others were still feeling that sparkly magic of the holidays. I’ve had the kids update their list in case their items were too expensive or extravagant. Thanks again if anyone is able to do anything post holiday! The kids will appreciate it all!
This is a group of lists for a little family that has has nothing but tragedy this year. I’m doing what I can, and hoped that you guys could do just a little bit more to make it special. If you can, they will be over the moon. If you can’t, I completely understand. They’ve lost more than anyone deserves to lose in a lifetime. You guys have given so much already, I understand if you have nothing left to give. Thank you for giving it all a look.

Hi, reposting for a family that could use the help. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EMRNU3BU83ZV
I cleaned up my list, removed things that’s were unavailable or increased in price and/or looked for cheaper options.
I am still holding out hope that angels are still around and maybe can help before next week. I am so nervous about these home visits and I’m hoping for the best.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my children and I.

I’ll give it one last try for Ally (18) who wants to help out our parents the only way she knows she might be able to (through online tutoring and other small jobs), but she needs a decent pair of headphones and a microphone to get started: http://a.co/a8jR3nZ
The littler ones don’t need anything else. They’re excited to see the gift each they have headed their way and so am I! Thank you!
Happy new year everyone! I hope this year is better than ever.
Happy new year, everyone!
Jesse – the gifts arrived an hour ago! And two (or three?) days ahead of the expected arrival date, too, just when we got back home from visiting our dad. The little ones have been playing with their gifts since they opened them up and I’m already on the lookout for ink on a budget. Thank you for giving our family some Christmas cheer! <3
Some pictures of the gifts: https://imgur.com/a/WRhf4
Thank you to everyone who helped me make my “first” Christmas with Riley and D a success. They are excited to get to come back this weekend for our first non holiday visit. I am still really hoping someone may be around and willing to help with a few food items so that I can offer them something while waiting on help? Thank you even if you can’t.
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/27JJUNLK7X13H
I apologize for not sending individual thank you’s through Amazon – for one I am not positive how to do that.
Not sure if anyone still reads these comments especially the angels that gifted those of us needing a little extra help – but if you are and you helped my family I want you to know that you giving my family a Christmas we never would have been able to have is also carrying over into 2018.
While it seems that 2018 is getting off to a very rough start – my 3 year old Ellie got sick over New Year’s Eve weekend and was admitted with pneumonia. She is still in the hospital and is doing better just can’t keep her oxygen levels up. Now I am so sick probably caught it from her so I can’t be there in the hospital with her.
So while it seems rough and we may get down – we look back on the Christmas we just had, made possible by you, and we realize there are plenty of blessings to be thankful for and this trial will be short lived.
If you bought off any of these lists and especially Miss Ellie’s — Well thank you so very much <3

Sprestog (3484), I am just now seeing your message as I have been without a phone for a couple of weeks, and I appreciate your trying to fix the issue in order for my son to receive his toy by Christmas. And while that wasn’t able to happen, he had some other things to open, so it’s okay. Hope you had a great holiday, and thank you again for going above and beyond trying to rectify the situation.
Brynn (& Beckett)
I know Christmas has passed. But if anyone is still looking to keep the cheer alive please let me know.
This year I saved and worked OT to provide a wonderful Christmas to my small family (Sister, Brother and his child, and my grandmother) However I did over extend myself and did not plan how I would fair in January.
Ive paid the bills but I have $20.00 left until I get paid on the 28th of January.
If anyone would be kind enough to send a kroger gift card, I would appreciate it. I live alone, except one sweet old cat, and I would very much like to have a few groceries before I am down to just rice and cat food.
Hi.
I’m the same person who made a request for my siblings last Christmas.
Our situation has grown worse since then and, unless my family can gather funds we don’t have to pay a large fine, our dad may have to spend the next two years behind bars in a grossly overcrowded jail and under horrendous conditions.
I don’t know how to explain how compassionate, loving and amazing my dad is to us and my mom is past her breaking point struggling to make ends meet and, at the same time, get my dad out of a sentence that was completely out of his hands.
My sister and I are struggling to find work with little to no experience and no high school diplomas. We’d like to turn to online opportunities – more specifically, online English tutoring for her and illustration and graphic design for me – but we need a headset with a mic and a graphics tablet.
We’ll take anything that functions decently enough to do work with – whether it’s new or second-hand.
Here’s a wishlist to give a sample of what we’re looking for: http://a.co/azB7Blc
Susan G, yes, she got the sneakers and loves them! I thought I posted a thank you. It must have gotten lost in the shuffle. Thank you again! You’re our Christmas angel!
Update…. David got a gift in the mail yesterday, thank you immensely to the generous soul who did that after Christmas. I told the other kids that Santa is working really hard to get to everyone now and sometimes it takes a lot longer than just the one night. I went to try to sell my plasma today to try and get something for the girls, but they turned me away because I didn’t have enough protein in my blood. I’m open to suggestions if anyone else knows of any legal ways to make some money on the side! But, here are the kids lists, one last time, in case anyone has a tiny bit of Christmas cheer left to spread. I love each and every one of you!

