So here’s my giant update: I made it almost 10 hours before running out of money and I was so happy to be able to help so many people. Even more wonderful was how often I’d go to fill a list and find it was already filled. Thank you. Thank you on behalf of the hundreds and hundreds of kids who will have a present to open this year because of you.
Usually we make it to day two or three before it starts to get frustrating and you start to see people asking for crazy amounts of things but this year things got crazy a little quicker. I tried to delete lists where people asked for more than the limits but so I’m exhausted so right now I’m going to just put a big BUYER BEWARE sign out and say that there are probably a lot of wonderful people in the comments who still need help and are asking for a children’s book or a doll and if you can find those people you should help them. But be careful. Click on the filters to see what’s already been bought. Ignore the lists that are insanely long. Or just skip the lists and donate to Project Night Night. Or Toys for Tots. Or buy toys yourself and drop then off at your local shelter or domestic abuse center.
I’m feeling a little cynical right now but I’m going to shake that off because I am lucky to be able to help every child I helped. I’m lucky to not have to worry this year, although I know each year is precarious and fragile. I’m lucky to be surrounded by wonderful people who care and I’m lucky to not be in such a desperate spot that I make questionable decisions.
So tonight I’m going to shake off the frustration and instead say, “thank you.” Thank you to everyone who helped, who asked for help, who felt a stir in their heart. I am so lucky.
And if you happen to have gotten much more than your share of presents, don’t feel guilty. I don’t want that. Those presents are yours to do with as you choose. And if you happen to have asked for far more than you should have, perhaps consider giving those extra presents to a shelter. Bundle your kids up and take them with you. Feel good about giving. Teach your kids how great it feels. Because it does. I promise.
********************
TODAY IS THE NINTH ANNUAL JAMES GARFIELD XMAS MIRACLE, Y’ALL.
Nine years of giving toys to kids who might not otherwise get presents. That’s insane. Almost as insane as the fact that this all began with a giant dead boar named James Garfield.
The backstory: Nine years ago 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 experiencing homelessness, 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.
The JGXM is one of my favorite things ever but it only works if people follow the rules and this year they’re going to be a little stricter so that we can make sure to help as many people as possible. PLEASE read all the rules and directions because if you don’t I may have to delete your post and that would suck for everyone.
- The JGXM is for all children (under age 18) so if you are a parent and you’re struggling this year and don’t know how you’re going to buy you kid a present you can make and submit one wishlist with presents for your kids. The limit is $35 per kid so please don’t ask for more than that because otherwise we can’t help as many children.
- The only exception to the $35 limit is if you have a child that really needs a new coat. Then you can add that as well.
- Do not delete your list after it’s been filled and don’t delete anything that’s been bought. It messes up the process.
- On Friday after lots of the lists have been filled you can come back and add more things to your list if you still need food/pajamas/etc.
- I’m going to go through the details of setting up a list but here are the two things that you really need to catch so I’ll say them twice. Only add things that are “PRIME”. Not only will this make sure you get your toy before Xmas but also most non-Prime sellers won’t ship to wishlist addresses. And you have to set up a brand new wishlist for this which means you MUST go in and assign a shipping address specifically to this new list or it won’t work. Every year hundreds of people forget to do this and it’s so frustrating for them and for the people who can’t help them.
Okay, let’s get started!
If you’re in need here is what you need to do. Please follow each step:
1.Create a list. (On Amazon, when you’re logged in you should see “Accounts & Lists”. Click that and choose “Create a List.”
2. Choose “wish list”. Name your list. Make sure it’s “public”.
3. Go shopping. Pick the thing ($35 limit) you want for each child and click on the “Add to List” dropdown button to add it to your list. Please don’t make a separate list for each child. Just make one list for all of them. Please click here to see an example of what it should look like when it’s done.
4. After your list is complete click on “add comment, quantity & priority” to add a comment about which things are for which kids and what age they are. (You can just use their initials if you want.)
5. This is the part people screw up the most. YOU MUST assign a shipping address to your wishlist. It’s kept private so all we see is the name of your city when we send you stuff. See how it says “None” in the shipping address box below? Don’t do that. Click on it and add your address. Delete the “Don’t Spoil my surprises” check box. Makes sure NONE of the check boxes on the bottom are checked before you save changes. This is so important.
6. Go to “Manage lists” and check again. Does it show your shipping address? Are all of the boxes unchecked? Awesome. Save changes. Copy the page address and come back here to the comments.
7. Your comment should state how many kids you have, their ages, and THE CITY YOUR PRESENTS ARE GOING TO. This is important because if you’re from Canada, for example, I can’t buy for you without paying extra for shipping but there will be people from Canada looking for other Canadians to help and it makes it easier to match up. It’s also necessary because if your city doesn’t match what the gift registry says at checkout we can tell there’s a mistake and not send your gifts to the wrong person. (It happens.)
8. Do not feel bad about asking for help. I suspect all of us (including myself) have been in tough economic situations before and for most of us this is such a wonderful gift to be able to give. In fact, many of the people who come here to donate received help in the past. One day you will pay it forward.
9. One out of 1,000 people will try to game the system here. Please don’t be that person. There’s a limited amount of money so please don’t take away from other children.
10. Be happy and accept my thanks for letting us make this happen.
If you want to donate:
- Find a wishlist. Buy what you want. Proceed to checkout. A page will ask you to choose a shipping address and it’ll probably default to your address so make sure you change it to their address. Usually it’s the first address under “Other addresses” and it’ll say something like “_________’s gift registry address”. On the next page it’ll give you the city it’s being shipped to so you can make sure you have the right address that matches the comment. If they don’t match or you aren’t given an address then they probably made a mistake. Delete everything in your cart and try another list.
- Very rarely someone will ask for more than the limits. If that happens I’ll try to delete their post but just be aware that there’s a lot of trust needed to do this so no worries if it’s not for you. I try to delete anyone that I can tell is gaming the system but I also try to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially when young children are involved. If you have doubts, skip them.
- Be happy and accept my thanks for letting us make this happen.
If the amount of blind trust on this is a bit much for you then a FANTASTIC alternative is Project Night Night, which I cannot recommend enough. Last week I put my Bloggess Calendar up for sale and already $1,400 has been raised to help them help children. You did that. Thank you.
Another quick thing…the money I spend each year on helping kids come directly from you. From advertisers, from people who buy my books, or use my links. If you are a part of this community, know that today I will be giving out over $5,000 in toys because of you. I am so incredibly lucky to be a part of this community.
Okay…let’s do this.
2nd UPDATE: Day 2.
I love you guys so much. Sorry I got snippy last night. I was a little exhausted and overwhelmed and I always panic at how many people won’t be helped. I think next year I’m going to finally accept all the wonderful offers of help that you guys always give. Something automated perhaps, so that the wish lists can be approved first and we can make sure that people include all the info they need and that people aren’t asking for to little or too much. I know it can be complicated and I’m sorry about that. Thanks so much for being so amazing and patient.
I’m going to see if I can find some more cash and maybe drop some more gifts late this afternoon. Love!
This makes my year every year. I can’t wait.
This is seriously my favorite holiday! I have played Mrs. Claus in the past 3 Miracles, and I’m so happy to be able to do it again for a 4th. I especially love sending books!!! Thanks for making this happen, Jenny. I know it’s a ton of work for you.
Thanks for all you do. I love being apart of this community!

Yay! I love buying toys for kids!
I have three kids. My oldest is 16 and he loves music, photography, running, and stuff like that. He cares a lot about his appearance due to bullying and self-esteem. My middle is 8 and he likes books, superheroes, slugterra, ninjago, and math. My youngest is 5 and she likes pretty princesses and pink. She also loves to read. I also have my niece that is 17 that lives with us but she is not expecting much due to her age
is their list which is an older list and has a bunch of stuff on it. The newer stuff has hats and gloves and stuff. I appreciate any help that you can give. We live in Alabaster.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist
(I think you posted the wrong link. Try again? ~ Jenny)
This is hard. My husband, son, and I moved to be nearer to some family members who are older and need help.
I took a job with poorer pay to get us moved here. Moves are expensive. I’m working 3 jobs (1 full time, 2 part time), and my husband is working one very full time job.
Things will get better, but this holiday will be rough for my 6 year old son, who is sweet and does not complain about our circumstances.
I don’t mind a lean holiday for myself, and my husband doesn’t usually want gifts anyways. But when my son matter-of-factly says that we might not have Christmas because ‘we’re poor now,’ I feel like a pretty big failure.
The list for a 6 year old boy:

(Deleting because you didn’t follow the rules. Please let us know how many kids you have and what city you are in resubmit okay? ~ Jenny)
Jenny, you are wonderful, and I am grateful to be able to help. Merry Christmas!
I think maybe I wasn’t clear. You cannot share a list with more than the $35 per kid request (plus coats if needed) or I will delete you. I know a lot of you just want to give options but the problem is that if you give a list with $300 worth of stuff on it and one person buys you $35 worth of toys for your kid the next person won’t know that you’re already bought for and then you end up with hundreds of dollars of toys and other kids get none. So don’t do that, okay?
This is truly my favorite holiday. Every person on my list gets a gift…for someone ELSE… <3
(You just made my day. Thanks! ~ jenny)
You’re such an amazing person Jenny for doing this.
(Deleted. You’re over the limit for both. Please resubmit one new list within the guidelines. ~ Jenny)

Life’s been a little rough this year. My husband is quite a bit older than me and has had health issues this year. He had a stroke in September and was admitted to the hospital and they found out he also has an enlarged heart. In November he was admitted to the hospital for severely low oxygen. He has since been diagnosed with moderate COPD and severe sleep apnea. His health has interfered with work and our finances are suffering as a result. We are behind on all of our bills, it’s depressing but we have each other for support. I just really want my kiddos to have a good Christmas despite everything. I KNOW there’s a lot on this list and I’m not expecting all of it AT ALL! I just added what they have asked for and would be grateful to even get a couple for each child 🙂 thank you so very for all you are doing! Merry Christmas 🎄 ps. I added a few gift cards for my niece, she is only able to wear justice clothes due to sizing and they aren’t cheap. My oldest sister took custody of her and her brother and they can’t afford a lot for them so I though I would try to lighten the load for them. Thank you again. HUGS
-like I said there is a lot on my list but I panicked and didn’t know what to put on it, I am NOT asking to receive everything on it at all 🙂 my kids would be happy with whatever they are blessed with under the tree.

Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1V4EW1K050ZNJ
just wanted to let you know that last week I bought two of the calendars and today saw the money credited back…Zazzle cancelled my order with no notification and I have no idea why. I re-ordered them but thought you should know.
I am a single adoptive mother of four. This has been a tough year for my family as I was diagnosed with a chronic condition that has kept me out of work on FMLA on an off for over a year. I live in constant pain that makes it difficult for me to parent my children and do fun things with them lately. All of whom have special needs (cognitive and behavioral). The guilt I feel is immense. This year, I am desperately asking for help with coats and a few Christmas gifts for my kids as I have not worked in nearly a month and Christmas doesn’t look so good for us. I am scheduled for surgery at the end of January to relive and I hope to find some relief in that. In the interim, I hope to give my children whatvthry deserve the most- a good Christmas. They deserve it. Please consider helping us if you can.
Merry Christmas, all. 💕 Milwaukee, WI

Meg in SC – Merry Christmas
Love JG’s new look. 😉 You are the true miracle for providing this forum and doing so much oversight work. You definitely deserve an extra vodka-bacon-tini! 🙂
@Lisa #23, I’m crying at work (for a good reason! The best reason!) for the first time ever. 😀 This means so much. I moved to be here to help family get to Dr. appts and things like that, so I expected some sacrifices, but this has been so hard. And you’ve helped so much.
I’m still kind of mourning our old lifestyle, but I’m so grateful for this, and hoping that by next year I can be at the other end of the process (I’ve participated in Bookgiving, though).
Happiest of holidays to everyone!
Its a struggle every year. You have no idea how much of a blessing this is. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Moved across the country twice this year. And I just landed my dream job in non-profit community mental health, but getting paid pennies, as it goes.
I don’t think the kiddos would appreciate a wrapped up gas bill or grocery receipt.
Here are some gifts that I think would blow them away. Luckily, they aren’t media/video game kids, so simple gifts make their tiny hearts soar.
This big family of 6 live in Eugene Oregon. We have 4 kids, Gabriel (8), Sebastian (6), Theodore (4) and Hattie (2).
Here is our list: http://a.co/0u78cMj
Thank you for considering our giant family and thank you from the bottom of my very grateful heart!

I forgot to mention that the gifts on the wishlist are coming to Kalamazoo Michigan. We do a big family holiday yearly.
I have 5 kids. 4 was the end but then surprise! That’s part of what makes this year so tough to manage and why I’m hoping for a bit of help. The older 4 are basically all teenagers and well aware of the fact that things are tight and thus aren’t expecting anything. I just want to be able to surprise them with a little Christmas joy 🙂
I tried to stay within parameters but I know prices and availability can change so I’ll try to keep up to date on everything and change/remove as needed.
Thank you from all of us!

Due to my teenage son attempting to commit suicide and him needing to be in the hospital for several weeks, I missed a lot of work. After that I have been back and forth a lot with doctors visits and therapists and missing even more work so its been a pretty tight November and December. I do not know even how we will afford Christmas this year. I have a few small things I purchased early in the year but that’s it.
I have three kids. My oldest is 16 and he loves music, photography, running, and stuff like that. He cares a lot about his appearance due to bullying and self-esteem. My middle is 8 and he likes books, superheroes, slugterra, ninjago, and math. My youngest is 5 and she likes pretty princesses and pink. She also loves to read. I also have my 17 niece but she isnt expecting anything due to her age.
is their list. I appreciate any help that you can give. We are in Alabaster.
(Deleted. You are still over the limit. It’s $35 per child. Your total should be around $105. ~ Jenny)
I’m so happy to be doing this. Thus is the first year i get to play Mrs. Claus and spoil others. I did a craft show just so i can do this. Already got gifts for everyone on my lists.

They told me to get ready to escape, the minute I had a chance. But I’m a stay at home mom. I don’t have any money. I can’t get passports. Not for any of my 4 kids, and they all need them. There is a gofundme set up for trying to get the kids their citizenship and their passports. I don’t have enough yet.
It also means I don’t hate bought money for Christmas presents. My husband won’t give me money, as he says the kids don’t deserve any with their behaviour, and the twins won’t remember. We have no decorations. I explain this to the older two that next year we will, because next year the boys won’t destroy everything.
My plan has been to asave money from what he gives me for groceries, and spend it at Poundland for the kids for some presents. I’m also making them coupon books, giving them time with me, or coupons that can be used at the £3 theater later on, stuff I can save for. Social services has gotten one present for each of the older two, stating the twins are too young to know any better. They are also giving us a food basket, to help me save a little to buy a few presents.
I hate knowing my kids are emotionally abused. My older two are. I know it. I talk to them about it. I tell them if I could escape, if I could get us out, I would. They are aware that we have people coming to our house, trying to get us out of our situation. Social services thinks my mil calling them was an attempt to make me look like a bad parent for when I try to escape. She is constantly telling me I’m not allowed to take the twins to America to visit.
I hate begging for help. But my kids don’t deserve to not have Christmas. I could use the gofundme money and give them Christmas, but that money was earned for passports and getting the twins American citizenship. I don’t even have half of what I need, so I’m not even touching that.
So I’m grateful to any help I can get. I’m grateful that this event even happens.
My eldest is my 13yo son. He is amazing, helps me so much. Right now my husband is screaming at me because between this year and last, mostly last, while I was in the hospital, he missed 8 days of school. So now we have a £120 truancy bill. If it’s not paid by January 7th, it can go to £1000. I don’t know how to pay it. My husband told my son that that’s where all his Christmas present money is going. Him and his sister’s. So he feels guilty over that. He loves games and anime and origami and math.
My daughter is 9. She loves sewing and cooking and crafts. She adores slime. She is my mad scientist.
One of my twins is a climber. They are 21 months but neither has a lot of words. The non climber just started walking everywhere. They need clothes, they’ve had a major growth spurt. To say they were tiny is an understatement, they are 21 months, and I’m about to start buying 12-18 month old clothes. At least we are off oxygen this winter.

#29 – A little bit is on the way.
Thank you so much for the blessing of the James Garfield Miracle.
My husband and I have 3 kids, ages 12, 11, and 6. We are from WV. We have hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills for our 6 year old. Not complaining, because we are truly blessed, he is in remission from leukemia and he is doing great. Because of neurocognitive issues (side effect of chemo) he doesn’t remember celebrating Christmas before this year (and doesn’t remember much of anything before this year actually). We are excited to be celebrating his 1st Christmas (haha) this year… we would love to make it special for all the kids because his siblings have been an amazing support for him. Thank you all. <3 God bless, I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Jenny, I can’t give this year because of a change in circumstances, but I wanted to tell you that I think this is wonderful, I think you are wonderful, and I think the people who come here to give to others are wonderful. And for those people who need this year – Don’t feel bad or let it affect your self-esteem. Many of us have been in the same boat. Fortunes change both up and down. Don’t let it define who you are. Have a WONDERFUL holiday season.

I hope I did this right! I have three boys- one is 9, and I have 3 year old twins. One of my 3 year olds has multiple disabilities, and just had major reconstructive surgery on his feet/legs last week. I became unemployed this year, and it’s just generally been a stressful time. My kids all believe in Santa, and I don’t want to let them down this year. I greatly appreciate all your help! <3 Can’t wait for the day I can give back. — North Canton, Ohio, USA
Tip for those buying – click “Filter & Sort” on the lists and click “Purchased and Unpurchased” so you can see everything that has been bought.
My link doesn’t look like the others and I have no clue what that means. When I try to share it it will give me an option to do so by email but the link still looks different. This is the only other link I can find to share.

I feel like a failure, but if you guys would be able and willing to maybe snag 1 or 2 things off my kids’ Amazon lists, that would be awesome.
We’re struggling this year with hubbs losing his job and being unemployed for 3 months and spending my entire savings on staying afloat and saving our 2nd cat from dying a week after his sister died.
I’m trying to sell as much stuff as I can and to pick up side jobs organizing/moving/doing yard work and clean outside, but no one seems to need anything I can offer at the moment.

We have five children. W is the oldest, he will be 18 at the first of the year. He is both physically and mentally disabled, so toys are not on our radar, but rather keeping him clothed and comfy. He’s our big, sweet boy who has an infectious smile and LOVES Disney movies. Next are the girls, M and N, 16 and different as night and day. M is our make-up loving bookworm who plans on being a teacher. N was clearly meant to be a grunge era teen, is a sarcastic tomboy, and plans on being a doctor. A will be 15 right before Christmas, poor kid. He is autistic, has a brilliant mind, and loves to figure out how things work. When asked what he wants to be as an adult, his standard reply is Albert Einstein. D is the youngest, sure that he’s a grown up at 10. He loves construction and creating things and wants to be an astronaut/cop/architect.
Thank you for considering our family! Wishing you all the happiest of holidays!

Hi Everyone! I am actually fine not getting anything for Christmas, but I have a last minute beautiful foster child who is not going to be receiving anything from her biological family, and since she was such a late placement, I was unable to sign her up for any holiday assistance and it will be a few weeks before we begin receiving funds from the state to take care of her. If anyone is feeling generous and would like to help me make sure she has things to open under the tree on Christmas morning, we would be so very grateful! Thank you!

I live paycheck to paycheck, literally, and rarely can afford presents or fun stuff for my kids. When Christmas comes around I always feel like such a crappy mom because I can’t get my kids the stuff they want, or need (clothes, shoes, etc..) I know that things aren’t important, but it still hurts to see them disappointed. Long story short, this miracle helps my kids have a Christmas they wouldn’t be able to have otherwise, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have three sweet babies, Bella (age 8), Sebastian (age 4, almost 5) and Violet (age 3). Bella loves board games, reading, and horses. Sebastian loves dinosaurs, Pokemon, and acting like he’s actually 14, not 4. (god help me). Violet loves animals, monster trucks, and sparkly stuff. She’s the perfect mixture of girly and tomboy.
PS: Everything on the list from the clothes up is for this and everything below is my general Christmas wishlist.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hi Jenny,
A few years ago during The James Garfield Miracle, a bunch of amazing people helped me provide warm coats and toys for children at the elementary school where I was a social worker. This year, I’ve made a similar wishlist, but for children of families at the nonprofit where I volunteer. The nonprofit is called Juntos (which means “together” in Spanish :), and they provide support for Latino immigrants and refugees. Given the current political climate, it felt important to me to find a quantifiable and tangible way to help. I am hoping that my wishlist will help Juntos’s neediest families give gifts to their children this year.
My Amazon wishlist does fit all of your requirements – nothing is over $35. However, the list is for about 50 children (all of whom I consider partly “my own”, because I love them, hehe.) and therefore may not fit within your stricter requirements this year. If it’s not okay to post this, please do delete my comment. <3
This is the link to the wishlist: http://a.co/0eWovWQ

My name’s jade and I like in the UK. This is my wish list for my 2 daughter’s who are 4 & 10.
This Christmas I am really struggling to buy them gifts. My wage just about covers our bills so I thought I would work extra hours to get extra money for christmas but this just meant my benefits that help with rent was lowered so the extra money I earnt had to go straight to rent to keep a roof over my girls this Christmas.I worked so hard i made myself I’ll and my mental health & Anxiety took a knock therefore making me have to take time off,so really it was all for nothing 🙁 I would really appreciate any help that any one could give us this Christmas holiday,my girls will be very happy with any gifts they recieve. I have kept gifts to the lowest possible price so they can get more for the budget set. Thank you and merry Christmas to everyone xx

I’m posting for a coworker who did not have enough maternity leave for her little one and because of this did not receive pay for most of the 12 weeks that she was out.

Life’s been a little rough this year. My husband is quite a bit older than me and has had health issues this year. He had a stroke in September and was admitted to the hospital and they found out he also has an enlarged heart. In November he was admitted to the hospital for severely low oxygen. He has since been diagnosed with moderate COPD and severe sleep apnea. His health has interfered with work and our finances are suffering as a result. We are behind on all of our bills, it’s depressing but we have each other for support. I just really want my kiddos to have a good Christmas despite everything. I just added what they have asked for and would be grateful to even get one for each child 🙂 thank you so very for all you are doing! Merry Christmas 🎄 ps. I added a few gift cards for my niece, she is only able to wear justice clothes due to sizing and they aren’t cheap. My oldest sister took custody of her and her brother and they can’t afford a lot for them so I though I would try to lighten the load for them. Thank you again!!

katbalog – comment 51 – My teenage son was also in the hospital for a suicide attempt this year. I got the workout bar, but it wouldn’t let me add a gift message. I hope that you all are doing better. We have been blessed by the James Garfield Miracle twice, and we’re finally doing well enough to get a few things for people. So, when I read about your son, I had to get him something.
Having a child in that situation is the worst feeling in the whole world. My son is doing better now, I will pray for your family. Merry Christmas!

My name is Jamesha. I am a mother of three girls Marissa, Kylie and Trisha. Marissa is 9, Kylie is 5 and Trisha is 7. Kylie has been undergoing cancer treatments since July after we found an unexplainable growth on her scalp. I can’t sugar coat how horrible of a year it has been for our family. To see my daughter constantly in pain hurts me deeply as a parent. I’ve been on my own and caring for my little girls since they were born and I honestly feel helpless at this point. I don’t have money to give them the Christmas I’m sure that they would like. But we do have each other and I know that means a lot too. Two of my daughters really need coats and are walking around in thick sweatshirts. I know that is sad of me to admit as a parent but Kylie’s medical bills have been piling up. They really need coats.
I want to say thank you in advance for whomever finds it in their heart to help our family.

Hello all- this is seriously my favorite thing EVER. Every year reading the comments and stories and thanks and love makes this holiday a bit warmer. I have two teenagers here in Ohio.
Lydia- 17 bookworm, in college in her dorm until I steal her back Saturday. She’s goofy and unique and a chatterbox who loves to cocoon and read until I throw food her way.
Scott- Mr. Social Athlete who never stops moving. He runs, he works on jet skis, he plays football, he cuts firewood. He’s kind of my little boy hero except that he just OUTGREW ME AND I’M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. Ok. I am happy he’s a growing, healthy kid. The bugger.
We’re doing decent this year with the exception of kidney surgery (Lydia), knee surgery (Scott), and back surgery (me) and a mountain of medical bills that I’ve put in a pile and glare at on a regular basis.
You all are truly the best. Thank you. Much love to you and your families this year.

Our lives have been drastically changed this year. My wife passed away and I am trying to do everything on my own from juggling work, therapy and the kids extra curricular school activities. She was the one who took them to school, doctors, etc and also held a job. I’m not one that asks for help and always try to do things on my own but I’ve quickly realized that it’s impossible. I’m reaching out to anyone today that can help me give my kids a happy Christmas as they have been through a lot and my oldest daughter that is 10 has turned into her mom trying to do everything she did. I wish I could give them the world on my own. I have listed different things they wanted on Amazon. Not everything needs to be purchased but I posted to give ideas of what they want. Thank you and God Bless in advance . Merry Christmas to all!

Jenny, you are such an inspiration.
Anonymous 76 – I’ve got three toys on their way to you! Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas. 😊🌲
This year has been a rollercoaster for me. After years of struggling, last year I finally worked up the nerve to talk to my doctors at our local Veteran’s Hospital about my depression and anxiety. Thank you, Jenny, and bloggers like you who aren’t afraid to make that conversation normal. Anyway, at the beginning of this year I finally started to feel human again with really healthy emotions and so I started job searching. My husband has shouldered a huge burden taking care of the five us us while I worked through all of this. I finally got hired at a dream job for me. I’m the newest librarian at our local library! Mentally and physically, I’m not able to work for more than 10 hours a week but it is a start that i’m really proud of. I made it a goal to buy a small gift for Christmas or birthdays with every one of my tiny paychecks. Unfortunately this fall an electrical fire destroyed my garage and my little stash of gifts was out there. I’m grateful we’re all safe. I’m grateful I have so far been strong enough to keep my head above the waters trying to pull me back down. But my poos older kids had to use all their money from their summer jobs to help us get through this and pay for things they shouldn’t have had to.I want to be able to put some thing under the tree so they know how grateful I am.
A is a 16 year old young lady who had a rough go of it this year when a friend outed her as bisexual without her permission and her first relationship crumbled because of it. this years had to pay her own way through band camp. She expresses herself through photography and i picked out a nice little accessory kit for her polaroid style camera.
L is a 14 year old boy. He’s very driven and got a job at our local amusement park so he could start saving to be an exchange student in Denmark for his junior year. Instead, he bought his own sneakers and uniform for basketball. He loves puzzles and games so I chose a cold puzzle I think he’d like.
J is a 5 year old boy who is just excited about the magic of the holiday and unaware of what troubles we’ve face. he loves dinosaurs and cars and I found a racetrack that combines the two.
If you can help even with one gift, I would be so grateful. We live in Northwestern PA for shipping purposes.

They recently fled their home due to domestic violence and could use some comfort this year. Not to get too detailed with their circumstances, but Mom is beginning employment after not being “allowed” outside contact, makeup, et cetera for years. Because of this she is very self conscious. I would love to “adopt” them for Christmas, but can not afford to provide more than stockings and a temporary spare room. The local programs require sign up a few months ahead so they missed that already. It would be wonderful to be able to put some packages under the tree for them. God bless.

I have one six year old daughter. I’m a single mom. We live with my parents, but they will be at the beach (wtf?!) for Christmas this year, so I’ve borrowed money to fly to family in Wisconsin to be with them on Christmas day (we live in the Southeastern United States). For shipping purposes, we’ll be in Wisconsin.
My company has downsized and my role got slashed to part time in the spring, and it has been more difficult than I thought it would be to keep my head above water (and to find another job, oddly enough). I have Primary Selective Immunodeficiency (Type IgA), so there are a lot of days where I’m sick or exhausted or whatever when I’d much rather be super mom. As hard as it is to ask for some help, I guess maybe my super power right now is admitting that I need some help.
Emory, my daughter, loves graphic novels. She is newly into Harry Potter and loves it. She loves her cat and her three fish she won at the fair, and she loves Narwhals. If anyone wants to help at all, I will never ever forget the kindness shown here. And if our list isn’t chosen, I’ll still always think of the amazing hearts of the folks in this community. Thank you so much. Link (hopefully this is correct) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1LI55VUWFWZ0P

Hi, It’s another crazy tight year here.
I managed to save for 2 small gifts for each of my kids. Ordered them pre-strike and now they are caught up in the Canada Post post-strike backlog. I don’t even know if they’ll make it before the 25.:( Combined with some messed up new logic that my disability worker had in November to split my benefits into bi-weekly vs once a month and I’m not able to catch a break to even cover bills since I have to pay more for fewer things in 2 grocery shops vs bulk shopping in 1.
Wow. That rambles. But my kids… my kids are amazing and are my sunshine. DS is 10, has autism, and is currently obsessed with using chopsticks, and truly wants the Lego Star Wars advent that is sold out locally.
DD is 17, and refuses to ask for anything. But she desperately needs a coat and backpack with working zippers.
We have a temporary guest of a would be homeless pregnant teen this year. They’ve got a complicated story and I’ve got no issue going hungry if it means they don’t.I didn’t include them because I don’t know their needs yet.
If you made it this far- bless your heart. Any help is truly appreciated and will be paid forward! Thank you.

(Looks like your wishlist has ben fulfilled! ~ Jenny)
Just to reiterate, I will delete any lists asking for more than $35 per kid (not including coats if needed). Do not fill lists asking for more than the amount because then some kids get a ton of stuff and others get nothing. I know a lot of you are doing it because you want to give options but it’s too easy to have lots of people fill your lists without realizing you’ve already been helped.
Also, please don’t forget to include your city in your comment.
One other thing, if you try to buy something and Amazon says it’s a duplicate then it’s already bought. Delete and try another list. 🙂
Thanks so much!
Back to work… 🙂

THE LIST https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3C1UCQEFPJG5A?&sort=default
This popped into my inbox, and I broke a little. I wanted so much to be able to help this year, to pay it forward for others. Sadly, this year has not been kind to us, my husband struggled with manic depression and bipolar disorder his whole life, in June, he committed suicide and our family has been devasted by this loss, not just emotionally and mentally, but financially as well. I am struggling to keep the roof over our heads and pay off the funeral expenses. I don’t want the girls first Christmas without their dad to be an empty, joyless day. I’m once again putting myself at the mercy of strangers, help my girls, they don’t deserve the cards that life has dealt them. They haven’t asked for anything specific, so I added things that I know they could use.
I’ve made one list for both girls, mostly its socks and underwear, warm hat for Cici, cheap shoes for Hazel, she’s outgrown everything she owns this year. Cici is my artistic nerd, so there are supplies she’s run out of or mentioned. Hazel is harder being my girly girl, but I added a few things that I hope to make her smile.
My girls are 12 and 15, and we now live in a tiny town called Harrison Arkansas.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1JF563J7REZQ4
Again, thank you all….. I can never repay this kindness, but I will always pay it forward.
Hi, everyone!
I’m a single mom of one (an 8-year-old son). We live in a small town called Searcy, Arkansas.
My son and I love playing board games and reading together. There aren’t a ton of games out there that are designed for just 2 players, but I did find one that has tons of great reviews that sounds like it would be fun for us. I also found a fully illustrated print version of an audiobook we have been listening to. We’d love to have either of these!
Here’s our list: https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3LCY75Y5E664H
Note: When I added the book to our list, I thought it was $14.99, which would have put the total right under $35. However, it turns out THAT is the price for the ebook. 😦 The physical book is $2 more right now (it’s usually $39.99 from the looks of it, so this is a super sale!), so the total came out to $36.89. We’d be happy with the ebook version since we do have a Kindle Fire, but the print book would be amazing! I hope that’s ok. I saw that we’re not supposed to go over $35 and am not sure if the print book’s pricing messes that up.
Anyways, thanks for doing this! Even if we aren’t picked, it makes me happy knowing that so many families will have one less thing to worry about this year. 😀
Jenny … I am a special education teacher for an emotionally disturbed classroom. How would I post a list for kids in my classroom? They are all needing extra things for Christmas and coats, hats, gloves, socks, some even need new shoes. My email is jbotts@blackwell.k12.ok.us

I’m so glad you’re doing this again this year, it was honestly a lifesaver last year. I was hoping to be able to be an elf this year instead of a recipient, but I had a bit of a surprise pop up- she is due in just a few weeks 💓 So, working extra hours has been a bit tough to do lately. But, I officially only have one more semester and I will be a college graduate, so I know next year I will be in a much better place, thank goodness!
We live in Henderson, NV (Right outside Vegas)
I have a 14 year old boy whose life revolves around clothes, basketball, and making music, an 8 year old boy who really wants an easy bake oven “Even though my friends think that’s for girls, but that’s dumb.” dude… It’s snacks. How can you gender a snack? And baby girl Deja is due the 31st (please come sooner I am literally going to explode and OMG the swelling and heartburn heeellllp)
I put a few things the boys asked for, and a few things I could really use for the baby.
Thank you so much for all the amazing angels that I know are making miracles as we speak. I love you all,and thank you 💓

Hi my name is Jose and I have 4 kids. 3 girls 10,5,4 and a boy that is 7 with Autism.
Our lives have been drastically changed this year. My wife passed away and I am trying to do everything on my own from juggling work, therapy and the kids extra curricular school activities. She was the one who took them to school, doctors, etc and also held a job. I’m not one that asks for help and always try to do things on my own but I’ve quickly realized that it’s impossible. I’m reaching out to anyone today that can help me give my kids a happy Christmas as they have been through a lot and my oldest daughter that is 10 has turned into her mom trying to do everything she did. I wish I could give them the world on my own. I have listed different things they wanted on Amazon. Not everything needs to be purchased but I posted to give ideas of what they want. Thank you and God Bless in advance . Merry Christmas to all!

(Deleted. You are over the $35 per kid limit. ~ Jenny)
I lost my job this summer but I’ve since found good, steady employment. Unfortunately, the months in between caused a lot of debt and hard times for myself and my four kids. I ended up having to move back in with my parents in my hometown. I was very worried about providing this year but then remembered that I was part of this last year and was relieved and grateful to see it happening again.
Luckily for me, my kids (girls age 11 and 14 and boys 13 and 17) aren’t expecting much so it makes things much easier. I just feel like a failure when I can’t even put much food on the table (we basically live on ramen and pbjs at the moment, wish this was a bit of a food drive lol) so gifts are a luxury that, if it weren’t for Jenny, we wouldn’t have.
Thank you for the consideration and for any light shined upon us.

Here is what I put on my previous comment
Due to my teenage son attempting to commit suicide and him needing to be in the hospital for several weeks, I missed a lot of work. After that I have been back and forth a lot with doctors visits and therapists and missing even more work so its been a pretty tight November and December. I do not know even how we will afford Christmas this year. I have a few small things I purchased early in the year but that’s it.
I have three kids. My oldest is 16 and he loves music, photography, running, and stuff like that. He cares a lot about his appearance due to bullying and self-esteem. My middle is 8 and he likes books, superheroes, slugterra, ninjago, and math. My youngest is 5 and she likes pretty princesses and pink. She also loves to read.

Jenny, #185–I hope you and your boys have a lovely Christmas. Your list is fulfilled! However, the foam darts didn’t have the option to ship by Christmas. 🙁 I will be in London missing my family over Christmas (I’m American) for a study abroad program. I will be thinking of you while I’m there!
We live in Milwaukee, WI. We are a family of 3 with a 5 year old and a 6 month old, both little boys. It was a hard year for us, as my pregnancy was complicated and I was out of work unpaid for most of the year and went into a lot of debt. I just want the boys to have a good Christmas. Jason is 5 and loves science and space. He is really into science experiments, mixing colors, reading at night and learning new things in general. He is high-functioning autistic, so his interests are strong but he can be a challenge for me, nevertheless he is an amazing and intelligent boy. Beige is a baby, he loves mirrors and is learning to sit up well, so we hope for things that catch his interest.
Ok, this is me again, except not. Every year we try to help out my son’s best friend’s family (here in NY) because they seem to have even worse luck than we do, and fewer places to turn for help both because they are Muslim (and most offline charities are Christian-based, for that version of Christian which means you don’t love your neighbor as you’d love yourself) and because the Mom has no way of getting online. So, I have a separate list for them, for gift cards so that the kids — H-, age 13, and F-, age 12 — can pick out some new clothes for themselves instead of wearing whatever the closest thing that fits is, from what they can inherit from their cousins.

Jenni #274, from my spectrum/sensory boy to yours!
I’ve thought very hard about whether or not to ask for help, hoping until the last minute that I’d be able to do something. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that will be the case, so I’m going to go ahead and put our story out there.
Hubby has MS and this year it got bad enough that he was let go from his teaching position. Eventually we lost our house. Now our family of 6 is crammed into two bedrooms at my father in law’s…and he does NOT want us here. We aren’t allowed to put up a Christmas tree or anything, so I wasn’t sure if we would celebrate at all. And then I thought, screw that! My boys deserve SOMETHING for Christmas, even if their scrooge of a grandfather doesn’t want to acknowledge it.
We are hoping hubby’s disability claim goes through soon so we can get out of here, but until then, my meager salary is barely paying bills and treatment for hubby. I’ve limited the list to one book and one item that they need or want that can work in our very limited living space. My father in law is not easy to live with and all of us will be happier when we have other living arrangements. Until then…
Thank you to anyone who is able to help. I know four kids is a lot to ask for presents for, but I’m hoping for something to open on Christmas day that I can pretend is from my husband and I.
We’re in Miramar, Florida

A bit about the kids. JT is seventeen, he helps look out for his siblings and helps with anything around the house without complaining and often does things without even being ask. He recently started a small part time job after school to help his mom out with bills and is wanting to start a career in the medical field in the future. He is in need of long sleeve shirts so I put a two pack on his list, the two comic books and game are options for him as well. LS is sixteen she is a big reader, likes to create things from scratch like cookies and cakes, she wants to be a baker and a photographer when she is older. She is slightly overweight and has been dealing with a lot this year, she had a bit of a breakdown earlier this year that was really hard on her and on us as a family. She needs and wants a new pair of shoes but the pair she really wants are too expensive for us, if she only received the shoes it would be alright. The writing set, light and face oil are also wishes of hers. C is 8 and he loves building, playing outside, catching bugs, reading and playing video games with his siblings. M is ten she loves reading, crafts, drawing and animals she wants to be a vet when she is older. Their wishlist is http://a.co/4OORu9V all of the kids will enjoy anything sent they all know times get tough and are alright with skipping Christmas this year if we end up not getting help, they all had been begging to go see the snow but we can’t afford a hotel either so I am just posting to see if each can get one or two gifts to make their holidays brighter thank you.

AM from comment 289: I should have said I have a six year old son, huh? I’m just flustered.
Grateful for the opportunity to bring some joy to others (both the kiddos, and the parents who wish they could give them the world). Thanks, Jenny!
#206 here, forgot to put the city. We are in Lansing, MIchigan.
Tiffannie @232 — I have those same shoes! (And the no-tie shoelaces are on my own wishlist.) A couple things for each of your kids are coming your way.
I am a hardworking mom of 4 that refuses to let rent/bills steal1 Christmas from my kids. Ben 13, Marissa 8, Conner 3 & Daniel 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to being able to pay it forward one day. Merry Christmas to everyone on this blog and thank you Jenny for doing this.

My son is 16, his name is Bryan, which I know is old for this list compared to most kids, but he really does deserve a good Christmas. I know it’s not his fault for having a mom that can’t figure out how to get through a 90 day review without having an “ER Panic Attack” (what we call them in our family) and quitting her job in a split second decision, (I managed it twice this last year to get to the 90 day review, and some years I can’t do it all, so it is getting better, I think)
I would be eternally grateful for any help with my sons’ list.
Thank you,
Cynthia

I hope I didn’t duplicate my post. Sorry if I did.
#285, do you have an address plugged in? it;s not giving me a gift address to ship to…
#157 I grabbed a few things off your list.
Kris @56, I’ve picked one gift each for the elder two and one to share for the toddlers. I wish I could do more. I grew up in a home where Christmas was a nightmare because at any point from Dec 1st up to Christmas Day, we could expect my male DNA contributor to kick off and make us miserable. He gaslighted my mum and physically and emotionally abused all three of us. Get out of that situation as soon as you are able, my mum didn’t feel able to and then he left her 9 yrs ago and now she is happier than she’s been since she met him. This also means I no longer have to see him, which is awesome, but I just wish it had happened sooner so I could have been a kid and maybe not have all the negative voices still haunting me at age 48.
I wish you and your kids all the best. You are doing the best that you can in a difficult situation, don’t let him tell you different. You are stronger and braver than you think and I hope you find the internal and external resources that you need to keep yourself and your kids safe.
This organisation may be able to offer you help and put you in touch with places that can help you without you needing to access public funding. https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/

Jenny, you never cease to warm my heart. Your presence on this earth has affected my life in so many positive ways, it’s hard to explain. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart 💗
Also, thank you to all of the amazing people who give to this every year. No have been a recipient for my kids in the past and it’s one of the most amazing, kind-hearted gestures of good will that you can give to someone. Helping a parent be a little bit more of a hero for their kids on Christmas is the nicest gift you can give a parent that’s struggling around the holidays. My faith in humanity is constantly renewed by people like you all. Thank you and happy holidays to everyone!
Hi there. We were on the right track for this year, until the oldest child lost his job (he paid utilities as rent) AND wrecked his car. We’ve had to use our holiday savings to pay the unexpected bills and the deductible to get his car fixed. We have 4 kids in the house, 3 of which qualify for JGM. G is 16, J is 12 and L is 11. I have also added D to our list- he is the son of my co-worker. They are really struggling- they have $10 to get them through the next 2 weeks.
Any packages would be shipped to New Cumberland, PA. Thank you in advance!

I took in my sister and her three kiddos last month. They lost everything in a fire and have nothing. It’s been rough on them, compounded by the fact her middle daughter has sensory issues and this whole ordeal has been very traumatic for her. We are in desperate need for a new weighted blanket so her daughter can sleep at night, which hasn’t happened hardly at all since they have been here because it is a new, strange house. They are super expensive but I found the absolute cheapest one I could, hoping maybe for a miracle. The girls are sweet and scared and wondering if Santa will find them at our house and if he knows that they don’t have a house anymore. They love animals and games and to paint and color. Thank you for anyone who can help.

Hi! I’m Rachel and I live in Rome, Georgia with my three beautiful kids, 15, 8 & 6. We have had a second half of the year that at times I wasn’t sure I could crawl out of. But, by the grace of God we did it, and while every day is a new day, every day is full of love and thanksgiving. The kids had each attended 3 different schools before mid September, and I was funneling through severe anxiety and depression behind any closed door I could find. The last five months have been a struggle I never thought I’d see. And, I wish upon wishes that my children see me with my head above the water, instead of the way I feel at times like I have no control.
The first half of the year was positive, healthy an on what I thought was the right track. We moved in with my fiance in July, three weeks before the wedding, in order to get the kids settled in school. His true colors showed in anger, fists and foot kicks only eight days later. I had sold or donated almost everything we had to combine us into his fully furnished house. I almost left that first night, but the kids were sleeping, he was sorry, yada yada… On Day ten of our new “life together” (still pre marriage thankfully) it happened again when I got up in the middle of the night and accidentally woke him up. I got the kids to school, he left for work, and I called my brother. He came and got us and everything we still had and we left, eleven days before the wedding. I’m mortified that I ended up in that situation, but I’m thankful that this happened BEFORE we were married. I almost refused to move in until after the wedding.
The kids and I returned to the town we had left just weeks prior with nowhere to live, very little money (he emptied the joint bank account we had started in June), no job and a small uhaul. It was mortifying, and scary. We “couch surfed” for about three (that’s hard when there are four of you) weeks while I searched for a job, place to live and schools for the kids. Schools wouldn’t take them without an address, couldn’t get an address without a job, couldn’t get a job until I got the kids in school. I hadn’t felt so defeated in many, many years.
I found an apartment with the help of my brother, and we moved in at the beginning of September.
The last week of September I was offered a job as a Special Education Paraprofessional in the school system. I’m two months in and incredibly thankful, grateful and blessed with the most loving and supportive children behind me. We work hard to make it work, it’s still a struggle but I just got my first official paycheck last Friday (paid monthly, but in arrears) and the utility bills are paid! Never been so excited to pay bills in my life.
That said, there is just not anything left for Christmas presents. I’m having foot surgery in a week and a half and will be non weight bearing for two months, which puts me out on leave until almost January. We lost my father the week before Thanksgiving this year and it felt like the hits just keep on coming. My mother passed on Christmas Eve four years ago so the holidays have taken on some more sadness bundled in to love, thankfulness, praise and sharing.
Some days I look in the mirror and just wonder why? I pray and ask God why. And the answer I keep hearing is you are right where you are supposed to be. Trust me. So, I’m trusting, and I keep getting out of bed every morning. I love with everything I have. I give with everything I can. And I share with everyone I can, as I drive Uber on the side and have spoken with countless people about my story and how it CAN be done. Isn’t easy, and it isn’t over, but we can do this together.
Thank you for any help you share with my children. You’ll never know how thankful I am.
I have a wish list for them here

Thanks for setting this up Jenny! Last year my family didn’t have a way to get presents for my siblings and I, and the wonderful people here helped so much! I’m so glad to be able to give back this year, even if it’s not a whole lot. Everyone have a wonderful holiday!
(Looks like your list has been filled. ~ Jenny)
Hi everyone a friend of mine sent me here and I am hoping I can find a bit of holiday help for my kids. Two are teens and they are harder to shop for so I put 3-4 assorted items for each kid they only need one or two but it was just to give options to who ever wants to help. This year has been extra rough on us we went through a big family loss, loss of income and one of our teens had a bit of a breakdown due to feeling bullied over weight. The holiday is looking bleak and we can’t afford to do anything this year any help would be appreciated. It was hard finding things in the limit which is why I gave one or two options they only need a gift or two, with what each likes and wants it was hard to pick things to add.
A bit about the kids. JT is seventeen, he helps look out for his siblings and helps with anything around the house without complaining and often does things without even being ask. He recently started a small part time job after school to help his mom out with bills and is wanting to start a career in the medical field in the future. He is in need of long sleeve shirts so I put a two pack on his list, the two comic books and game are options for him as well. LS is sixteen she is a big reader, likes to create things from scratch like cookies and cakes, she wants to be a baker and a photographer when she is older. She is slightly overweight and has been dealing with a lot this year, she had a bit of a breakdown earlier this year that was really hard on her and on us as a family. She needs and wants a new pair of shoes but the pair she really wants are too expensive for us, if she only received the shoes it would be alright. The writing set, light and face oil are also wishes of hers. C is 8 and he loves building, playing outside, catching bugs, reading and playing video games with his siblings. M is ten she loves reading, crafts, drawing and animals she wants to be a vet when she is older. Their wishlist is all of the kids will enjoy anything sent they all know times get tough and are alright with skipping Christmas this year if we end up not getting help, they all had been begging to go see the snow but we can’t afford a hotel either so I am just posting to see if each can get one or two gifts to make their holidays brighter thank you.

I have 5 kids and we live in the US and this year has been hard. I have a 13 year old daughter and added doll clothes and squishies for her on the list. I added pokemon cards and a plush each for my 12 and 10 year old sons. For my 8 year old daughter I added doll clothes and a stuffed animal. My youngest is 2 and obsessed with pj mask, books, and fish. I put a pj mask dress up set for him and a cute educational book. Thank you so much for any help you can give. We are so greatful.

I thought we would be ok this year but my moms health went down hill and her meds are out of this sight. I have 3 beautiful granddaughters. Two of them I have joint custody of with my Mother and the girls mother. In January I was blessed with my youngest granddaughter. We almost lost my daughter in law and she is having a lot of medical problems still and this is why I added my youngest granddaughter. Their Names are Lindsay (9years old), LaRae(5 years old), LeeAnn(11 months old). I hope it is ok that I added LeeAnn.

Nicole @#240 – happy to support an aspiring baker and patriarchy-smasher. <3
I really look forward to this event every year. Seeing a community come together to help those who truly need a boost is beautiful. It’s heartening to know kids who might otherwise have gone without, will instead have a happy Christmas.
I’d like to warn folks that there are some folks out there who like to take advantage of the Tribe’s generosity. As I’ve gone through and clicked links to see what I could pass along, I spotted at least one double post under different names with different stories. It’s not for me to call them out; I believe in karma. Just be careful, and if something seems “off” maybe find another list or donate to Project Night Night or Heifer.

This is a very special family with five kids in my neighborhood. I had hoped I could get them the items on their wishlist, but due to unexpected heart surgery of my own, I’ve not been able to do anything. Please reach out to me with any questions.
Here is the wishlist.
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/2ZR4CfK
Sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to hyperlink!
Here is a bit about each child.
Betsy, 15, has Down Syndrome & loves to play in the puddles. It has been at least 3 years since she rec’d new coats or shoes. I see her out there playing in the rain all the time & her boots have holes in the soles. Her coat is 4 sizes too small
Justin, age 16 is a special needs kid who likes to run and draw. He hasn’t had any new shoes or markers in years.
Jamie age 13, has was born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. He is always happy, but will never be a self-sufficient adult. He loves to draw.
Amanda age 12, has several siblings that are differently-abled. She is responsible for all housework & she thought these items would help w/cleaning by keeping toilet paper off the floor since they can’t have a real cat.
Eric, age 8, loves to play with legos and read books. He has autism and does not yet speak. I don’t know if he ever will, but legos and books take him into a new world that make his little face light up.
Thank you for anything you are able to do for me. I really appreciate all you do!
And just so you know, I do have them shipped to my house, because since their parents are alcoholics, they will sell anything they can to get more money for liquor. If this is a problem, please let me know.
Respectfully,
Gina

My family has been blessed by the James Garfield miracle in the past and I am hopefully for the last time asking for help again this year. I have been unemployed for a while now and going back to school full time. I am hoping to go back to work next year as a substitute teacher. I have 3 biological children (one is over the age limit) and my niece who lives with me. Katie is a spunky 10 and loves cats and Roblox, Rowan is 16 and is into Magic the Gathering, and Becca is 17 and loves animals!

Hi,We live in Watertown,NY and are having a difficult time this year. Copays and meds for my mental health stuff. Dental work for my son and I. I’m just getting over reflux inhalation pnuemonia. Our kids are girl E nine boy E 7 and boy L 3. I’ve been struggling with anxiety and adhd and hope that soon I can pay it forward when I’m working because I finally feel like I’m getting on top of things. So far the kids, cars and myself seem to be taking turns with issues preventing getting work this fall/winter so I’m not working and my husband switched jobs and we’re playing catch up. I could use a little help. Who gets pnuemonia choking on reflux the same day her son has dental work under anesthesia? This Mom. For reals. Maybe I need to write a book.
Let’s shop together—help me build my list on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/gzvKlvH

Oh my – i cant think of a powerful enoigh phrase. I barely got off work and our wishes are already covered! Thank you all so much!
Before I left work i had each kiddo or their parent tell me 1 thing that they would want for Christmas- I put everything on a list (with the okay/ shrug from my boss) everything will be shipped to my home but delivered here since i cant publish our address to keep clients safe. We have 6 families and 14 kiddos. I added everything but for one older kiddo who claimed to not want anything. (Ill see what mom says tomorrow) I know this is a long list and understand if it isn’t allowed ❤ thank you so much for making my kids Christmas amazing! 🎅🎄🎅 yall would make Santa proud!

I was hoping to help this year but I have to ask for it instead. I have just changed jobs, and while I know we’re going to be OK in the future, things are very tight right now. We’re in the UK. I have one 12 year old son, D. Affectionately nicknamed Bean.
He loves being a child and hasn’t asked for much. The nerf toy would let him run around with his friends and family and just have fun. I have added a jacket because he’s had an amazing year of growth. If I do receive help, all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Anything to make this Christmas a bit less stressful is so greatly appreciated. I am so thankful to be a part of this community!

I lost both my job and my home to the storm. We evacuated with our clothes, computers and cats but lost everything else. There are few jobs back in Parker now and 60% of the housing where we were is now unlivable. We were luckier than some because my uncle in Pennsylvania had a place we could stay. I feel like a coward for leaving, but it was better to move for my daughter’s sake.
Moving so far has been tough. We are now in NE Pennsylvania about an hour south of Scranton, starting over. This miracle – and it is – will give my girls a Christmas and replace some of what they lost.
Thank you and happy holidays to all!

I’m asking for help with my 4 year old boy. He’s so sweet and so excited (like all 4 year olds) for Santa to come.
I’m a single mom working part time and almost my entire income goes to bills, I just can’t give him everything he deserves and it’s heartbreaking. I did put a new coat and hat on here for him, his coat is ripp d and he desperately needs a new one.
Anyone who can help make Christmas special for my little boy, I hope you know you are loved and appreciated and won’t be forgotten. Thank you!

Hi everyone
My name is Jamesha. I am a mother of three girls Marissa, Kylie and Trisha. Marissa is 9, Kylie is 5 and Trisha is 7. Kylie has been undergoing cancer treatments since July after we found an unexplainable growth on her scalp. I can’t sugar coat how horrible of a year it has been for our family. To see my daughter constantly in pain hurts me deeply as a parent. I’ve been on my own and caring for my little girls since they were born and I honestly feel helpless at this point. I don’t have money to give them the Christmas I’m sure that they would like. But we do have each other and I know that means a lot too. Two of my daughters really need coats and are walking around in thick sweatshirts. I know that is sad of me to admit as a parent but Kylie’s medical bills have been piling up. They really need coats.
I want to say thank you in advance for whomever finds it in their heart to help our family.

I’m still working, but I’m down to less than 20 hours because I work in a restaurant and it’s a lot of lifting heavy catering orders and being on my feet, and I’m just not physically able to do as much right now, so things are very tight. I have faith that next year, I will be able to help some people here, because I’ll finally have a college degree, yay! Time to get out of minimum wage work. But for this Christmas, on my list there are two items for my fourteen-year-old and two items I can still really use for the baby, if anyone is able to help, it would mean the world.

Hi my name is Jose and I have 4 kids. 3 girls 10,5,4 and a boy that is 7 with Autism.
Our lives have been drastically changed this year. My wife passed away and I am trying to do everything on my own from juggling work, therapy and the kids extra curricular school activities. She was the one who took them to school, doctors, etc and also held a job. I’m not one that asks for help and always try to do things on my own but I’ve quickly realized that it’s impossible. I’m reaching out to anyone today that can help me give my kids a happy Christmas as they have been through a lot and my oldest daughter that is 10 has turned into her mom trying to do everything she did. I wish I could give them the world on my own.Thank you and God Bless in advance . Merry Christmas to all!

Danielleadams114 – I can empathize with wanting to get your child everything possible, but when the toys have been purchased, you’re not supposed to add new ones. That’s to keep it fair for everyone. The coat should stay, but it’s not fair to keep adding more toys.
Hi everyone. I have twin girls & 1 boy. Money is super tight this year due to therapy for all 3 kids. I’m a single mom so I sometimes I have take off work for these appointments. My boy, who is 12, has ADHD and the twins currently have expressive/receptive language delay, but were recently evaluated for Autism. My husband also passed away in February, so I’ve just been a wreck.
Thanks in advance to anyone who purchase items on my list. It is really appreciated. Hopefully I can be on the giving end next year. Even if it’s only buying 1 item. Happy Holidays!

Please consider our family this year. 3 children ages 3, 4, and 6. 3 year old girl asked for animals and Mulan. 4 year old girl asked for Barbies. 6 year old girl asked for everything Sloths. A little JG Christmas miracle would make these girls smile on Christmas Day. Money is very tight and we work hard to provide necessities but can’t seem to catch up.

It looks like we had someone help out a bit I want to post a thank you to who ever that was it will make the kids Holiday.
Also if there is anyone with a teenaged girl who has gone through a rough time with self worth/self-esteem and has really been struggling with it and negative thoughts I could use some advice or info on maybe a support program?
I posted my list from my phone at 365, I thought maybe I should share a bit more. I am taking care of my daughter and her cousin this year, because my sister is having some trouble. I cannot really afford Christmas gifts tho, because I lost my at home data entry job. I should have a new one after the New Year, but that isn’t guaranteed. Seems like this happens every year, and I really don’t want to disappoint them. So any help would be amazing.

I am requesting help for my daughter is 14, she has had the roughest year of her life which in turn means I have been in hell trying to help her cope. She was sexually assaulted while at school then bullied so bad by the same kid she tried to kill herself. She is currently homebound for school while going to trauma counseling and therapy. None of which is covered by our insurance so all extra money has gone to cover bills. She’s afraid to leave the house most of the time. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!

While we have been so much more stable this year we still havent been able to get a whole lot extra outside of necessities.

My husband lost his job suddenly last year while he was also attending college to finish up his bachelor’s degree, BUT! thankfully he found a great job – but now we’re so screwed up financially for at least the next eight months, which means pretty much no Christmas for either of our children. I had a yard sale in early October and have my oldest son’s shopping completed (and was so releived to be able to do that, because last year (as usual) he “took the hit” when it came to gifts.
But then there’s Jami. Jami’s our son who has difficulties with his really bad panic attacks. We are a proud parent of an LGBT son, but that surely doesn’t make school or the world easier for him 🙁
It’s not always been easy for him at all, really, and it’s not now, being the only gay person at his school that he is aware of, and is working with the school to start homeschooling to avoid the bullying aspect of school, which is bringing his spirits down so low. I’m trying to figure out a way to keep him IN the school with the few people he DOES know, but every day there’s something new and ugly he has to face, it seems. (I hate saying this, but we’re worn out too as parents, which isn’t nice to say, I know.)
I want so much for him to have a nice Christmas Morning. He could use just a nice day, you know? He is just really a great kid and I wish everyone could see that.
I have severe panic disorder with agoraphobia, and I swear to God I try every day to get better, but it’s been 20 years so I think I’m sort of where I’m going to be.
Thanks for any help at all.
Love Melanie

Hi! My name is Lindsey, I am a mom to 4 kids! 3 boys ages (almost) 7, 5, and 9 months, as well as one girl, she’s almost 9 (but the size of an 11 year old!). We moved back to our very small hometown recently after several setbacks all at once and are a little slow getting back on our feet! Life is definitely improving, but we’re really just kinda scraping by (which we’re grateful to be able to do now, don’t get me wrong!). I did include a coat for my daughter. My boys have coats, but my daughter has outgrown hers and now it is so much harder to find an affordable one in her size! She wears a 12/14. I really appreciate any help at all, my sister told me about you doing this and I’m just so grateful for people like you.. This is so great. My city is Livingston, TX. Thank you Merry Christmas! Hi.

My husband is active duty military and currently out of work for an injury that just required surgery. Money is extremely tight as we do not live near family and had to pay and provide childcare for our two little boys so I could be away and in the hospital with him during his back surgery and stay. We aren’t able to provide a few things on my little boys lists for Santa this year because of our recent move to a new duty station and being apart and displaced due to his injury and surgery. Any little bit would help. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

This year could be the poster for “It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times”.
My husband who’s been laid off 4 times in 3 years finally was recruited for an amazing job with growth potential with good health insurance. Our daughter who has had a number of god-awful surgeries had the very last one and can walk for the most part again. I’ve started writing again, our middle son got a service dog we are training… all was great.
Then October came along. My moms cancer was back, an old heath issue has reared it’s head, our HS son was bullied out of school and then hospitalized for a bleeding GI tract and ulcer in November, my daughters leg is rejecting some hardware, my grandpa died rather suddenly and we needed to pay for the funeral and on the day before it our central heat and air died it’s last death.
I just want my kids to remember this year as a good one, they deserve it. My middle son is still homebound with anxiety about going back and my daughter is waiting for us to pay the copay for an MRI. Hopefully that will happen soon.
Anything you can do for my 3 kids, I will appreciate so much. It’s a small list. The youngest mostly wants the comic books and drums but I did let them tell me what was going on here and they’re kids.

Last year I asked for help buying a dear friend a dutch oven. Some amazing person bought it outright. When she received it she called me to see if I had sent it to her, and I told her the whole story.

She put so much time into laying it out step by step, and so many people just ignore it, and the last thing any of us want is for her to stop doing this because no one will listen to her.

I know you say not to feel bad about asking, but I totally do. If I had anything extra I would be filling my cart with as many other wishlists as I could. We’ve never had excess by any means, but we’ve always been comfortable enough in the past. This past year has been extremely rough for us though. We’ve moved across the country for a job that we thought was a much better deal than it turned out to be, away from all of our family. The cost of living here is so much higher than what we were prepared for and we’re having a really hard time keeping up with everything, and we’ve been relying on food stamps and a food pantry for most of our groceries so that we can afford other basic stuff like rent and utilities. Our twins are really excited about Christmas and Santa and presents, but we honestly have nothing to spare this year. and my anxiety about making the holidays special for them is hitting me hard. Here’s my list for our 2 year old boy/girl twins that I’d love to have be their gifts from Santa, and we are in Los Angeles, CA.

Hi, I’m posting this as someone on here asked me to… I needed to ask permission of the recipient first before sharing.
“M” is a guest at our house. M is pregnant, 17, single, and disowned by their family… for being transgendered. M was transitioning (hormones,therapy,etc) when they got pregnant. It’s a lot for a young adult to take in. They are my daughter’s best friend, and I will always support them. <3
I worry about their self-care. So I asked M what they’d want for Christmas for themselves (not baby-who will have plenty) Apparently the fact that in our house we toast our bread in the oven is ‘weird’, so a toaster is on the list! Lol! They layer on hoodies instead of a coat, but it’s time to size up soon with baby getting bigger, so I’ve added one on the list. I’m trying to find a reasonable pair of gloves to add as well.
It’s tough to write anything else without getting preachy. I wish nothing but love, peace and understanding for everyone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*Also big, glorious hugs to #418 for helping my family have a brighter Christmas! Thank you:)

Hi my husband lost his job about 2 months ago and hasn’t been able to find anything new yet and I cant work due to multiple chronic illnesses. I’m really hoping santa comes thru for him soon as well…my kids are awesome and deserve so much more than I can give them. Love to everyone here whether you’re giving or receiving. I always have such a hard time with the holidays emotionally and this is one of the few things that makes it worth it every year. It reminds me how much people care even when its hard to see sometimes.

I know reading rules sucks, but Jenny specified that you make ONE single list for ALL your kids. $35 PER CHILD MAX, under age 18 (plus a coat). I see lists with 20-30 items for one kid, and lists where more items have been added after the first round was purchased. Not cool, y’all. Let’s let ALL the kids have a chance at a gift, okay? This isn’t a contest to see how much free stuff you can get. Jenny said you can add more on Friday if there is something you still need.
Hi, I’m a single mom of 4 wonderful children. They deserve the world from me and yet I couldn’t even give my son a dollar from “the tooth fairy” when he lost his tooth yesterday.
I did some quick talking and convinced him to wait until today when I’d be able to get a dollar from my assistance payment and a pillow to put it under. I want to keep his sense of childlike wonder as long as possible.
With a lot of practice, I kept my tears from falling and redirected his attention to something more interesting so I wouldn’t cry in front of him.
My older kids understand that things are hard and they know that I’m not working because I’m sick. They know about the tumors, and why I’m always laying down. But I know deep down that they would appreciate it if someone sent a few presents their way. I’ve included their toy, clothing and book wishlists. Anything helps. Right now it’s just so hard to keep going. I’m always in pain and depressed and anxious. Seeing them happy makes me happy and lifts my spirits!

Jose 455- you may be having trouble getting your list fulfilled because it’s way over the limit. It’s supposed to be $35 max for each kid, and add a comment in each item which kid it’s for. I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope once you get the list fixed you’ll be able to get some presents for the kiddos! Good luck, Merry Christmas, love.
This list is for two children. Boy is 2, girl is 5. Thank you so much everyone. ♥️

Post 135 reposted now that I’ve added an address … My sister has 3 kids &; has taken in 4 others to keep them out of the foster care system. She gets no assistance because they aren’t foster kids & she & her husband are working really hard to make sure they have everything they need. Three of them have physical medical needs & the non stop medical appointments have really taken a toll on them. They would appreciate anything. The four new guys came from a home of abuse & neglect & have never had a real Christmas before. Anything anyone gets would be such a blessing http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2JXMIIC4NSPIC
Originally Post #334 but I went back and reread the rules and realized I forgot to add our city and ages of the kids. I’m so sorry for not getting it right the first time.
I took in my sister and her three kiddos last month, ages 9, 5 & 3. We live in Las Vegas. They lost everything in a fire and have nothing. It’s been rough on them, compounded by the fact her middle daughter has sensory issues and this whole ordeal has been very traumatic for her. We are in desperate need for a new weighted blanket so her daughter can sleep at night, which hasn’t happened hardly at all since they have been here because it is a new, strange house. They are super expensive but I found the absolute cheapest one I could, hoping maybe for a miracle. The girls are sweet and scared and wondering if Santa will find them at our house and if he knows that they don’t have a house anymore. They love animals and games and to paint and color. Thank you for anyone who can help.

Hello,
I have 5 littles and 3 are adopted. I’ve added coats, hats and gloves for each. A few small toys. My daughter prefers to read so I added a book set for her as she is 16 and doesn’t play with toys. I hope that was ok.
Thank you for any help. http://a.co/dUmS2vV

I hope I did this right. Hello, Kristina from Arkansas here. This year has been TOUGH, as I am sure many others can relate. Nonetheless, I am a mother of two beautiful daughters J and M. I have been working hard and will be finished with school here soon and I just PRAY things start to look up. I mean, they have to right? This year things have become really difficult and it would be such a blessing to receive a little help for this Christmas. Anything helps truly, I look forward to returning here next year and being able to pay it forward.
Thank you!
Last year I asked this beautiful community for help after having a horrible year. Thanks to Jenny and the caring people in this community my step kids (and my SO and I) had an amazing Christmas.
Thank you Jenny and all the wonderful people that you have brought together. I’m in a much better place this year and hope to give back the good fortune you all shared with me.
These past 2 years have been a bit rough. I used to be the person giving to others, my goal is to be able to give to others again next year. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart for this help.

I apologize if I somehow messed this up.
I was comment #132. I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to the fabulous, amazing people on this site. My daughter is going to be so psyched about her books and gloves. You guys are the absolute best!!!!
Sorry I thought it was at the limit. I picked a Monkey for each girl at 28 dollars and 2 15 dollar gift cards for my son because he only plays Roblox and the a T-shirt or pants for each. I thought I was under the limit for each kid. There is 4 all together. A monkey for each girl and a shirt or pants for each girl. A shirt for my son a 2 15 dollar cards . I’ll go back and look but I am sure it’s under the limit per kids. Instead of a coat I added a shirt because my oldest kid passed down her coats to the little ones.
Thank you for pointing it out I’ll check
My kids know things are bad this year. They’ve watched me and their mother struggle all year long. They are 16 and 17 (boys) so no matter how careful we are they know. I got hurt at work and it’s been a constant fight and cout dates. They watch their mom go off to work day after day more tired than she was the day before. And both refuse to tell us anything they want and say not to worry about it. That they know we have bills to pay and there is no reason to spend anything. After I got over feeling like a failure, I decided I would find a way to get them something. It’s all we can do to keep food on the table and roof over our heads. But I want one good memory for this crap year. One that isn’t my wife crawling into bed as soon as she eats dinner so she can get up in 5 hours and start all over again. I did a single wishlist with each item labeled older and younger. Thanks for any help.

I was lucky enough to benefit from this wonderful community last year. The James Garfield miracle saved our Christmas and made it so special for my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped us!
This year we are in a better place and are excited to help others. I’ve already sent a few gifts from here but I would like to extend the generosity to my neighbor and dear friend. He’s a single dad of two boys, ages 12 & 9. Dad just recently lost his job and is wondering how he is going to make it through this holiday season. The boys say they don’t mind skipping Christmas this year, they understand there’s no money, but I would love to help make them feel special! I started a small list for them last month in hopes James Garfield would spread holiday cheer again. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I am the proud mom of two wonderful girls. We don’t have much but we have each other! This year I wasn’t able to do anything for Christmas so I thought maybe someone here might be able to help? My girls are 6 years apart in age and don’t often find things to do together. One thing they enjoy a lot is coloring together. I am hoping someone might be willing to help me give my girls a couple of coloring books and maybe some markers or pencils? Thank you!

We are a family of 4. We have 2 children who have been on their best behavior because they really want Santa to visit them and leave them a few gifts. We have fallen on hard times this year and really need Christmas help. I added them a gift each and a jacket because they really need one. We can barely afford our bills, much less Christmas. I will add more things they need once I get the okay to. Thank you so much for doing this!
This year has been hard for my little family and this is an amazing thing! I have 3 girls, ages 12, 7, and newborn. The newborn came early and messed up my plans to work as long as I could so bills got paid before Christmas presents got bought. I think I made a proper list:

Hi everyone. This has been a year for many of us. I have 3 severely mentally ill children. We alwahttps://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5YOJIY9CXW93?&sort=defaultys have our hands full but this year has been unreal. Our middle girl with schizophrenia became very unstable in March and still is. Our son with autism is adjusting to puberty starting. My friends young adult child had a beautiful daughter who is 11 months old and they will be with us a couple months while in between places. And best yet ,total sarcasm, in April my husband was in a car accident thank goodness he is ok but we never were able to get a new vehicle and by the time he was able to go back to work and had transportation his job of 15 years fired him. He is still trying to find a job with no luck! I would not care about anything under the tree except the two youngest because of their disabilities still have a lower mentality then chronological age think Santa is coming and bringing everyone gifts as long as you are good. If anyone can help us give them a Christmas we would be forever grateful! I’m reposting I was overlimit I apologize I have some trouble with reading. We r from Baltimore Maryland. Here r revised lists. Thank you

We’re a low income family of 4. My boyfriend, 2 kids and my myself. I would love to be able to give my kids something this Christmas from Santa. They have been very good lately, especially recently because it’s so close to Christmas and they know Santa would be here soon. Anyways, I would love to have a few gifts from Santa under the the tree for them. I really love to see them smile. They are great kids, they deserve a happy Christmas. I also added coats because they really need them. They need winter clothes in general, but I will not add them unless I get the okay to do so. Thank you for the oppurtunity to let me post this!
We are a family of just us three. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 10. They love to read and color. My hours at work have been cut practically in half and I am barely keeping the rent paid. There is no money for gifts or winter coats this year. I would appreciate all help for my girls!

My name is Jen and I’m a single mama to five kiddos: four boys and one girl, age 6, 8, 13, 18, and 22. I completely understand and respect the age guidelines and am very appreciative of any help you can lend. I don’t receive child support and this year finished my BS in environmental science. I keep thinking things will get easier, and sometimes it seems so, but then find myself here asking for help. I know I haven’t come this far to continue to struggle, and though we pay it forward in small ways when we can I believe that one day my family will be able to come back here and buy out at least one entire wishlist.
My little guys are into Minions and anime, and my new teenager is a reader that I’m anxious to introduce to some favorite books of mine. I did add some things to make hair and body spray for my daughter, though like I said she is 18. I can save them there for later 🙂 My boys won’t use the body wash I make at home hence the Everybody item on my list. Oh and we are in Iowa.
Thanks again for any and all help, and the very happiest of holidays to you!

Marie 523- I’ve seen you post a few times, I completely feel for your situation, it sucks to not have tooth fairy money. But if you want to get presents for these kiddos, you might want to read through the guidelines again. It’s supposed to be one list for all the kids, and a $35 max per kid. You have 3 lists totaling over $1000. I’d hate to see people bypass your lists because of that, because it sounds like you could really use the help. Good luck hon, Merry Christmas, I hope things get better.

Forgot to include state – Phx,AZ. Sidenote: Does anyone know any good programs to look into for a teenage girl struggling with her weight and feeling like she is hideous when she isn’t? I have never been in a situation like this before so any recommendations would be great.
Hi everyone a friend of mine sent me here and I am hoping I can find a bit of holiday help for my kids. Two are teens and they are harder to shop for so I put 3-4 assorted items for each kid they only need one or two but it was just to give options to who ever wants to help. This year has been extra rough on us we went through a big family loss, loss of income and one of our teens had a bit of a breakdown due to feeling bullied over weight. The holiday is looking bleak and we can’t afford to do anything this year any help would be appreciated. It was hard finding things in the limit which is why I gave one or two options they only need a gift or two, with what each likes and wants it was hard to pick things to add.
A bit about the kids. JT is seventeen, he helps look out for his siblings and helps with anything around the house without complaining and often does things without even being ask. He recently started a small part time job after school to help his mom out with bills and is wanting to start a career in the medical field in the future. He is in need of long sleeve shirts so I put a two pack on his list, the two comic books and game are options for him as well. LS is sixteen she is a big reader, likes to create things from scratch like cookies and cakes, she wants to be a baker and a photographer when she is older. She is slightly overweight and has been dealing with a lot this year, she had a bit of a breakdown earlier this year that was really hard on her and on us as a family. She needs and wants a new pair of shoes but the pair she really wants are too expensive for us, if she only received the shoes it would be alright. The writing set, light and face oil are also wishes of hers. C is 8 and he loves building, playing outside, catching bugs, reading and playing video games with his siblings. M is ten she loves reading, crafts, drawing and animals she wants to be a vet when she is older. Their wishlist is all of the kids will enjoy anything sent they all know times get tough and are alright with skipping Christmas this year if we end up not getting help, they all had been begging to go see the snow but we can’t afford a hotel either so I am just posting to see if each can get one or two gifts to make their holidays brighter thank you.

Can I make a wishlist for my office? I work with high school kids, and they tend to open up more when they’re coloring. They’ve used up most of my coloring books (including yours) and my gel pens. If not, no worries- I’m not trying to scam you!
Addalynn special needs age 5 Knoxville TN would enjoy these wishes

I have 3 kids, age 3, 12, and 13. My 13 year old has severe developmental delays. We missed the cutoff for angel tree or salvation army. We live in Kannapolis NC and even those programs are harder for us because people don’t understand why a 13 year old would love Barney or his favorite My Pal Scout. This year we are just down on our luck. We are usually in the spot to give, even my 12 year old asked the other day when we were going to Barnes and Nobles because we usually pick books there for their book drive. I’m truly humbled by those who help. Thank you for helping.

I was a contributer to James Garfield Miracle last year and it feels a little weird to ask for help this year but things change a lot in a year, don’t they?
A huge thank you to anyone who can help any of my kids. I tried to tell a little about each of them in the comments of the wishlist but it’s hard to describe how amazing they are in such few characters.

I had SO hoped I’d be able to give back this year. But my car broke down last week and it took all my savings to get it fixed. My son is 14, and is such a good sweet kid who does everything he can to help me out. Of course his hopes are for expensive gaming stuff, but he knows it’s just not in my budget. I’m hoping for a few small things that will make him smile. He loves playing the guitar, cooking, and taking care of our dog. For those of you giving, I hope you know what a blessing you are. We’re in Mobile, AL.

I was told about this group from a waitress at work. I have been working full time but my truck needed to be fixed so I could get to work. That took up just about all my Christmas money. I got 3 kids. My son is 14 and autistic. His controller to his gamecube busted.. My two girls are 13 and 8.My oldest understands money is tight but the littler one asked santa for a doll I can’t afford. Any help would be a huge blessing! Thank you

Hi. My kids are 16 and 17 years old. Long past believing in Santa. Unfortunately, they still believe in me. I’ve had a rough few months
Stress, upon stress upon stress. Sunday was my birthday and not a single member of my family, that doesn’t live with me, wished me a happy birthday. And really there is no excuse since Facebook announces it. But I’m the odd man out in my family and I really shouldn’t let it bother me. I went byy mom’s today and she gave me a gift for each of the kids but didn’t issue an invitation for us to go there for Christmas. I just kinda really need for my kids to get a win right now. I’m not going to and I can live with that. But, for all my faults and there must be many since I seem to not be able to feel like I can get a win for anything, they stand by me. When I’m tired and trying to pretend it’s all good, they see and will go above and beyond to help me stay sane. From doing dishes, to walking dogs, to just bringing me a cold pop after I get off work. They try to make my life easier as hard as I try to make theirs easier. I did a single list for both of them. I’m pretty sure I stayed under the limit but I am trying to do this on breaks at work. This is my second and last 15 minute break. I made up the list over 3 bathroom breaks. We are in Ohio. So US shipping.

Bio mom of 2 (ages 1 month old and 2 years old) and step mom to 3 (ages 13, 18, and 19 but he is in college and we are just wanting a little something under the tree for him when he comes home for christmas it wont seem fair for his siblings to have gifts and not himself) after going into premature labor in October and our now 1 month old having to stay in the nicu for a bit longer after I was released from the hospital and our car crapping out on us in the same month, we have had financial crisis after financial crisis since, we havent even bothered decorating or putting up a tree yet cause we don’t even see a reason this year (our hopes havent been very high at all)
I do hope someone can find it in their heart to help us make a Christmas possible for the kids.
Thank you in advance

I’m a single mom and raising my sister and my niece as well after my mom passed away last summer. My sister is mentally ill and has a lot of appointments and classes to track – which is why I thought a planner would be good for her. Thanks for all your help. The kids are all good kids and have been so understanding in this year of transition within our family.
Thank you!

Hi everyone.
I just want to say… this has been my worst year ever. My health went down hill after moving into the apartment we are in. I’m now on oxygen 24/7 and I can’t hardly walk very far. I’ve applied for my disability and waiting to hear from that. But.. waiting doesn’t get the kiddos Christmas gifts. I just put the tree up two days ago and I didn’t want to do it then but it’s for these babies I treasure so much and the joy in their precious lil eyes when they see it. I’m not asking for a bunch and one child is only asking for one item. I pray so hard and hope that they will have a good Christmas this year.
Anything that anyone can afford will be appreciated so much.
Thank you and God Bless all you secret Santa’s ( or Angels 👼).
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/27YG6K49NJJHX
This is not a wishlist for us, but for the children of two families we are trying to help.
The mother of two of the children is currently in the hospital. We would like to have something she can surprise them with when they visit her on Christmas.
The other children are those of a couple who are struggling financially, and could use a hand up during the holiday season.
We plan on providing some necessities (coats, pajamas, etc.) and a stocking for each child, but would really love for each child to have something special to open, as well.
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/125NW4D9V6EVU
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/cgTY80E
For my daughter, she’s 11 and loves gardening! (Though we live in an apartment and I’m a plant murderer so we go with easy grow and Chia pets, haha)
This group is such a blessing, and not just during the holidays, the love and support shown throughout the year is awesome!

This has been a rough year for our family, but somehow I managed to sock away gifts for the girls a few at a time. I don’t need any things. Could I ask for some good energy and prayers to be sent our way? I’m having a health crisis the doctors can’t figure out. My husband really needs a job since his company went out of business. My Mom is having health issues and we just lost my Dad two years ago. Financially somehow are going to make Christmas happen, but I sure could use the prayers and energy. Maybe James Garfield will bring my husband a job in 2019. Thanks. ❤️
Also I don’t have any tech savvy so comment 515 is un purchased the deleted items are because I made a mistake and was over limit so I deleted a lot of items. Thank you for your patience with me. It’s probably not helping that I’m doing this while my depression and anxiety are at a high. Love to all

#548 Anonymous – thank you so much. I’m so excited to see them react to the magic of finding gifts under the tree and I was worried that we would have to re-wrap some existing books (and I guess they wouldn’t know, but I would..). This means so much. Thank you thank you.

Hello,
I have 5 littles and 3 are adopted. 17,16,11,6 and 3. I’ve added coats, hats and gloves for each. A few small toys. My daughter prefers to read so I added a book set for her as she is 16 and doesn’t play with toys. I hope that was ok. My oldest is 17 and doesn’t play with toys so I added a pair of headphones for him.
Thank you for any help. http://a.co/dUmS2vV
Thank you in advance for any help for my family! We have 4 children all together. I was laid off 2 months ago and things have been extremely rough. My husband is able to work a bit of overtime so that helps a bit but we do have 6 mouths to feed and bills and all that fun grown up stuff.
Our kids have been amazing through all of this and not complained at all when we’ve had to cut back on things. We would love to be able to surprise them with a few things each on Christmas morning. I’m pretty sure they think they won’t be getting anything so I’d love to prove them wrong. Thank you so much!

You guys have been wonderful. My sister asked me to post her list for her 2 kids (14)& (8) they’ve had a rough year with medical issues and changing jobs.
Mia Moore (575)- a few items are on their way! Most will be there this week but there’s a little animal thing that won’t get there till the 19th.
I hope you don’t mind, but you had the ebook version of Leah on the Offbeat on your list but I sent the physical copy. I just love that book 🙂
I understand some of these are over the limit some are not. These are the only things my kids are asking for. This is their Christmas. I’ve fixed my address. Thank you so much.

This year I have 2 sweet foster kiddos: Little T, who is 22 months old, and Miss P, who is 3.5 years old. Their Kokum (Cree for ‘grandmother’) would love to get them gifts for Christmas, but just can’t afford to. I’d love it if this list could be taken care of so they can get some gifts from Kokum this year! I also added on an item for Kokum, because she’s doing her best in a really difficult situation, so I’d love for the girls to be able to ‘buy’ a gift for her too! (I understand if that’s not allowed) I also added on 2 memory books that are specific for kiddos in foster care so that I can put pictures and milestones in them for each of the girls, and they can take the books with them when they leave my care. Thank you, beautiful humans!

Hi everyone. I have twin girls & 1 boy. Money is super tight this year due to therapy for all 3 kids. I’m a single mom so I sometimes I have take off work for these appointments. My boy, who is 12, has ADHD and the twins currently have expressive/receptive language delay, but were recently evaluated for Autism. My husband also passed away in February, so I’ve just been a wreck.
Thanks in advance to anyone who purchase items on my list. It is really appreciated. Hopefully I can be on the giving end next year. Even if it’s only buying 1 item. Happy Holidays!

We have 3 kids and with the 23 hours of weekly therapy to help our baby reach his full potential money is scarce. But love is abundant. Any help would be amazing!
JGXM is one of my favorite days of the year!! I’ve always enjoyed watching all the miracles happen. I’ve never needed to ask for a miracle but I’ve also never been in a place where I could help fulfill the lists. But this year, I finally can help! I’m so excited and thrilled at the fact that I’m having trouble finding lists that aren’t already fulfilled. I’ll find the perfect item to buy and will be psyched that I’ve just participated in JGXM day for the first time!

My little ones wrote their Christmas lists today. They have mostly little items and then their bigger Santa items. We have fallen on hard times this year and I’m just exhausted. My husband is active duty in the military and sustained an injury that just required major surgery on Friday and has him coming home to recover. We just transferred duty stations before his surgery and so we are in a new place without many resources. I am a stay at home mom that homeschools my six year old and things are hard between the hardships of moving, my husband being out of work, and getting settled into a new place without family around. My little guys do not have much they are asking for. My oldest would like a pair of “crocs” to take our little dog out in and I also added a pair for my youngest as he always wants the same and is learning what shoe goes on what foot. Besides that they truly have not asked for much but we could really use the help. I feel overwhelmed in all that is on my plate and I know this year even the smallest things will be a struggle as my husband begins his recovery. .
We are in Georgia

Thank you so much Michelle and Carrie and whomever else helped with the items on my list! My heart is just bursting and I’m seriously crying happy tears at how awesome you all are! Thank you for making our holidays so happy and being so generous! (I was Amber post 453 from LA).
I forgot to add she’s in mn ( list 617)
I went over our list and eliminated the clothing and books.
Hi, I’m a single mom of 4 wonderful children. They deserve the world from me and yet I couldn’t even give my son a dollar from “the tooth fairy” when he lost his tooth yesterday.
I did some quick talking and convinced him to wait until today when I’d be able to get a dollar from my assistance payment and a pillow to put it under. I want to keep his sense of childlike wonder as long as possible.
With a lot of practice, I kept my tears from falling and redirected his attention to something more interesting so I wouldn’t cry in front of him.
My older kids understand that things are hard and they know that I’m not working because I’m sick. They know about the tumors, and why I’m always laying down. But I know deep down that they would appreciate it if someone sent a few presents their way. I’ve included their toy, clothing and book wishlists. Anything helps. Right now it’s just so hard to keep going. I’m always in pain and depressed and anxious. Seeing them happy makes me happy and lifts my spirits!