Hi everyone
My first visit with the kids went well. I have a home inspection scheduled for next Monday and they’ll determine if I can be considered for unsupervised visits. I’m SOOO hopeful 🙂
I want to get everything in order. I am asking for help one more time, just for some basic home items. Please if you can spare even just good wishes I’ll be so grateful.
Please please
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/27JJUNLK7X13H
Theresa, there are a few things headed your way. You should receive them on Friday. Good luck next week!
I’m getting desperate.
In less than 7 days, my dad will be transferred to a jail with over 4x the inmates it was built to sustain, where men are forced to sleep on the stairs. He was charged of committing a crime that was out of his hands.
Please, if anyone can lend even the smallest token of help or spread the word, we are trying to raise the funds we need on Funded Justice: http://fnd.us/f1JkOf
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.
To Brynn #3830. I am overjoyed to see that you found my comment! I was lost in the hustle and bustle of having company over the past couple weeks, but I woke up this morning and thought “I’ll check one last time, just in case”. Sure enough, Beckett’s list was updated and I found your comment! I’m so happy. I have sent out the magnetic blocks, which should arrive Friday the 19th :). Thank you for responding!
Sprestog, (3838): In case you decide to check once more, thank you. Truly, I cannot thank you enough. You are amazing, and so kind. Christmas was almost a month ago, you had no obligation to us, and yet, Beckett’s blocks were just now delivered. And the note you included was so sweet. He will be over the moon when he gets home from Preschool and finds his gift! Would love to share his joy with you; if you would like, you can email me brynnkimball@hotmail.com (Not sure if this is allowed, but I’m gonna try!) so I may send a picture back!
For anyone who has helped me, thank you.
The visit didn’t go as well as I had hoped, the liaison said she wanted to see me “better prepared” but I’m not sure what else I can possibly do. I am just going to keep hoping for a miracle and hoping for things to improve.
Thank you for everything.
Just wondering when you’re open for postings this year. harley.renesme@gmail.com please let me know.

Hello all
I’m looking to find someone or some ppl to help me grant my ONE and ONLY Christmas wish. I wish that my 5 children wake up on Christmas morning to ONE present to open. I left their dad about 9 months ago in hopes to make a better life for them n myself.
No help. Everything is on me.
I made an amazon wish list with ONE item for each child in hopes I would feel like a complete failure.
Please help this struggling momma with her ONE Christmas wish 🎄🎁🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to all and god bless

Hi I’m a mother of 5 and my family has been struggling financially this year. My husband works over 70 hours a week but we have a lot of medical bills that we still can’t make ends meet. We have a 5 month old girl that has just started teething, a 8 year old beautiful girl who loves dancing and crafts, a 11 year old boy who loves to do Legos and read cartoons, a 15 year old who loves the patriots and games, and a 13 year old boy who loves baseball and playing outside.
Thank you

Promise this will be the last post before Christmas. I’m original post 114/2265. A parcel come today that I have to pick up from the sorting office so Thank you to who sent that(I’m thinking the gloves). Today I found out our flat is getting sold so in the new year we will be homeless so if it wasn’t for you lovely people this Christmas would be truly rubbish!! Fingers crossed it’s not as stressful as I’m thinking just giving the girls a good Christmas in our home we’ve been in 10 years:-(
Hope everyone has a merry Christmas
Best wishes from the UK