Hi everyone. This has been a year for many of us. I have 3 severely mentally ill children. We alwahttps://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5YOJIY9CXW93?&sort=defaultys have our hands full but this year has been unreal. Our middle girl with schizophrenia became very unstable in March and still is. Our son with autism is adjusting to puberty starting. My friends young adult child had a beautiful daughter who is 11 months old and they will be with us a couple months while in between places. And best yet ,total sarcasm, in April my husband was in a car accident thank goodness he is ok but we never were able to get a new vehicle and by the time he was able to go back to work and had transportation his job of 15 years fired him. He is still trying to find a job with no luck! I would not care about anything under the tree except the two youngest because of their disabilities still have a lower mentality then chronological age think Santa is coming and bringing everyone gifts as long as you are good. If anyone can help us give them a Christmas we would be forever grateful! I’m reposting I was overlimit I apologize I have some trouble with reading. We r from Baltimore Maryland. Here r revised lists. Thank you

Jenny I’m truly sorry for the mistake. Honestly I’m just looking for one gift per kid. That way they have something to open thank you
Could someone please check and make sure I got the limits and rules right. Because I’m having a full blown panic attack now thinking I just screwed up Christmas for the kids. I’m really really sorry.
Anissa at 637 – it doesn’t look like it got the wishlist link correct. Try again?

Thank you to the poster who let me know i hasn’t assigned the address properly. Post #285 us corrected now, thank you for helping! I also have to say I was a recipient four years ago and what blossomed from that initial generosity is a fantastic friendship amongst a group of wonderful ladies who I never would have met otherwise!

Julie (#285)…glad you finally updated that address! I’ve been stalking my amazon cart all evening—hopefully someone else can close out your list with the kids’ books 🙂
I noticed two items had syrocketed in price and I absolutely did not want anyone to think I was being greedy since it took the list over the limit. I removed both the kindle case and the baseball hat and replaced them with a set of crystals to hang in my daughter’s window and a gold bow tie for my son.

Thanks from Easton, PA and our miracle two pound 25 week micropremie with Cerebral Palsy, visual impairment, chronic lung disease, oxygen dependent, and many other health concerns. We have 3 kids and with the 23 hours of weekly therapy to help our baby reach his full potential money is scarce. But love is abundant. Any help would be amazing!
I am the manager of an apartment complex and I original posted, it was comment 207 and I forgot to include some information so I am reposting after my post was deleted for lack of info.
I have a family of 5 ( a mom and 4 kids) who could desperately use the help this holiday season. All of the kids love legos. The oldest who is 13 and she loves the band Panic at the disco. The oldest daughter has been going through chemo treatments for awhile now and because of this the mom has been unable to work full time. Any extra money goes for medical bills. This family has missed out on birthdays this year due to lack of money I would hate for them to miss out on Christmas to. Ages of kids are 14, 13, 11, 11. All girls. I am hoping with your help we can pull off a true secret santa miracle for this family!! We are in St. Louis, MO

Our house recently caught on fire and we have been staying with family till we can find another place close by to rent. So things have been very bad for us the last couple weeks. Luckily we have family that is helping us out a little. I haven’t been able to spend much on Christmas due to the circumstances, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
I have 7 children. My 16 and 14 year old daughters love to draw and paint. My two 9 year olds are twin boys. They spend most of their time playing with legos. My 7 year old daughter also loves legos, she likes to compete with her brothers! My 6 year old girl loves play doh. My 4 year old boy loves anything paw patrol!

Hi there. I’m a single Dad of 2 boys, 11 and 13. I could really use some help. I am disabled and we struggle every month. I have reached out and have gotten used clothing and such but wish I could get them something to make their eyes light up Christmas morning. They are my little geniuses and have built desktops over the last few years from the ground up. It would mean the world to me if they could get the desktop sets on my wishlist. I had to put 2 different ones because it wouldn’t let me put the same item twice. I also add a couple pairs of boots which living in the finger lake region in NY is useful and dress shirts which it’s been forever since I could buy for my boys. I appreciate any help possible and even those who take the time to read this. Hope everyone the most wonderful Christmas and holiday season and thank you.

I’m crying. Everything on each of the 4 lists has been gotten. My nieces and kids are going to freak. Thank you Jenny and all your elves.
Okay, I clearly misunderstood the rules this year, Jenny. I thought it was mo items over $35, not a TOTAL of $35. I’m still unsure about adding lists for parents or not. Could you let me know, please? I’ve fixed my daughter’s list. I think.
We have one daughter, age 13, and we live in San Tan Valley, AZ.
Here’s our story:
It’s been a really hard couple of years. ALL THREE OF US have had surgery this year! Chronic illnesses for my daughter and I, knee surgery for my husband from a work injury he got LAST year — we had to fight Worker’s Comp in court to get it, though. Bills just keep piling up because my husband only got about half his normal income for over 11 months! Ugh.
My husband is wearing his old Air Force combat boots for work. The soles are broken, and he’s wrapping his feet in plastic bags to keep them dry. 🙁 He doesn’t complain much, but I know he feels horrible that this is our life right now.
Ro is 13-years-old, and has Neuropathic POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, small fiber neuropathy, and probably Mast Cell Activation Disorder/Syndrome. She got a port surgically implanted in her chest in May because her veins won’t allow peripheral IVs for her infusions. It’s been so hard to watch her in so much pain and not being able to do the things she used to do, much less go to school! Ugh.
Thank you to all who choose our family to help this year. Hopefully next year I will be the one giving others a good Christmas!

Hi, my name is Rachel and my daughter just went into surgery yesterday because of her heart problems. She’s 13 and still in school, but this has been happening for a couple years now and although she’s been really strong through it all, my heart just breaks for her. It would mean so much if anyone would be so kind to give her something as a pick-me-up. We live in NY. Thank you so much.

Hi, I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls. The eldest is Maggie (4yo) and the youngest is Ruth but we call her Roo and she’s 19mo. We live in Valparaiso, IN. My husband is working part time while going back to school so that he can get a better job. I do odd jobs where I can to try to cover expenses and make ends meet. I’d really appreciate assistance with Christmas this year; I had toys on layaway but don’t think I’m going to pay them off in time. I’m truly looking forward to being able to buy for someone else in the future. Thank you so much for any assistance!

Most of the items on my list can be combined for all the little girls, and there are a few single items for the bigs 🙂 They are all wonderful kiddos, but I have only been able to afford a big gift for the littles, and one for the bigs. The littles big gift is a toy kitchen, so there are some items on my list to go with that. Thank you so much!! Happy Holidays!

The past few months have been very hard on our family. I’ve gone back to school so that eventually I can try to get a better job, and in the meantime my husband is the only one working. We know (well, we hope) it will be worth it in the end but in the meantime things are very hard.
If anyone could help us with some things for our daughters, we would be so, so appreciative.
We have two girls, Tess and Riley, ages 13 and 9. They each picked out one toy for their list and aside from that I’ve added some things they really need like socks, undies, and a winter coat for Tess. Riley has Tess’s old coat and it’s still in good shape but Tess needs a new one because she outgrew hers and winters here in northeast Pennsylvania are harsh.
Here are their lists, and thank you so much for all that you do. You are all Christmas angels 🙂

I can’t get anything for anyone this year (I maxed out my drug benefits and am on multiple meds…) but just wanted to say a big thank you to Jenny for the time and effort and love involved in this each year. It lifts my heart to see people doing good.
I already posted my thanks but I just feel like I need to post again thanking everyone. I’ve been sitting here watching peoples lists be taken care of and going back reading all the comments, and I’m just so overwhelmed with gratitude for this community. Thank you, Jenny and everyone, for doing so much to bring happiness to children and their families. I really hope I’ll be on the other side of this next year and I can make someone else feel this loved and relieved.

Thank you to all for making this grandma’s heart rest a little easier ❤️
Jenny. Thanks so much for starting and overseeing the JGXM. It is so gratifying to me , and others, to be able to give to others (if only in a little way). I really am amazed at the need out there and I’m hopeful that those who truly need help will be getting it. I am happy to help, and while it’s not necessary it is nice to be thanked by those who receive gifts from others. And I don’t know how you manage to monitor all this, my anxiety levels are up just reading these stories and also reading that some people trying to scam this wonderful gift you’ve given to so many. I’m overwhelmed tonight by the love and generosity of this tribe and will be back tomorrow to try to help some more. Many many thanks.

My family and I so appreciate this opportunity to actually have a Christmas for our family. I am so very depressed this year as we lost our middle child to drug addiction and she left behind 7 year old twins Janette & Alanna: they like LOL, stuffed animals, cars, barbies, and all those little girl things. She also left behind a child of 4 years old his name is Zeek and he loves superheros especially PJ Masks. Also, we have our twin 6 year olds, Philly & Autumn who love Batman and crafts. My teenagers who are having to be way more adult than they should are Kyle 16 who lives his PS4 and just wants a game,Nicole 15 who is my journal queen she’s going to be a writer & Marie which is 13 which loves to draw. So needless to say going from 5 kids to 8 kids is one heck of an adjustment. My husband was injured badly & is out of work; we are behind on everything and barely have food and bill money. I just wanted to thank you for helping us make a special holiday for my hurting family. We live in Catskill, NY. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3PPZMNP3I1PW
Please disregard post #700. My brother is trying to set up a list for his girls, but used my computer and things went weird. He’s deleted that list and is starting one for his kids. Just keeping it honest. Merry Christmas to all!
Happy holidays! I am asking for help this year to bring a little Christmas joy to my family. My husband usually works full-time and I stay at home with the kids but this year has been a bit of a role reversal. My husband lost his job back in March and has been receiving unemployment and looking for a new job ever since. I have gone back to work but I haven’t been able to find a job that comes close to matching my husband’s income so we have been struggling. On top of the job situation, our car chose last week to die so any savings we had is now funneled into the car. We have four children, Jason, Erin, Chloe, and Hailey, 17, 14, 11, and 5 and live in Ohio. I made a small list for the kids and anything to put under the tree for them would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Much love and joy to you all!

Hello!
I am posting a wishlist for my brother and sister in law. They recently had a special needs baby girl who is 3 months old now and is still in the NICU. They go back and forth every day an hour to see the baby and they also have two sons, ages 7 and 10. They have massive amounts of medical and travel costs to the hospital and have no time or money to purchase gifts. Anything off the list for the children will be extremely appreciated by them. I have kept to under $35 for each child :). They are in Fenton, MI. Thank you so much!

I have 2 girls, 10&14 in Colorado. All of our Christmas money went to pay for surgery on our cat Harley that got an aural hematoma. We’re not an extreme need family, but its gonna be slim this year. My 14 year old seems to be a stereotypical 14 year old obsessed with clothes, makeup and relationships. She adores all things Harry Potter. My 10 year old is a future paleontologist who loves all things stuffed and poop emojis.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Katharine (#364) – your presents are on the way – hope you all have a merry Christmas!
p.s. – they looked like they’ll arrive at different times, but should all be there by the 25th!
To A. Hardy 399 and 605 – some things are heading your way! I would have gotten the baking pans for your daughter but they aren’t Prime so can you add a different pan? I couldn’t add to the list but there is an inexpensive Amazon recommended one (or set of 2 is fine!) if you search. – Kate H.

Could someone please look at post 648? I’m having a panic attack because I screwed up before and got deleted I re did it but now I think I ruined Christmas for my kids. I just need someone to let me know if I did it right this time. (In case you didn’t notice I have severe anxiety.) thanks in advance. Can’t sleep til I’m sure I didn’t screw up for my kids. Love you all.
This would be such a blessing.This year the boys ages 6 and 8 had to deal with ne having a double mastectomy and they were so brave..they love books..trains and games..

I posted an earlier comment, but I added a coat for my 2 almost 3 year old boy and my 7 month old girl. They could really use one. My sweet 5 year old boy has his from last year. I’m a single mom and my youngest is going through a lot of physical therapy so we’re having to make a lot of trips every week and money has been tight. It’s difficult but we’re so blessed with love. It would be shipped to Seymour. This is such a wonderful thing and definitely what the holiday season is all about. Thank you!

Maybe I’m giving too much info, but I wanted to give you the full story. I have been out on medical leave since March and I am not going to be able to provide anything for my finds for Christmas. I’ve worn out my welcome with family, friends, and my church. But it’s not me that I’m worried about, it’s my kids. Their dad is not in the picture, so he is of no help either. Last I heard, he was strung out on drugs and living on the streets. I had tried to let him back into the home last year, but he took everything we had that he could sell or trade. I’m sick enough to not work right now, but not sick enough for any disability or assistance. It’s a never ending circle of disappointment that I’d love to end for even one day with my kids.
Dear Meg (#695), thank you so much! I can’t wait to tell their Kokum that an angel has provided Christmas gifts she can give to her grandchildren!!

To Kelly (737) and (648)
I took a look and still see multiple lists. Per Jenny’s point 3
“Please don’t make a separate list for each child. Just make one list for all of them.”
Hello my name is Gene I have 3 children of my own and custody of my nieces 3 after she passed away. 6 kids ages 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15. I was post 669 but I forgot to add we are in Illinois. I hope I did this right please let me know. Bless you for this I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

3 kids who have been through a lot. Z (10) and J(8) both have a lot of medical conditions including Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Chiari, Syringomyelia, Scoliosis as well as other lesser related conditions. Both are brain surgery survivors. Little sister (L) is their biggest cheerleader. Both mom and dad worked full time before diagnosis but now with so many appointments, it’s no longer possible. I stayed well under the $35 limit for each, just a little something that would totally make their day. Z loves legos. J doesn’t care for toys too much but is super crafty and she wants to learn to sew. L would love accessories for her magnetic tiles. Thank you!

I am making this for a friend because she’s not tech-savvy and would never ask for help herself.
Her name is Shirley and she’s a single parent raising 4 children by herself after her husband passed away in April. She’s been having a hard time making ends meet even with assistance and this time of the year is always tough. The kids never ask for stuff for Christmas which is rare nowadays so they’ll be happy with anything they get. Chris (12 years old) has recently gotten into reading Dungeons and Dragon books from the library and has started writing his own story which is great. Aidan (13 years old) has ADHD, ODD and social anxiety so sometimes he likes to be by himself and play games on his mom’s phone. You can imagine this leads to draining the battery, missing phone calls etc… so I think a handheld console would be nice. Mariah (15 years old) suffers from Autism so her interests are a bit younger than you’d expect but she’s REALLY been into DC Super Hero Girls the last few months and wont stop talking about them (with Harley Quinn being her favorite). Lastly Miranda (17) will be finishing up high school and headed into community college so a nice lamp for her room now and soon to be dorm room (hopefully) would be great. I have 3 coats listed but they’re all 39$ which seems like a lot of money but I couldn’t find anything else cheaper so I’m sorry. If anyone finds one cheaper in their sizes please let me know. Thank you guys very much for any help and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Hello – I just created a list for my four.
I have 8 month old Theo. He is just a baby and will not remember this Christmas so I am not as worried about him but I added a few in case someone is able.
Then is Harper Elliott who is 4. She has Down Syndrome and autism. She doesn’t speak but a few words but can sign up a storm. I did add a booster seat for her and the cheapest one I could find. If it is asking too much I will delete it. She is really outgrowing her car seat and they are not something I feel comfortable buying used. I can wait and get one on layaway after the first of the year if I need too. And I have an easel on there to try to help her learn her alphabet and all that jazz.
Next is Melody who is 7. In first grade and she reads at a 4th grade level. She loves to read so I Have some books on there for her mainly.
Last but not least is Cadence who is 14 and a typical teenage girl.
I was here last year and helped so if others need helped before me I understand. This has been a rough year. My brother died in March of cancer and his daughter took her own life days before Thanksgiving. I have lost two uncles to cancer. This past Friday my sister in law suffered a stroke and is still unconscious and has a tube releasing pressure off her brain. To say this year has sucked is an understatement but I still know that there are others who have it worse. I have just missed a lot of work and things are always tight as it is. 2019 will be my year and I will be able to come back and help. I have faith and I know it will be a better year.
Thank you for doing this Jenny and all your angels!!!

I had separate lists already of things I wanted to try to get for them so I just moved a few for each over to what I named the James Garfield list.
Merry Christmas!!!!
This is for two of my three wonderful children. My youngest is 8 months and doesn’t need anything. Joseph is 10 and Mabel is 8. Joseph saw this game and thought it looked hilarious and something that we could all play together. Mabel only wanted new colored pencils because hers are little nubbins from all of the coloring she does. She did recently ask for a warmer jacket, she has a fleece hoodie but we’ve had quite a few cold mornings and she waits outside for the bus. So that would be amazing to be able to give her that!
We’ve had a really rough few months (grandmother died, SO’s job was robbed and he had to find a new job that pays less, we were in a horrific car accident that almost killed us all and we are still trying to recover from) so this means so much to me. My kids are so amazing and have been so patient with all of the drs appointments we’ve had to go to. I’ve been able to make sure that they have a few little presents that I scrimped and saved for but these few things would really help. Thanks so much. Michelle from Florida

Kelly from 648- I can relate to the anxiety, mama.
So you should only have 1 list, put all the kids stuff on there. for each item you can click the dots to the right and hit add comment and you can write which kid it’s for. Make sure to stay under $35 total for each kid. Make sure the list is public and that you add your address, and uncheck all the boxes like “don’t spoil my surprises”
You’re doing the best you can, mama, just breathe, we’re here with you.
We are private people so it feels weird to ask for help. We got 2 girls and 2 boys that just need jackets, hats and gloves. I tried to find the cheapest stuff. I also put a small space heater since ours just broke. I cant even think about presents this year. Thanks you.https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MH98MMNE08U0/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist
Hi Orozco family! (Post 612/754)
Tried to buy the unicorn sweater but there was a problem ( you need to share your address with third party vendor since it wasn’t prime???) BUT I did purchase gifts for the other kids! (Order Number: 111-9384865-9066600) Merry Christmas!!
#630, #693, #714, #718, #724 & #729 – You each have an item on your list headed your way! 🙂
I know this is going to sound stupid but I am saving up money to leave my abusive husband. My cousin was supposed to drive down from Michigan to get me and my kids the week before Christmas but his work schedule changed (he’s a trucker) and he won’t be able to come down until after the new year now. Now that we will be here for Christmas I need gifts (but I’ll also need the money for when we leave) so I made a wishlist for my three kids (13, 9, and 4). Hopefully this can make a dent in what I need to have under the tree to explain the missing money. I had to wait until my husband left for his shift to sneak over to the neighbor’s so hopefully there are still some Santas left. We are in Indiana. http://a.co/0M3gCkx
To 612, I tried to purchase the unicorn hoodie, but for this message:
We’re sorry. This item can’t be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address. Guessing because it’s not Prime. Maybe swap in this one that is Prime: https://www.amazon.com/AooToo-Unicorn-Hoodies-Sweatshirt-Juniors/dp/B0766TR2TG/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1544500407&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=AooToo+Unicorn+Hoodies&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

Anyone else having difficulties with things suddenly not being available or stop being Prime once added to a list? It’s happened with two things on my list for my neighbor’s sons and I fear they are being passed over because stuff is coming up as unavailable to buy. I found some comparable items and hopefully someone will send these wonderful kids some cheer. Thank you!

So happy to participate in this and I have been looking forward to it. I have been a giver for several years. I know that if i ever need it, you will all be right there for me too. Thank you, Jenny for putting it together again. I love that I had to keep scrolling to find a list that hadn’t already been filled.
Crap. Yup. I messed up. This Crack Cousin picked an age inappropriate game for her 15 year cousin. Oops. I fixed it. There is now an age appropriate game for him on the list. He is ana amazing kid that lives with his mom in Los Angeles and helps take care of his baby brother. They don’t have a lot to spare for fun, so this really helps. Thank you!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/?ref_=navm_em_0_1_0_3_lists9 ml
Alright, it’s been a rough year for me as well – while maybe not as dramatic as many stories, my beloved dog has cancer and is young-ish and I couldn’t not treat him (to the tune of…ugh, I don’t even want to think about it…) and just let him die in less than 3 months at only 8 years old (but the UGH level treatment has been effective so far and he may have a year or maybe more and is acting all healthy!) – so I hit my limit quickly, but some of y’all got a few things coming your way.
Also, for the SEVERAL of you who want the “new” Lite Brite, it is backordered on Amazon and won’t arrive before Christmas, but available on Target if you can find some generous soul elsewhere. Trust me on this one…apparently it’s the hot toy of the year (and, suddenly, I’m a child again and opening the very same toy on Christmas 30-ish years ago!), and I bought it for my own family kiddos earlier today!

This is such an amazing thing you are doing! I most comfortable on the giving side, however this year has had some curve balls for us. The list is for my amazing 17yr old daughter who is a hard working senior and incredible big sister to her 2 year old little brother who was recently diagnosed with ASD. They are our light, love, and world. Thank you for this opportunity for them.

Hi. Check out this list:
This is for a baby boy, a 4 year old girl, a 5 year old girl, a 9 year old boy, a 10 year old boy, and a 17 year old girl in Massillon, Ohio.
Just wanted to add a little info ☺️
I’m a single mom and raising my sister and my niece as well after my mom passed away last summer. My sister is mentally ill and has a lot of appointments and classes to track – which is why I thought a planner would be good for her. Thanks for all your help. The kids are all good kids and have been so understanding in this year of transition within our family.
Thank you!
(I’ve already sent you all of this, including another planner. Did you delete that stuff and make a new list? Because you already have 10 things coming to you. Thanks. ~ Jenny)
This year started off very good but things began to get complicated in August. Due to very difficult circumstances and without hesitation, my husband and I got guardianship of three children (relatives). It has been very difficult from being a family of four to a family of seven but I would not change it for anything. These kids deserve better. I have included our Christmas list that consists of underwear, hats and gloves and pajamas. I think that at this time, those are the most important for us. Thank you for all that you do Jenny. You are truly an amazing soul.

Hi everyone. This has been a year for many of us. I have 3 severely mentally ill children we have our hands full but this year has been unreal. Our middle girl with schizophrenia became very unstable in March and still is. Our son with autism is adjusting to puberty starting. My friends young adult child had a beautiful daughter who is 11 months old and they will be with us a couple months while in between places. And best yet ,total sarcasm, in April my husband was in a car accident thank goodness he is ok but we never were able to get a new vehicle and by the time he was able to go back to work and had transportation his job of 15 years fired him. He is still trying to find a job with no luck! I would not care about anything under the tree except the two youngest because of their disabilities still have a lower mentality then chronological age think Santa is coming and bringing everyone gifts as long as you are good. If anyone can help us give them a Christmas we would be forever grateful! I’m reposting I was overlimit I apologize I have some trouble with reading. We r from Baltimore Maryland. Here r revised lists. Thank you
(Thanks for deleting your other lists. Looks like you have 6 things coming to you on the new list. 🙂 ~ Jenny)

I am a single mom in Georgia. I have 4 children and 2 family member’s children I have taken in for a couple of years. I lost my husband to diabetes related heart failure 8 years ago. My oldest child is 18, so I didn’t include him on the wish list. My niece and nephew are twin14 year olds. Thank you for any help you can give. This has been a rough year.
Charlie from 762- I wish I could be a giver and not a recipient this year so that I could help you, but I just wanted to say no, it doesn’t sound stupid at all that you are leaving an abusive husband. It sounds fucking brave and amazing and terrifying and I am so very very proud of you for doing this for yourself and your babies. You can do this. Stick with it. You got this, mama. Hold your head up high and don’t let anything that monster has done or said to you ever make you lower it in shame again. Good for you, love.
Thank you so much, Kristy!

My precious kiddos,Hailee Mae, 8, & Grayson, 6, are good kids who don’t ask for much. Unfortunately, this year has been a rough one for me and I could really use some help getting them the Christmas they deserve!
Hailee has been talking about the reborn baby dolls nonstop so I know she’d love to receive one of her own!
Although only 6, Grayson lives & breaths football. He plays both offense and defense lineman and would be honored to recieve special lineman gloves!
Thank You for anything you can do to help my two precious kiddos have a good Christmas this year!!

Okay, I’m exhausted and out of money. Thank you to everyone who asked for help and came out to help. You are amazing. If you are still looking to donate please read my update in the post. There are a lot of great people here who need help but just use caution. I love you all.
Hi there. I’m a single Dad of 2 boys, 11 and 13. I could really use some help. I am disabled and we struggle every month. I have reached out and have gotten used clothing and such but wish I could get them something to make their eyes light up Christmas morning. They are my little geniuses and have built desktops over the last few years from the ground up. It would mean the world to me if they could get the desktop sets on my wishlist. I had to put 2 different ones because it wouldn’t let me put the same item twice. I also add a couple pairs of boots which living in the finger lake region in NY is useful and dress shirts which it’s been forever since I could buy for my boys. I appreciate any help possible and even those who take the time to read this. Hope everyone the most wonderful Christmas and holiday season and thank you.
I did update to only prime items. The kids biggest wish is the keyboard mouse set. Only one fit the price and other than 2 colors they appear the same but I do realize the squeeze past the limit. I hope that would be ok. I’m so stressed out this year. I try very hard and it’s not easy to ask but if anyone could help with this special wish for my boys I could let those blues lift away and smile. Thank you.

Hi, I’m a single mom of 4 wonderful children. They deserve the world from me and yet I couldn’t even give my son a dollar from “the tooth fairy” when he lost his tooth yesterday. I did some quick talking and convinced him to wait until today when I’d be able to get a dollar from my assistance payment and a pillow to put it under. I want to keep his sense of childlike wonder as long as possible.
With a lot of practice, I kept my tears from falling and redirected his attention to something more interesting so I wouldn’t cry in front of him.
My older kids understand that things are hard and they know that I’m not working because I’m sick. They know about the tumors, and why I’m always laying down. But I know deep down that they would appreciate it if someone sent a few presents their way. I’ve included their toy, clothing and book wishlists. Anything helps. Right now it’s just so hard to keep going. I’m always in pain and depressed and anxious. Seeing them happy makes me happy. Thank you and happy holidays!

We love you. I love you. You have helped my family tremendously the last 2 years, and as an aspiring writer, you are definitely an inspiration to me. Hugs sweet dreams!
I’m #787. If you’re still looking to help anyone please consider my kids. I have zero to put under tree and due to my technical ignorance it took me all afternoon to fix it right. Brian has autism and adhd. Briana has schizophrenia Nicole has anxiety and I took in 17 year old Megan with her 11 month old mia til she gets on her feet. Thank you all for dealing with my craziness especially Nicole Hanson who calmed me down enough to breathe again.
Kelly 787 I think all those babies are lucky to have a mama that loves them enough to endure an all day anxiety attack to try to get them a few presents. You deserve some peace 💓 💓 💓

Four kids ages 7, 3, 2 and 4 months we live in Seaside oregon. I just started a new job and trying to catch up on past due Bills and make Christmas happen has proven to be an almost impossible task. Thank you for your kindness.
I’m just back on to read the updates and say a huge thank you to all of you on here who have opened your hearts to help those of us who struggle through this time of year and sometimes all year. Just know that no matter what you are appreciated!

I posted the wrong link above. I hit the invite and copied that. I just checked my list and had 7 collaborators…
Please check out my list and send some love to my family.
Hugs Kelly! I don’t know what it’s like to deal with your particular situation, but I know what it’s like to be between a hammer and an anvil. How do you feel now? I was panicking too and the update by Jenny makes me feel sad.
Marie 798 I tried giving you some advice earlier so you don’t have to just keep reposting the same post over and over, and let you know what the guidelines are, but your list is still way over budget. The angels have been specifically instructed to ignore lists like yours, because it looks like you’re scamming.
In case you made a mistake, again, the limit is $35 per child. Just the first kid you have listed is over $60. Try to make the list reasonable and fair, within the rules, and someone might fill it. Best of luck.
(Looks like your wishlist has been filled! ~ Jenny)
Marie 798. I’m breathing better but still crying because I know my kids won’t have Christmas without this and I unintentionally screwed it up and fixed it to late. Please don’t be sad. I will keep you in my heart.
Updated the list. I have 2 girls and one older son. Thanks for sharing the love https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1Q1MIAJ3YSHEO
I have 6 kids and now I feel so ashamed for asking for help.
I just cannot afford to give them anything. Nothing on their list was bought I guess by blog orders so Please delete my list I will pray for another way thank you anyway
I am glad others got their wishes Merry Christmas

My precious kiddos,Hailee Mae, 8, & Grayson, 6, are good kids who ask for much. Unfortunately, this year has been a rough one for me and I could really use some help getting them the Christmas they deserve!
Hailee has been talking about the reborn baby dolls nonstop so I know she’d love to receive one of her own!
Although only 6, Grayson lives & breaths football. He plays both offense and defense lineman and would be honored to recieve special lineman gloves!
Thank You for anything you can do to help my two precious kiddos have a good Christmas this year!!
Thank You, Lisa Johnson

Hi, I’m making this list for my two children. Who are nine, Alice, and fifteen, Jon. I just started a new job today as a Hostess and have had a hard time finding one making finances really tight right now. I am in no way expecting everything on this list. Just maybe two of the highest priority gifts, but I’ve read the other people posting and honestly think they deserve more help. Thank you so much Jenny for doing this and helping out the way you do to make Christmas magical for so many children. Also, that boar James is creepy and ridiculous.

Gene 669 it looks like most of the things on your list WERE bought? And she wasn’t talking about people that have a lot of kids, she meant people that are going way over the $35 limit for each kid. There are people that have hundreds of dollars of stuff listed for each child. there’s no need to feel bad for asking for help, that’s why most of us were here.

I’ve granted several but noticed 635 and 642 has reasonable wishes and none purchased if someone wants to fill a wish. It’s been fun this year.
Hey Kelly 787 looks like at least some of your items have been bought, see? It all works out! I’ll bet your list is empty tomorrow! Smile, mama. Wish I could buy it myself 🙁
(Looks like your wishlist has been filled! ~ Jenny)
It’s ok Kelly. You didn’t mean to do that and I know someone will help you. Nicole, I went over it again. Please check and let me know if it’s ok? I deleted the coats. They need them but not at the risk of getting skipped over. I now feel like a terrible person but I know you’re trying to help. I’m going to lay down because I’m sick and my face is swollen like a prizefighter haha.

Jenny #603 – your items are on the way – Amazon says 2 will get there by the 12th and the last one by the 14th! I hope 2019 is a better year for you and your family!!
Marie 798 yeah looks much better! I know it can be confusing, definitely wasn’t trying to make you feel bad. I just want to make sure your kiddos have a good Christmas. A man I can relate to the swelling, but mine are my feet and legs. Can’t wait to hurry up and have this baby. I hope your list is empty tomorrow!
Hello, all!
We have 2 girls, 4 and 11. My husband is a disabled veteran that his been requiring more car, and we can’t seem to keep our heads above water. He feels bad that most of our lives revolve around him and has mentioned suicide more than once. 🙁 I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle on more than one level. The girls are patient and sweet, and while they get frustrated at time spent in the car or doctors offices, they don’t often let it show. These gifts would help give them something to do when we’re on the go.
The littlest love needs some sensory help to strengthen her fine motor skills, so that’s reflected in the choices labeled “Little Girl.” They’re recommending OT for her, but our insurance doesn’t cover much. These items were suggestions from friends. She also has a winter coat, but she really needs shoes and socks that fit. 🙁 If that’s not allowed, I will remove them.
My big girl is such a blessing, and she doesn’t even know it. She actually still believes in Santa, but because of her height, she was recently ignored when we got a chance to see him. It really crushed her, and I didn’t know about it until after we left. 🙁 She really loves Fear Street books, and I know she doesn’t think I know that she reads after bedtime, but she’s killing batteries for an old flashlight left and right. 🙂 She also really wants a squishy and loves unicorns. All items for her are labeled “Big Girl.” A friend of ours recently gave her one of her old winter coats, and my girl desperately wants a matching hat and gloves, because she gets made fun of for the mismatched, ancient set that uses. Again, if the hat and gloves aren’t allowed, I will remove them.
This Christmas spirit is beautiful, whether we’re chosen or not. And I hope other in rough situations know that I will pray for you. We are so thankful for anyone who even considers help.
Here’s their list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3VJGOHABZ1XSI
For those of you who are frustrated that things on your list haven’t been bought yet, hang tight! This is the first year (of 4) that I’ve remembered this is going on on the first day it happens. Many, many people (like me) usually show up late to the game and find mostly empty lists, but we keep clicking. We’re a persistent bunch…we’ll find you!
Gene 669 – I was buying your list as you were losing hope! I just saw your second post down here- The holidays can be stressful, but please remember to keep the faith, and please, be kind to yourself. I hope you and your children have a Merry Christmas!
I’m going to try this year as last year I put up a list and I was too late.
I work full time as a nurse, my husband is disabled. We have 4 kids.
Anything helps.

Deet- thanks for being an angel! I’ve seen so many desperate, hopeless people in here and I wish I had the money to help, but I’m definitely a recipient this year. My list got filled and I’m just getting joy watching other people get their lists filled too! And you came in right at the perfect time for Gene! Hugs
maybe I was too late either way if any one is left I would be grateful to any gifts sent our way. going to bed hopefully they will have coats on the way tomorrow.
(You never said wear you live or how many kids you have. Remember the $35 limit. Also, I don’t see any coats on your list. ~ Jenny)

Lisa #793 – I don’t think your link is right? It takes me to my own list, not yours? Maybe check it again?
I think my post got lost in the shuffle a little bit so if it’s okay I’m going to repost once more before I go to bed. Happy holidays! I am asking for help this year to bring a little Christmas joy to my family. My husband usually works full-time and I stay at home with the kids but this year has been a bit of a role reversal. My husband lost his job back in March and has been receiving unemployment and looking for a new job ever since. I have gone back to work but I haven’t been able to find a job that comes close to matching my husband’s income so we have been struggling. On top of the job situation, our car chose last week to die so any savings we had is now funneled into the car. We have four children, Jason, Erin, Chloe, and Hailey, 17, 14, 11, and 5 and live in Ohio. I made a small list for the kids and anything to put under the tree for them would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Much love and joy to you all!

Thank you so much to Lindsay for getting the flashcards for Hailey!

I think my post #403 got lost in the shuffle with so many comments. My daughters’ wishlists haven’t been bought for yet. I struggle with anxiety and nerve disorders, and push through with the best of my abilities to work. Medical bills for my children really set us back this fall. Any help at all is truly appreciated with all of my heart. I will pay it forward when I am able to. Thank you for reading.

Most of what my kids are getting is hand made or purchased from thrift stores or yard sales, but my daughter asked for a new footie sleeper as she’s outgrown hers, and I havne’t been able to find one big enough for my 15 year old second-hand. They are expensive, so I’ve only put this on for her; honestly it’s the only thing she’s asked for and it kills me I can’t afford it.
Son is pretty easy to please, but it would be nice to give him something that was new, instead of just thrift store items. So i’ve put a Magnus Chase book (he’s a huge fan and I think this is the only one we havne’t found at our local second-hand book shop) and a math game because he is never happier than when he can talk folks into playing a game with him, and we enjoy fluxx.
Thank you to anyone who can help. My kids are getting a few things for Christmas, as I’ve had some luck with the local thrift shops, but it’s always nice to open something new if you can. 🙂

Thank you for the books! I know they will love them. Nicole, thank you for helping me. Preeclampsia or swelling sucks during pregnancy. I’m praying for you to have a safe and healthy pregnancy full of happiness and great memories! I’m a writer and I love meeting other writers.
Original poster 609 here, and I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity. I am doing my best to reach out in as many ways as possible for my kiddos, so if our list doesn’t get touched here that’s okay! We have four kiddos and four items on our list, each is well under the $35 limit. If you have a chance to take a look, great! If not, please don’t feel bad; there are plenty of people on this list who I’ve seen get help tonight and that’s wonderful.
Again, thank you to the people who make this possible. I’m so sorry it’s getting frustrating for you, but I hope everything turns out well for everyone involved. May whatever God you follow bless you richly this holiday season!

Jenny, I messed up. Post 345/450. She just made one joint list after I told her too. I thought it had to be one joint list instead of a separate one for each child. She didn’t delete the old lists because she said 1 item was bought off Gracie’s (a barbie 6.99), Joey’s (a pokemon watch 7.99) and Micheal’s (lift the flap book 8.98). She didnt want to look like she was deleting bought items. I will tell her to delete those lists when she comes by tomorrow. She did put “do not buy from this list’ on the old ones tonight.

I am post 789 and 799. I only have my phone for internet and I have really had a time getting it to stay up long enough to do a complete post.
I will repeat what I said in the first post . I am a single mom who lost her husband in 2010 from heart failure related to diabetes. I have 4 teens, but the oldest is 18, so I have not included him. I took in my brother’s twins when he was committed to a psychiatric hospital earlier this year. They are aged 14. It has been a difficult year. I would be thrilled to get some help! Thank you all!

Gene, everything bar one has been purchased today. This is stressful time for so many of us and it can be a default to think negative things are always aimed at us. This time I truly don’t think it was. Merry Christmas.
Reading through all these great needs and sweet angels has made my night. I am so sorry for any who are taking advantage of this generous program. I am at 663 with an amazing miracle Cerebral Palsy warrior who started out fighting at two pounds and hasn’t stopped even though he still needs oxygen and two other children but I am humbled by the blessings that have come for others through this great program. Even if my children are not similarly blessed I will think back to the kindness of so many strangers during this Christmas season! Thank you for that gift!

Original post #482, really hope these sweet boys can get the two things I listed for each of them.
I was lucky enough to benefit from this wonderful community last year. The James Garfield miracle saved our Christmas and made it so special for my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped us!
This year we are in a better place and are excited to help others. I’ve already sent a few gifts from here but I would like to extend the generosity to my neighbor and dear friend. He’s a single dad of two boys, ages 12 & 9. Dad just recently lost his job and is wondering how he is going to make it through this holiday season. The boys say they don’t mind skipping Christmas this year, they understand there’s no money, but I would love to help make them feel special! I started a small list for them last month in hopes James Garfield would spread holiday cheer again. Thank you!

I know this must be a serious hassle to keep track of, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing it, Jenny. We were pretty poor when I was a kid, but we always had Christmas. It breaks my heart to think of anyone with kids not having something under the tree. Best wishes to everyone who donates, and thanks again, Jenny. You have the biggest heart of anyone I know.
My original post 652 had an item change in price but I replaced it with something below the limit, a few of my other kids’ item are on sale so I don’t know if their price will change too, sorry I was “that” person and didn’t realize it lol 😂

Hi. I am a 34 year old single mom to 4 children. In January of 2018 I tragically and suddenly lost my husband of 13 years. I work fulltime, but the expenses of switching to one income ate us up this year. A dear friend of mine who donates here suggested I add my name. We live in the USA. I added hoodies instead of coats because they are very much needed and it doesn’t get horribly cold. My kids are a 13 old girl Charlotte, twins Isaac & Mallory are 10, and my 2 year old Jameson. These kids are my life and the gift my husband left behind. They deserve everything, every day. We luckily have been able to keep our home which as my oldest says is enough, but I’m hoping to provide a few gifts. Thank you so much for this amazing blog, and opportunity to put a list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/jetb99T

@Dadsneedhelpplease , in the short-term the Food Psych Podcast is a wonderful resource for getting a better relationship with food and body image: https://christyharrison.com/foodpsych/ ; long-term it might be a good idea to seek a therapist who deals with food/body-image issues. It’s hard to be a teenaged girl and it’s great that she has your support. Good luck to you both!
The only things left are the one non clothing item my nephew asked for and needs for school and a tee-shirt for my daughter.
I appreciate the kindness and generosity thank you Deet you are a blessing
Thank you so much for everyone who bought for my children, I feel so very blessed and embarrassed at the same time. I forgot to add jackets for my older children earlier. I have added some and some pairs of socks. I understand completely if it is too late for those. Everyone who helps out is amazing, you really are. Thank you again for being such a blessing and for giving my family the opportunity to have a better Christmas 🎄

And here is my story of what has lead me down this path.
Maybe I’m giving too much info, but I wanted to give you the full story. I have been out on medical leave since March and I am not going to be able to provide anything for my finds for Christmas. I’ve worn out my welcome with family, friends, and my church. But it’s not me that I’m worried about, it’s my kids. Their dad is not in the picture, so he is of no help either. Last I heard, he was strung out on drugs and living on the streets. I had tried to let him back into the home last year, but he took everything we had that he could sell or trade. I’m sick enough to not work right now, but not sick enough for any disability or assistance. It’s a never ending circle of disappointment that I’d love to end for even one day with my kids.
Oh my goodness Anonymous commenter #861! I seriously cant believe that you bought all 4 of my kids coats! I cant even express how grateful that I am! You are keeping 4 small humans warm that otherwise would not be through no fault of their own. I hope that you can feel the warmth and gratitude being sent your way. <3 <3 <3 Thank you so incredibly much!
Ok, my list was already filled (you guys are divine) and I told my friend about this, I had to talk her into it because she hates accepting help, and then the poor thing has spent hours trying to get the list right, and she keeps having problems, so I just had her send me the items so I can post for her. This is an awesome family, Dad is starting his own handyman business, but it’s still new so business is sporadic. Mom had to give up a decent paying job so they could move to LA to help family, and now is working part time in a grocery store, and things are just tight for them, especially in expensive Los Angeles. They have a 13 year old girl who just wants jeans and a book, and a 12 year old boy who wants a nice cardigan for school and a book. They are some of my fave kiddos in the world, and so humble, and I would love to see them get their wishes fulfilled. Thanks to the angels in advance!

Mother of 4 here located in West Anaheim California, i have two 5 year old twins named Harmony and Melody, a 16 year old daughter named Angela and a 17 year old son named Anthony. We have been blessed in so many ways this year. Early January i gained the strength to walk away from an abusive man who had been making mine and my childrens lives a living hell, which landed us in a shelter but it truly turned out to be a blessing in disguise! They offered us so many resources, they provided me with free child care and transportation which ultimately led to me finding a stable full time job and we were just approved for a low income apartment of our own this past month in which we just moved into! My children have gone through so many hardships this year and never once complained they deserve so much more than i can give them! They are not expecting any Christmas gifts this year we were just planning on watching the new Marry Poppins movie and going out for dinner for the first time in months! So thank you to all you wonderful individuals on this thread who are giving children these wondeful gifts of love! They mean so much more than you’ll ever know! May god bless you so you can continue to bless others. Happy holidays.

I love that you do this but am astonished at the amount of people who are either just greedy (I hope it’s not that) or just don’t follow instructions properly.

I have 2 boys 14 and 12. I would like to get them a few books to read.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/BMPQAB6MH0RB
THANK YOU to whomever purchased the 2 comic books for my youngest. He will LOVE them.
Also thank you for understanding if you have to choose which kid to gift, always choose the youngest that still believes. <3

Hi, I hope it’s not too late to post my wishlist? I have 16 month old twins (we’re in DFW area of Texas) and struggling this year. I added some of the necessities that we need, rather than toys, which I hope is allowed. I didn’t specify which kid for each one because all items on my list will be used by both, so instead I did my best to stay within the price limit. Thanks to whoever can help. Merry Christmas <3

I went through and deleted the expensive art supplies for the 10 year old. The art supplies were not bought. I decided it’s better to get a variety of smaller gifts than nothing at all. Thank you for getting all of the books my oldest wanted and a book for my 5 year old.There’s still a few things left and my 8 and 10 year old haven’t been gifted.

I’m not sure who finished filling the wishlist I posed for my son’s bestie’s family, and am having issues getting the search-in-comments to work, but THANK YOU on behalf of two great kids who just want to stop attracting bullies for stupid reasons like clothes that don’t fit, so they can at least attract bullies for better reasons, like their being great kids.
I realized that the gifts I’d wishlisted for my own kid included a very-not-sold-as-Prime-item book and a DVD that only worked as an add-on, so I stuck another option there….a book he’s wanted his own copy of for a long time.
I’m so happy to hear that it’s not preeclampsia! Had it twice and it’s awful. That name sounds pretty and I bet they’re so excited for her. It will go fast! Just won’t feel like it now. Yes I saw that someone bought the items for my 13 year old and a book for my 5 year old! I deleted the 10 year olds art supplies and replaced them with smaller items. The 5 year old would enjoy a dinosaur themed rc toy more so I took off the star wars set. I’m so grateful and thankful to whoever did that! Kelly are you doing? PL see your eyes and do your Lamaze breathing. It doesn’t work for labor but is excellent for stress relief.
Blaarrgghh….according to my computer my last attempt to comment errored, so I apologize if this double-posts!

Could anyone advise, please? I posted quite awhile ago; original comment #533, I believe. Jen from Iowa, single mom to five. I understand it’s winding down now and there have been issues so I completely get if no help is available. I received several notifications that ppl had joined/viewed my list but nothing has been purchased? Did I not copy it properly? I did use the “invite” originally but hadn’t received any feedback about any issues. I realize this is a really busy thread!
I didn’t add my oldest son bc he is 22. I added my daughter who turned 18 this year but understand that she doesn’t meet the guidelines. I thought I could put those things on her list to share w/family later…that those willing, able, and generous here would not necessarily purchase everything but as they saw fit? My list contains a body wash for my three younger boys to share, a pack of Uno and Dos cards, a Minion blanket, a mood ring, a Naruto lanyard, three books, and orange blossom water and bottles (for body and hair spray for my daughter which I understand may not be acceptable). And the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, from Beetlejuice, which my kids are big fans of. It’s just a blank notebook made to look like the handbook.
Thanks for any input. It’s really awesome to see how fast you all are reaching out 🙂

Single mom, second year post-divorce… son has ASD. My work options are limited due to his need for constant monitoring. We’re a little worse off than last year
Hello! I have 5 kids. Taylor (16), Chloe (8), Jaxon (10), Jake (13), and Gage (7). Gage has an undiagnosed disorder and is wheelchair bound and requires complete care. It’s been a really tough year. I usually plan throughout the year for Christmas by trying to buy things on clearance and putting them back for the kids. My anxiety and depression has made this very difficult this year and I am now facing not being able to do more than just shoes for the kids for Christmas. They are awesome kids and do their beat to help me. They deserve something fun under the tree. Anything you can do to help will be so appreciated.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2SX8NYHAB0MNQ
Suzanne Victory 894- love the book titles you have on there, but please read the guidelines again, limit is supposed to be $35 total per child. Jenny just posted a whole update about how frustrating it is that people were asking for so much. People will ignore your list if it doesn’t follow the guidelines, and wanna make sure your kiddos gets some presents. Good luck!
QUESTION:
Jenny, I was able to thrift a coat in my son’s new size, but he can’t wear used footwear because he already has gait problems with his neuromuscular issues. Would it be allowed to add snow boots to my list for him, in the place of a coat? We live in central NY, so both are a must. Honestly, he needs new gloves too, but I haven’t tracked down the right kind for waterproof-ness, warmth, and still leaving him any fine motor control. (Does anyone have any ideas?) Boots are simpler, though. Unfortunately, he went and had another growth spurt this week, and now all his winter stuff went from just big enough to grow into, to just uncomfortably small.
Hello! I messed up my post earlier but I think I got it figured out now. Thanks for any help that you could give these great kids!
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2S3RCBTWP6O08?type=wishlist&filter=unpurchased&sort=default
Liz #904 – your gifts and warm coat are on their way. Unfortunately it looks like the thumb piano wont get there until the 26th. Fingers crossed that shipping is faster, but hopefully your kids wont mind celebrating a second day in a row. Happy JBXM!
I swear, I did this last year, too. When this thread geta posted, I abandon Facebook and just refresh this every 2 minutes. I get to go to bed with a smile on my face knowing not only are my babies getting presents from Angels, so many other people’s babies are too! I love things like this that restore my faith in humanity, and I can’t wait til next year when I’m stable and get to empty a few wihlists myself! Goodnight all, see you in the morning, you beautiful, wonderful people!
big christmas hugs
I apologize for seeming ungrateful, my comment t and the purchases were simultaneously done according to Deet (Thank you again Deet!)
Heather #481 – your girl’s science books, art supplies, and winter items are on their way. One of the books (The Elements in Your Room) says it wont be delivered until the 26th. I hope the shipping is faster but hopefully your girls wont mind extending the celebration. Happy JCXM!
#748/#749 I put the city in the Wishlist comment but not in the original post but it’s Springvale Maine. Sorry about that.
Jenny – thank you for doing this again, even if it’s stressful and overwhelming. I think I’ve said this every year but I love having the opportunity to help bring someone else a little joy on Christmas morning. My family just has adults in it, and we all have way more than we need so we don’t do presents. Happy JGXM! xoxo
Wait. Jenny, why does it cost you more to send things to Canada? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t it just depend on which version of amazon you’re on rather than where YOU are? If they make their list on Canadian amazon, the link will take you to Canadian amazon and you can shop there (with your same amazon account, because amazon is universal). I’m in Sweden doing this, but that doesn’t mean I’m shopping at Swedish amazon and having things shipped over. (Swedish amazon doesn’t exist, but you get the idea.). Sorry if there’s some other weird thing that happens that I don’t get, but if I can use Canadian amazon, it would be strange if Americans can’t.
I hope my post 879 is correct. I have one eye but think I read rules correct.
Hello my name is Gene I have 3 children of my own and my nieces 3 as well. She passed away this year as did my wife and now it just me and the kids.

Could someone see if mine is fixed? I just saw Jenny commented that I didn’t have an address. I think I originally only had it in my account and didn’t specifically put in on that list but shortly after I posted it I switched it. I’m not sure if the comment was before or after so if possible could anyone maybe look and see? I never claimed to be the brightest crayon in the book 😂😂. Original post 855. Also, I was looking at some lists and Jennifer salas’ was taking me to mine?
Hi, I’m a single mom of 4 wonderful children. They deserve the world from me and yet I couldn’t even give my son a dollar from “the tooth fairy” when he lost his tooth yesterday.
I did some quick talking and convinced him to wait until today when I’d be able to get a dollar from my assistance payment and a pillow to put it under. I want to keep his sense of childlike wonder as long as possible.
With a lot of practice, I kept my tears from falling and redirected his attention to something more interesting so I wouldn’t cry in front of him.
My older kids understand that things are hard and they know that I’m not working because I’m sick. They know about the tumors, and why I’m always laying down. But I know deep down that they would appreciate it if someone sent a few presents their way. I’ve included their toy, clothing and book wishlists. Anything helps. Right now it’s just so hard to keep going. I’m always in pain and depressed and anxious. Seeing them happy makes me happy and lifts my spirits!

I am making this post for my nieces 10 and and 13 their mom could use some help getting some gifts for them this year because money is tight. The younger one loves watching YouTube and opening mystery toys and her sister loves Harry Potter. If there are still people here gifting kiddos I would really appreciate the help. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Here is the list I hope it is done correctly https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2KSA8D1ZGDV0P
Oops didn’t mean to copy and paste the other lists. Just their toy list. I’m sleepy and sick so not at my best.
I must have done my list wrong. I posted it last night before I went to bed and it is still the same. Can someone please check it?
I was told about this group from a waitress at work. I have been working full time but my truck needed to be fixed so I could get to work. That took up just about all my Christmas money. I got 3 kids.
My son is 14 and autistic. His controller to his gamecube busted and he is lost without it.
My two girls are 13 and 8.My oldest understands money is tight but the littler one asked santa for a doll I can’t afford. Any help would be a huge blessing!
Thank you

TO POST 794 Cyndi :
I have a 20 dollar gift card for Amazon for you 794 that I got from doing surveys. I was blessed by these beautiful people on here with a toy and outfit a piece and want to return the favor. I know it’s not much but I’ve went through every list and you have asked for much less than all the others and with 5 foster kids.What a heart of gold. I know it will only purchase 1 small gift but I hope it helps. Do you have an email I can send it to so you can use it on whichever gift? Can someone help with then other few items she has?
Here is the link, https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=501094
Now here is the big old mess our life has turned out to be.
My family and i lost our eldest son about six months ago. Due to outside circumstances , we have had to move hurriedly almost monthly with just the clothes on our back. And its not like you see on tv, the government doesn’t swoop in to help or pay for it! We have changed our names so many times, my youngest doesn’t even remember his true name anymore. We have done nothing illegal, just to make sure you know you’re not contributing to anything nefarious. We are just unfortunate victims who can’t catch a break. I’ve got everyone listed with all their wishes. If you’re able to do anything, i would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
I have modified my list because it was deleted due to being over the limit. I am truly sorry about that. Here is the new list.

Clare (368) – I tried, but the jacket cannot be delivered to a gift registry address. Sorry.
Jeananne, one thing has been purchased off your list. A bottle of perfume. You haven’t been forgotten!
Just wanted to see if anyone could help with the coats for my girls.

Thank you so much for this! It’s just me and my three kids, and this is so helpful! It can be hard to justify the cost of things that are just fun and make it feel like a real holiday.

Ro’s list again, just in case: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1HBM5U5GHWJ6R
Also, sometimes we add things to our lists or shopping carts when they’re one price, but by the time someone goes to buy it, the price has changed. Amazon increases and decreases item prices during certain times of the day and if the product is getting a lot of traffic. Not everyone is going over the gift limits on purpose. My original list had several things on it that weren’t over $35 because I thought it was a per item limit, not a per child limit. I also wanted to give a variety of choices to the gift givers so it would leave more of a chance of my daughter getting a few somethings, instead of nothing at all. I doubt many people are looking at this as a free gift grab. I’m certainly not, and I’m beyond happy and grateful for what’s been purchased for my girl. She’s going to love them all! (Apparently all tern girls want fairy lights in their bedrooms so they can have good Instagram photos. Oy! lol)
I’m sure I completely missed this but a friend messaged me during the night and I’m just seeing this. I have been raising my daughter on my own for 16 years. She’s extremely smart and beautiful. She was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to take a missions trip to Honduras. It was of course very expensive but she worked her butt off helping to raise money. We somehow pulled it all off and she was able to go. She just got home last week and what an experience!!! I do wish I could share some of these pictures w you. Anyway, 3 years ago we welcomed her little brother into the world and then quickly started wishing we could send him back! They sure don’t make babies like they did back then lol. I’ve put together a few things for them and if Im too late it’s completely understandable. My daughter already knew that I wouldn’t be able to pull off Christmas and a missions trip that close together so I really don’t think she’s expecting anything. My son is speech delayed so even if he is expecting I won’t know so can’t feel bad! God, I’m a shitty mom 🤣😂🤣😂

Jenny, I am so sorry you’re feeling frustrated by this beautiful miracle you’re hosting! I too, became overwhelmed by all the crazy wishlists, and decided to just donate to Project Night Night instead, but thank you for all you do all year! I also bought Furiously Happy for my nursing home penpal, who thinks you’re hysterical.

Sorry if I double post, logging into wordpress is such a pain to leave a comment!!
Hey all. I was worried this wasnt going to happen this year, and I’m so grateful to Jenny that it is!!
I have a great job, working in a warehouse 3rd shift. But the first 7 months of the year I was out of work, first on bed rest for pregnancy, then my 6 weeks of maternity leave. Even tho the dr wanted me home 10 weeks, I went back at 6 because we were desperate for the money. My fiance works landscaping, so during the winter he receives unemployment unless it snows. His unemployment is roughly half of his normal pay, so that’s a big hit this year. We are in the process of appealing the decision since it’s never been this low before. Anyways, all together its put us at struggling, and behind on rent. I get paid today and my choices are to either pay rent or buy Christmas. We are already 2k behind on rent so that is a priority to me. Homeless in Wisconsin during the winter is something I dont want to experience, which is why I’m here!!
I’ve got 3 girls- Lizzi (11), Aeris (2) and Jayde (7 months). I’ve made a combo list for all 3, as it’s the list I send to anyone who may ask what to get. It’s obvious the choices I’ve picked for Lizzi since shes a preteen, and the little girls will wind up sharing the toys of course. Liz is really awesome with helping with the little girls while I sleep when shes home, and helps my disabled mom out all the time as well. She deserves to be able to open gifts and I feel like crap for getting so deep into the hole with rent. Aeris is grasping what Christmas is, and I dont want to leave her without anything. Jayde really doesnt know the difference but would love the baby book and bath toys anyways lol.
If anyone is able to help, I’d be grateful beyond words! Have a blessed holiday season!

Andrea 954 check to make sure you’re posting the right link, that looks like the link that takes people to their own list.
Just an observation – if several of the items on your wishlist have been bought, it comes across as pretty ungrateful to then post asking if anyone can buy the remaining ones for you while not bothering to say even a brief thank you to those who have already given you something. I must admit, I am now wondering whether the person I bought for is geniunely in need, or simply out for whatever they can get.
Hi everyone. I have twin girls & 1 boy. Money is super tight this year due to therapy for all 3 kids. I’m a single mom so I sometimes I have take off work for these appointments. My boy, who is 12, has ADHD and the twins currently have expressive/receptive language delay, but were recently evaluated for Autism. My husband also passed away in February, so I’ve just been a wreck.
Thanks in advance to anyone who purchase items on my list. It is really appreciated. Hopefully I can be on the giving end next year. Even if it’s only buying 1 item. Happy Holidays! Detroit, Michigan

My sister pointed this out to me, and if I’m not too late, I do have to ask for help. After a year of serious illness, I’m only just getting back on my feet now. My family are in no position to help me at the moment. We live in Winchester, in the UK. I have two sweet boys, 11 (A) and 9 (T). The 11 year old is really into fitness and sports, and my 9 year old loves to learn.
They both love life and they are so helpful and so very kind. Anything would help, and I have been very careful to stay under the limit, as it’s not fair or necessary to go over. Neither of them need new coats, but I have added two clothing items that they do need. If this isn’t allowed, please accept my apology!! Thank you to everyone who considers me.

@Kate #959, I don’t know which bought the 3 items off my daughter’s list, but I did say “thank you” to whoever did, just in case they see my comment. If a gift tag/paper comes with the gifts, I will go into Amazon and have a thank you message sent to those people.
I think it’s possible those asking for help either cannot find the comments where their Santa Angels posted that they bought items, or they’re just maybe having some anxiety over the items that haven’t been purchased yet because those might be important or needed things.
That’s not to say some aren’t gaming the system, but I would bet my last nickel that the majority aren’t, they’re just desperate and scared.
OMG! Thanks so much!!!! I am crying right now. Blessings to everyone helping this year. 🙂
Please keep in mind that the limit is $35 for each kid

Charlie (#762) — There is NOTHING stupid about saving to get you and your kids away from abuse, or simple about managing to do so, since abusers tend to do what they can to force dependence. I grew up with abuse and managed to break those chains around and inside me, but too few are able to escape the pattern. I spend a lot of time doing abuse education, advocacy and counseling work, as my way of trying to help others spare themselves….and their kids….the kinds of things I grew up with. I wish I was in the position to help you in other ways, too.
If anyone is in Metro Detroit, Mi, there is an event that’s providing toys for kids. It’s on 12/22. You must register here:

I’m not in the position to help financially, but figured I could share this. Hope someone finds help in this!
I’m a stay at home mom currently looking for work. My husband tote his Achilles last month and is unable to work right now. We have 3 children. 16 year old boy, 13 year old girl, and our miracle 3 year old. Our oldest two are very crafty and artistic! Looks like our youngest is going to be so as well. I’ve added items for each kid. This will definitely make Christmas even more special for us! My son is the only one who needs a coat so I added one for him as well. Thank you!!!
We are in Michigan.

Let me start off with I am very grateful to Jenny and all the kind folks here.
I am a single parent to a wonderful 9 year old daughter. I was let go from my mostly nice job back in September and my current job just doesn’t cut it in terms of finances. I am always behind on everything, including rent, and Christmas so far has come from the dollar store (and one doll from my mother). I’ve had some friends offer to get some small things I can claim as mine and that’s super kind. It breaks my heart this year that I can’t even scrape up much for her as I have always done. She’s recently had a bad turn for the worse mentally and just spent a week getting inpatient psychiatric help so even just the two items I’ve listed on the list will brighten her spirits. She’s recently really gotten into legos and it seems to soothe her when shes having a hard time.
I created my list of $35 per the rules. I just have the one daughter, but either item on this list would make her day. http://a.co/em8jlT9
Hi I just wanted to say a huge thank you to whoever bought the funko pop and hatchimals figurines off of the girls list. I don’t know who you are but I am grateful for you. Here is their list again if anyone else can help but I am already so excited for them to open these.

Thank you so much
Kristen 107 – Sending a few items your way. Could not be a rougher time to be an immigrant in this country–don’t know what I’d say to my child if I was in that situation!
Original post #702, only asked for one gift per kid. Could really use the help as our heat is out again this morning and we are awaiting the repairman 🙁 praying for a cheap and quick fix! Merry Christmas and God Bless!
If you’re a recipient, please remember to say thank you! Amazon includes an option to send a message without knowing the person’s actual details.
I haven’t received a thank you for the past few JGXM runs, so this year I’m going to donate to a charity in my country, but in your honour Jenny.
Thank you to everyone who has been so generous!
EJ #70 – Ironically I was just ordering a lockbox for meds because my 14 year old who suffers from chronic anxiety and depression told her therapist that her suicide plan involved collecting all the meds in the house and taking them all at once. Breaks my heart to even type this; I can kind of understand what you are feeling. There was only one item left on your list, but it’s on its way to you. Hoping things get better for us both and our daughters next year!
Y’all. I woke up this morning to each of my girls (8,6 and 4) getting some warm and something fun. Words can’t express what I’m feeling. Thank you thank you thank you! We didn’t ask for much, and I’m just so happy for them right now. I did add some sensory-type toys, (as a long shot). These are the type of things we asked family for, since they serve dual functions. My eldest and youngest both deal with SPD. We’re starting therapy for the eldest this January, providing insurance covers it. If nothing else comes our way, no biggie. We’ve been blessed beyond belief. Thank you all again, my heart is full.

I am unable to help monetarily (7 kids of my own and 5 grandkids)lol but I would be able to offer an ear and suggestions to help your child. We have been struggling with out 18 year old since she was 12 with similar issues. I am unsure how to get in contact with you, possibly request to join my blog and contact me there? https://jskozlosk1.livejournal.com/5007.html . Let me know who you are because it is a verrrry private blog with like two users haha.
Hey you guys, its Easter here again. I posted an incorrect link before. For some reason, it never actually loaded onto my wishlist. Here is the one for the kids and their needs. Bless everything you’ve done and if you’re already ran out of money, no worries. We are all still pals. No matter what!
http://a.co/ihsyOJ3
And in case you missed it the first time, here’s our story. Now here is the big old mess our life has turned out to be.
My family and i lost our eldest son about six months ago. Due to outside circumstances , we have had to move hurriedly almost monthly with just the clothes on our back. And its not like you see on tv, the government doesn’t swoop in to help or pay for it! We have changed our names so many times, my youngest doesn’t even remember his true name anymore. We have done nothing illegal, just to make sure you know you’re not contributing to anything nefarious. We are just unfortunate victims who can’t catch a break. I’ve got everyone listed with all their wishes. If you’re able to do anything, i would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Hi, I’m Rachel in Georgia (full disclosure I posted in the mud 300s but I think my post was too long and lost in the shuffle). I’m a single mom with three kids (15, 10 & 8) and half of this year was just poop. 🙁 Fiance revealed true colors as an abusive man a few weeks before marriage, so running and starting over at this point in my life was not where I thought I’d be this fall.
However, four months I’m a special education paraprofessional, have a warm and safe apartment, and my children and I will start the new year in a stable environment.
That said, there is just not anything left for Christmas presents. I’m having foot surgery tomorrow and will be non weight bearing for two months, which puts me out on leave until almost January. We lost my father the week before Thanksgiving this year and it felt like the hits just keep on coming. My mother passed on Christmas Eve four years ago so the holidays have taken on some more sadness bundled in to love, thankfulness, praise and sharing.
Some days I look in the mirror and just wonder why? I pray and ask God why. And the answer I keep hearing is you are right where you are supposed to be. Trust me. So, I’m trusting, and I keep getting out of bed every morning. I love with everything I have. I give with everything I can. And I share with everyone I can, as I drive Uber on the side and have spoken with countless people about my story and how it CAN be done. Isn’t easy, and it isn’t over, but we can do this together.
Thank you for any help you share with my children, but most of all any prayers you can share with me and my little family. You’ll never know how thankful I am.

Good morning, I live in Bozeman Montana I am a mother of three children, my oldest is daughter is 21 and goes to college, my son who is 18 and still attending High School lives with me, my youngest is 8 and in third grade. I am only looking for a few gifts for the 18 year old and the eight year old. My youngest has some medical problems and we have to do some traveling to take care of that so my Christmas money to get gifts is being used for medical expenses this year. I’m a single mom living on a single income with a split visitation plan with the father, who does not provide any financial assistance. There’s anything on my list someone would like to purchase to help make our holiday brighter that would be wonderful. Thank you very much and have a Merry Merry Christmas…chilly mom in Montana!
my list has been fulfilled, post 976. Thanks so much. I will send thank yous once it gives me that option.

To everyone who is feeling very cynical right now–
First, that’s why I do most of my volunteering and giving to my local animal shelter. Animals don’t lie. Well, cats probably would lie to you if they could talk but they can’t.
Second, you wanted to buy a gift for someone–well here’s your chance. Trying to figure out who wrote the saddest story? Who is most deserving? Who is a dirty rotten lying SOB and deserves nothing–not even coal? Not worth the energy, IMO. It’s Christmas, just go with it and feel good that you are helping someone out who either needs help because of financial issues or because they will die alone and sad for being the aforementioned SOB. Either way, you made someone’s Christmas a little happier on this one occasion.
Once my office collected canned goods and other food for a local shelter and it was all stolen overnight a week or so before Christmas–which was awful but we knew that anyone who would actually steel cans of Spaghetti-Os was in fact needy on some level. (OK, maybe not family-living-on-the-streets needy, but still.)
So I’d say, don’t stress, just give if you can. Christmas is stressful enough. And my family isn’t always that deserving either, but I love giving them gifts for Christmas. Even when they ask for things that are way over that $35 limit.
Jenny–you shouldn’t stress either. You are so AMAZING for using your blog to do this. There’s a special place in heaven for people like you. One full of truth-telling cats who never interrupt your work and dogs who love to play dress up.
Merry Christmas!
It is amazing and lifts my spirit to see so many people giving. I am patient but I may have messed up somehow not one thing has been purchased for my kiddos. We live in Michigan and 3 of kids need coats. I realize that the Harry Potter game is over the limit by $3 but it is a shared gift with the expansion set for my 2 oldest. the total for both is under $60 please let me know if I should change to something else. If anything the just the coats would be a god send. Many blessings to all.

Hi there. I’m a single Dad of 2 boys, 11 and 13. I could really use some help. I am disabled and we struggle every month. I have reached out and have gotten used clothing and such but wish I could get them something to make their eyes light up Christmas morning. They are my little geniuses and have built desktops over the last few years from the ground up. It would mean the world to me if they could get the desktop sets on my wishlist. I had to put 2 different ones because it wouldn’t let me put the same item twice. I also add a couple pairs of boots which living in the finger lake region in NY is useful and dress shirts which it’s been forever since I could buy for my boys. I appreciate any help possible and even those who take the time to read this. Hope everyone the most wonderful Christmas and holiday season and thank you.
I did update to only prime items. The kids biggest wish is the keyboard mouse set. I had to update my list because the sets seem to have gone up in price so I found ones under the limit. I’m so stressed out this year. I try very hard and it’s not easy to ask but if anyone could help with this special wish for my boys I could let those blues lift away and smile. Thank you.

If there are still elves out there looking for kids to help, I have three – two girls, ages 12 and 16, and one boy, age 14 – and we’re in Arcadia, La.
I made one combined list for the kids and tried to find smaller/cheaper gifts that added up to the $35 limit per child to make it a bit easier for those trying to spread the love around. I did add coats as well, in case anyone’s able to help with that.
http://a.co/izIs92u
Big big thanks to anyone who may be able to help out. My kids are old enough to understand when things are tough and have been so awesome about keeping the focus on the experience and not the gifts, this year, but you know…they’re still kids and I hate that they have to be mature about something like Christmas expectations.
My husband got hurt a couple months back and is still recovering/doing physical therapy before he can get cleared to go back to work, next year. We’re juuuust barely making it right now, but having to do so on about half the income so there’s just been nothing left after the bills and basics, for a while now.
Thanks so much again, for the chance to throw a little Santa magic our kids’ way, and best wishes for a blessed Christmas season, to anyone who’s read this far!

Hi everyone
I got 3 kids ages 12 14 and 17. We live in Illinois. There mom and I split up and they stay with her most days. They will be with me on Christmas Eve and I was hoping to get them a couple small things but life doesn’t work that way all the time. Tonight at work my friend told me about you guys and I was hoping I could get help. I picked out two things for each and they are small things. Thank you in advance.
(Deleted. Please stick to the $35 limit. ~ Jenny)

Original post 787 Thank you. So much
It may be too late to ask for help but it is worth a shot! This year was rough, I suffered a small breakdown a few months ago brought on by losing both of my grandmothers I was very close with. My husbands hours had been cut and I am searching for a better paying job because what I make just isn’t cutting it. Christmas is going to be tight this year and I could use a little help.
What my kids really want for Christmas is a puppy, but we rent and at the moment it is just not something that is possible but my kids do have easier gifts on their wishlists too! My daughter asked for books, harry potter things and funko pops and my son asked for a fingerling, playdoh or playfoam/slime and playsets or board games along with a new jacket since he is outgrowing his. My daughter is in fourth grade and my son is in kindergarten, both of them make top marks and are very helpful at school and at home, they are both very well behaved.
If it is alright I’d like to help my mom out by asking for my two teen siblings as well. My mom and step-dad had to help pay for three funerals this year,and plumbing issues things are tight for them as well. my sister wants books and movies and my brother wants a game and movies. I may have gone about $5 or so over but I tried to keep it as close as possible. We are in Phoenix.

#246 Hello, I am asking for help to complete my 6 children’s Christmas List. My husband has suffered health issues this past year, and I have been struggling working two jobs to support my family and preparing my son for college next year. I have 4 boys and 2 girls. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I was originally comment #135 but somehow when adding the kids ages I took the address off, then ended up lost in the mix.
My sister has 3 bio kids & 4 extra kids she took in to keep them from being split into 4 separate foster homes & adopted separately. . Literally she got a call on a Friday evening, added extra beds to both kids rooms & Monday they were placed in her home. She & her husband said yes with no idea how they would do it, except that they wanted these kids to stay together & be safe. The kids came from a drug addict mom & were abused & neglected. My sister & her husband are struggling and it has taken an emotional toll on their own kids to take in so many extras into their tiny 1600 sq ft home…they have 3 to each bedroom & the 2 year old in their room. They would do anything to give these guys a good Christmas. My Bil was in a wreck & totaled his truck because he fell asleep driving home after trying to work 60 hour weeks.& still help with all the kids .. Thankfully he was ok, but they are really good hardworking people who love everyone & would give you the shirts off their backs. They are in Alabama. C, L & S are boys ages 2,7, & 10 … S, P, M & V are girls ages 4, 6, 8, & 9.

Hello, I’m looking for help getting some books and a sweatshirt and gloves for my son Evan(9). I’m trying to get him to enjoy reading more and the sweatshirt is one of the only things he’s actually asked for this year.

Reposting as I believe I’ve been lost in the thread.
Hello,
I have 5 littles and 3 are adopted. 2 of my children are kinship bothers who share the same mom. My goal was to be able to keep them together after being separated from their other siblings through foster care. My youngest (Jaden,3) has Glibal developmental delay and requires a lot of therapy. Weekly we have 28 hours of therapy including ABA, Feesing, PT and OT. This requires 1 parent to be home full time. I’ve added coats, hats and gloves for each. The coats are important…A few small toys… one as low as $7. My daughter prefers to read so I added a book set for her as she is 16 and doesn’t play with toys. I hope that was ok.
My oldest is 17 and I listed headphones for him Vs a toy.
Thank you for any help. http://a.co/dUmS2vV
Hi– I feel silly because the reason for our need is that we got a huge gift– my parents bought us new kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately replacing our kitchen cabinets ended up requiring a new floor and walls, too, and …there went the whole Christmas budget. So for this year, I guess I’m on the receiving end of this awesome tradition. I’ve got two kids and they’ve both got dang expensive tastes, but I’ve pinpointed a few things that would both go over AWESOMELY AND fall within the limit: http://a.co/4rFMOft Thank you!
Jennifer B – Liz #904 – I was amazed to wake up this morning to find my kids wishes have been granted. Thank you so much! My kids will be told who/where these items came from, so if the one item arrives after Christmas that will still be awesome!
Thank you so much! 3 of my children will wake up to something on Christmas ❤ I have my Asha and Bryce still on my list and 4 things total. If there’s any help…

Holy shit you guys. I am OP #33 and this community is incredible. The only thing left on my list is a pair of boots that were out of stock. This year my kids will learn that as ugly as the world can sometimes there are bright lights and we’ve got to a)look for them by b) be them. We’ll be doing lots of acts of kindness to balance out our cosmic karma. So far the my older ones are planning to shovel sidewalks and walk dogs for those in our neighborhood who might struggle on the ice. Told my neighbor about this and hoping she can get some help too. Thank you again to everyone helping to keep kids warm and happy this year.
I am post #1005.
Thank you to the person who picked out a book for my daughter, she is a big book worm! She always wants to order books from the bookfair at school but the prices are crazy so she will be excited for a new book under the tree.
Christina #1010, Evan’s stuff is on the way! Merry Christmas! -Brian

OH (is there not an edit button), we’re in Pennsylvania.
I was way up at the top, hurried and now I’m updating.

Single mom to a 6 year old boy. Only have a few items on the list. I work 50 hours a week and can barely pay bills to keep the electric on much less other things. We have no tree, but I know he’ll be devistated if I can’t give any gifts from Santa. We are asking for a travel DVD player because we do so much driving with commutes and visiting his dad and his has died. Also an electric blanket because our apartment is so cold no matter what we do with the heat. Thank you in advance if anyone can help.

Good morning! My original post is #443… is there something wrong with my list? I posted yesterday fairly early in the day, there is activity above and below my list, but nothing happening on mine. 🙁
Hi I think we may have been lost in the shuffle. One of the families have been covered. I asked the domestic violent victims I work with one thing their child would love for Christmas. These families are homeless and this would amazing for them. Thank you for getting one of our girls a book 🙂

It autocorrected me- repost, not reshape. I can’t make a single post without typos. Good Lord. Apologies on top of apologies.
Think I got lost in the comments, posting for a 6, 10, and 14 year old in Florida. Six year old has more items on her list because it’s easier to find cheap gifts for littles and $35 stretches farther. The older two understand and would rather receive one or two things they really like. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Some of these posts make me so frustrated. I am someone who asked for help but none of the items on my short list for my two kids have been purchased. I’m not going to say which post I originally was. If someone is not able to help us, I understand. I think it is wonderful that so many people have been helped.
But to see so many people posting their wishlist links over and over again is frustrating. To see people posting to say some of their items were bought but not everything so they’re posting yet again so someone will notice them and buy the rest is frustrating. I suspect that the flood of repeat posts is only contributing to some other people’s requests getting lost in the huge list of comments and unintentionally overlooked. Some of these squeaky wheels are coming across as greedy.

My first post was deleted because a l missed a few steps.
Hello, I am asking for help to complete my 6 children’s Christmas List. My husband has suffered health issues this past year, and I have been struggling working two jobs to support my family and preparing my son for college next year. I have 4 boys and 2 girls. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Original comment #214 and the. #668 after I found out how to share my addresss. Kristy, #696, I see that you took care of not only my kids, but quite a few other children as well. I’m eternally grateful and no one can ever tell me that Santa, miracles, and angels don’t exist. Thank you Kristy and thank you Jenny.
Anonymous #944- Thank You!!
Thank you so much Jenny for fulfilling my list!! I’m so happy! I hope have a very merry Christmas!
I might have gotten lost at 663.
My 23 month old baby (I still think of him as baby as he just started sitting up and only has three sounds – but huge progress)! He was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy but is a warrior who started out fighting at two pounds as a micropremie and hasn’t stopped even though he still needs oxygen at night. If you could meet him, he would have you smiling, I would love to see smiles on the faces of my other two children. They get lost a bit in the shuffle of 23 hours of therapy a week, fourteen specialist doctors, and multiple trips 2.5 hours from home as our local hospital can’t meet his complex medical needs.
My daughter would love a new bed set as she just has things that don’t match and at 13 wants her room to be nice. She is 5’9″ and is growing out of everything including her winter coat. We share mine and make do with sweatshirts, but we live in Easton, PA and it is coooold here! My older 11 year old son has some special needs also and his Occupational Therapist recommended beyblades to help with his fine motor skills.
For Evan I found a toy that he is highly motivated by at Outpatient Physical Therapy. He had a brain bleed at birth and even though his progress is measured in inchstones not milestones he will be a Cerebral Palsy Strong Warrior!

i am so sorry!!!! I work 3rds and was told about this from a lady at work but couldnt get on to do it so i asked my sister to for me. i just got home and saw the stuff she had put on there and i am sorry! i went in and tried to fix the items, when i told her what the kids wanted im pretty sur2e she just clicked the 1st one she saw lol. My short back story is pretty boring honestly. i have 4 kids (1 girl and 3 boys} Maddy is 9, Logan 7. Easton 6 and Eben is 8 months. To say doing this alone is nearly impossible would be an understatement! Their dad left when i found out we were pregnant and has become a total piece of non existent shit of a father. he used to be so good to the older 3 and now hes just a totally different person. i work in a factory as much as i can and luckily have family to help with babysitting. I havent been able to get them anything yet and still plan to try to but i just have to keep my priorities straight and and for us its a house and food. im sorry for the original post and hope there is a little christmAS spirit left!

I’m comment#56 and I wanted to say thank you so much. The comments from Jenny and Jo made me cry. I’m hoping to escape by 2020. Summer. I know it’s a far plan, but as the health visitor told me on the 7th, I’ve got to start reporting him so there is a record beyond them, early help, and the NICU. We have our emergency bags packed, just in case.
I just wanted to make sure I said thank you.

I’m sure this is a typical story, but it’s not my typical life. I’ve never in my life thought I would be here asking for help. I worked at the same job for 19 years when my wife passed. She was only 35 when we lost her. She had an aneurysm and was on life support for 30 days when she passed on the anniversary of my fathers death. I know it’s unbelievable but I’m more than happy to give names to my doubters. She’s been gone for 3 years and 4 months now. Unfortunately my 2 youngest (4 & 7) don’t have any memories of her. My 11 year old does but he’s losing those and it kills me! I have never been in this position and finally had to file bankruptcy to get out from under the water. Now here we are starting over. It’s so hard at the holidays and Im the 1st to admit I’ve gone too far the last couple years trying to over compensate and now my account is negative $177 for the first time in my life. If anyone is left to spread the Christmas joy, we would love to have something for the boys.

Maybe the 3rd time is the charm? Happy holidays! I am asking for help this year to bring a little Christmas joy to my family. My husband usually works full-time and I stay at home with the kids but this year has been a bit of a role reversal. My husband lost his job back in March and has been receiving unemployment and looking for a new job ever since. I have gone back to work but I haven’t been able to find a job that comes close to matching my husband’s income so we have been struggling. On top of the job situation, our car chose last week to die so any savings we had is now funneled into the car. We have four children, Jason, Erin, Chloe, and Hailey, 17, 14, 11, and 5 and live in Ohio. I made a small list for the kids and anything to put under the tree for them would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Much love and joy to you all!

CC, perhaps it’s desperation. People who spend life feeling behind & forgotten & lost in the mix… come here with a tiny bit of hope, then due to people trying to get more than their fair share & putting everyone on alarm – they end up again lost in the mix & forgotten with nothing on their list filled & maybe it is just desperation that causes them to repost. (I am not speaking of those who have received & who want more of their list filled) There are some greedy people I am sure, but there are also really people with complex medical needs & sucky lives & those who actual have multiple children. There are people who try to follow the rules but still mess up because they aren’t as technologically savvy as others or maybe because they are trying to post while they tend to children or whatever. I’m not sure, but I am choosing to see the best in people. As Bob Goff says, love everybody, always. I have scrolled up & filled a few request on lists that seemed forgotten. I would hate for cynicism over the few bad eggs to keep this from being a place of goodness & hope & grace for those who need it. Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks for doing this Jenny & allowing us to be apart of something bigger. Don’t let cynicism over the bad eggs ruin the joy in all of the good in this… stare at James Garfield’s smiling face, raise a toast to you both, & dwell on the good you have done here.

I have been struggling the past 2 months but was lucky enough to have someone to help pay for some things for my daughter for Christmas. Im very appreciative and it just feels so good go to know that i have a few people in my life that can contribute in someways. I have a friend who has no one to run to, no one to ask for help and i hate seeing her depressed over material things. I to make her feel as good as i felt when i received the gifts for my daughter. people helping me has inspired me to help others. PLease help me get her 3 kids the few things they asked for it not only makes the kids happy but would take some stress and depression off of a single mom and make me feel really good knowing that i was able to make her life a little easier. I need to come up with a gift card to walmart $340. Because someone helped me it inspired me to try and help someone else
Happy Holidays to everyone!

I have a son (10) and a daughter (17) and we recently took in our two nieces (12 and 14) after their mother (my husband’s sister) went into rehab. They’ll be with us until at least March of next year and we could use some help with their gifts! We are just outside of Detroit.

Sorry for the multiple posts
Jenny, I know it got bat shit crazy last night, but I do want to empathize how important this to everyone.
I grew up in a single parent home and was in and out of hospitals from 3 months to 13 years. Money was tight but my mom, with help always made sure there were presents under the tree. To this day, I don’t know all the people who helped her out, but every time this event rolls around each December, I pay it back as as much as I can. Like the song goes, we need both our bread and our roses.
I’m going to sign off now, because honestly I’m writing this through tears and need to go to work. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and blessings all round.
Micheal (age 3) Gracie (age 7) , Joey (age 11), Elizabeth (age 14) and Leigh (age 16) located in Virginia. Thank you and I hope everyone has a Blessed and Merry Christmas !

I just realized my link on my last comment wasn’t correct so I’m sharing again with the correct link. I have 16 month old twins (we’re in DFW area of Texas) and struggling this year. I added some of the necessities that we need, rather than toys, which I hope is allowed. I didn’t specify which kid for each one because all items on my list will be used by both, so instead I did my best to stay within the price limit. Thanks to whoever can help. Merry Christmas ❤

Pro tip. To see what’s been purchased off a list, click on the filter & sort button. Multiple lists have been completely fulfilled and those folks are adding more items today.
Desperation can cause us to do things we normally wouldn’t. Please give others a chance.
#762/1050, items for each of your children are on their way. Look for them Dec 18-19. Best of luck, and hoping 2019 brings you peace and joy!
Thank you thank you thank you to whoever cleared out the wish list for my kids. People like you are a true blessing! Thank you Jenny for making this space for people to participate. Hopefully our family will be on more solid ground in the next few years and we will be able to do the gifting.

The less than good news is one of my close friends had heart surgery here recently for a very sudden medical issue that arose (it’s complicated). Fortunately, he came through the surgery, but is looking at a lengthy recovery time out of work afterward. After the surgery, they had trouble removing the breathing tube and somehow in the process nicked a nerve somewhere that affects his voice. Now he had the option to have another minor procedure to try and repair the nerve to get his voice back, but it means more recovery time. As he is the breadwinner for his household, this has obviously taken its toll on the family financially as well as emotionally.
His wife is holding things together the best she can, but with him still recovering, she has to be home most of the time. They have a toddler, Aramis; an 8 year old, Rayden; and they are raising his wife’s much younger sister Nicole (age 16) since her parents died. Aramis is a curious little boy and loves anything brightly colored, especially with wheels. Rayden is in second grade and actually asked for books for Christmas. Because she has that kind of heart and wants to help her family, Nicole said she didn’t want anything, but she loves to draw anime and does not have good drawing/colored pencils. I know I’m a day late, but if anyone is still able to help, this family would really appreciate it. My friend has done things like this for others and just been so kind in the past that it is hard for me to see them in this position. Here is the list I created for them. I labeled each item with the name of the child it is for so anyone browsing or buying can tell. (The books are listed separately because there was no boxed set deal, so it’s four separate paperback books.)
http://a.co/giGXRWN
I am doing what I can to help them out, but for Christmas, I came to realize I could not do it all myself since we are just getting back to where we can do our own family holiday without help. Thank you so very much, and blessings to all who can help, and those who are in need as well.

A few things coming your way, one for each kiddo.
Merry Christmas!
Ashley (#606/714) – I’ve filled most of your list, but Lindsay (#777) posted a comment to you about the Pokemon book for your son, so make sure you check that out! Merry Christmas!
Awwwwww it warms my heart so much to see new Santa’s elves on here today. So many people who posted later in the day were seeming hopeless. Let the JGXM work it’s miraculous powers! 💓
I realize I’m late to the game here so I’m definitely not expecting anything. But first I wanted to say I think this is an amazing thing. And a friend told me about it.
In the past I’ve been able to help other people with holidays which I normally don’t really even like to brag about.
This year has not been a good year though unfortunately.
My husband left me and our divorce was Final about a year ago. And I was recently laid off from my job of teaching on November 2nd. Thankfully I do have another job lined up but don’t start again until January 7th.
I’ll post my list just in case but it’s really no big deal if it doesn’t get fulfilled.
The only thing that’s on there is a bathrobe for each of the boys. I did put their story and the wish list.
But basically I have two special-needs son one is a little more serious than the other. He has autism, sensory integration disorder, and he also has an autoimmune disorder that he’s been battling. He’s had two bone marrow biopsies, two rounds of chemotherapy, and just recently had his spleen removed. We’ve been battling this for four years and then of the treatments help.
Anyway I wish you all the best of holidays. Thank you for what you’re doing.

I’ve been lucky enough to fill a few wishes in the past for the JGXM, but this year has been tough and it’s my turn to ask for help. My kiddo is 4 and is asking for new shoes and a small lego set for Christmas. No prompting from me on either thing, he’s just naturally pragmatic! We’re located in Greenville, SC.

I love you guys so much. Sorry I got snippy last night. I was a little exhausted and overwhelmed and I always panic at how many people won’t be helped. I think next year I’m going to finally accept all the wonderful offers of help that you guys always give. Something automated perhaps, so that the wish lists can be approved first and we can make sure that people include all the info they need and that people aren’t asking for to little or too much. I know it can be complicated and I’m sorry about that. Thanks so much for being so amazing and patient.
I’m going to see if I can find some more cash and maybe drop some more gifts late this afternoon. Love!

You didn’t get lost in shuffle!! 🙂
Gifts for your daughter and son are on the way! All items should arrive between December 13-20. Thank you for asking for help. I know it’s not easy to do. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!! 🙂
I have a 2-yr-old here (daughter of my assistant) who is so poor (they’re living off of SSDI and food stamps & the food shelf) that she has NO TOYS AT ALL. Never has. “plays” with torn pieces of cereal boxes, etc. CAN SOMEONE STILL HELP HER? I’m in the middle of trying to save my store (if you’ve seen me on Twitter you know the sad story), so I can’t buy them a thing and I feel terrible about it. They don’t need much. Anything will help her. She’s not getting the stimulus she needs for proper development. I’m worried about her.
I know the Thing is over. I am heartbroken that I couldn’t get anything in in time but I was at home, at night, when I found out about it. I’m here with Matt now and can get a link to something if anyone is willing to help out. (I also can’t for the life of me figure out the f*cking Wish List thing. HELP!!! I CAN’T FIND THE MENU TO ADD AN ADDRESS ETC. And I used to work in tech!)

Thank you so much for your generosity! I appreciate your kindness towards my girls and me – happy holidays to you!

Good day and thank you for letting us take part in this beautiful miracle. I am a domestic violence survivor in Portland Oregon who never thought this much happiness was possible. 3 years ago I was homeless and alone and now I am remarried with a home, a job, my children, and a beautiful future ahead of us. We have a big bill due in January and have no extra cash for Christmas but we would love for our children to avoid the effects of poverty during the holiday season. We have 4 kids: Z (15 boy), S (11 boy) , P (9 girl), and A (5 girl). We have added a few small gifts for each child and coats for A and Z, S and P have coats already. Thank you for any blessings you are able to send my kids’ way!
Here is our amazon wishlist for all 4 kids:

I have to leave for a while and won’t be near the computer so wanted to post once more just to not get lost in the shuffle. (#1005) Someone did pick up a book for my daughter which I am very thankful for.
It may be too late to ask for help but it is worth a shot! This year was rough, I suffered a small breakdown a few months ago brought on by losing both of my grandmothers I was very close with. My husbands hours had been cut and I am searching for a better paying job because what I make just isn’t cutting it. Christmas is going to be tight this year and I could use a little help.
What my kids really want for Christmas is a puppy, but we rent and at the moment it is just not something that is possible but my kids do have easier gifts on their wishlists too! My daughter asked for books, harry potter things and funko pops and my son asked for a fingerling, playdoh or playfoam/slime and playsets or board games along with a new jacket since he is outgrowing his. My daughter is in fourth grade and my son is in kindergarten, both of them make top marks and are very helpful at school and at home, they are both very well behaved.
If it is alright I’d like to help my mom out by asking for my two teen siblings as well. My mom and step-dad had to help pay for three funerals this year,and they had plumbing issues so things are tight for them as well. my sister wants books and movies and my brother wants a game and movies. I may have gone about $5 or so over but I tried to keep it as close as possible, I can remove anything if needed. We are in Phoenix.

@Jenny, m’dear, I know this is stressful for you. But I look forward to this day every year. You’re giving us all a wonderful gift…we get to play Santa and help others! So take the help that other people offer, please…we appreciate you! 🙂
My story is like others. It’s been a hard year for us. Betweeen having to get a new vehicle Because one broke down, to my husband losing his job and our only income. I went back to work after not working for 10 years (day care just wouldn’t work when it came to cost and then when they were in school o was taking care of my husbands grandmother who has now passed) and it hasn’t been easy at all. My husband found a new job and then our heater broke and all our Christmas savings went towards getting it fixed. Heat is better then anything at this point. New York gets really cold.
I talked to my kids and they understand as much as a 6 Hailey and 8 year old Maddie can. So any help this holiday season is very greatful. My main priority is food on the table and getting bills caught up. I know that many can understand that.
So again. Thank you for any help. This isn’t a sob story by any means because I know that there are so many more worse off then me. I am just greatful for any help.
These are some ideas that the girls have given over the last month.

We’re a low income family of 4. My boyfriend, 2 kids and my myself. I would love to be able to give my kids something this Christmas from Santa. They have been very good lately, especially recently because it’s so close to Christmas and they know Santa would be here soon. Anyways, I would love to have a few gifts from Santa under the the tree for them. I really love to see them smile. They are great kids, they deserve a happy Christmas. I also added coats because they really need them. They need winter clothes in general, but I will not add them unless I get the okay to do so. Thank you for the oppurtunity to let me post this
(Link doesn’t work. ~ Jenny)
This year I have a huge list it seems, I have made a wishlist for my 7 littles, plus my 3 nieces and 1 nephew who are staying with us since losing their mom. I am not at all expecting that everything will be purchased, but I had already talked to my kids about not being able to purchase gifts this year, and I missed sign ups for other local charities. Now having these extra 4 kiddos that are amazing humans, I decided we definitely need the help.
I have included socks/coats for a few that need that stuff this year, as well. If I have miscalculated anything please let me know, I know a few things were on sale so if the prices change I can take them off the list.
Thank you so much for sponsoring such an amazing community effort to make some kids smile on Christmas 🙂

A.Marie #482 I sent the boys some gifts.
Jenny, thank you for doing this. I remember once I was having the most horrific day, it was in the height of my abusive relationship and every morning I would wake up not knowing which personality I was getting from my partner that day. And it was one of the bad days, and someone posted the Beyonce post to Facebook, and I felt like I was reading my own writing, our voices were one, and I had not laughed that hard in weeks or months, and I have been reading you ever since. You are a beautiful soul and I Am just so happy that people have the opportunity to get help through your celebrity. Thank you for using your pedestal for good, it is well-deserved!
I also wanted to add here that we would happily accept used gifts that someone could not make use of anymore. Our children understand the value of reusing and passing on! They are 15 boy, 11 boy, 9 girl, 5 girl and we live in Portland Oregon. You can tweet me at the link below, assuming I am young at heart enough to figure that out. Their interests are “typical” of kids their age except the 11 year old is a slower reader and very small for his age.

Hi! I’m original post 1064 “Anonymous”
Lisa thank you thank you thank you! The boys will appreciate you:)
Lisa (1092), you are an angel! I am so very grateful, and there is no blessing I could wish you that would be enough. There is going to be a very happy household on Christmas morning. Many hugs.
Dear heart Jenny…people like us should not be overwhelmed. You are GREAT And AWESOME and LOVING and SOOO KIND.
Take a break and hug your family.
Kristy (1089) thank you so much for your generosity. I’ve been sick and laid down for a nap after my #1031 post and when I woke up I discovered my whole list had been purchased. I know the kids will love the items and I’m grateful for you making that possible. I can’t wait to hear the little one making his version of music. I really can’t wait to watch my older one spend time helping him play music. She’s been asking if we could get him something musical for Christmas— her idea. She’s so good with him and I love watching them together.
I’m sorry if I sounded impatient, cynical or unsympathetic in my #1031 post. I understand the desperation some people feel. I really, really do. But it just feels like some (few) people have lost sight of their manners or graciousness. Watching that unfold makes me feel a little bit guiltier about having asked for help. I’m trying to reframe it in my mind and not let the few ruin the spirit of this event. I am so grateful not only for the help given to me but for all the people who are receiving help here.
Thanks again for your generosity.

Post 756 –
Didn’t realize I needed to put my location – I am in West Lafayette, Indiana
I posted really late last night when I got off work, wanted to try again in case anyone can help my kiddos out this year.
Merry Christmas everyone!
http://a.co/ie68cm6
Hope I did this right and its not too late. A friend of mine told me about this last night and I’m blown away that you are doing this to help families for Christmas. We are still struggling to get on track after hurricane Michael and I love, love, love the Christmas season. This year I’m feeling very low and stressed about Christmas morning.
Like a lot of these families I see in the comments I’m also a single mom, of four awesome boys. Hoping someday I’m able to help families in the future.
So instead of coats, since we live in Florida, I added socks for the older boys. Not sure if that’s ok but Lord knows these kids go through some socks! Let me know and I will update the list.
Thank you for whatever you can help with and Merry Christmas!

Originally post 587, forgot important information and posted at 592, and didn’t think there would be comments in between so I put both posts together on 652 right before there was the post about long lists. I know our list is long because I have 6 children, I wasn’t very specific about their medical needs or the nature of their disabilities because I didn’t think i needed to specify any of that, but to validate the number of children I have and their medical needs, here’s a link to my Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/MusicEqualsLifeAndLove . I’m sorry there are people who are being dishonest and this is the only way I can think to prove that I am not, also it’s so nice to see so many other mommas with kiddos with medical needs similar to my boys and feel free to add me because medical mom friends are so hard to come by!
Merry Christmas.
It seems everything got crazy, but I’ll post my list for my daughters in case someone is still looking to help someone this year. I just put 3 items per girl on the list totally the $35 each and the oldest needs a coat she lost hers at school and we can’t find it. The girls and I would be so blessed and humbled by any help this year. Anyways I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Those friends helped me and my brother through a very rough time and then became supporters in my cat rescue efforts. They became – and are – a big part of my village. I get to save lives because of them – which means I get to save lives because of YOU, Jenny, and this annual post.
So this is me saying thank you – from me and all my rescue kitties, past, present, and future. Thank you for helping me make a difference. Thank you for helping me save them.
I am not asking for any help this year. My grandkids are covered and my brother is a few decades over the age limit. But I want to thank you for doing this again because there are so many in need. I love scrolling through and seeing the words “Your wishlist has been filled!” over and over again. Jenny, you rock!!

My co=worker heard about this and shared it with me this morning. I am on my lunch break so time is short, I have 4 terrific kids who have been through hell and back in the last year. My soon to be ex husband was a recovering addict for most of our relationship. Well he fell off the wagon last year. He jumped in the deep end (atleast that’s where he was when I figured it out. I confronted him after I discovered he had taken our youngest 2 to Meet his friend at the gas station in a sketchy part of town. He flipped out and pulled a gun on me in front of our kids. He is currently awaiting sentencing and I am starting over. I moved from our home as he had stopped making the payments and it was in foreclosure unbeknownst to me.
We are currently staying with a friend but that is temporary. Once the divorce is final we are moving back to my home state of Arizona.
I have made my kids a small list of travel friendly games and some neck pillows for the long drive to come.
All of the gifts including the pillows are less than 35 per kid.
Merry Christmas

Sorry I forgot to put where I live in my post #910. We live in Oklahoma.
Hello! I have 5 kids. Taylor (16), Chloe (8), Jaxon (10), Jake (13), and Gage (7). Gage has an undiagnosed disorder and is wheelchair bound and requires complete care. It’s been a really tough year. I usually plan throughout the year for Christmas by trying to buy things on clearance and putting them back for the kids. My anxiety and depression has made this very difficult this year and I am now facing not being able to do more than just shoes for the kids for Christmas. They are awesome kids and do their beat to help me. They deserve something fun under the tree. Anything you can do to help will be so appreciated.

We have a 6 year old boy and 14 year old girl in need of some help this year. I put together some things they both would like. My boy loves science and learning. My 14 year old just wants to be a normal teenager but we just don’t have the extra for all the fun stuff. She loves to sing, act, draw and wear makeup. We are in Florida.

3rd Times the charm…
We are from Lansing MI. My sister lost her job this year and is struggling to raise 3 kids on her own. I picked out a few books and a game for them. The girls love to journal and draw and Nova(my nephew) loves to play board games. He just started a new job….so I added the “You are a bad ass” money book for him 😉
Thank you for considering out list. <3 And a big thanks to Jenny for all you do!!

Ok, messed up my post #1104, we are in the US.
Adam is 16, Sophie is 13, Xander is 11, Jack is 10 (birthday is the 22nd), Max is 5, Violet is 3, Theo is 6 months, Cordelia is 3, Louise is 2, Hannah is 10, Oliver is 9.
They love games, we don’t have many games and they keep trying to find things to do together, so my list is full of games, and some books. My boys like playing magic the card game, but they don’t have enough cards to get everyone a deck to play. A few of these kids are autistic and a couple have tourettes..but all of these guys would appreciate anything they receive.
Thanks again for considering my huge list of littles this year!

Good Morning everyone I’m post (725) and my girls could really use the help if there are still any angels out there. We found out up about this pretty late last night. Thank You again and I hope everyone has a good holiday with their family.
@Lisa #79, #390 & #985
You are over the limit, that’s probably why nothing’s been bought from your later list. But someone replied that they’d bought things from the list at #79 before it was deleted (you are all the same person, right?), so something’s on the way. It’s great that you want to help this mom, just letting you know that following the rules increases the chances. 🙂
Ho Ho Ho!!! Merry Christmas Joe and Harriet!!!! (post # 1097). Couldn’t help but fulfill all of the items on your lists. Please share your beautiful art with your friends and family Harriet!!! Joe – I hope you enjoy your books!! Ho Ho Ho!!!! Merry Christmas!!
Gonna post this one more time before I go to work. My list was fulfilled, and I made a list for my friend’s kids. I know they are older (12 and 13) but they are only asking for an article of clothing for school and a book, and I know it would help their parents out a lot this year. Original post 886.

In any event, I realized also I did not say the location – it is Central New York.
Here is the list – if anyone see’s an obvious reason there is something wrong with it, please let me know. It is for a young Mom and her twin girls. The babies won’t need coats, so I have put clothing items and bassinet sheets in their place, and one gift of Aveeno products both Mom and the girls will be able to use.
I will not post again, I just am very confused that possibly I did something incorrectly and that is why the list has been bypassed.
I’m so very happy some of you are receiving help from the kindness of strangers in this group. Merry Christmas to all.

(I suspect it’s because you are so far over the limit on each child and people skip those list. Looks like one person sent you something though. Regarding the emails I think it’s because some people used an amazon invite link for their list so Amazon thinks you were invited to collaborate if you click on the list. I had to unsubscribe from a bunch because of the emails. Crazy. ~ Jenny)

There are multiple posts with links that lead to wish lists that have the name James Garfield in the wish list heading. Are these wishes for multiple families that were made by one person?
I have been struggling with some really bad depression and our finances have really been strained. I hope it’s ok that I chose 2 different things for each boy. I thought perhaps people would appreciate having a choice (I certainly do not expect all of the items to be donated!).
Thank you for the blessings you give!

Ok! I’m filling wishes this morning here and I was confused and thought I was doing something wrong to keep seeing the same thing LOL.
(Original comment #684) THANK YOU to whoever purchased the “My Hero Academia” book for my daughter! She is going to be thrilled! She doesn’t like to read much, so when she says there’s a book, or book series she wants, we do everything we can to get it for her. The only thing left on her list is a Winter coat. We live in Arizona, but Ro’s diseases leave her without the ability to regulate her own body temperature. That’s why a coat that looks like it should be for someone who lives up in the frozen tundra is necessary. She’s always got at least 3 blankets on her in bed, even with the fan on or during our brutal summers. It defies logic, but it’s her reality. 🙁 She got a new coat last Christmas, but her medications made her suddenly gain 25lbs, and she outgrew the jacket.
Here is her list again, because searching through well over a thousand comments to find it is a lot of work:

Jenny, I would have gotten snippy, too, if I was dealing with this massive thing you created all by myself! We all love you. We are your Tribe. You inspire us, give us hope, make us laugh hysterically, and use that beautiful brokenness of yours to help those of us who are struggling and hating the world to see there really are angels among us, despite what we usually experience in the world! I want to be like you when I grow up! You’re an amazing human and make everyone who meets you — virtually or in person — better. <3
PS: I’m glad you’re accepting help for next year’s Miracle. This will lessen your load by a lot! Might I suggest that between now and then you get threaded comments on your blog? That will make letting the people asking for help know about any issues or that their wish lists have been filled, etc., much easier and more compact. 🙂
Sara from 1149 – There are a couple items on their way. Merry Christmas!
Annie #1145 – yes, same person. When Jenny said she deleted #79’s request and to resubmit I deleted the list and made the new one (which is untouched). I was not aware anything was purchased off of it (how will I know who to thank)? The new list is for 3 people (Mom, Baby 1 and Baby 2) and totals roughly $158.72 (less the $105 “toy” allowance @ $35.00 per person puts the list at $53.72 over). Since the babies required basic needs and not coats I took the liberty of choosing a few other needs off of Mom’s untouched registry. Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways. I apologize. I’ve seen many people receiving far more and was not trying to take advantage by any means. I, in fact, have bought for others last year. Just trying to help a young girl in a difficult situation. I can only do so much for her as I have kids/grands of my own.

The comments here are very much what my soul needed this morning.
The old monster sat on my chest late last night and depression stole my morning.
I just managed to sit up in bed. I know things could be worse, but it doesn’t feel that way, you know?
Seeing kind humans talking to one another and just giving a shit makes the world some place I want to BE in.
I was originally comment #442 (that seems to be the etiquette, to let people know)
I have 3 kids and we live in TX. 10yo boy who still believes, a 14yo son, and a 17yo daughter.
They’ve gotten so good at pulling me back out but it’s hard lately.
Anyway, thank you, again Jenny for your daily reminder that I’m not alone and that all the crap that happens in our lives… well, we can choose to view it through a lens of humor and grace.

Hi Nicole – Post 1147. I couldn’t get everything, but I remember being 13 and wanting so badly to have “the” pair of jeans. I needed to get those for her. Hopefully someone else can come through with the rest.
2 questions #1 would anyone know why a price on something would keep going up? I had 2 fortnite hoodies for my sons (I have pictures of both) they’re almost identical, and they were $15 when I added them to my list and now 1 is up to almost$19!?! Question #2 I had 2 items that’s were purchased twice. I’m thinking 2 people were on at the exact same time. Anyway, is there any way to find and or contact the person who bought the 2nd one? I would hate for someone else to miss out because of me. If anyone wants to see what the heck I did to get this price raising please let me know! http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2YLKN424YT4VO

Kat, you’re awesome and yup, that’s exactly what it was. That one pair she was obsessed with lol. I just told her mom they’re on the way and she started crying. She is gonna be sooooo psyched 💓
Chelsea Z. I picked up the rest of the items in your list! Serine23 beat me to the game😊. Here’s hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas. We Z names have to stick together ’cause everyone else always gets to go first.
Just wanted to add for anyone who’s list hasn’t been filled yet, don’t get discouraged! I checked the blog yesterday morning and the whole thing hadn’t even started yet! By the time I came back today there were over a thousand comments. Give Jenny’s faithful tribe a chance to get here! Many of us wait for this all year long. Thanks for all you do Jenny.
#316 – Name on Amazon was Heather J….
I couldn’t order the 2 shirts you had on the list. One didn’t have a size – the other said “This item can’t be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address.” No idea why. ???
I hope you see this. If you do – write a reply with “#316”. If you can add different shirts – or items – I will complete your order.
Adilene – Comment 1165 – Wishes granted! Things are on their way! Have a Merry Christmas!

Starcatbooks post 1135. There is a gift on its way. Delivery date says the 17th if Dec. Took the liberty of having it sent gift wrapped.
Hi there. I am Lenny from post 676/998. I so want to thank the generous soul who purchased the two dress shirts for my children. It means so much and brings tears of joy to my eyes. I only have 2 other items on my list for my boys which would be there “big” gift to find under the tree. They built there own desktops from the ground up over the last couple years as I have helped when possible. I have never been able to get them a proper gaming mouse or keyboard. Only used types and never anything exciting and good for their games. If anyone would be able to fulfill these 2 gifts it would be the highlight of my boys Christmas morning. You are all amazing and I thank you for your selfless generosity. Merry Christmas.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3N0EC1GNWE2RP
Single mama of 3 very hyper & exciting boys! We don’t have a tree because I couldn’t afford it this year, so the Christmas spirit wasn’t there. I did buy some lights and made a wall tree while the boys were gone and they came back so happy! We used the ornament from last year.
Quick background: Husband had an affair with two different women. Divorce isn’t final yet, but he’s completely out the picture. He sadly chose the other women over us.
Thank you for any help: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/ED7RB3U1HQ5B
Hi everyone. I hope it’s not too late to get some help for my 3 kids. I know people say not to feel guilty about needing help, and I’m trying, really. It’s just that I really thought I would be the one on here making people’s wish(lists)-es come true, instead of resigning to the fact that this could very well be our last holiday in our house.(foreclosure has started) Money became so bad this year, I didn’t even know it could get worse, and now I feel the depression and anxiety of letting the kids down, like, all the time. They are really good kids, and don’t really get upset when I say “no” all the time to toys, or give them a heartfelt, “sorry, maybe someday”… it’s just hard,. Anyway, I told them to help me make a wishlist, and explained that it is just that…wishes… and I told them to keep it under $35 each…
I just want to say that the three of them made the list together, and while it may not look like it is “even”…that they are satisfied and that the total is $104. They kept rechecking it with the calculator, and asked if it was OK if the TOTAL was under $105. I said I didn’t know, but if that’s what they all really wanted, I would put it out there. They were so cute, and working together without fighting once, so there’s that. lol
Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. Please help with their “wishes” if you can. I will surely be grateful, and I WILL be back here someday making other kids’ wishes come true. I promise. Love to all.

Hi! I have fixed my list so it has a shipping address attached to it. There are so many comments so I think it may be hard to find. I am a single mom of four children. I have three daughters ages 15, 13, and 9. I have one son age 11. We all are living with some degree of PTSD because of the situation we escaped from and the vengeful aftermath from us leaving. It took many many years of counseling and treatment to get where we are now. Any help would be appreciated as the attorney fees to protect them were astronomical.

#748 / #749 Thank you so much to the kind person/s that bought the 3 jackets off the list. Those were the ones I was most worried about but ended up being the first 3 things bought. Last week was the first week of the winter where the temperature “felt like below 0” so these will be amazing (live in Maine). I skimmed through the couple hundred messages looking to see if someone said they bought them but couldn’t find it. I did find someone in the comments saying you can send a thank you message to an anonymous gift buyer though but I’m not sure exactly how to do that? If someone could explain that would be appreciated.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/12802QNWJ0G0K
My sister shared a link on facebook for this so i thought I might give it a shot.
There are 7 kids under 18 in my house. I would like to get them all a little something. I put together a list for them with the help of my son in law.
Megan- 16- Mommy of Malik and Zaden. She’s a young mommy, but more responsible now. She has 1.5 years if school left, just got a job (starts Friday), and takes care of her own. She’s not picky and put her kids before anyone and anything.
Randell- 17- Daddy of Malik, and Zaden. His mother kicked him out when she found out Megan was pregnant with twins. I couldn’t see him homeless, so I had to do something. Since he’s been with us, he has turned into a true gentleman. He’s a gamer but he puts nothing before them babies. He’s getting his GED soon.
Ariana- 12- This is my last baby girl. She’s my baby. Don’t know what I would do without her. She helps her big sister, Randell and me with all th younger ones.. She’s artistic, and wants to go to art school in the future. Told her she can do anything she puts her mind to.
David-5- This boy here is my adventerous baby. He loves playong outside and getring dirty. Doesn’t like going to school so much though. He loves him some hot wheels.
Malik & Zaden-3- Grandbabies- Loves Paw Patrol and their Gigi. They like to share (sometimes) but they have their moments. The love to read books (well have someone read to them)
Rj-2 My last baby. He’s had a lot of problems sincw birth . He was born premature, he still very small for his age, and still not eating solid food. We just got to the point to see a neurologist and a few other specialist to see whats all going on with him so we can get some answers.
The older two arent wanting anything , they just want the younger ones to enjoy Christmas. But i thought it would be nice to get a few things or just one thing for the each of them. They all deserve it. They’re such great kids. I know a lot of people will overlook my post because there are so many kids, but if you took the time our you read, thank you even if you didn’t purchase anything .
Reposting #693
We don’t have lot of family here. It will be wonderful to have gifts for my kid.6 year old boy,New Jersey! Thank you so much!
Hi all, Im posting for a neighborhood kid that could use some help this Christmas. She is the sweetest child and only 8 years old. Her mom does her best, but it isn’t always enough and I am on a fixed income.
She needs bigger clothing the most I believe most of her pants are way to short. I tried to find clothing items around $5 unfortunately there wasn’t much on amazon at that price range but I think i found a decent selection for the pricing I was looking for.
I just put one toy on the list, and also a winter coat since hers has a big tear in it…any help would be so very appreciated if anyone can help. If no one can help that is okay I will be hitting up the resale shops when I am able to make it to the city later this month for my doctors appointments.
Merry Christmas and God bless you all.

FOLKS!!!! Have patience! Don’t keep re-posting your list! That’s why it’s getting so frustrating for Jenny – the list does NOT go away when the gifts have been purchased – the person just keeps getting the same gifts while others aren’t getting ANY! For purchasers, use the sort function to see if the gifts have been purchased already.

Terry –
I had purchased the two items that were bought twice. I cancelled mine and passed the gift on to someone else. Thank you for pointing out the issue. I’m keeping an eye on your list though – if the other person also sees the issue and cancels, I’ll go back and send again. (I also sent the shoes for your other son, those should still be coming.)
Okay, I have figured out the whole Amazon collaboration thing. If you post your wish list link using the INVITE link, anyone who clicks on it will be automatically made a collaborator and your wish list will show up on the other person’s group of lists. You need to use the link for SHARING YOUR LIST. DO NOT USE THE INVITE LINK!
You’re welcome. 🙂
Jenny, while I can’t help financially, I’d be happy to help with any kind of system so that you don’t feel so stressed over bringing a miracle to people. I don’t think you got snippy so much as you got protective of the people that are trying to help you perform this miracle. ❤️

I can’t edit my post on 1057 but the kids are a girl(8) and two boys(2.5&6) here in Albuquerque NM, USA. We were able to buy gifts for others last year and it was absolutely amazing. This year we are hoping to get help but if my MegaMillions numbers hit tonight we will definitely be buyers again! 😜🤞🏻
My 2.5 yr old gets hand me downs from the 6 yr old so I put some warm hoodies for the oldest 2 but not the toddler. If you buy for us we would love for you to please send an email or address where we could send a thank you.
God bless 🙏🏻 the angel givers 😇 and Jenny for hosting something so wonderful. I pray you never let the scammers ruin it for the rest. I saw a lot of misuse last year and was careful to check into who we purchased for but oh how wonderful to be an angel. Next year we hope to be in a place to give again!
Merry Christmas and God bless!! 🎄🎄❤️❤️

1206- yes! I figured it out a little late!!
1175 is way over the limits
@Kristy – Thank you so much! The jacket was a big need, my son grew like a weed this year and his jacket is getting to small plus it isn’t really all that warm so it will be nice for him to have a jacket that fits properly. And thank you for picking up gifts for each one as well it is a huge help.
I am allowed to post one last time? I am back about 200 or so comments, not sure how far back people are looking. Not looking to be bought out just hoping maybe the panda for my son would be bought, he has been wanting one of those fingerling things since they first came out.
It may be too late to ask for help but it is worth a shot! This year was rough, I suffered a small breakdown a few months ago brought on by losing both of my grandmothers I was very close with. My husbands hours had been cut and I am searching for a better paying job because what I make just isn’t cutting it. Christmas is going to be tight this year and I could use a little help.
What my kids really want for Christmas is a puppy, but we rent and at the moment it is just not something that is possible but my kids do have easier gifts on their wishlists too! My daughter asked for books, harry potter things and funko pops and my son asked for a fingerling, playdoh or playfoam/slime and playsets or board games along with a new jacket since he is outgrowing his. My daughter is in fourth grade and my son is in kindergarten, both of them make top marks and are very helpful at school and at home, they are both very well behaved.
If it is alright I’d like to help my mom out by asking for my two teen siblings as well. My mom and step-dad had to help pay for three funerals this year,and they had plumbing issues so things are tight for them as well. my sister wants books and movies and my brother wants a game and movies. I may have gone about $5 or so over but I tried to keep it as close as possible, I can remove anything if needed. We are in Phoenix.

Thank you
JLM,
Thank you! And that’s where I had started was on the shoes since they were the most expensive. I clicked it and chose delete thinking it would let me cancel one but it just literally disappeared so I have no idea where they went. I’m sorry if I screwed that up, I was just trying to not be greedy and take when someone else had already ordered them for him. Is there a way to get those back on the list and cancel?
I have 2 kids (ages 7 and 9). My husband lost his job over the summer and while I was able to get Christmas gifts, of course unplanned both kids need new winter coats. We live in the midwest (Olathe, KS) and it’s a must have. I don’t want to return the gifts I’ve already bought but may have to in order to get them new coats. I’d really appreciate any help. I’m just asking for the coats if anyone is able. Thank you so much!

Shout out to the person or persons that bought some of the little girl items! Thank you! I am trying to figure out the Amazon thanks in case you don’t see my comment but you rock.
Merry Happy #724 – your list has been fulfilled! Wishing you the best 2019!
Unfortunately, I found that I had fulfilled another list for someone that posted multiple times with different lists, and as things are purchased is adding more (as only un-purchased items show by default.) I was able to cancel most of it, but at least one item is shipping to this party. It’s unfortunate that some are taking advantage and taking toys and clothes away from children who have a legit need, but I’m not going to let this ruin the event. Enjoy the scooter for your “nephew” Vanessa!

1182, you are an angel. I will tell Matt something’s on his way for his daughter, Summer. For the very first time she’ll have a Christmas!
@Mel #1214, if you look at your list, there should be a link to filter it. Click that and then choose “purchased and unpurchased.” It will show you what has been bought. Under the item, it will show “Quantity: X Has: X.” If there was just one of that item on the list, and it was purchased, it will say “Quantity: 1 Has: 1.” That’s how you know what was bought. 🙂
(Glad the toys and coats are headed your way. I’m deleting your list now since you are over your limit, okay? 🙂 ~ Jenny)
Alyssa. Thank you so much. She will be so happy for her pusheen! And thank you to whichever angel/ angels bought the other items for my kids. You guys are awesome.
you know if the gifts been ordered or not ive never used this amazon wishlist.

You are wonderful.
To others – make sure your wishlist is working and that if somebody has sent you more than 35 dollars per kid that you take your list down.

You made judgement where you are wrong and telling lies about me i made one post yestuday for my 2 boys.
Today i posted for my sisters 3 boys and there was 3 post Cuz i did them wrong and only 1 had a amazon link. This isn’t my first time ever having to ask anyone’s for help and i would neverrrr be Nasty and take from other kids . We picked the cheapest toys nothing over $20. In my list you can still see the 2 items and a jacket i asked for my son and was told that someone fulfilled my list and would be here by the 12th i did my sisters list and i could not see the scooter only the two toys i asked on her and on amazon if the item was no longer available and i needed to replace with something else. Which i got a response from Shan G after you all ready passed judgement. Thank you for making me feel like a shitty person which i a.m. far from Cuz i am one to help and give how ever i can i have removed the toys and will deny the scooter package and you can have it back thank you for ruining the Christmas spirit.
Terry –
Don’t re-add the shoes, because it won’t show that they were purchased, it will look like a new addition to the list. But don’t worry, I checked my account and they should be delivered Thursday. Looks like your whole list was fulfilled except for the sweatshirts – the ones you’ve chosen aren’t Prime eligible, and I think that dissuades some people from purchasing. You may want to delete them and find some that are Prime eligible. Otherwise, there’s nothing else you need to do except have a merry Christmas with your boys 🙂
Thank u to whoever bought each of my kids a gift. I appreciate it very much. I only put two things per kid so I saw my son’s other gift (stickers) weren’t available anymore so I replaced them with a different set but then the original came back. I am still under limit but I didn’t want anyone to think I was doin something wrong.
Thank u for helping this dad give each kid a gift!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to whomever purchased the books and book light for our big Girl! She can read in peace after bedtime without stealing batteries from her sister’s toys or our remotes. 😂 And bless you for also getting the sensory tools and lace pets for our little girl. She loves animals- she’s currently carrying around a very beloved stuffed kitty, and this will give her something to do that can go with us to appointments and hospital visits, and I can’t wait to try the tools with her! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless you, bless you, bless you.

Natalie #559, I just ordered Watch Ya Mouth game for your daughter. That should be delivered on Thursday. The Shop ‘N Learn Smart Cart should be there tomorrow. Merry Christmas. You can all play with the Goliath Greedy Granny Board Game when it arrives, which looks like 12/27 now
Thank you so much for all of your help JLM! I hadn’t realized that it was only specific sizes and colors (of course not my sons) that were prime. I was able to find T-shirt’s that were. Thank you so much for everything! I’ll be here next year to pass on the blessing!
Jenny #56 here again. I’m willing to help with anything you might need help with from here in the UK if you do this again next year. As we are a time difference away, it would be like working the night shift for you. Anything I can do to give back while I have no money to buy presents.
LoriZ and Serine23: Thank you so much! I worked the night shift last night and after too few hours of sleep I was up to take my daughter to the dentist, so I’m overly emotional but you guys made our Christmas! Happy Holidays!
Hi Vanessa #1228 –
I’m not sure if you really messed up by posting multiple times and adding multiple items to one list within seconds of purchase and having multiple lists; or if you are upset you got caught . If the former, I’m sorry that you had problems. The instructions were pretty clear. Without knowing each other, the lists were just too dodgy to consider them legit. If you choose to participate another time because you have legitimate need, it’s always best to follow the instructions carefully. Happy Holidays.
Hi I am using my friends computer and she told me about this site. I am hoping there is an angel out there that can help my kids this year. I have listed 1 gift each on the list they want. Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas!

I am original post #107, with the Wishlist for Latino immigrants/refugees at Juntos. I just read all 1,211 comments. Holy cow. I am hesitant to post another comment because I don’t want to contribute to burying any legitimate first-time posters. But, I really want to say Thank You to those who purchased items off of my Wishlist. I want nothing more than for Latino immigrants to feel safe and loved and looked out for here in the US, and especially in my city. Knowing that they will be able to open new, warm clothes and new toys/games/books on Christmas morning makes me feel less bleak about what’s happening at the border and with immigrants in general in our country. Because my Wishlist is so long (for so many kids), I would really prefer that it not take away from any other legitimate posters here. Thank you to those who contributed and Thank you Jenny, for spreading the love around for so many years in a row. xo

Please show me where you see multiple post with multiple list. This is my first year ever doing this I saw a post on fb and followed all the rules I just for got to add the link twice that’s why I reposted cuz you can’t undo a mistake. I have never need help for my family till this year and now I see why people are afraid to ask for help you get judge very fast for mistakes and are accused of things that are lies. I see multiple people on here making mistakes and no one has made judgement on them maybe next time try asking questions insteard of jumping to conclusions. We are all human sorry I am not prefect like you. And thank you for showing me that there are still nasty people out there.
Bradford, VT. 2-yr-old with no toys to speak of & Matt is disabled and has a medical cat (for seizures) named Gabby who could use a winter coat (yes, they make them for cats) because he walks two long blocks in single digit temps to get to the bookstore to be my assistant for horrible wages (because I can’t afford him…). If you see a winter coat (insulated) on Amz and see it in your heart to include it with the wand, Matt & Gabby would be very grateful. Matt won’t ask for himself.

Is it normal to start feeling nervous when your post gets buried up in the the 500s somewhere?
Original #1194
You know the one with 7 kids at the house? Lol.
I kind of shortened the list of gifts for my kids. I cut it down to one thing each except my 2 year old . And the reason for that is i added gift cards for subway for their stocking because it’s the family’s favorite restaurant and the can have it whenever they want it. I really hope someone helps this Mama and Gigi out thks Christmas. Thanks!
🌲🌲🌲So upsetting to see MULITPLE posts. I am post 531 and if everyone would follow directions there wouldn’t be so much confusion. Some have taken advantage.
Our family 3 kids, aged 3, 12 and a special needs 13 year old who still believes in santa are just down in our luck. Since August started my husband has not received a full paycheck due to various reasons, mostly due to our son and his frequent hospitalizations and since I an his main caretaker, I hurt my back lifting him causing even more problems for us. My kids won’t have much a Christmas without help this year. We are in Kannapolis NC. Having never been in this predicament, we didn’t know sign ups for programs are early before even Halloween here. Hoping for some angels.

I agree Jennifer, I was 658 but took my list down. I did not receive any gifts, but was not going to repost multiple times to do so. I posted once, waited to see, and now I am ready to stop checking. Happy holidays to all, I hope that your littles have a very merry Christmas 🎁
Alyssa thank you SO much! The girls are going to love their presents ♥♥ So grateful that there will be something under the tree for my babies.
Not sure why the one says it wouldn’t ship, I will assume because I have to use a PO Box….small towns in rural Nebraska that are lucky enough to have a post office located in the town don’t actually get mail delivery just a free PO Box unless more than a mile from the post office. It is silly, but its better than them closing them all like they have been trying to do for years. Most of em are lucky to be able to even open for 2-4 hours per day in the smaller communities.
No worries tho! They both have 2 gifts and hats/glove coming it looks like (Thank you to the anonymous gifter as well ♥ or perhaps I missed your post.)
If anyone can help with winter coats left on the list that would be AMAZING! http://a.co/4MpRR9H
Have a blessed Christmas everyone, thank you Jenny for hosting this on your website ♥
Don’t refugees get over 3k in cash to start their lives, food, etc? My best friend was a refugee and got over 3k in cash, food, medical care and education benefits. Are they not doing that anymore
I hate to say it, but I never really made anything out of myself and haven’t really been able to give much to my kids, but they’re the best ones I coulda ever asked for. They are so polite and well mannered and everyone notices. You’d never know they ain’t got two nickels to rub together. They’re all going to be successful and have families they can support, not like me. They deserve the best Christmas of them all. Here is the list. God bless you every one. http://a.co/5FsPSFk

I have two boys and two girls. 10, 13 14 and 16. Thank you so very much. We live in tustin, Michigan.
This is a repost. I think my post got lost. Thank you so very much.
I’m really sorry to post this. I was originally post number 368. The very kind hearted Mon fulfilled the toy wish for my son, and I am beyond grateful. If anyone could help with the jacket it would make Christmas complete. D, my son, has had quite the enormous growth spurt, and could desperately use this for winter. I know there are so many out there that need help, and I completely understand if this doesn’t happen. The fact my bean (nickname) will have a wonderful nerf present to open is beyond what I could have hoped for. We’re in Hampshire, UK.

Three of my boys are a little older, they’ve been through a lot, they don’t have much and have been helping with everything. I mean they are truly amazing. The only thing they wanted is for their little brother to have gifts under the tree, true story. My gift is witnessing their beautiful hearts, also true story. As the MOM I also know even though the little one is a brat a lot – he will be very suspicious and feel sort of guilty if they don’t have any. Double beautiful. It all says they deserve it and I missed the registration for every program in Tallahassee (they start in October – we had a hurricane.) Then Christmas comes out of nowhere and it’s like, too late. This is last chance for anything and we got one.
Everyone one of us who’s struggling is probably for different reasons but for us it’s all the same…. OMG IT’S CHRISTMAS!! Mayday! Mayday! We are going down!
Before you know it it’s over. You all DID survive, it WAS wonderful, and next year is an opportunity to do better than the year before.
Thank you to everyone who is helping all of these families. It brings so much joy to my heart and restores my faith. Merry Christmas for real. 🙂
@Sabrina #1250, please repost your list! There’s still time to get help!
#1217 your gifts are on the way!
Michelle – #859 – Can you add a link for the blankets you requested?
Hi, I hope it is okay to repost the girls list. I am originally from 930 and they have each received a small gift and I am very grateful. I was just hoping I could at least get them 2 gifts each that would be so awesome. I know money may be tight now with this going on for a while though so I understand if that is not possible.
Here is their list though if anyone can help. Thanks for being so awesome and taking the time to read this.

Bethany #1262 – gotcha. 🙂
I am hoping I’m not too late. My children are a 13 year old boy and a 6 yr old girl, we are in glenoma WA. me and their dad split up Earlier this year and it’s been a struggle, especially with my 13 year old trying to come to terms with it. He didn’t really ask for much other than what’s on his list and a beanie to listen to music. My 6yr old ripped her favorite pair of rain boots she wears non stop and I put those on instead of a jacket because her grandma just bought her one, she wears these boots constantly with liners to keep her feet warm. I think the old ones were just overused and the rubber cracked finally. If no one can help that’s OK but I wanted to at least try for them, thank you for reading.

Do you guys know how amazing you are? You really are! I was going to switch an item out for a different one and I go to the list and it is empty. I am so grateful I cant put into words. This really is a miracle and your generous hearts have blown me away. Christmas will be so amazing this year because of you. I have not tried to find the post of who gifted them yet and I will but I couldn’t wait to post this. A million thanks to those helping and a million Hope’s of a good Christmas to everyone.

Someone really needed to moderate the list. I’m a glutton for punishment I guess, since I keep doing Booksgiving… hope this helps. These are the UNFULFILLED Lists. I’ve only made it to the 400s, don’t re-post your lists, I’ll just finish and keep updating this evening. I have to run my son to a therapy appointment, so I’ll try to finish when I get back. If you fill a list can you just make a post that says: post ___ is filled, or empty now, so that I can delete it. I think seeing this many lists that need love should also bring attention to being modest in requests so that more people can be helped. Keep up the good work everyone!

I feel enormously guilty reposting but I am afraid my post was lost wayyyy up there and my anxiety of not being able to give the children gifts is really getting to me. Four children in arizona. I (pinky) swear that I will not post again, not even on friday to ask for shoes or socks or even the bulk toilet paper – yes seriously- thats on another need list 🙂
I just wanted to give it one more shot.

@Vanessa #1228, please don’t stop asking for help! Breathe. You’re okay. I know it’s stressful. I know you’re worried and freak7ng out, but don’t! Some people don’t get it. Most of the people fulfilling wish lists ARE NOT going to trudge through over a thousand comments to find the ones that got lost in the shuffle. With no threaded comments or a central place for everyone’s lists, it’s hard to keep track.
Don’t let this ruin Christmas for your kids or nephews! Adults who have issues with each other should not let it affect the children! NO ONE should be fighting or slinging insults over toys and winter clothes for CHILDREN.
PLEASE REPOST YOUR LISTS, in one comment. Make sure you’ve followed all the rules, too. Then imagine your family’s faces when they open their gifts Christmas morning! Let that erase all the bad feelings. It’s about the kids, not adults.
THINGS WILL GET LOST ON THIS POST. It’s inevitable with the amount of comments and no reply or edit feature! And scared, desperate parents are going to do everythingthey can to try and give their babies some kind if Christmas or get them warm coats when they already feel like shit for not being able to provide these things themselves. I GET IT. I wish more people understood this!
LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE PRIBLEMS WITH TECHNOLOGY!! It’s worse when they’re desperate, scared, or generally freaked out. Give them a break!
THANK YOU to all who are giving from their hearts to help their brothers and sisters in need! You’re all beautiful souls.
NOW EVERYBODY, BE NICE! DON’T SCAM. DON’T GIVE JENNY ANY MORE STRESS! IT’S CHRISTMAS! Helping people is good for you, even if you think they might not be totally legit. SPREAD THE LOVE ANYWAY!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Man, I see so many people acting like they are going to give up because their list hasn’t been bought yet, or thinking this is just a 1 day occurrence or something. Yes, sometimes we get worried we got lost in the mix and repost, but, from my past experience, it all works out and pretty much everyone gets help. this is only the second day the blog has been up. Please don’t let your pride take away from what your kids could get out of this. This is supposed to be a place of hope and happiness and kindness, not negativity and pissed off people.
Merry Xmas, y’all.
If it’s okay, I’m reposting my daughter and her cousin’s list because I think it got lost in all the discussion:

Thank you.
Sabrina i see you are trying again and best wishes. i think mines being overlooked (1265 & 879)because i included a bean bag chair instead of coats because we were homeless recently and yet to get any furniture so i thought it be a good idea for family time they had a seat:/ but had no idea the price was going to go up 10$ but i just didnt want to change it after making it so it shows orginal on all posts:/ God bless all.
Thank you for your comment Shan G! I was hesitant to repost.
Pure Heart from post 827 posting again with hopes that a few items can be purchased if not all.
Just a few items listed for my kids. Rosie is 3, Sandy is 5, and Jacob is 10. Sandy is my niece, but I recently took her in because my sister is hospitalized after a bad car accident. Anything is appreciated. Thank you !

This year started off very good but things began to get complicated in August. Due to very difficult circumstances and without hesitation, my husband and I got guardianship of three children (relatives). It has been very difficult from being a family of four to a family of seven but I would not change it for anything. These kids deserve better. I have included our Christmas list that consists of underwear, hats and gloves and pajamas. I think that at this time, those are the most important for us. Thank you for all that you do Jenny. You are truly an amazing soul.
Thank you all for all that you do.

1275 Kristen Smith you are amazing she likes Harry potter so much and adores steam punk stuff and pocket watches this will make her year. Thank you from me and her she will be delighted and I cant wait to see her open it. I am so grateful for all of you it really is a miracle! I was not expecting anything else and it went from awesome to AMAZING I am so excited I can’t wait for Christmas now to see them open their gifts.
This is for my 4 kids. Ethan, Tanner, Tyson and Evelynn. To who ever buys any of this we all want to thank you so much for really being an angel and helping others. My little girl Evelynn has cerebral palsy on her right side. She didnt start walking til she around 1 and a half years old. She loves playing inside boxes so I thought she would love this tent. Tyson, well he is all over the place. Typical 6 year old lol. Tanner my 11 year old likes wrestling. Every Monday and Tuesday we sit and watch it together. And then my oldest Ethan, well he like video games and electronic things. That is just a little bit about them. Again thank you and God bless you. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy new year! I think I did this right?

a few items listed for my two boys aged 8 and 10. im struggling w recent chrons diagnosis over the summer, PTSD, broken ankle and housing crisis eviction this summer put my rent up to $1800 a month! i make around that total income and am self employed so no medical insurance (im canadian but no extra coverage). i opted out of christmas this year but someone told me about this and that i should post. included my instagram link in website if you want to follow along w my journey
http://a.co/bs0jB6N
Rachel #335, one book should arrive on the 13th, 3 other items on the 14th, and one more on the 18th. I hope you and your kids have a good holiday, that your foot surgery goes smoothly and that things continue to get better in the new year!
Ok, well first off thank you. Even if my family’s list gets passed by that’s okay because you are making so many families Christmas lighter. I hope someday Christmas seems less like a burden and more of an opportunity to love on people. I feel like I’ve been losing that the last few years.
I have three boys ages 5, 8, and 10 in Hayden, ID. Two of them have autism which means we’ve had unexpected expenses come up purchasing specialist adaptive clothing for them. The nice thing this is a magical time of year for them regardless of what is under the tree!

Hello, I was just made aware of this amazing blog. If there is anyone left who would be willing to share some Christmas joy with my family we would really appreciate it. This last year has been a lesson in humility and learning to do things by myself, as my (now ex) husband decided to leave the forever family we’d made via adoption (after foatering for several years) for someone he met on the internet. As someone who has been a SAHM for so long, having to scramble to get a job and support all of us has been a challenge. I’m making it work but I’ve had to swallow my pride – it’s bitter, by the way – ask for and accept help, and there’s been absolutely no room for extras. My kids are so wonderful, they’ve been incredibly understanding. Just a present or two for each of my 5 forever kids would be so amazing and I would be extremely rateful! We are located in northwest Arkansas.
God bless & thank you so much for even considering us!

Serine23, post 316 is filled – partially.
I couldn’t order the 2 shirts on the list. One didn’t have a size – the other said “This item can’t be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address.” No idea why. ???
Now it seems that every time someone else clicks on the list I get an email from Amazon saying “a new participant has joined the wish list”. ????
Hoping the OG will see this and update the list so we can complete it.
Hello! My name is Sarah and my husband, Dustin, and I have 3 amazing kids and we live in Schertz, Texas.
We don’t have a major life changing event that happened to us but it has been a really rough year for us not just financially but emotionally. I was hoping this year I could be a donor here but the odds were seriously stacked against us this year. Between medical costs, our housing costs going up significantly when our income stayed the same, our only car getting repossessed and us working that payment off, it has been one of our most difficult years yet financially. I am a stay at home mom who has had a really rough year with my severe depression and anxiety on top of other physical disabilities that prevent me from working. My husband is an army veteran and works so hard to keep us above water. He has always been SO strong mentally but this year has taken its toll on him. MacKenzie, our strong oldest daughter, has surgeries on her birthmark (vascular malformation – the kind that bleed if even lightly scraped) on her right knee every two to three months, and those costs as well as prescription costs stack up and stack up quickly. We are doing our best but we are tired, worried, hungry, stressed, etc. We just need something good to happen, just a little help.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and our strange situation. We appreciate the consideration even if not picked! What you all do here is a beautiful thing and thank you, Jenny Lawson, for doing this even when you feel down. You are an incredible person.
I hope this Holiday season treats you all well. <3

Thank you SO much for hosting this event again this year! You are an angel! <3 <3 <3
Our little girl is 8 and gifted, very funny, talented, silly girl! She LOVES to read, if I could have squeezed more books in I would have. (She just finished Chasing Vermeer and highly recommends it!) I managed to get in a feisty pet, some jammies, and a book by one of her favorite authors. Anything at all would be wonderful! Thank you SO much!
I won’t go into about our problems, so many people have had a difficult year I’m very sad to say. i WILL say if things go, as I hope they will, maybe this time next year I will get to come back and return the favor! -fingers and toes crossed- Oh please, oh please let me get this job!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to each and every one of you! <3
I posted earlier (1196) for an 8 year old little girl, hoping it didn’t get too buried. I only put one toy on her list since her biggest need is clothing right now.
I tried to put the cheapest things on there that I could find, but if you find something cheaper that is fine too, all you have to do is put an item in the cart for the wish list address to show up. I just know how delighted she will be to receive anything at all.
Have a blessed holiday season and a happy new year everyone.

Hi Guys,
My name is Kim and I’m a single mom to a 13 year old boy named Christian (soon to be 14 on Dec. 29th). I wish I could say the holidays were a happy time of year for me, but I just seem to get stressed and overwhelmed more than anything. It’s like once January comes, I feel I can breathe once again! I made a small list for my son and any help is greatly appreciated. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Years and all that other good stuff. Thanks again! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/I7C67612W55A

Hello everyone. I know I am kind of late to the party here. I was agonizing over asking for any help at his year, especially since I’m used to helping other families out during the holidays. We’re struggling this month since my husband has been laid off until the beginning of the year. I picked an item for two of my kids, and a few cheaper games for them to play together. There are two coats as well. We live in the US. I greatly appreciate everyone’s generosity and I hope to be able to pay it forward soon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/38NESREM6L4M5
Sasha – #1264 – boots and beanie are on their way to your little loves. I recently divorced as well, and though my kids are younger (4 and 8), it’s definitely been an adjustment for all of us. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
@Anonymous (Kim) #1299, your list is over the limit. It’s a total of $35 PER CHILD, unless they also need a Winter coat. Please fix that, or your list may be deleted and nothing will get purchased because of the gift limits. Please follow the directions in Jenny’s post. 🙂
Chris here post 1237 . I forgot to post I live in DFW area in Texas. Kids are 11, 8 and 5. I have 3 gifts listed on the amazon list. Some light curtains for my 11 yr old, a inflatable chair from my 8 yr old and a little kitchen for my 5 yr old. 2 gifts are under 20$ and one is 24$ and one 27$.
Thank you to whomever purchased the strechy shoe laces for my daughter with ADHD. If anyone can help fill the rest of my list. I was laid off and this is the only gift they will get this year. Praying for a miracle.
I would like to thank whom ever the angel is that bought my lil girls crystle set she will love it and feel like a true fairy i kept the list short and simple just my boys left with my wife very ill this is a big help she usaully handles kids and the hoildays have been very gloomy but as she says we cant let it ruin the hoildays Hi.

I added a pair of shoes for Butterfly (hers are split at the sole), and a workbook that one of Elephant’s doctors mentioned to me a while ago. They’re not coats, but the kids need these more than they need coats. I hope that’s okay. http://a.co/3xRANnB (In Canada.)
I hope I’m not too late. This year has been really hard! My husband was just laid off yesterday, right before Christmas. We live in Phoenix and we have 3 boys ages 16, 14, and 11. My oldest has Autism. When he started high school we encouraged him to join the cross country team to try to get involved and meet people. Surprisingly, he is really good at running. The only thing he wants is a rack to hang his medals on. I know the limit was supposed to be $35, but this is $39.95 with free shipping. My other boys would just like something fun and entertaining. I would appreciate anything really. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2R2TPNW09ODKA?type=wishlist&filter=unpurchased&sort=priority
Candaloo #555 – The flying disc is on its way, but the book wouldn’t be delivered until after Christmas and wasn’t Prime. Try adding something else to the wishlist?
Shan G thank you! That makes moderating the list even harder, because there are so many people that made that error. I guess I have to removed them from the list.
Post number 1292 here from Schertz, Texas! Totally forgot to add their ages in my post. They’re added to the comments for each item on the wishlist but forgot to add them to the post too. >.<

Plug for #604 & 665. I did what I could on their (reasonable) lists, but they’re not getting much love.
Thank you Shan G. I thought I was able to put different gifts below the $35 limit. Anyway, I fixed my list. I know it says winter coat, but my son, who is turning 14, won’t wear a heavy coat(I guess it’s not cool to dress warm..lol), so I put a lined sweatshirt in it’s place. I was #1299..So here is my updated list…thanks again! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/I7C67612W55A/ref=cm_wl_huc_view
I was told to post again so i am.
I was asking for help for 5 boys two are mine and 3 are my sisters we are going thru a very hard times. This list is for the two boys who are still in need of something to open on Christmas morning. The boys are LS he is 10months and the other is MS he isn’t 1 and half. I appreciate any help we could get with these two guys. The toys are being delivered to New Britain CT

thank you for pointing out the Zentangle book was not prime (I miss that!). I changed it to a different Zentangle book that is prime eligible. Thank you for the angel that already purchased a couple books for my boys!

Oh, shoot! I’m so sorry! I thought it was $40. Dang it. One of my items is clothing but not a coat. Well I guess she’ll live without jammies, she’s really been wanting the other two. I’ll go edit. So sorry!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the person who purchased some gifts off of my children’s wish list ( post # 910). 4 of my kids now have gifts and I couldn’t be happier! I think I can swing buying a gift for my other boy. I can’t even express how much peace and joy this has brought me! Thank you!
@Serine23, I wouldn’t necessarily remove them, but I’d find a way to message them to change their lists.
Also, God bless you, girl, for taking on going through the comments looking for lists that need help! Maybe try a Google Doc you can post the link to instead?
My precious kiddos,Hailee Mae, 8, & Grayson, 6, are good kids who don’t ask for much. Unfortunately, this year has been a rough one for me and I could really use some help getting them the Christmas they deserve!
Hailee has been talking about the reborn baby dolls nonstop so I know she’d love to receive one of her own!
Although only 6, Grayson lives & breaths football. He plays both offense and defense lineman and would be honored to recieve special lineman gloves!
Thank You for anything you can do to help my two precious kiddos have a good Christmas this year!!
Thank You, Lisa Johnson

My boys are 10 and 12. They were very close to their uncle, my brother, who we lost 2 months ago. They would bond and geek out over all things Star Wars. This will be our first Christmas without him and while I’m not 100% sure the boys are ready to watch these movies again without their uncle, I’d like to have them handy in case they are. We are in Michigan.

Jennifer Miller – Yours are being overlooked because you didn’t follow the rules. You are supposed to put all gifts on 1 list, you have 3 separate lists. And the total for each child is supposed to be less than or equal to $35 dollars and for each of your kids you’re requesting more than double the limit. Once you fix these things I’m sure someone will be happy to help you out, we’re just trying to keep it fair and help as many children as possible. Best wishes and happy holidays!
Hi I am In need of help for 3 kids my husband has been out of work due to a stroke and we are barely getting by any help would be greatly appreciated God Bless you all for the kindness of hearts,

Monica A. at 1308: I tried to fill your list but the medal rack wouldn’t ship to your address. I was able to get the other two items. I’m sorry I couldn’t also send the rack–is there another one he might like? I’d be glad to try again.
Merry Christmas from a fellow Phoenician!

Oh yay, thank you so much to whoever just bought the books for my friend’s munchkins! You rock!!.

Serine23 – #362 Julie’s link worked just fine and the items have been bought (by me)…If all the items are bought it shows as nothing on the list.
Comment number 870. List has been filled. Happy Holidays from a stranger who cares.
Dawn Sierra, you have had a lot of your list fulfilled, love. You are not doing anything wrong! Some others haven’t been helped at all yet so, just have a bit of patience. I am sure people will get to yours again soon. Merry Christmas!
Dawn Sierra- looks like over $60 worth of toys we’re already bought for your daughter, and you have another $30 worth still on your list. The limit was supposed to be $35 per child. That may be why there are still items left. You should delete the unpurchased items since you already got almost double the limit, to make sure it’s fair for all the kids.
Hi Dawn #1342 It looks like your daughter is already receiving over $60 worth of toys and books. To check just click on the filter and sort tab and choose “purchased”.
Sorry, cross posted with Nicole! 🙂 I didn’t mean to repeat her post.
original post #1264, thank you to those that got the two items for my daughter and one for my son, they will be thrilled!
is there any way to delete my wrong post so that the fixed one(1341) is the only one linked to me. Thank you.i know theres 2 b.bags,asked if it was ok in place of coats.can you help so people buy fromonly 1341 list.
(That’s very sweet! It’s just for kids through Thursday but on Friday you can come back and add your wishlist. Thanks! ~ Jenny)
I’m #555 – Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t realize the book wasn’t Prime. Yeeks! As my son would say, so I swapped it out. I added a jacket for him because his old sweatshirt isn’t cutting it anymore. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who’s helping out. I can’t bring myself to tell my whole story, and I know a lot of people have it worse. I’m just…so grateful right now.

Thank you for reading, Merry Christmas to everyone 🙂
I want to help my Sis-in-law by posting her list again. She was number 140 originally but forgot to put in her address, then when she fixed it she shared the wrong link to the list and I think at this point she’s just given up. They’ve had a very hard year, to say the least.
She has 5 kids, and each picked one item that they want. This is literally all they asked for, and while some items do go over the $35 per kid the list avgs $38 per kiddo.
They are in the Du Bois PA. Thank you to anyone who can help. I wish I could.
http://a.co/bMkdcHC
1352 ok man, that tugged out all my heart strings. I wish I had money this year. I hope you’re able to get your list filled. Just a suggestion from a mom- give them a day off. Clean the house, make the meals, keep the house quiet, let them relax and don’t let anyone ask them for anything.all.day. that is a parent’s dream.
Hello my name is KeAra and I have 2 boys that are on the specturm whom I cannot provide gifts for this Christmas.Israel is 7 and Elijah 5. An awesome mom on one our Facebook groups gave me the information in hopes that it would help our family. We will be grateful for your help! Thanks in advance and may you forever be blessed!https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2MOW4MIEDZFOH
@JM no one has helped because the limit is 35 dollars per kid and a coat if they need it. There are gifts on there for 40 and 50 bucks .
Shan G,
Thank you. I messed up and had the worst time getting my link to work. I reposted so many times attempting to get it My email has been blowing up all day. at one time it showed 20 collaborators on my list. I was hesitant to remove the list and start over for fear being even further embarrassed by the fact that not only am I asking for help, I can’t even do that right. I have moved all of my items to a new list and am reposting the link (not an invite) here in hopes that there is just one elf around that can help me.
I am a honest and hard working single mom, 1st year nursing student, working full time to support my family and better our lives. 3 of my 4 kids are in desperate need of coats this year.
Merry Christmas to all
The Harry Potter game is no longer avail so I choose different games that they would enjoy.
I also found the doll bed at a lower price so I switched to the cheaper one.

WHOA
Post number 1292 here. One item I added when it was $19.99 and just saw that discount ended and it jumped to $45! So that item was deleted asap. I will find something else for our little dude.
So ignore that! I had the same thing happen before so I keep checking to make sure and sure enough it happened again.
CORRECTION REPOST:
Hello! My name is Sarah and my husband, Dustin, and I have 3 amazing kids and we live in Schertz, Texas.
We don’t have a major life changing event that happened to us but it has been a really rough year for us not just financially but emotionally. I was hoping this year I could be a donor here but the odds were seriously stacked against us this year. Between medical costs, our housing costs going up significantly when our income stayed the same, our only car getting repossessed and us working that payment off, it has been one of our most difficult years yet financially. I am a stay at home mom who has had a really rough year with my severe depression and anxiety on top of other physical disabilities that prevent me from working. My husband is an army veteran and works so hard to keep us above water. He has always been SO strong mentally but this year has taken its toll on him. MacKenzie, our strong oldest daughter, has surgeries on her birthmark (vascular malformation – the kind that bleed if even lightly scraped) on her right knee every two to three months, and those costs as well as prescription costs stack up and stack up quickly. We are doing our best but we are tired, worried, hungry, stressed, etc. We just need something good to happen, just a little help.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my family and our strange situation. We appreciate the consideration even if not picked! What you all do here is a beautiful thing and thank you, Jenny Lawson, for doing this even when you feel down. You are an incredible person.
I hope this Holiday season treats you all well.
ADDING from the second post where I added our kiddos ages.
MacKenzie (F) – 9 years
Reagan (F) – 3.5 years
Hunter (M) – 2 years

Candaloo #555 – Glad you fixed it and I hope your young man enjoys the sweatshirt and learning guitar! You’re all done! Merry Christmas! 🙂
Thank u Nicole Hanson
We help when we can damon their oldest bio kid has autism and we have 2 one year olds and our uncles kids has some medical issues so we are keeping our fingers crossed for some help i dont think i ever seen them get anything for themselves that was new but they always make sure us kids always have the best mama bear grow up on the streets and in and out of foster care she said she would buy a big house so she could care for kids going thou the same thing and she did
I know not everyone gets help and that’s ok. But it’s super disappointing to be honest especially when you are within the limit. An other people are getting hundreds spent on them. Every little bit helps I understand but now other people’s request isn’t getting filled. It’s unfortunate that sometimes we get in these rough spots and rely on strangers to help make our kids smile. I was counting on these small miracles, I guess that’s where I’m wrong. My family is sweet and loving so no matter if there’s presents or not there will still be LOVE. And nothing can replace that.
Blessings to the miracle workers and everyone in need. Next year I won’t count on it and maybe I’ll be able to give instead.

I’m a single mother of 4 sweet kids. I can’t really afford bills as it’s only me working much less Christmas. I made a wishlist and it’s well under the $35 limit for each kid, not including the jacket for each. I tried to chose one small toy and a book for each except for Natilee, I added a doll and some rattles for her. I try to make it to where I can get the $16 jackets for each because they really need them. If someone can help that would be really awesome. Thanks for doing this.

Oh my goodness! Okay I know what I did now! I used the same list from last year but changed the name and her age and added 3 new items. I then found it wasn’t $40 this year but $35 so I edited and took one off. I’m so sorry, I did realize it would look like that. Geez. I swear I just used last year’s list. Oh no! I completely screwed up… 🙁
Nicole Hanson 1339 your list for the Cute family is complete. Merry Christmas!
I posted for my three kids this morning, back at #999 (12 & 16 year old daughters and a 14 year old son, in Arcadia, La). Christy, I just saw your comment at #1082, so hopefully you’ll come back and see this one – THANK YOU so much for helping, and for being thoughtful enough to make sure you got something for each kid! Merry Christmas to you, too!
If anyone else purchases something from my kids’ list, please mention my name or city or #999, so I can find your comment and won’t overlook thanking you!

We have two girls, Tess and Riley, ages 13 and 9. They each picked out one toy for their list and aside from that I’ve added some things they really need like socks, undies, and a winter coat for Tess. Riley has Tess’s old coat and it’s still in good shape but Tess needs a new one because she outgrew hers and winters here in northeast Pennsylvania are harsh.
Here is the list I’ve made for them, and thank you so much for all that you do. You are all Christmas angels! 🙂
I hope someday soon I can return here as a Christmas angel myself! Merry Christmas and thank you for reading my story!
(You’re way over on the limit. Can you delete the storage unit thing? It should be $35 per child and if you need a coat that’s okay to add. Thanks! ~ Jenny)
Megan #1366 all 4 coats will be there Friday. Merry Christmas!
Woohoo thank you anonymous! Can’t wait to see how he looks in his cardigan, that kid’s got some serious style! Merry Christmas!
I had trouble posting a request last night, so I am going to try again.
I am a single mom in GA. I have 4 children and 2 of my brother’s I am caring for. They are all teenagers, but one of mine is 18, so I won’t include him.
My husband died 8.5 years ago.He was a diabetic who died from heart related complications brought on by his diabetes.My brother entered into a court mandated psychiatric facility in June. I was the only family member willing to take in his twins. They are 14.
I struggle to give them all a safe and happy home. I would appreciate anything someone sees fit to help us with. To make it simple, I am just asking for Amazon gift cards for each child. I also included the year long subscription to their gaming platform. They all play games in shifts. It is their reward for proper grades and behavior.I also have a coat for each. I did not include my 18 year old son in any of this. Thank you for your generosity and help.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls?lid=MEXJO67AMSEY&ref=cm_sw_go_wl_awwl_

JZ, you are such an angel! I edited the shipping address on my account for 3rd party sellers. Hopefully it works no. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We have a 6 year old boy and 14 year old girl in need of some help this year. I put together some things they both would like. My boy loves science and learning. My 14 year old just wants to be a normal teenager but we just don’t have the extra for all the fun stuff. She loves to sing, act, draw and wear makeup.
http://a.co/ifmMEWA
jenny! What should I do? I used last year’s list to add the new things for this year. Do I repost? (It showed last year’s purchased items. If you look most things on the list are from 2017. There are only two items from 2018.) I’m really sorry, I thought it would be okay to use the same wishlist. 😮
I am feeling sad & desperate. I was in the 130’s & messed up my address. I fixed it but still have gotten lost in the mix & not even had one thing on my list that I posted. I feel worse bc I told my sister about this & she was so excited. I see people talking about adding more to their list & I see so many who have gotten nothing & it makes me wonder.
Her kids are 2,4,6,7,9 & 10. I can send photos to anyone who needs proof. I can even send copies of court papers with dates showing them placed in her custody. They are in Alabama. If there is anyone left helping, I am sharing this last time, I know there are lots of others who have needs so if it doesn’t work out maybe I’ll have a yard sale or something to help
Them. It will work out.

Also, be careful, the add on items….if someone doesnt buy $25 from your list, they cant get the add on item at all. Might want to avoid those.
I tend to gravitate towards filling book or game things since they are both big things in my family. I cant tell you how many uno games I have sent today

Comment 262 – Shauna
The only gift you asked for in your initial post will be arriving tomorrow Merry Christmas.
( I noticed just now, when checking on this, that you have now added another item that is over the limit. Since the first gift was $30+, I cannot fulfill this request. If it is for another child you need to make that clearer….thanks )
Anon 1359, I’m aware. Like I said, it avgs out to $38 each child. There is a coupon that drops one item a couple bucks, and I believe the sewing machine was on sale when she first put it on the list. Like I said, she hasn’t updated because they have so much going on right now that she’s not even thinking about this and after I told her she shared the wrong link to her list she just gave up. They are not scammers. They are real people, real kids, who need help. Yes, some items are $5 over, but some are up to $10 under the limit. I don’t have access to editing her list, I can’t swap out anything. It feels icky arguing over a few dollars when I was simply trying to help her out after Jenny pointed out she didn’t have an address on her list. So this is the last I’ll mention it. It will either happen or it won’t.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. Today I found a new sponsor so I was able to fill some more lists and I was so happy to see how many people have been helped. Thank you! Thank you for helping. Thank you for asking for help. Thank you for both.
You are magic.
I’m not sure why non of my posts are showing? Beginning to get panicky that i did something wrong?
We are located in new Mexico. We have had a long hard year. I have 5 kiddos- 2 got a toy yesterday but 3 haven’t.list is within the limits. I hope havent blundered this in some way.
So sorry that people can be so greedy and try to abuse the wonderful thing you are doing for the truly needy, not the people trying to get more. It makes me cry that they made YOU, with the biggest heart in the world, feel cynical. You are doing a wonderful thing. Please DON’T Give UP!
I want to thank the person or persons who got a few of the items on my kids’ list earlier today. So sweet of you! 🙂
I checked my list just now and realized that one item (that was for all 3 of them) that was delayed earlier, has now gone out of stock. BUT, I have replaced that item with a similar one…and it ended up being cheaper, too! Yay! 😉
I’m really hoping there are still some more generous people on here helping those of us who just can’t do it this year. It would be so great to see them all happily playing together. Again, thank you all so much!
I am reposting my link below, but my original post was #1185.

I posted previously back in the 200 for comments and it appears it was overlooked which understandable with all the amazing people on here so I thought I would try one more time.
I have a family of 5 ( a mom and 4 kids) who could desperately use the help this holiday season. All of the kids love legos. The oldest who is 13 and she loves the band Panic at the disco. The oldest daughter has been going through chemo treatments for awhile now and because of this the mom has been unable to work full time. Any extra money goes for medical bills. This family has missed out on birthdays this year due to lack of money I would hate for them to miss out on Christmas to. Ages of kids are 14, 13, 11, 11. All girls. I am hoping with your help we can pull off a true secret santa miracle for this family!! We are in St. Louis, MO

I just wanted to try one last time to see if anyone wanted to give my kiddos some Christmas cheer. 🎄
Happy holidays! I am asking for help this year to bring a little Christmas joy to my family. My husband usually works full-time and I stay at home with the kids but this year has been a bit of a role reversal. My husband lost his job back in March and has been receiving unemployment and looking for a new job ever since. I have gone back to work but I haven’t been able to find a job that comes close to matching my husband’s income so we have been struggling. On top of the job situation, our car chose last week to die so any savings we had is now funneled into the car. We have four children, Jason, Erin, Chloe, and Hailey, 17, 14, 11, and 5 and live in Ohio. I made a small list for the kids and anything to put under the tree for them would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Much love and joy to you all!

JZ, I’m so humbled and blessed by your generosity. Thank you so much. This means so much to me.

#748 / #749 I just check the list again and saw one action figure, the lamp and the cards were picked up by someone and wanted to thank them very much. I keep seeing comments about people sending direct thanks to the anonymous people through Amazon but still haven’t figured it out. When something gets bought off the list it goes to the ‘purchased’ tab and I don’t see any options about contacting them. Am I missing something?

Maybe I should shorten my post. I have 7 kids under 18 living with me. 4 are mine, 2 are my grandbabies, and the other one is my daughter boyfriends/ father of their twins who’s mom kicked him out when she found out my daughter was pregnant. They are great children and they do not ask for much throughout the year, but I believe they deserve a little something for Christmas. My daughter bf has became one of my own, simply because he is a good kids who treats my family right. If you want to know more about them, read my 1st post (#1194).
Each of them should have everything under $35 not more. I tried to stay within the limits, and not go overboard because others need help too and I do not want to take from them.
DVDs were ordered for RJ.
Jenn 1401/1404 – your list is way over the limit. $35 per child, plus a coat if needed. People might skip over you with such a long list. Cheers!

(I went back and looked at the comment you left before. You never said how many kids you have or where you live and only things you asked for were a gift certificate for coffee and a shirt for an adult man. I looked at your sidebar though and saw a list for kid stuff that you made yesterday. Maybe you meant to share that list but you didn’t? I’m sending you a few things from it but if you want to share it here you can. You weren’t forgotten…just confused. 🙂 ~Jenny)

(The limit per child is $35. Can you fix your list and then repost? Thanks! ~ Jenny)
Hi Allie P (705) – you are way over the $35 per child limit on gifts, maybe consider narrowing down your list?
Annonymous 689 – nope, your list still isn’t shared correctly! Try again!
OK, updated through 700! But I’m getting a migraine. Anyone who follows this link can edit it. These are just lists with active items… I haven’t checked what has been fulfilled. So if they have received items, you can just delete the list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing
Hello, I am original post #473 from Wisconsin and I am a single mother of 4 lovely children. I have two girls ages 12 & 5 and two boys ages 2 & 5. It’s been a rough year for me and all I want to do is bless my children with at least one gift of their choice. They are great kids who don’t ask for much. I would appreciate if someone could be their Santa this year as I know I won’t be able to do it on my own this year due to a set back and just now getting back on my feet. Thank you.

A hopeless mama- I don’t think it’s fair to call the rest of us greedy. Yes, there are a lot of posts, so when an item gets bought for one child, we want to make sure our other child gets a gift as well, so we may repost. I don’t understand the point of you being upset that we got our lists filled? We are all struggling,dear, that’s why we are here. Instead of calling us names and refusing to repost your list while at the same time complaining your kids will have nothing, and telling Jenny you’re never coming back? Why don’t you just repost and hope for the best? This is about your kiddos, not your pride. I know it’s frustrating, but you DEFINITELY won’t get your list filled by berating us and leaving.
3 kiddos in need of Christmas this year . I have 1 thing listed each under 30 bucks on Amazon. In the DFW area of Texas. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I’m Katy from above, trying to get help for my 15 year old daughter this year. I replaced the essential oil kit since it was out of stock. I’m on disability due to chronic health issues that include my mental health and hoping to get back into school this year starting in January. Any help would be really appreciated.

Violet Sage (@workwinsave) Thank you so much for your offer to help! I have added you to Edit, and sent you a link to the document as an editor. Sorry, everyone else can comment on the page, but not delete stuff. I have to take some Advil and go to bed. Keep up the good work everyone! I’ll try to help more in the morning!
Yay Annonymous 869 I can finally send you something!!!
Thank you to whomever gifted my children! I appreciate you. Merry Christmas!
Anonymous 473, 1417 – All items need to be on one list per the rules. Not one list per child. All items on one list with a comment per item with the name and age of child that will receive that item.
#643 keeps adding more items to her wish list and deleting items that were purchased. Such a shame people can’t do what is asked.
Anonymous 1334 thank you for helping my son have a cheerful Christmas. Take care and god bless.
I want to thank those who granted my wishes. It’s very much appreciated. God bless you all for helping making the holidays a little bit brighter and bringing joy to so many children. Thank you.

Hello everyone I’m writing from Las Vegas. I am the oldest of 4 kids Gigi 15, Mario 14, and Jose 10 my mom has been struggling a lot with work and bills, then a friend told me about this blog it would mean so much to all of us if we could get even a little help with presents. Thank you in advance to anyone who decides to help. Merry Christmas

I’m sorry I’m late to this post. My father passed away on Saturday. I’m posting for my brother and his boys. My brother has been spending the last year taking off so much time from work to take care of our aging father who lived near him. I know not only will they have a hard time financially taking care of buying gifts, but the holiday will be hard for them having their grandfather pass away so close to Christmas. Hopefully, a few gifts for the boys would help my brother out.
He has three boys, 19, 15, and 6.

Dear Chris from 1419 – One of your gifts is on its way!
Also, A hopeless mama-, I went back and found your original posts (563/568) and you have 5 separate lists. The guidelines specifically say to only have one list. Also, looks like 2 of your kids have items on the way
Serine23 I can help too, just let me know what you want me to do!
Thank you anonymous 1431. My little one is going to be so excited. If anyone can help my oldest 2 I have some curtain lights for the oldest and a inflatable chair for the middle with ADHD. The teacher recommended it. Something with bounciness keeps them occupied while reading. I figured it would help with homework. Thank you again to the person who has helped my little one!
🌲🍭🌲🍭I just looked at updated list and I’m 531 and my link is fixed. I fixed it earlier today.
I have 3 kids 1 boy 8 special needs and 2 girls in Portland oregon. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/h1wXG4j
Jennifer Canterbury you’re still sharing the “invite” link. that’s a big pain in the butt for everyone because it automatically adds us as a collaborator and we start getting a shit ton of emails. Share using the actual share link
Thank you to everyone who has been helping me get this right! I hope I did it right this time!
Two kids, ages 13 and 9, in Kingston, PA.
I’m reposting again with a fixed list, and including our city & state in the post :). It looks like someone has purchased a toy for each of my daughters so THANK YOU so much to the secret Santa who has chosen my girls to spread some Christmas cheer to! Since they each have one toy I’ve removed everything else from their list except for the shoes and coat because we really, truly need them.
We have two girls, Tess and Riley, ages 13 and 9. They each picked out one toy for their list. Riley has Tess’s old coat and it’s still in good shape but Tess needs a new one because she outgrew hers and winters here in northeast Pennsylvania are harsh.
Here is the list I’ve made for them, and thank you so much for all that you do. You are all Christmas angels! 🙂
I hope someday soon I can return here as a Christmas angel myself! Merry Christmas and thank you for reading my story!

Hi if anyone is still around and gifting I would appreciate some help for my son Ian. I am unemployed and job hunting right now and caring for a sick family member so I don’t have any money to spend on gifts for him. Ian is a wonderful and energetic boy and he loved to ride his scooter but the one he has is plastic and he is too heavy to use it now.He just started kindergarten and is doing pretty well. Anyway if anyone can help us out I would be grateful. I did add a coat because his is getting small. And I know it is a few dollars over I could not find anything cheaper. The pads are not completely neccessary he does have a helmet already. Thanks

It’s been a very rough year for my children and I. My husband and I got divorced after 16 years and he left for another women. I’m working but just not making enough for gifts for my kids. I have 3 kids who are 14 year who loves musics and crafts and 7 year old twins. We live in Albuquerque.Thank you to anyone who is willing to help us! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/T17JKGSX3QDH
Hi! I am posting for a friend of mine, Christina, who is the type of person that would never ask for help therefore I feel the need to do it for her. She deserves it as does her husband and their baby girl. She doesn’t think she is worth it but I know she is. She is my absolute best friend and has had a terrible past few years. She has multiple disabilities that have caused her to become crippled which also causes difficulty in caring for their wonderful daughter, Chloe, who just turned one year in November!
This woman is amazing. I could go on about how incredible she is but I could write a book. She and her husband went through years of trouble trying to conceive and have suffered through many losses (both miscarriages and stillborn). She gave birth to a beautify and healthy baby girl in November 2017. This will be their only child as it was an extremely dangerous pregnancy,
My friend has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, severe depression and anxiety, PTSD from a previous abusive marriage, and other disabilities she recently got diagnosed with that I can’t remember (there’s a lot). Their medical bills have PILED through the roof and it breaks my heart to hear her cry and say that she can’t give her baby a Christmas. I know there are so many people on this blog that need help but I just pray that someone considers my dear friend. She and her family deserve whatever kind of help they can get.
I live 5 hours away and I myself an unable to afford to help as we are in a similar situation but she is far more important. I make my plea and tell you that she is one of the most deserving people. She gives when she has little without question and NEVER asks for help. If you decide to help, I thank you more than I could ever thank anyone. I will forever pay it forward.
Thank you for considering my beautiful friend!
Here is the link! http://a.co/3ldxCLp
I made the list with her name and address as the recipient but my email as the contact. I hope that is okay.
Newly single mom here.
I am really struggling with this time of year and providing Christmas for them and with working after being a SAHM for years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My original link is broken and I can’t find it. I don’t feel like going back and hunting everything down and adding it back so I’m just using the stocking stuffer one. $35 per kid= $70 total. Stockings are a gifts too, right? And I added some pjs to the list that are much needed. I believe everything for the stockings should equal under $70, except the pjs, which are extra. Anyone want to help me get these stocking out the way so it can be one less thing I have to worry about? I would love you forever, even if I don’t even know who you are lol.
Jm- go over the guidelines again. You’re only supposed to have 1 list, with a $35 limit for each kid.
Jennifer Canterbury I am in Portland too and I have extra coats in size 10/12 similar to what you posted on your list, I could find a way to get that to you if you feel comfortable reaching out here or on twitter. I have boys age 11 and 15 and girls age 5 and 9 and I may have some other stuff for you as well.
Dallas- you might want to redo your list. There is a $35 limit for each child, and you need to add a comment to each item saying which kid it’s for.
Anon post #1386. The Picasso blocks have an est delivery date of Dec 24th. Is there another option?
I posted earlier (1196) for an 8 year old little girl, hoping it didn’t get too buried. I only put one toy on her list since her biggest need is clothing right now.
I tried to put the cheapest things on there that I could find, but if you find something cheaper that is fine too, all you have to do is put an item in the cart for the wish list address to show up. I just know how delighted she will be to receive anything at all.
Have a blessed holiday season and a happy new year everyone.

Oh wow thank you to the anonymous donor for 1292 (original post)/1361 (corrected post)!
I am in awe of your generosity for getting what you did! I can’t find the words and I am a sobbing mess. Thank you a thousand times over. Thank you.
http://a.co/6j2DBDL
Jennifer Canterbury I think I actually found you on Facebook, just comment here if it’s ok for me to message you there and I can get you the coat and probably some cute clothes and maybe some toys for your girls. They may be second hand but in really good condition. We are completely broke but I can certainly share what we do have.
I have a son (10) and a daughter (17) and we recently took in our two nieces (12 and 14) after their mother (my husband’s sister) went into rehab. They’ll be with us until at least March of next year and we could use some help with their gifts! We are just outside of Detroit.

Kate H – – thank you for the gifts, they will be SOOOO appreciated and loved!! <3
Thank you!!!! My heart is so full from the generosity of the kind elves that filled out childrens’ wish list. I tried to find who to thank in the comments but I can’t seem to find any posts stating who so selflessly helped. The kiddos will love their gifts. I’ll be sure to thank you through amazon as gifts arrive. You guys are truly amazing!
Good evening! I’m from 1125 NC mom of two. First, thanks to whoever bought a book for my oldest- thank you!! Second, upon checking the list I noticed one item go way up in price for my youngest so I deleted that item and replaced with one to stay in the limits. Thanks again to whoever bought the book and to anyone else who may be able to bless us too. You are so greatly appreciated. <3

Hi,
I am thankful for all the good being done here. I’m in Thousand Oaks, CA and while no one used to know where we were, we are now sadly known. I hadn’t planned on needing help this year, but after losing 2.5 weeks of work due to the fires, I could use help with Christmas. We are happy that our home, our pets and our loved ones are all fine, but missing work is quite a blow.
Anyway I have three geeky teens and here is a list for them… Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1BYL2N0M2QJJL
Thank you to Jenny for doing this again! Thank you to those trying to help her master lists, helpful suggestions etc. Thank you to the wonderful people who made it possible all 5 of my kiddos have not one, but two gifts to open on Christmas Day. I can’t wait to see their happy faces. And thank you to all the wonderful,amazing,fantastic,fabulous people being angels to so many kids so that they can have a Christmas! I think we forget that as hard as it is in this world nowadays for almost all of us the poor kids suffer the most. So thank you all for bringing love,caring,and happiness into the kids hearts so they can remember why their generation needs to be the ones to end this corrupt way of the world. This is so much bigger than we stop to think about. Jenny you started this amazing wonderful way to show the true meaning of Christmas! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to the person who fulfilled my kids list!
I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
And Thank you Jenny for doing this!

Thank you in advance and thank you so much, Jenny, for starting this miracle.
A.H., A.Hardy, A.Leslie – 333, 399, 874, 1068, 1453 and more I probably missed. You have already posted several slightly different stories and lists, and MANY things have been sent. I see you are now deleting lists as they are filled. You should be ashamed of yourself, please try for a minute to think of the people who really need the help and stop with the scamming.
Thank you to the person who bought the sewing kit on our list ❤️
Jenny, I think you have me confused with someone else? I only have the one list.
Anonymous, when I click on the wishlists you mentioned, they are still there. I don’t know if Amazon is glitching but I seem to be getting confused with others.
(There are 4 wish lists (bloggess Christmas, Christmas Wishlist, James Garfield Miracle, Merry Christmas 2018) that are all being sent to the same amazon account shipping address you linked to. The account is named A.H. and all are being sent to A. Hardy in Southgate Michigan. A. Hardy is one of the names of the people who have asked for help and had their family list filled. Some of the names going to the same place are A.H., A. Hardy, A. Leslie, Anna and AI. There were also a few others that were extremely similar and were sent to the same place that were deleted after their wishlist was filled. Can you explain? ~ Jenny)
My name is Abby and I am a single, working mom of a fun, sweet and rambunctious little boy. Ryker fills my days with lots of love and adventure. I am struggling to make ends meet right now. I don’t receive child support and my student loans total almost $800 a month not to mention rent and everything else. My car has also required a lot of repairs recently. I feel like I’m drowning and haven’t been able to afford a single gift.
I’m a huge fan of Jenny’s and one day I promise to pay it forward and give back. Merry Christmas and thank you so much for making the season brighter.
Lots of love,
Abby and Ryker

Thank you for this opportunity!🙏❤️😊
Do you mean with the Spreadsheet? I only just saw that she still needed help so I probably won’t be able to pitch in until the morning, my 5 year old is having some trouble sleeping. If you mean our wishlist we were post 1094, I think, but from people’s multiple posts it looks like others are getting more antsy and impatient than us, we have faith that the universe will give us what we need always.
1492 and 1361 here. THANK you to the donor that bought a few things. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
http://a.co/6j2DBDL
#1459 Jessica, the coat for your son is no longer Prime and one of his items looks to be backordered. I think I succeeded in getting each kiddo something. The youngest two’s presents are from my kiddo 😁
Violet yeah, I meant the spreadsheet, im a recipient too, sorry 🙁
#1463 Erica, I think you don’t have your address set up correctly. I was unable to select it for shipping during checkout.
no worries at all! my kids will get what they should, they are very awesome and understanding kids, we will manifest all we need! im still hoping i win some amazon bucks and can help out other people but no luck so far!
Oh my gosh sometime in the last couple hours a few of our items were purchased! So much thanks to whoever did that!!!
Original post: 1471 (our family’s story is there ❤️)

Violet that’s awesome!!! I have no doubt your list will end up being filled!
Do I need to redo my link I feel so confused
Moms and dads, you don’t need to stress. I grew up poor. I could tell you what I got most Christmases because we cherished everything we got. I didn’t know until I was an adult that my mom sometimes was only able to spend a few dollars. We never noticed. What we saw was joy, a beautiful tree, time with family, CANDY, Christmas music, playing games around the card table, working puzzles with my grandma. Your kids won’t remember that a Christmas was tight. They WILL remember that there is love.
Also, I cannot WAIT until Booksgiving!
Hello Everyone. I am a wife and mother of five children ages 17, 17, 15, 9, and 1 (17 months). My husband is the main support of our family and I help where I can out of my disability check. Barely getting by, we just couldn’t put back money for what they asked for because of bills and groceries for 7 people each month. We’ve explained that the electronic things they asked for will have to be bought after tax time next year or during their birthdays because we can’t afford it, but didn’t want them to be empty-handed for Christmas. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping those of us in need. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NBUKA3WN57KJ/ref=cm_wl_huc_view

Depoe Bay, Oregon! It’s been a really rough year, and instead of sharing my sadness, I’ll just pray for kindness and the ability to return the same. Thank you everyone!
Alexie-6 &Xavier -7
This community is just amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the people who filled my niece’s wish lists. They will be so excited Santa found them at our house! My sister is over the moon at the generosity of complete strangers. It truly is a Christmas miracle!! I am blown away. If there is is any cheer left, our 16 year-old cousin recently got kicked out of her house due to problems with her step-father. So she is joining our happy melee home for awhile! She’s 16 and not really into gifts or Santa but I wheedled out of her that she needs a new charger for her ancient Kindle and wouldn’t mind a Starbucks gift card. So if anyone wants to bring a little light to a worried but wonderful girl, that would be incredible! If not, I know we are late to the party with this request. Thank you!
http://a.co/gSBaVcl
I’ll save my sad story for the year, and just hope for kindness this holiday season, and the ability to return the same when able.
It was great being able to participate and donate last year, and always am grateful for the opportunity to do so. Jenny’s work is genuinely amazing and unlike many, her notions do come from the heart.
I have two kids, my daughter Alexie-6 &her cousins Xavier-7 I’m raising as well.

I know I’m late to the party wry grin but I’ve been running around like a chicken without a head. My mother is very ill and I’m her only carer. We live on her social security check which is around $1200 a month and our house payment is almost $700 a month. We’re grateful to have a roof over our heads, but that’s about all we have. If someone could help buy my kids a little something for the holiday, I’d be super grateful. I have a son who needs a jacket (it’s on the list) and my daughter is special needs and would love anything, truly, especially the drawing things. Thank you so much for looking!

Helpless in Catskill 716 – I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁
Can you please click on “add comment, quantity & priority” to add a comment about which things are for which kids and what age they are? (You can just use their initials if you want.)
It would help to make sure each child gets at least one present. Thank you!!!

Hi all. I’m just curious (for those that have participated before) when this winds down? I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, it’s just that I have 3 kids and only one gift was sent. Should I be worried yet or not?
#748/#749 I can’t believe everything but 3 action figures has been picked up you guys are amazing. I came in with the expectation that ‘maybe’ 1 item would get bought and was blown away by the generosity. I also found out that apparently when you receive a gift it will come with a little piece of paper that lets you thank the anonymous person but I’m not really sure how that works. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks again 🙂
posting the kids lists from original post 1264 one more time while I’m around Wi-Fi, thank you again to the ones that got my daughter her boots and lip stuff, and the person who got my son the beanie!

Hi Claire, post 368, as previous commenters have mentioned, I tried to get the jacket but it’s from the marketplace so Amazon doesn’t recognise it as Prime although yes, I KNOW it’s marked as Prime but sometimes the system glitches. I found this which I think would work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Regatta-Childrens-Thermoguard-Insulated-Repellent/dp/B07DFKY3HS/ref=cts_sp_2_vtp?th=1&psc=1. Could you add something like that to the list instead?
Hi, I’m a single mom going through a divorce. I live in Houston TX and have 4 children. Ages 11, 8, 4 and 2. Things have been really hard this year especially with the medical troubles I have been having. I have been so worried I wouldn’t be able to afford much for them. Any assistance would be more than appreciated. Thank you for hosting this and to all those who play Santa

Is anyone on here in need of presents and from New Zealand? If so, please post a contact email and I’d love to get in touch and send something.
1510 – Jeanette, I have added the jacket you suggested. I’m so sorry about the mix up, I don’t know how I managed to miss the other comments. For anyone else reading this, but I popped a jacket from the marketplace on the wishlist and it was making it difficult! I definitely was flustered. We’re in Hampshire in the UK.

Morning!!! I just want to thank the elf you purchased items from my list. All but 1 item was purchased and that’s way more than what I could’ve done.
Thank you sooooooo much & happy holidays!!!
Serine23 – I went through to comment 1,471 and made a list of all the wishlists that either had nothing fulfilled or had children not yet taken care of 🙂 It is current as of 4 am PST – I sent you a message on the spreadsheet – I am happy to share my work with you in a few hours when I am up again 🙂
So… yesterday I posted a comment about feeling unsure whether the person I purchased for was actually someone in need, or just a chancer. Well, that person has turned out to be genuine, and I only wish I could have helped out more. Today I feel just that little bit less cynical towards the world and everyone in it, which is wonderful.
Thank you to that person (I won’t name them, as I don’t think they’d wish the attention called on them), and a BIG, BIG thank you to you Jenny, for allowing me to feel some of the true spirit of Christmas this year.
Merry Christmas, you lovely people!
My post was #1284. I just want to thank the person that bought the baby doll bottles and book. There are a few more left. Again thank you💜
Oh wow! Thank you so so much to the angels who filled my kids list. God bless you. And thank you again they will love all of it.
Thank you to those who have purchased a gift for 2 of my 3 kids. Only 1 gift remains. If someone can please help out with the last gift. This will be the only gift they are receiving this year. I’m worried 2 of them might have one to open but not the middle child. Please help if you can

Amanda (#1468) – Your wish list items will be there on December 14…Merry Christmas!
I just posted above, but forgot to mention that my original post was #251 and we are from Hattiesburg, MS.
Chris #1519 (middle child) and T. Peterson #1053 (4 older children), the gifts for your kid(s) should arrive on time!

Had to make a change for post 1440 for my friend. The last item for Chloe wouldn’t arrive before Christmas. 🙁 so I made a change for something else!
Thank you, angels!
becomingcliche, (post 1492) I want to say thank you for that beautiful post! I grew up poor too, and my Christmases were also beautiful. It wasn’t about the stuff, but the memories of: hot chocolate, Christmas cartoons, eating cookies for breakfast, and playing board games. There was always something special to cherish. After reading all of the posts, some got me down, but yours lifted my heart! (read it everyone!) Thank you everyone for helping with the list. Don’t lose hope, it’s a beautiful thing. Whatever your story is, whatever your reason for your need, it will get better! You are loved.
The master list is being edited this morning and many of us are still giving: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit#gid=0

This is my first repost. I’ve been following this thread and that seems to be the thing to do.
There is one particular gift for Dominic -age 7- on my list that I’m really praying hard for if anyone can help with it. He’s just getting into the matchbox cars and will love this soooo much!
A little history on Dom is he was abused by his father, in the worst way possible, and 2 years ago I was granted full custody with no visitation. This little guy has been through so much including 1 year of therapy so far but he has a long road ahead of him. To me, he continues to be victimized because his father is only ordered to pay $25 a month in child support (although I’m working to change that & still hopeful for criminal charges against him). Please help us if you can and I really am hoping the scammers on here are shut down. Do the right thing guys, please.

My phone was shut off and I won’t be around WiFi for a while today so I thought I’d post once more for our kiddos! I am thankful for each of you that have helped us and the others on this thread. It’s incredible to keep seeing so many generous people. I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about how wonderful all of this is. You are all truly a blessing.

Hello! I am putting in a request for my 4 kids. I have 3 boys ages 10, 8, and 1; and 1 daughter aged 5. I’m hoping to give them a nice Christmas this year as they have been extremely patient and loving with me as I work through some situational depression following the loss of my mother and best friend.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/L6UTAGEBVHJM
Sondra #1529, you may have better success getting help if you remove the 18 and older. I know they still feel like kids (I have a 21 year-old whom my brain still registers as 6!), but the cut-off had to be made somewhere. I know it’s hard.
One thing I recommend is offering an experience, something that can cost zero dollars but really make a kid happy. Maybe let the young adults pick a menu for dinner and have them make it with you. And then sit down to watch a movie of their choice, or play a game, or even just talk. That time with you will be so cherished.
Abby (commenter 1481) – One book and one toy have been sent to Ryker. I wish I could do more.
I hope someone can pick up the coat (maybe try to find a less expensive one) and PJs. I’ll repost your link because I thought it was well intended. =) Merry Christmas.

Joni #1189 – I got the remaining two items on your list (one for each kiddo). I have 2 year old twin girls and they are a handful but also such a blessing. I hope you have a fabulous Christmas!!
Good morning…first I want to say thanks so much for whoever got my son the
“Streaking Kittens” extension pack for his card game. He’s been playing that since he was 11 and even though he’s 13, going on 14 on Dec. 29th.. he still gets a kick out of that game..ssshhhh…just don’t let anyone know..it’s not cool at his age :). I only put 3 things on his list and 2 are left( 1 is $15.99 and the other is a Sherpa lined sweatshirt, which he really needs….in place of a winter coat…again, coats aren’t cool (eyeroll) I’m still thinking he’ll learn one day when he freezes his butt off walking home from school. Hey, I gotta pick my battles and that just isn’t one of them right now. If anyone is able to get either one or both things off his list it would help sooo much, if not I really do understand and I wouldn’t want anyone to go without getting anything. Thanks again!

Hey all! Hey jenny! I’m sorry if I missed a response! There was confusion over my list, being I used the same list I had used last year (I just changed the name for convenience.) I’m going to repost once more with the same list so you can see the previous items were from 2017. There are only two items a book and feisty pet. 😮
This will be for Twyla. She’s 8 years old. We live here in Frisco, Texas. She’s gifted, very sweet, very funny, and this would be a tremendous help to us. The book is by one of her favorite authors. I’m currently job hunting so hopefully next year I won’t be posting for help but will have the opportunity to help someone else. Please wish me luck! <3
Again I’m SO sorry for the confusion! If there is any issue please feel free to contact me. Thank you so much for all you! <3 <3 <3
GOOD MORNING and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE this time of year and my husband and I were secret givers here last year. This year we are hoping for a little help. We have one girl and 2 boys in Abq NM. My son has begged and begged for the hatchibaby thing and it is $4.97 over the $35. I tried to get a cheaper item for the other two to offset it but I understand if it’s a no go there. Love this thing and hope to be a giver again next year!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/6RZO1NU9K07H
God, I feel like I’m begging…I know you said not to feel bad about asking for help, but it just $ucks…oops can we say that here :)My post is above 1536 and I just felt like I had to get that out. It feels so good when you can give, but so hard when you’re in need to ask for help. I’m sure it’s like that for everyone. Anyway…that’s all…thanks for listening!
Okay, friends and neighbors, Miss Heather is here to help with those annoying emails. Go to Amazon.
Click “Your account.” Underneath the payment options button is a link for your communication preferences.
Click “Email.”
Click “Current subscriptions.” Then turn that mofo OFF. Amazon automatically subscribes you to any wish list you have the link to. If you want to complain about this nuisance, DO IT. I mean to Amazon, not to me. I mean, you CAN complain to me, and I’m here for it, but I am less helpful when it comes to ENDING the stream of emails than feedback to actual Amazon would be.
@ Kim T (1536) I got you the hoodie. Hope it keeps him warm.
@ Sondra Shaver (1529) I got you the matchbox car set.
@becomingcliche Thanks for the info. That would drive me insane. I’m just commenting back because in my above post I used the word $ucks(and for some reason felt the need to ask if that was okay, …you’d think I’d know Jenny’s blog better by now, but then I saw your comment about “…turn that mofo off”…. and I’m like, “Hell, was I actually worried about that? Depression and anxiety…it seems to make you apologize for existing and feel like you don’t deserve any help!” Okay, I’m sorry…(see, there I go again), I know this isn’t a discussion forum, so I promise…this is the last comment from me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to everyone!
Dallas Vigil – Hope your kids enjoy! Even though a little bit of a late purchase, everything should arrive before the big day.
Michelle L King – Could buy one pair because it was out of stock, but sent the other two along. Hope the kids enjoy.
Michelle L King I meant – could NOT
@Kt B…I know I said the above was my last post, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. He will love it! Thanks for easing some of the stress and making my day a little brighter!

Amber has updated to 1461, I just need to work on the spreadsheet. Sorry I’m behind everyone, it’s a snow day and my kids are home. Madness!
So, if we modify this next year, per Jenny, perhaps lists (links) will go straight into the document, instead of the comments? I think the comments section is wonderful for reading about how it’s going and people’s stories though…
@Serine23 – if you still need help this evening with the Google sheet, let me know. I’m happy to do what I can to help.
I want to cry right now. My incompetence and lack of tech savvy may have cost my kids any chance at getting Christmas gifts this year. As I stated above I moved my stuff to a new list once I discovered the mistake in using the invite link instead of the share link. I replaced 2 items that were no longer avail, and found a doll bed at a cheaper price. but now the doll bed is no longer available. I am tempted to add the one I had originally but I am afraid that changing my list now would lessen my chances of finding an angel more.
Really the only thing that matters to me as a mom is that my kids are warm. Winter came early this year and 3 of my kids really need coats.

This is a repost of comment 1474, to say I now added a shipping address and Thank You Anonymous Elf for pointing that out in commentb1528.
I am thankful for all the good being done here. I’m in Thousand Oaks, CA and while no one used to know where we were, we are now sadly known. I hadn’t planned on needing help this year, but after losing 2.5 weeks of work due to the fires, I could use help with Christmas. We are happy that our home, our pets and our loved ones are all fine, but missing work is quite a blow.
Anyway I have three geeky teens two girls aged 17 and 14 and a boy aged 16. and here is a list for them… Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1BYL2N0M2QJJL
Becomingcliche #1533
Thank you for the advice, you’re probably right , I will update my list. It’s funny you say that because that offer is on the table and they’ve picked what they want. One way I encourage them to help is giving them options, like doing dishes or help make dinner.
Right now I am soooo so so grateful that someone bought Dominic’s gift 💕
I just dropped off my son at work and cried all the way home. This is amazing what you all are doing. The love that strangers are showing for all these children is inspiring.
The love my children show to each other is literally the best gift I could receive. It’s the fruit of our hard work and my cup overflows. I’m feeling that more this season than ever. We are a family that has been through a lot, who love each other, and make memories in the midst of adversity. We may qualify for a masters degree on the subject!
The only thing I can do more at this point is share our story and pray that others choose joy over despair. In my experience, it’s a choice and our children are watching. 👀🎁
Thank you SO MUCH to Elf Named Gin for fulfilling my list at 1097. It will mean so much to these kids and their parents. 🙂
I wanted to add one more child if possible, I googled her address and made a new list that goes straight to her in Cleveland TN. Her name is Dakota, she was born with a cleft palate and is now doing much better at age 10. Her mom is an artist and kids art teacher so Dak is always painting and creating also, and Dak loves dinosaurs and Godzilla and wants to be a paleontologist someday. Their heat went out recently, and her mom has been trying to sell some art and paintings to help cover that so they don’t use the present money. http://a.co/bQo2buw
This is a list for one 5 year old boy. It is in the United States. Thank you everyone for making christmas brighter for all these children.
http://a.co/a44oBxh
Kt B… I just saw your post and thank you from the pit of my soul for you generosity. One day I will pay it forward and your gift will live on. So much love to you and your family.
This list is for my nine year old daughter. We’re saving every penny to move out of our leaky-roof-moldy-attic rental so no gift budget this year. Anything (including good vibes for finding a new place in our budget) will be much appreciated by me and my nerdlet <3 http://a.co/2mjKFn2
@EJ #70 I purchased two items from your wishlist. My daughter has also been going through a rough year and is on hospital homebound services for mental health as well. One of your items may arrive after Christmas. It originally showed arrival date of between Jan 3 and 25th! I contacted the seller and they are sending it the fastest method they can, though they said shipping usually takes 10-15 business days (they don’t charge for shipping). Love to you and your daughter!

Allie P. – 1437 – Coat for Tess is ordered. <3 from Southwest PA!
Hello, posting again (1196 original post) for an 8 year old girl whose family doesn’t have much. An anonymous person was kind enough to purchase the blanket for her, but hoping someone can buy the pants or coat.
I only put one toy on her list, since her biggest need right now is warm clothing and pants that cover her entire leg.
Thank you for your consideration and reading this.
Have a blessed holiday season and a happy new year everyone.

Sondra…Don’t use the invite link or it wouldn’t work
This list is for 4 boys. George (4), James (5), Declan (7) and Ollie (8). None of them need coats, but George would love the Peppa Pig pajamas (one of the characters is named George, too). He is autistic and obsessed with Peppa. Night time is a struggle and getting into those pj’s might be an encouragement to him. James and Ollie love the outdoors and camping. The blankets would be perfect for them. Declan is a smart and serious boy, always reading, so the books are for him. They are my best friends children and she is a struggling single mom who recently left an abusive situation. She has been worried about Christmas and would be so relieved to have any help she could get. They are in New York state, USA.

Can we please get the last of our items fulfilled. It’s not much, I swear!
I’m a single mother of 4 sweet kids. I can’t really afford bills as it’s only me working much less Christmas. I made a wishlist and it’s well under the $35 limit for each kid, not including the jacket for each. I tried to chose one small toy and a book for each except for Natilee, I added a doll and some rattles for her. I try to make it to where I can get the $16 jackets for each because they really need them. If someone can help that would be really awesome. Thanks for doing this.

Ok, I went into the spreadsheet and noted on all the lists that were fulfilled, duplicates, or just crazy over limits. I hope this helps, if I can help finish filling it in with lists from posts I don’t mind doing that at all. I love data entry nonsense..it calms my inner crazy 🙂 I noticed that at least my list wasn’t on there and I’m sure there are many more behind me.
Thank you for this. I’m here to try and help my brother this year. He and his wife split and she took off with out any consideration for their kids or him. Hes been struggling to stay afloat since and Christmas is just out of the question. If there is anyone that might be able to pick up one or two of the kids picks I would appreciate it more then you know. He has 6 total ranging from 3 to 10. Three girls Kaylee age 7 Kira and Autumn 5 year old twins and three boys Asher 6 Cooper 10 and Dillion 3. I only placed one toy or dress per child because I didn’t want to seem as in was asking too much I know they are a large family. The shipping location is Lincoln Nebraska.
Thank you.

WOW so I am so F’ed
I asked a co-worker to help me after multiple attempts to post a working list. She msged me the link to my email, after she showed me it worked on her computer. I thought It was from my account as I gave her access to it to help me. I guess she must have been on her own account and sent me the link to hers. I knew she was thinking of making a list to get a few items for her sisters kids as she already had things for her kids, but wanted to talk to her husband prior to posting.
SO too many hours, Too little sleep. This momma is done I have the correct link here with my kids coats. I am begging on my knees and praying that someone will understand and help me out.
Jenny I am beyond sorry and understand if want to delete me and all my comments I
I only had access to my phone
Seriously I posted 4 times with non working links and then finally used the invite only to blow up emails all day long. It was a long night and I am late getting back to work, because I finally had a moment to read thru and see if there were any comments re my post. I am horrified I just can’t catch a break.
Seriously, this is the story of my life.
Last weekend I was at my work Christmas party and a young girl walked right into me with her loaded Ice cream Sunday. Smashed it all over my favorite sweater only too look up and see my high school crush standing 10 feet away laughing at me. (guess he wasn’t that cute after all)
I am sure it appears as though I am a complete and total scammer now. and well everything happens for a reason. I have been so busy that when she showed me it linked I didn’t even verify it was my own list. I live in Waterford MI alll I really care about are the coats for my kids.
This is the absolute correct link to my wish list.

Merry Christmas everyone! I love that this has been going 9 years! I donated a couple years ago and it felt great! I was hoping to this year but it’s been a rough year, we did donate some old toys to a local place. The kids loved the idea of helping other childrenI’ve made a list for mine with one or two gifts each to just try and ease some of my stress lol. If anyone would help it would be greatly appreciated. Last year I ask for anyone interested to send cards to the kids, they received a few and loved it! Excited every day to check the mail and see if they had any, hanging the cards on the wall they received! I think they enjoyed that more then anything lo,They are asking if they will get mail for Christmas this year, so I figured I’d try again! Anyone interested can contact me. Tjwalters15@gmail.com. I hope everyone has a safe and love filled holiday!

Holy Fireworks ha ha. I had heard about this site from a friend. I was like ok sure id do anything for my kid. So Im reading Jenny’s instructions on one browser trying to follow them on a different browser. Im fairly good with direction so I thought I was doing a good job. I came I posted…. I went to get a cup of coffee. I come back to the computer refresh browser because it was glitchy on amazon and the items disappeared. So I was back tracking thinking I did something wrong…. nope someone had bought out my kids list in the time it took me to go get my drink and come back. Then I cried for about 10 minutes and then sucked it up so I could post this….OMG seriously from the bottom of my heart thank you so much. Maybe Santa doesn’t work EXACTLY like my kid thinks he does but Santa’s elves kicked some holiday butt to make the magic stay alive for my Kid as well as many others. If Im honest made me believe in a little Christmas magic too! I love you guys, damn im crying again. Thanks!!!!!!
Seamstress, thank you for checking all of those fulfilled items on the list. Amber, I desperately need the work you did into the 1400s, or I have to do it again myself. Can you please send? Maybe I’ll start on it anyway? Thank you.
Good morning All,

Some of the comments yesterday were super passive aggressive. I get that it’s Christmas and many of the parents here are just desperate to get their kids gifts BUT this project is an act of compassion. Total strangers are digging into their pockets and filling wishes based on their heart and having the spirit of Christmas. Please stop with the guilt trips and the comments about how you won’t bother to post again and your kids are just going to go without. It’s unnecessary and just plain rude. There are people actively sorting through the posts in an effort to make sure no list is left behind. Also…..if you’ve had wishes granted please don’t delete the items off the list and don’t create multiple lists to try and circumvent the rules. Read the rules, create ONE list and stick to the $35 limit plus coats.
OK, I’m a big believer in this, and want to express, please STOP REPOSTING your lists. Stop adding after you’ve been helped. It’s not meant to be your whole holiday folks. I’ve got a helper or two and we are handpicking through each list, and when you see that someone have been given SO much, and others nothing, it’s pretty sad. Also, when you re-post your list, it’s like another 5 minutes of work to reconcile and verify what has or hasn’t been purchased. It adds up to many hours quickly. Be patient, and kind please. Thank you. – Serine
I know that I am late, so it may not be possible! I was laid off a few months back, and every year I think I can pull it off but playing catch up still hasn’t worked. This would be so appreciated so I can wrap a few extra gifts from Santa. I am back to work and hoping maybe going through the lists I can find something small to give to another family, because this is amazing and has been great to me before! Thank you in advance!

I’m actually not posting for my own kids, but for a group of kids at a drop-in center where I volunteer. We help with homework, offer groups all kinds of stuff (including, obviously, coloring and crafts!) and more. These kids are all low-income and most are from a single parent home and/or are passed from one parent to another. It would be awesome to be able to give each kid something small so they can have a little Christmas, unfortunately, I just don’t have the money to do much on my own. I’ve listed each initial with age with the gift(s) for each kid on the list. These will be going to some really happy kids in northwest Ohio! I tried to keep it to right around $10 for each kid so it isn’t too much for everyone (12 kids total). I asked them if they could have one reasonable thing for Christmas what would they ask for and went from there for ideas.
I hope this is the right link –> http://a.co/gbbhQ6s
MASTER LIST Updated into the 800s, I’m working as fast as I can, missing a helper, need helpers, you can request on the doc to be an editor and I can grant you access and you can take a block of comments to verify. I can’t do this alone, with my kids home from school today: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing
It is so much better having deleted lists this year. I’m skeptical too, especially of people listing so many children. It’s odd that your particular lists attracts HUGE families. Anyway, Angei #1200 said she would help you coordinate this — perhaps next year? Anyway, off to gift.
Keara @ 1358 Merry Christmas!
Jennifer Canterbury #531 some of your things will arrive Friday, others on the 21st and 24th. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
majorbedhead just go to the master list and request access to edit, and I’ll approve it. Help me please! I do this each year, and I couldn’t do it if someone didn’t help 🙂
Wait, each year of Booksgiving not James Garfield, this is a first, and I had no idea what I was getting into. One book is much easier than this.
I’ve lost my original comment somewhere back at the beginning…but I wanted to say thank you, thank you to the person/people that got my boy a coat and a turtle 🙂 He was #3 if that helps, and I hope you see this! He specifically asked for that ninja turtle, so he’ll be extremely happy!! 😘

Serine – That google doc was a brilliant idea!
I am so sad I missed the fun this year! Geez, take a little time offline and look what happens. But I am so glad you again brought joy to so many, Jenny. I was able to be a part of it last year and plan to be on my game again next year!
Replying to 1564:
Thank you so much Amy! It’s such a relief to know that she has a warm coat coming. I appreciate it more than I can express on a keyboard. Merry Christmas!
I’m so sorry for reposting, I don’t have my comment number. Thank you to the person or persons that bought the little girl items! The 10 and 14 year old boys have nothing, they only have two each on the list. I think one of them has a $37 total, that was as low as I could get with the offbrand Legos. Bless everyone participating, this is wonderful!

Serine I’m doing all this from my phone but I went to the master list and it’s not giving me an option to request to edit? Any idea how I do it? I can work on it when I get off work
This is from scammer A. Hardy, A. Leslie, A.H, #333; 339;874;1068; 1453; 1480 etc: You went on Amazon and changed your list to say: “I don’t know how to prove my innocence when the blog owner is convinced that I’m guilty. If you have clicked into this and would be kind enough to help my kids and nieces, it would be greatly appreciated!”
SERIOUSLY? And you changed your name to “Customer”?! Have you NO SHAME? You’ve been found out, called out, now please just take your ill-gotten gains and leave. People are on to you, Jenny was fairly nice to you, but I’m not going to be. Lady, there is proof. There is no proving your “innocence”–you are guilty.
How dare you come on here, try to gaslight Jenny and all the people who have spent a ton of money on you already. Beyond disgusting behavior.
There is something particularly slimy about going behind Jenny’s back and still trying to scam, especially since you know a lot of kids still need help.
Go away.
My husband was injured in a freak accident hanging our Christmas lights the weekend after Thanksgiving. He has a broken leg and wrist, which has prevented him from working. I have picked up extra shifts, but he is by far the bread winner in our family and We have dwindled thru our savings and I barely make enough to keep us afloat. We have 3 currently have 3 children Olivia is 6, Frank and Jack are 3, and I just found out last night that my IUD failed to work and I am pregnant.
So not ready for another one right now. I have been wavering between tears of devastation and happiness. I love my babies but this is just not the right time. I haven’t even told my Jason yet. I know he will be over the moon as he loves babies and we wanted more. I am freaking out because I still have an IUD in me and my OB’s office is unable to get me in until next week. Although they did agree to call if they can get me in any earlier. please pray for me.
The boys are all set on coats, but really need some new jammies and clothes Olivia is all set on clothes but I did add a pair of dollie and me matching jammies as she has been begging for a matching set. I kept the list simple and under budget thank you for doing this Jenny the world needs more Angel’s like you and your tribe.

What would help next year is limiting the wishes to those that parents are making themselves for their own family members that way we aren’t seeing a whole bunch of posts for my sisters cousins neighbors brothers co-workers niece or nephew. Special wants runs a wish list at Christmas for special needs children and their siblings and this year decided to limit to two wishes per child $40 max per wish and you have to sign up with your email and register to receive a wish. Signup period only lasts for a week in November and then it closes and the list is published and as an angel you can sort by city/state and name so that eliminates dishonesty. I believe they found a sponsor to donate their time and set up a basic website for them to do this.

I’m a single father of 4 beautiful and handsome children, so I have no clue what I am doing right now. I’m not the one to ask for help, but I seen this posted in a local facebook group, and thought I would give it a try. I can’t give my kids a good Christmas, but I can at least try right?
Serine23 im about to clock in, but my email is mom2xt@gmail.com if you want to add me or email me, I’d love to help you with the spreadsheet when im off work. That’s way too much to do alone, especially since we’re gonna get an influx on Friday. 💓

Worried momma original post # 574
As I’m scrolling thru to see if I have gotten any help for my babies I see so many that have and comments that are about scammers. That’s so sad. I only came for help for my babies and that’s all. No one else was added to my list or did I do multiple lists. Just one. Maybe I got lost in the shuffle of it all it can happen.
I’m just stressing and worrying here. I checked my list before I posted this and it’s still not been touched. If it’s at all possible please can someone help my babies too.
Thank you and God bless you all
Merry Christmas 🎄

Worried momma original post #574
I forgot to put where I was. Does that show how worried I am. 😞
We are in Missouri
574 you didn’t give any information about how many children you have, their ages or your location so when you click on the link no one knows if you’re asking for 1 child or 5 and can’t verify if you stayed in the $35 limit, there are duplicate items on your list too(two aqua mats) If you post some more information it would be helpful.
Thank you to Mon for the nerf and the unknown angel for the jacket. Truly, words fail me. If anyone from this wonderful group wants to keep in touch, please let me know. Jenny, I know this year has been…hectic…for the JGXM, but thank you for bringing us all together. The bad apples certainly don’t dim the essence of what is happening here. I know that for myself, I’ve never felt less alone.
Worried momma #574. You didn’t say how many kids you have, their ages, or where you are. Also your list is quite long, includes things over the $35 limit, and doesn’t note which child the item is to be gifted. People are skipping over folks who aren’t following Jenny’s instructions. Maybe update your request and fix your list?
Christmas magic is already happening at my house. Thank you to Mary Ellen for the train and to jamesjen for the Twister (medical bills for my 65 year old hips will be forwarded) and to the mystery person that sent the egg sorter and/or watercolor brushes. (four boxes and only two receipts) I’m #157
As becoming cliche so eloquently pointed out in post 1494, I know that Christmas means so much more than presents but little kids, believing in Santa, don’t understand why there are no presents for them and the stress that puts on the people that love these fantastic children is unbelievable. It breaks you and some of us are already broken.
To all the givers that relieved that stress for so many of us, thank you with all my heart and may all your dreams come true.

Hello, my name is Andrea, I cannot believe how amazing this site is and all the wonderful members of it. I have 2 kids a 14 yo boy and a 7 yo girl they are my world and unfortunately, I feel I have let them down this year. I lost my job in September due to being sick. and with losing my insurance most of the money I had is being used for necessities and doctor visits. I try so hard to give my children all they deserve but I just can’t do it this year, they do great in school and help me as much as they can and know we are struggling and are understanding but if any of you wonderful miracle workers could help give my children a huge Christmas surprise I would be truly grateful. My son loves astronomy. My daughter loves to read and spend time with her friends. I’ve added three items for each of them with the puzzle being more of a shared gift, I think I made under the $35 limit per child, I might try to find less expensive socks. Thank you for your time reading this and this wonderful site. Thank you from Andrea, Joshua, and Serena. Also, we are from Sonoma, CA.

My name is Crystal. My sister Nichole posted a list here for my kiddos. She said #466. (This is the list she made http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2JXMIIC4NSPIC) She told me she was doing so & I am/was so appreciative. She said I may need to come here & post paperwork to prove I do have kids because of people scamming others. I can’t find a place to upload pictures but I am not really good with computer stuff. I am also not sure about posting our court documents publically or our extra kiddos names because I need to protect their privacy. I would be happy to communicate this information via email if anyone would like to email me at crystalmay3385@gmail.com
Thank you, Crystal May

I’m just checking in again. I see the James Garfield Miracle is still going strong! That’s awesome! I’m sad to have seen posts about scammers, though. I can’t stand when people take advantage of other people’s generosity like that! Do those kinds of people know how much it hurts those of us who are truly in need?? I’d like to send a pox to their house, but I can’t because I’m a Christian and that’s not something we’re supposed to do. But still…A POX ON ALL YOUR HOUSES!!
There’s one item left on my daughter’s list, a winter coat. She gained a lot of weight because of her medications and has grown out of the jacket she got for Christmas last year. 🙁 I know it’s pricey, but with Ro’s texture, constriction, and inability to regulate her own body temperature issues, this is the one that fits the bill the best, AND is something she’ll like and wear. She’s currently walking around in her fairly thin school zip-up hoodie. Yes, there is a certain type of jacket she can wear in class. Actual coats are only allowed outside the classroom. Ugh. One good thing about her being on homebound instruction is that she doesn’t have to comply with these ridiculous rules. lol
Here’s the list again, if anyone would be willing to help. Or even an Amazon gift certificate for part of the price of the jacket would help. She’s always freezing, even in the summer.

Thank you to everyone who is participating in The Miracle. It’s probably the most loving thing I’ve seen with my own eyes in my lifetime. You’re all amazing, but Jenny is the Queen! Who knew a taxidermied moose could inspire so much in so many? lol
Clint 1608 – Thank you so very much! I am truly humbled and I hope I can pay it forward next year. You are an angel.

Hi, me and my 3 kids just left a very abusive relationship. I’m to scared to go into details I think my ex will somehow find me. but I have nothing for them hardly even clothes. One is a few dollars over the limit but the other two is way under so I hope the few dollars over will be okay. Even if they don’t get anything we are safe now and that all that matters. I don’t want to disclose my location but I am in the states no Canada

Kavisha you need to read the rules it’s a $35 max for items plus a winter coat if needed. You need to edit your list or you’ll risk having your post deleted.
Sorry don’t know why my comment posted so many times 🙁
I am post 30, and just want to say a giant thank you to everyone who filled the kids list! Most of the items were delivered this morning, and I just sat there and cried as I opened them. I can never thank you all enough. I tried to send thank yous through amazon, but couldn’t get it to work. Just know that I am so very thankful!
Kim! I sent thanks on Amazon but also wanted to say thank you here for the games & gloves for my kiddos! Their little chapped hands will thank you! They will love the games on Christmas! – I was in the 90’s somewhere maybe
Jenny thank you for this ❤️

Hi Serine23,
Can you add my wish list to the Google doc?
I was post 663 (reposted at 1041 with more details) and it looks like it was missed on the master list. I appreciate all you are doing so selflessly to help struggling families.
Our baby was born at two pounds, had a brain bleed and now has Cerebral Palsy and 14 specialty doctors to help him with his complex needs. He also has 23 hours of therapy a week so puts a big strain on finances.
Any help for our family would be amazing. The biggest priority is a jacket for my daughter as we share mine since she keeps growing (5’9″ at 13 and we live in cold Easton, PA).

@MomofFive #1394 YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY POSTS WITH YOUR LIST LINK IN THEM!! Please comment again, WITH YOUR LIST LINK in the comment. No one can help you if they don’t have a list. 🙁
Hello! I am putting in a request for my 4 kids. I have 3 boys ages 10, 8, and 1; and 1 daughter aged 5. I’m hoping to give them a nice Christmas this year as they have been extremely patient and loving with me as I work through some situational depression following the loss of my mother and best friend.
Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/L6UTAGEBVHJM
This list is for Tommy, age 14, who became a teenager somewhat overnight! He still likes to play with toys and games, but has gained 40 lbs, grew almost 6″, and wears a size 11 shoe, all since summer! He has goofy taste, loves weird stuff, and really needs a jacket (he REALLY wants that knight jacket, he leaves me hints almost every day!), shoes and a backpack! I’ve added some games and other clothing items and we appreciate this community SO much!
As for our family, we live in Tempe in the glorious southwest. My husband lost his second job which has put a scary dent in our finances, it has also put a huge dent in Xmas in general. I have 2 comorbid serious health issues: Stiff Person Syndrome and now Complex Regional Pain Syndrome that just keep getting worse and have left me almost completely bedridden which completely sucks and feels like it’s taken a huge part of my life away.
We are so incredibly thankful for Jenny and this community for the love and support that is always so prevalent here no matter what!
I hope this is the right link!

I think I put the wrong link for Tommy, this one should be right, fingers crossed.

Hey!! So my minds a mess..I have 4 kids.. There’s no denying it at this point. Iol. I posted this morning and did the individual wish lists for the kids instead of doing what I was told to do.
I FINIALLY GOT IT FIXED. SCREAMING KIDS AND ALL.
MY ORIGINAL POST is 1579 I’m pretty sure. Here’s the new one ..done the right way. I’m really sorry to everyone that’s trying to keep up with all this madness for making it harder on y’all. You all are awesome! Merry Christmas!!!

Juno thanks for being polite vs Angel telling me what i “need” to do. Yes I’ve read the rules and registered it differently. In no way I was intending to get everything on that list. This is my first time doing this… I took it as the items being donated were going to be picked thru that totaled $35 and not as in my entire wish list totaling out to a flat $35. Was referred here and wasn’t clear on full details. My apologies if I ruffled a few feathers. Now I will transfer to my other wish list and fix
A couple of things. First thank you so much. Someone purchased my baby a hat! Bless you!!
I removed the only toy for 30 and added a couple 5-10$ toys instead. That way she will have more to open. I also added a poncho instead of a jacket, it’s safer when she rides in the car seat and will help keep her warm. It’s cold here in Ohio.
Thanks again my 2 yr old baby girl will be warm in her hat. I requested a special one so she can’t take it off

Brandi #1286 Thank you so, so very much. Merry Christmas. ❤️
Helpful Suggestion – I really like your suggestion. Perhaps a: heads up this is coming up, and then a day to put your requests in or something, and then cut it off. I think it is fantastic about a site getting built. I think one of the wonderful things about this is that it is/feels personal, helping a family directly. I also think it is super crazy when people start asking for friends of friends, or their charities, etc. That’s just my humble opinion of course, and this is Jenny’s thing. She created it, and she should decide what to do next time, and what will feel best for her. Then we can all support her, and help her and her community. I also politely suggest that those who notice they have been scammed by this person notify Amazon, and cancel their orders. There is still time! Cancel them, or inform them of what has happened. Also, while I’d hate to suggest such a thing, this person should know that impersonating someone for financial gain, even willing giving is a crime. Just saying…
The MASTER List is updated through the 1400s!!! Go teamwork! Thank you all. Check it out here:

Hello I’m from las vegas Nevada. I’m a single mother of 3 amazing boys ages 11,14,and 15 . I am working however only part time so I have to save for rent and bills so I’m hopeful that there’s an angel out there that can help me make Christmas special for my boys.

Had to update our list. Some of the items were out of stock or not prime. Thanks for any assistance. had already posted above

(Original post 652) I cannot find anywhere who to thank for getting my oldest 2 kiddos’ wishes fulfilled, my son LOVES super heroes so much and has worn out his last set of capes with feeding tube accidents, falls, and the general wear that comes from taking them to the doctors office several times a week, he is going to be so over the moon, and my daughter plays with blocks like these every time her younger brothers’ therapists come over with them and has been saying how much she wants them for close to a year so she will be equally as over the moon ❤️ Thank you mystery person ❤️ I wish there was a better way to thank you 😊
Lisa 1635… wow wow wow thanks so very much!
Single mom with three kids. Any help would make Christmas a little merrier. One day we will be able to pay it forward

I’ve gotten through comment 1665 on the spreadsheet – still verifying lists but all the duplicates should be gone. It would be incredibly helpful if people would stop posting their lists multiple times. If you aren’t on the list, it probably means you didn’t follow the rules or each child is already getting something 🙂 . Be patient – this is a huge list 🙂
@amazon spouse, I don’t see mine up there, I thought I was comment 1094?

(Rayville, La)
We’re a low income family of 4. My boyfriend, 2 kids and my myself. I would love to be able to give my kids something this Christmas from Santa. They have been very good lately, especially recently because it’s so close to Christmas and they know Santa will be here soon. Anyways, I don’t remember what I put on the wish list last time except for jackets. This time, I’m just going to put stockings and stocking stuffers on there along with some jackets. I hope that is okay. Thanks for letting me do this. Thanks to all the ones out there playing Santa!
First I want to say Thanks so much to everyone. Secondly, I’m not sure how or why but I’ve had three items deleted off my wishlist. I’m not sure if I gave the wrong link or this is a new thing with wishlists. But the items were already purchased so I’m not sure if them being deleted by someone will cancel it. I guess I’ll find out in a few days. I just wanted to give a heads up in case it’s happening to other people.
Again, what we had purchased was great. I’m not trying to sound greedy or whiny. Just letting people know what happened on my wishlist.
oh i see, you didnt include anyone who had ANY gifts gotten? those are just lists that have not been fulfilled at all? i thought it was all lists with anything open! my kids each did get one thing but their second items and coats are still up there, so that makes sense, i thought it was all the open lists!
Hi all I wasn’t able to check on here yesterday, but I just went and looked and the girls coats had went up so much in price! So I added new cheaper coats on there with notes on the changes I made.
Both girls were lucky enough to receive 2 toys each and hats, although Im not sure what Kenzie is getting now since the mine craft toy now has a picture of a teddy bear? Has anyone else seen this happen?
I don’t see my post listed on the master list, I was originally post 1009 and reposted once @1251. If says if we arent on there we didn’t follow the rules, can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I believe I stayed within all the rules…
If there are any more elves available to help out with the coats our list is at http://a.co/4MpRR9H
♥♥Thank you, Merry Christmas everyone ♥♥
I am very late for this but got email late. Hoping there’s an angel that can help. I have 3 girls ages 2,4 and 5. We live in Txt. My list has 3 this all under 35. Any help is appreciated. God bless

I know I said I wouldn’t post anymore, but I have to say, y’all(I’m from NY, but used to live in WV, when I was 8, so I can say “y’all”) are really on top of things this year in making sure that everyone is following the rules and checking and rechecking lists to make sure that at least everyone gets something.(so don’t give up…for people that have not received anything yet…repost…not in an annoying way, like myself, but sometimes your list does get lost in the shuffle..and make sure you follow the rules) Very cool…and very grateful. I was happy with the lined sweatshirt and the card game, but then noticed someone bought my son the anatomy game (he says he wants to be a doctor, so (fingers crossed),except he doesn’t really like to study…hmmmm?…not sure how that’s gonna work…but hopefully this will get him started. Thanks again…Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!
I’m comment number 1289. I realized I didn’t say my kids names and ages. They are L, my oldest girl who is 16; M, my ‘big guy’ is 15; K, my ‘little guy’ is 10; A, my sweet and shy girlie is 9; and C, my baby girl is 7. I think my comment may have gotten lost in the shuffle, so I’m adding this comment. I hope that is okay. We would be so honored if there is anyone wanting to bless us. Here is our list:

@lisa 1682 i’m not sure either, I am fairly certain I followed the rules and I’m not on there either. It said something about if you received any gifts at all? But I know that whoever was first updating it was adding people with any gifts left?
Violet Sage – your link is to the customer service page – not a wishlist 🙂
how is that possible, other people purchased things…..
Hello, my name is T and this year was a mess. I got divorced, moved and filed a restraining order against my ex husband for stalking. I’m so proud of my girls for doing so well in school and helping out more at home. I tried to stay within the guidelines although I did add an extra item to share for 10. Please forgive me if I messed up.

Lisa – comment added that they need coats 🙂
So I am reposting my entire comment (1094) because I guess @amazonspouse is having trouble with my list? I am posting the ENTIRE comment as is above, which for me goes to a wishlist… i’m confused how it could not be working because other people bought my kids one thing each. i feel bad about reposting but if it’s not working im not sure what else to do?
Good day and thank you for letting us take part in this beautiful miracle. I am a domestic violence survivor in Portland Oregon who never thought this much happiness was possible. 3 years ago I was homeless and alone and now I am remarried with a home, a job, my children, and a beautiful future ahead of us. We have a big bill due in January and have no extra cash for Christmas but we would love for our children to avoid the effects of poverty during the holiday season. We have 4 kids: Z (15 boy), S (11 boy) , P (9 girl), and A (5 girl). We have added a few small gifts for each child and coats for A and Z, S and P have coats already. Thank you for any blessings you are able to send my kids’ way!
Here is our amazon wishlist for all 4 kids:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2RBI1UOCHPCKE
I’m happy to just add my own on there if it’s working now, I meant to be helping with this anyway and got busy/
FYI I am in a few deals groups online and this morning a lot of the ladies were having serious troubles with amazon reassigning addresses and all kinds of nonsense, so if you had errors earlier today it may have been an amazon error!
Violet – I added your list again with a comment that each child is receiving something. We are working as hard as possible to get every child at least something. I have literally spent over ten hours trying to get everyone on here and remove duplicates and check for fulfilled lists – Serine and others are also working hard. I have also brought this program to the attention of higher-ups at Amazon. We are doing the best we can.

thank you and I will fix it. Wish someone would of told me sooner. I’m just not thinking straight.
Fixing it now.

Hi all. I just saw that the spreadsheet was updated past my number (1185 & 1396) and I’m not on there…I can’t figure out why… unless the list is just for people who didn’t get anything at all.
Now I am wondering if I did something wrong by letting the kids all pick out their wish list together… They worked so hard on it. 🙁 (please see my original post 1185)
But if it’s possible, maybe someone could send just one more thing, because there are 2 small things that are on their way (thanks again, if it was you!)…and if there was at least a 3rd item, then they could each have something to open, even if they said they want to share everything.
Here’s my info again:

Hi there. I am Lenny from post 676/998. I so want to thank the generous soul who purchased the two dress shirts for my children. It means so much and brings tears of joy to my eyes. I only have 2 other items on my list for my boys which would be there “big” gift to find under the tree. They built there own desktops from the ground up over the last couple years as I have helped when possible. I have never been able to get them a proper gaming mouse or keyboard. Only used types and never anything exciting and good for their games. Unfortunately for some reason the prices on these items keep changing daily. I keep changing them to fit the limit but now can’t find ones that do. They only went up to $37. I hope that is ok and I apologize. Feel free to filter the purchases but please note previous items from last year as I used the same wish list that made Christmas so special last year. If anyone would be able to fulfill these 2 gifts it would be the highlight of my boys Christmas morning. You are all amazing and I thank you for your selfless generosity. Merry Christmas.

I wanted to post again and say thank you to whoever got the Browns blanket for Jason! The kids now each have something to open and I am so grateful! I went through and updated the kids lists because most of the items had gone up in price or out of stock. If anyone else was interested in helping us, we were post 718. Thanks again!
#748/#749 Everything but a few action figures were picked up which is amazing 🙂 but when I checked the list one of the action figures went from 10$ up to 25$, one was listed as Prime but wasn’t and the other was no longer in stock so I updated it to just 2 action figures. Sorry about the mix up and thanks again for this opportunity.
I still need some help. I got lost in the shuffles. We have a 6 year old boy and 14 year old girl in need of some help this year. I put together some things they both would like.

We are in Florida.

Hello Santa’s Elves and Angels.
I posted well before we hit 1000+ comments and my own children were granted. I work at a shelter and i made a master list with my clients. Is there a way we could seperate it into lists on my account and have them post their storoes since that seems to get more attention? We have tohave everything shipped to one address and don’t want to look slimy. 🙁

It really sucks that people scam this event but they will get what’s coming to them in the end. To the wonderful angels that make this event possible every year, please don’t let that harden your hearts. I will not post my list again but it is originally 1495. I understand that some of you might be skeptical of those of us with bigger requests/large children families. I have many pics on social media with my 5 children. I want no part of being a Grinch trying to steal Christmas from the needy. That’s really bad juju. Please keep doing what you are doing. I hope to be on the donating side of this in the future.
Megan #1366!!
Amazon screwed up and sent the coats to my address instead of yours. (And I have two 6-foot-tall boys so they’re of no use here! LOL) I just reordered them and you’ll have them by the 17th, but I wanted you – and everyone else looking at your list – to know, since your list looks like you got two of each coat, but you really are only getting one of each.
Pinky swear, Santas, it’s not her fault. This is her list and I promise she is only getting one set of coats: http://a.co/hSBwZ9I
So sorry!!!
I really hope I’m not late to this miracle party!
I am a single mom to 4 pretty great kids. This year, like every other, is tight. Not so tight that we don’t have food on the table but tight enough that “luxuries” like Christmas gifts are not a given.
I read all the rules and I’m not sure if it’s okay or not but I don’t have a mailbox – I’m at a PO Box address in a town called Ashton but since many places won’t deliver packages to a PO Box I have set the delivery address to my job in Franklin Grove. I hope that is okay?
My kids are:
Samantha (or Sammie), age 7. She’s pretty much into slime and watching videos of others making slime! I put some snow (for texture I guess?) on her list, along with a wallet to keep her “sale monies” from selling her slime. Also on there is a stand to hold her tablet as she watches slime videos!
Matt, age 10. He only cares about basketball – and some days I think he loves that more than he loves me! On his list is just a decal for his wall and a new basketball.
Josie, age 13. She loves to take pictures, of anything and everything. She was gifted an instant camera awhile back so I put one single gift for her on the list (a camera accessory kit) since it’s $25.
Ireland, age 15. There is no telling what this girl is into at any given point. Currently she loves accessorizing with jewelry so I figured a set of eyeglass chains would be a new thing. Also on the list for her is a soup (she LOVES corn) and a book about talking to cats.
I kept everything under the limit but I’ll try to watch the list to make sure that nothing goes up in price. Thank you so much for anything anyone can do, I know it’s a lot to ask and I can never express my gratitude even if we don’t receive anything. The fact that this movement exists and gives many hope is reason enough to be truly grateful. Merry Christmas!

Kayezie 1725, I don’t think this post is going to be the spot for you to post lots of lists. Opinions are like belly-buttons; everybody has one, but my thought is that it might work better to contact a church (or churches) locally to have the families “adopted.” That way it is easier to sort out and make sure that families get taken care of.
I’m comment #80. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to those who came together and made it possible for the children to have a Christmas. Thank you! Such small words, but they come from the heart. As a mom who worries about where our next meal will come from, having angels and elves out there who so kindly help strangers out, it’s nothing short of a miracle. Thank you to all who spread joy and make this miracle happen. Wishing you all the happiest of happies.
Thank you to everyone who filled my list! My kids are going to be thrilled and I can’t wait to see their faces!
Popping in to say thank you to Carolyn Chandler. Thanks can’t wait to get these wrapped up for them!
I am #1428. I hope i did the list right. I just picked 1 thing for each child under the 35 limit. I just want to think you for blessing families wether we get chosen or not. Its been a hard year for alot of people. And this helps make Christmas for all our babies. I will attach my list again to make sure i have done ot right.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some help for my children for Christmas. I will spare you all the sob story and simply say it has been a rough year for my family. I have 6 children and one has severe heart defects and the youngest was born with a few medical issues so it’s non stop medical appointments and juggling bills while praying it all works out. We are desperately trying to rise above it all. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Thank you to the angel or angels who picked up the games for all of my kiddos and the gift for my 5year old. You are all wonderful, kind people. Merry Christmas to all of you and all of the love in my heart. ❤️❤️❤️
My original post was back at #999. I have three kids, in Arcadia, La. My oldest daughter is 16, my son just turned 14, and my youngest daughter is 12. They’ve been wonderful about understanding our situation and thankfully are all well past the Santa age, but I’d still be so grateful to any elves here who could help throw some Christmas magic their way.

I added one toy for Asha but it leaves her well under the 35$ dollar limit

Bio mom of 2 (ages 1 month old and 2 years old) and step mom to 3 (ages 13, 18, and 19 but he is in college and we are just wanting a little something under the tree for him when he comes home for christmas it wont seem fair for his siblings to have gifts and not himself) after going into premature labor in October and our now 1 month old having to stay in the nicu for a bit longer after I was released from the hospital and our car crapping out on us in the same month, we have had financial crisis after financial crisis since, we havent even bothered decorating or putting up a tree yet cause we don’t even see a reason this year (our hopes havent been very high at all)
I do hope someone can find it in their heart to help us make a Christmas possible for the kids.
Thank you in advance

Lenny42079, the keyboards for your boys are coming your way. Merry Christmas!
Hello from Minnesota! I’m afraid I’m a little late to the party, but I am working on gifts for three boys. My own son who is 8 and my two nephews who are 7 and 10. It’s been another rough year (for many of us but 2019 is just around the corner so hang in there) but I am hoping to still put some fun gifts under the tree for these fabulously silly little boys! Any help at all is beyond appreciated! Happy holidays from a grateful momma!

I’m sorry I don’t want to disclose names and location after relocating from our abusive relationship I am in Illinois but that’s all I can say. If my kids can’t get a gift because of that we understand. My kid are very thankful there’s 2 things on here my oldest will share the gift that’s a few dollars over if that’s okay. Please keep us in you’re prayers as we get back on our feet. My kids deserve the world and I’m glad I’m alive to spend another Christmas with them….
We thought we had it this year, until a lousy road cost us repairs to my husbands car. We live in Justin, Texas, and only have one chick left at home. Stella is five. We foster cats and dogs, and she is terrific with feral kittens. I asked for playdoh and legos for her, because they keep her busy for hours and she loves them.
Her list is here. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1B31BQ8E3PZKB/ref=cm_wl_huc_view
Hi, everyone!
I’m asking for help on behalf of my brother (who doesn’t know I’m doing this). He has two daughters (aged 3 and 1.5 years old), but can’t get them anything for Christmas. He has a part-time job doing roofing, but it’s been really slow since November. I know he would love to have a few gifts to give them on Christmas.
I made a small wishlist based on what I know my nieces enjoy.
You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3C1U1TYZR2K4Z
The list includes 3 items:
– A Paw Patrol toy set for the 3-year-old
– A fine motor skills toy for the 1.5-year-old
– A set of jumbo building blocks for both of them to play with together.
Right now, the total meets the limit, but the Paw Patrol toy is currently on sale. If they raise the price to what it normally is, the total will be over the limit. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen, though. fingers crossed
The items will be delivered to Searcy, Arkansas.
Thank you for taking a look! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
P.S. Sorry if this is a duplicate post. My computer was acting funky and I can’t see my original, so not sure if it went through.

I’m not sure what to do to get noticed so I’m trying to post again and hold out some hope. I don’t have a super sad story.. but I’d love some help. I have an item as low as $7.
Hello,
I have 5 littles and 3 are adopted. I’ve added coats, hats and gloves for each. A few small toys. My daughter prefers to read so I added a book set for her as she is 16 and doesn’t play with toys. I hope that was ok.
Thank you for any help. http://a.co/dUmS2vV
This is my first year as a single mom to thre littles and this Christmas will be very different than years past. I am trying my best just to make it and make it normal for the three kiddos. We are in Ohio.
The kids really need snow boots and jackets band I added some toys as well.
My daughter loves stem.
My middle son has spd and loves fortnite and sports.
The baby likes dinosaurs.

Since I managed to mess my list up the first time and had to repost I just wanted to make a post with both of them on it in case someone is considering helping this mama out this year! I know there are ppl that need the help more then me but what’s on my list are a couple gufys for each of my children they really wanted and im not going to be able to get them. If I dont get my list filled I won’t be disappointed. I’m so happy so many ppl are helping each other!
Merry Christmas everyone! I love that this has been going 9 years! I donated a couple years ago and it felt great! I was hoping to this year but it’s been a rough year, we did donate some old toys to a local place. The kids loved the idea of helping other childrenI’ve made a list for mine with one or two gifts each to just try and ease some of my stress lol. If anyone would help it would be greatly appreciated. Last year I ask for anyone interested to send cards to the kids, they received a few and loved it! Excited every day to check the mail and see if they had any, hanging the cards on the wall they received! I think they enjoyed that more then anything lo,They are asking if they will get mail for Christmas this year, so I figured I’d try again! Anyone interested can contact me. Tjwalters15@gmail.com. I hope everyone has a safe and love filled holiday!
Hey!! So my minds a mess..I have 4 kids.. There’s no denying it at this point. Iol. I posted this morning and did the individual wish lists for the kids instead of doing what I was told to do.

Hey everyone! I just learned this was going on, so other sure if it’s too late, but I will give it a try!
I know my story is like a lot of people’s, it’s been a rough year, an injury and leaving an abusive relationship led to a lot of missed work, and I’m a single mom of 3 trying to get caught up. Also, this last month we were told we have to move, and I’m scrambling to be able to afford it. I know a lot of people are ahead of me, but anyone who is able to help would make 3 kids very happy. I have a 14 year old daughter, a 5 year old son, and a 1 year old son, we live in Hillsboro, OR.
P.S.- it put a big smile on my face seeing how many amazing people there are willing to help total strangers, and how many happy kids there will be on Christmas! You all are amazing.

@1775 Virginia, you need to assign your shipping address. 🙂

A gift for your grandson is on its way.
#729 and #748 your lists are completed. XOXO, The Stone Family
Ohiomom #1772 (and 666 and 1441 and 1548) deleted her original lists and now has posted a new list for her kids under a different username.
Only a few thing left on the list. They are cheap items because I didn’t want to ask much from you wonderful people. I wanted to get less so that others could get help too.
I’m not seeing my # on the list at all, but I have received a few things, I was just wondering if someone can help me get the rest of the things off this list. It’s not much, but I know my kids will enjoy it because they are so thankful for the things they have now and it’s not much!

Erica 1783, can you provide your link and I’ll tell you why?
Could just be an error Erica, we’re all working hard to keep the list up to date, and feeling friend, so it could be that it was on the list more than one, over the limit, or simply an error.
Actually I figured it out, corrected it. Thanks!
Clint 1636 Thank you so much for the scooter and pads for Ian you will make a young boy very excited. It took me while to find you but I did it. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas like we will.

Also sorry for reposting my list I just now saw the request not to. Please disregard it.
All fixed Erica. I’m done for tonight. Maybe the year… 🙂
I’m sorry and thank you for all you’ve done!!
Our toys have been gifted incredibly grateful for that. Posting our list here- its got boots (instead of a coat for my eldest 2) and a coat for my little girl. I am a mom of five who has gone thru a long 2018 and hoping for a better 2019.
Thank you so much for their toys- they will be so excited on Christmas

I can’t believe I found it! I’m a mommy to 3 AMAZING kiddos! My oldest is having a rough time with our divorce but he’s my rock, the middle guy is the absolute sweetest, smartest, most empathetic child I’ve ever met. He can heal a heart with just a hug, then there’s the baby AKA asshole! Yes, I just called my kid an asshole! I love him but holy hell im pretty sure his mission in life is to put me in a nit house! So anyway, In one year I’ve managed to find out my husband was a cheater, move back home to my parents with my 3 kids, finding a low income apartment to squeeze us into AND go from being a stay at home mom to working in a factory at $10 an hour. Anyone want to write a country song?
I am going to assume by all the comments that it’s probably wrapping up but I just heard about this at work and was there until 11. If I’m too late, thank you still to everyone for doing such an amazing thing here!

tonya (at 1781) dinosaur car things should arrive by the end of the week. have a lovely holiday!
I have edited my list so I am not over the limit. My 8 month old really doesn’t need much because he will be so happy with all the wrapping paper. I have one item for him and it is $35 to help him get ready to walk. Then he will be into everything!!!!
The for my 4 year with down syndrome I have an easel. I know it is a little over the limit but I feel like it will help her so much with learning her alphabet and numbers and so much more. She is non verbal right now and signs a lot. She is slowing learning a few words. I think she can say about 10 words but not clearly 🙂 We know what she is saying tho!
Then I also have smaller items under the limit for my older two.
I do have a booster seat on there because I need one terribly. And I will be able to use it for my four year old and my 8 month old in the future. I added the cheapest one.
I won’t post again and almost hate to post a second time because I see some people posting over and over and I know it is frustrating to go through 1800 comments. But in case my list was being overlooked I wanted you elves to know I changed it in case that is why you are passing it over.
If you just feel others need it more than that is ok too … God Bless and thank you!!!

Torrance- try editing the items in your list to add a comment on each which kid it’s for, that’s the only thing I can see, other than maybe people are just low on money and only buying cheaper gifts? Good luck, hon.
Huge thanks to the person who bought my little girl the Legos! She’s going to have so much fun with them.

So I asked the older kids what they miss doing that we haven’t done in a while and they said “The Christmas Eve Box”. So I told them in order for me to try and do that is take everything out of the cart here, and add some items for that.. They said they didn’t mind and would love to do this for the younger kids. So I redid the list and put pjs for all 4 kids, I did a size bigger because idk how this brand fits so if it’s too big, they can wear them longer is the way I look at it. I planned a Charlie Brown themed Christmas eve box. I think it will be really cute .If someone can help me get this tradition started back up, I would be so grateful. The two older ones already have a gift on the way and they don’t even know it. So that makes them even on gifts since I already had them one small gift and the others 2 each.

Post 1756. You did it!!!! I can’t Express enough how much you just made our Christmas. I have been so anxious and worried and now I know my kids will get an awesome gift and I can’t stop smiling knowing it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You are all so wonderful to help people in need and I’m so proud to be helped by such an amazing group of loving generous people. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and thank you to The Bloggess for making my Christmas hopes a reality.
A little late, but was told it’s still a possibility.
I have 1 child, 15 years old. We currently reside in Manchester Missouri.
Z (15) is an amazing artist, and loves drowning out every thing with her music or ppodcasts, and drawing. So we choose a drawing kit and head phones. Z is also in need of a coat, but has some sensory processing issues, so we choose a more fleecy hoodie jacket. We recently left my husband, we are staying with extended family, sharing a small room, and have little income resources at the moment.
I am disabled and currently awaiting benefits. If this is chosen, thank you to the moon and back. If not, have a great holiday and thank you for seeing us.

To whomever is doing the spreadsheet, I don’t understand the notes next to my link. Both the items are Prime and are gift cards for teenagers who don’t want toys not allowed? I could change it to a book my 16 year-old cousin might like instead. She wasn’t asking for much, I just really wanted something for her to open on Christmas day. Thank you.

Hi to all you lovely people working so hard to make Christmas bright for children around the world. I really do apologise for this, and I debated whether to post this or not. I couldn’t find my list on the master sheet – although it is possible I missed it because I’m not great with these things! I was number 964 and I have popped my original post and list down below. Please don’t think I’m trying to bog things down, I just think perhaps I made a mistake! I’m really worried about the tone of this post. Can you feel my anxiety shining through? I hope this doesn’t come across as rude or demanding, I’m so grateful for being here and witnessing this.
My OP:
My sister pointed this out to me, and if I’m not too late, I do have to ask for help. After a year of serious illness, I’m only just getting back on my feet now. My family are in no position to help me at the moment. We live in Winchester, in the UK. I have two sweet boys, 11 (A) and 9 (T). The 11 year old is really into fitness and sports, and my 9 year old loves to learn. They both love life and they are so helpful and so very kind. Anything would help, and I have been very careful to stay under the limit, as it’s not fair or necessary to go over. Neither of them need new coats, but I have added two clothing items that they do need. If this isn’t allowed, please accept my apology!! Thank you to everyone who considers me.

Goodness, I must have been hibernating! I almost missed James Garfield this year. (Actually the anti-anxiety meds make me zonk out in the evening, I’ve slept through entire hockey games) It must be time to round up some reinbears again, there should be a few still around even though most are tucked up safe for the summer, half their luck, if I could sleep through the summer I would!
But enough silliness, to the “A” family @ 1606 (I’m an “A” myself) there should be some bears lumbering down your garden path on the 15th and some more on the 17th, there’s always a couple who get distracted by a beehive or pic-a-nic basket! I hope this gives your cubs and cubettes (is that a word? It is now) a few smiles.
What am I saying, there’s never enough silliness, heck that’s why we’re here in the tribe.
Anyway, from my cave to yours

I originally posted on here and it was overlooked, then added to the “spreadsheet” but comments were entered on the spreadsheet in the wrong box indicating this was not for toys but clothes and stuff when that was not the case. I already got them Warm clothes like coats, sweatshirts, and sweaters from the local Savers thrift store. I was really hoping to pull off a Christmas miracle for a wonderful family in an apartment complex that I manage and make sure they have stuff to open on christmas.
I have a family of 5 ( a mom and 4 kids) who could desperately use the help this holiday season. All of the kids love legos. The oldest who is 13 and she loves the band Panic at the disco. The oldest daughter has been going through chemo treatments for awhile now and because of this the mom has been unable to work full time. Any extra money goes for medical bills. This family has missed out on birthdays this year due to lack of money I would hate for them to miss out on Christmas to. Ages of kids are 14, 13, 11, 11. All girls. I am hoping with your help we can pull off a true secret santa miracle for this family!! We are in St. Louis, MO

I know how crazy it’s getting in the comments so I’m not reposting my list. I just hope it isn’t getting over looked because of how many kids I have on it.
I am a mom of 7, yes I know that’s a lot of kids, plus we have 3 nieces and a nephew living with us because their mom recently passed away. While the family/dcs is trying to find their dad and work out custody issues, they have a safe and warm place to stay.
I invite you to my blog, if you’d like to read about it. No I don’t make money off the blog, it’s small and not sponsored. Yes, everyone on my list is in my house, I did not ask for anything over limit, and only have coats/socks on for kids that have none this year.
I am helping to moderate the lists, and see so many that aren’t following the rules, I just hope after everything is said and done and settled this holiday, that no child has to feel sad without anything to open on xmas.
Happy Holidays y’all!
#1827 you have 6 kids but you have 11 wishlist connect to you wishlist you posted. The rules state $35 dollars a kid.
Hi, I think we got lost somewhere. If you can help, we’d appreciate it.

The doll bunk bed was no longer avail. 🙁 so I added a different one to the list (Ileft the old one so you could see that I am honest.
Most important on my list is the coat for my oldest.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/29P43BPCOBUCP
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love you
I just found a less expensive coat. It is still a lot though at $65.99. I feel so awful asking for such a big gift. But maybe someone can help since it is less expensive now. Hard to find a coat that is warm for basically an adult sized body!
My daughter is only just 13 but she has shot up to 5’9” tall. Last winter was spent with my Cerebral Palsy warrior at a rehab hospital for 89 days. He had major complications with Influenza B and pneumonia. He had a solid week of 105 plus fevers and constant destats even on 4 liters of oxygen. He still needs oxygen almost 8 months later because of this episode in January.
Since I never left Evan alone during his 89 day stay at the rehab hospital, I just gave Bethany my coat. But we live in Easton, PA and it is cold. We have been sharing mine but with 23 hours of weekly therapy and 14 specialty doctors to help Evan with his Cerebral Palsy it isn’t working well this winter. Her coat from two years ago is a joke on how small it is!
Can anyone help? Ignore the other stuff at under $35 per child if that is easier. Just need the coat. None of our list was purchased yet, but I’m glad so many have been helped. Many thanks for your consideration!
I was 663/1041.

Jenny you are amazing for doing this, Im so happy to help out so many people. Jenny said $35 for each kid so that means pick items cheap, I have seen so many list with expensive items for kids. I see alot of people wondering why no one has purchase any items. Fix your list with cheap items.
I’m not seeing my link on the list anymore 🤷🏽♀️ Everyone have a Merry Christmas https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3FFWGLVOSW9WH

Thank you to the angel who sent the Koala family for Olivia. She asked Santa for a pet Koala this year, This is an excellent alternative and she will be tickled to have her vary own Koala family.
Frank and Jack have mostly clothes on the list as they have out grown/ worn out nearly everything they have. I only put 1 gift each for them and kept the toys well under budget in hopes to offset what they need the most.
The Ob’s office called back yesterday and appoligized for putting me off til next week. I have an appointment at 2 today. I am still very scared, and pray that everything will be fine with the baby. Just a little scared and overwhelmed at 1st. I am waiting to tell Jason until after I see the Dr. today. Please keep me in your prayers.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Thank you soooo so very much to whomever bought the gifts for my children! It’s a huge, blessing! I felt like it was Christmas for me yesterday receiving the packages in the mail! I hate to be a beggar and I’m not trying to be but there is one more item and a few jackets on my list. If no one is able, I 100% understand! I don’t want you to think I’m not grateful because I am!!! Thank you sooo much again for everything 🙂 Merry Christmas 🎄

Posting again because im scared nobody will buy any gifts for the kids. Iknow theres alot and i apologize lol!!!! I tried to do one affordable present each, instead of the 35 dollar limit. Even just gifts for the youngest would be a miracle. Thank you and god bless.

Original post #1730
I saw a few of the items I picked had gone up in price but I wasn’t able to change them at the time. I thought maybe that is why my list wasn’t touched but I saw this morning that those things have dropped back down in price and are below the limit again. Maybe wishes will come true?
Thanks Bloggess community, and for anyone who blesses us with help this year <3
Gloria here #1333 just would like to say thank you to the angel that bought a gift for each of my child on my list http://a.co/53wbfK8 thanks to you they will have a present to open im so forever greatful because of you thank you and God bless
Our toys have been covered which is a true Christmas miracle. But if there’s anyone out there willing to buy the “boring” stuff Brooke could really use a coat- hers is way too big. I have the least expensive warm one I could find listed. I have rain boots listed for Asha and Bryce instead of a coat. We walk to school everyday so good waterproof boots are very important and their current boots are cracking (which kinda defaults the waterproof idea) If there’s any angels out there for warm stuff they would be so appreciative. ❤
I have 5 kiddos and we are in new Mexico
http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3BZUELKB1UYIY
i might be too late to post, i hope not, but what a wonderful thing you are doing
http://a.co/htJT2Te
I am probably too late but you do not know unless you try… Thank you for this chance
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/NVA7CF3V435B
Anissa T (1835) I was able to buy the jacket and the toys for the other two kiddos. Hope that helps! It looks like the items are going to be shipping separately but you should receive them before Christmas. Best wishes for you and your family!
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you Anonymous! This is an amazing gift. I was just about to give up hope. You have blessed our family so much. I would have been thrilled with just the warm coat for Bethany as that was a true need. The two toys are going to bring huge smiles though. I am hopeful the toy helps Evan start taking some steps since it is a huge motivator at PT. he is my Cerebral Palsy who warrior never stops trying even with his body limitations. His smile is the best and makes all of his complex medical needs easier to handle. Connor is going to love the beyblades (plus they are indirectly helping him with his fine motor skills). This is unbelievable, you are a true angel. You have greatly blessed our family.
First off, although I never found comments specifying who filled gift card wishes on the list I set up to help our friends, I want to excitedly say that all of those gift card wishes WERE filled, and on behalf of my son’s bestie and his little sister, we are very grateful! They are great kids and were soooo thankful for the help we were able to round up for them last year, but being teens they have this habit of continuing to grow, so…here we were again! (Actually, they all arrived in one envelope from Amazon, yesterday evening, so I will wrap those up and bring them to our friends probably this weekend, along with some food we collected for them.) I did add more gift cards to their list, but only because there is another online thing similar to this one that I plan to share it with, just in case another community has the goodwill to spare them. It’s not like they are going to stop growing any time soon, so I’m sure the extra money to buy more replacement clothes will come in handy, all too soon. The fact that earlier gift card wishes were fulfilled should still be visible on the Amazon list. I just wanted to be clear about that!
The DVD and camera card for my son haven’t arrived yet, but I will try to post when they do, so that our Santa knows they got here. He doesn’t know that he has cause to be excited yet, of course, but I am!
If anyone is somehow still looking for wishes to fill, another one of mine for him is still among those hopefully waiting. I had originally listed a book and another movie, but with Jenny’s note I realized that between creating the list and posting it here, the book had stopped being sold through Prime, and the movie was only available as an add-on item, so it didn’t work well as something to be picked out for this. I swapped those two out for another book my son has been wanting. I also added a snow boots/glove set in the place of a winter coat, because when he went through another growth spurt earlier this week, I had a thrifted coat stashed in his new size, but didn’t have any boots or gloves ready and waiting — and footwear he needs new, because of gait issues he already has, related to his disability. If anyone is able to help with those, too, I’d be even more grateful. I had galoshes he can wear, but while they keep his feet dry, they don’t do anything to keep them warm.
I’ve quickly realized that I will probably not get help this year and that’s ok. Lots of children have gotten help that deserve it and that deserves a big smile and Thank you to those who donated.There are lots of very awful people who have posted gifts over the limit,added gifts after some being purchased. My message to those people is I honestly pray one day you pay it forward and hope you sleep well knowing many children here will not even have 1 gift to open. We all want the best for our kids however when it’s at the expense of other kids Its not very fair. This gift would have been the only one my kids would receive. I tried to get help at the school but they had no help left. After endless calls to find a solution I opened my email and seen the blog I came across had a miracle. Jenny’s post here made me so happy and I came in late and seen all the people who had helped and all the grateful families getting help. I had hoped that this was a miracle I had prayed for. However I’m coming to realize it’s probably not and maybe a sign I need to go out and do something and try harder so my kids will have something under the tree.. I am praying each and every family here that didn’t get the help they needed also keeps trying and keep moving forward in life for your children. This is my last post and I’m not going to check my list anymore. If there is an angel out there that can help and something shows up on our doorstep I will be grateful and make sure my children know that there is an angel that Chose to bless us this year. If nothing shows up I will continue to tell them that we still had an angel bless us this year because we are still together and alive and being able to love everyone no matter what. I may be rambling in this post. I am in tears happy for those who received, sad for those who didn’t and overwhelmed with the angels who gave what they could. With that said, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a big thanks to Jenny who not only gives her time into putting this together but also donated to children. You all are so amazing. Here is my list one last time. I will pray for a miracle and hope for the best. God bless all of you. There is 1 toy for each of myb3 kids all under 30 dollars each.

Anissa — I know we’re only two among many special needs parents that posted here, but I just caught your update comment since I posted my own update comment, so I want to offer a hug to a fellow warrior mama. 🙂 Everything is easier when they smile, isn’t it?! My Jamie pretty much always has a twinkle-eyed grin and a giggle unless he’s worried about someone else, and I swear, it’s not just one of his super-powers, it’s at the heart of mine.
We’ve had a very long couple of days, but I wanted to pop on and thank whomever fulfilled our list. Whether it was one or multiple elves, the sensory items and shoes for my littlest love will be put to good use, and she’s going to be so excited to have kitty socks!
The squishy and hair ties for my biggest love will be much appreciated! She has “Hermione hair,” and she loves putting it in braids or buns to tame it. And I suspect the squishy will be a sensory item for her, and not just a toy. Middle school is rough, and her anxiety is high.
There aren’t enough words or ways to be able to thank you. Please know that these girls are real, deserving, and you have helped make their Christmas.
Blessings, love, and gratitude,
Angie/830

Hello! I’m from comment 1125 in NC thank you to whoever took the time to make the Master list.
Thanks to who bought a book for my oldest. I have 2 girls and we spend a lot of time in the car going to my older child’s therapy and had to update one of the items because the other sold out of stock already. Thanks to anyone who may still be able to help with those or a coat. Merry Christmas to all!

I’m the same one that purchased your younger children’s coats. It really weighed on me that I couldn’t get the older boy’s coat. So I did some rearranging and was able to get it this morning. Delivery should be Saturday, December 15.
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas ~ from South Carolina
I saw the wallet for my Sammie is no longer available:( I put a different, cheaper option in hopes it’ll be available in case an angel decides to gift it.
Thank you!

Good Morning 🙂
My original post is 900, I don’t see myself on the master list so I thought I would post again in hopes that someone could maybe get the toy for my boy, he is the only one not gifted, or possibly help out with the coats.

Oh my goodness, I just noticed a few of our gifts were purchased! (1777) thank you so much to the Secret Santa that did that! We love you!

Thank you so much for facilitating this blessing for people. This year I am in need, but I pray next year we can come back here and help be the givers! I have four kids, so my list looks huge, but I’m not trying to be greedy. I have put two “fun” things for each kid, as well as a pack of socks and underwear for each kid, and a game for the family. Thank you to all who help all of us on here who are struggling this year. God bless you all and have a Merry Christmas!

Sorry, I posted twice to Dona. I didn’t think it took the first time. 🙂
Looks like the list is current right now, but I’m checking again. Thank you The Stitchress, Shan G, Amber, Julie, Kasey, Kawaii… hope I’m not forgetting anyone. This was a good trial run at a Google Doc, and seemed to be fairly successful! Also, good news, only 119 lists left on the master list! Woot!
Hi – this posting is on the approved “master list”. Originally posted as #1568. I checked this morning to see if the boys had received any Christmas surprises (they had not) and noticed 1 of Declan’s (2) books had gone up in price, so I subbed it for a less expensive one.
This list is for 4 boys. George (4), James (5), Declan (7) and Ollie (8). None of them need coats, but George would love the Peppa Pig pajamas (one of the characters is named George, too). He is autistic and obsessed with Peppa. Night time is a struggle and getting into those pj’s might be an encouragement to him. James and Ollie love the outdoors and camping. The blankets would be perfect for them. Declan is a smart and serious boy, always reading, so the books are for him.
I shared with their Mom, my best friend, about the miracles that are happening here. She is hopeful there may be some help for her boys. Christmas blessings to all.

Serine23 – can you kindly remove my posting (#1568) from the list. I just got back from my work XMAS lunch were I was given a small bonus – enough for me to purchase the items for the boys myself, and possibly help another family or two. Thanks for your diligence in helping Jenny with this wonderful project.
Dear Secret Santa –
We can’t thank you enough for your kindness in donating some much needed items to our foster sons. Though we made it a point to get them each the 1 fun thing they wanted “from Santa”, it was more difficult to come up with the money for the not so fun things they NEEDED – like the socks, underwear and deodorant that you so graciously provided.
Having good hygiene not only helps keep them healthy, but eliminates the teasing and bullying about being dirty or smelling bad. One less thing to worry about can make all of the difference in their success in school and life. So THANK YOU to you and to all of the other wonderful people who took time out of their busy lives to make a child happy💕
Well I never got a response about the wishlist mixup. You see I posted my wishlist from last year, just changing the name of the wishlist. So it showed purchased items but those were all from 2017. There are actually only 2 items for this Christmas. ANYWAY, I’m super bummed but it’s okay! My friend found this charity that may help. I’ve sold some crochet and that might help. (Though most likely that will go to rent.) I’ve got tons of job applications floating around. Hopefully we’ll manage to get the rent paid and get insurance soon. -fingers crossed-
Despite the mixup and confusion I still think this is a WONDERFUL thing to do and I appreciated the help so much last year. Thank you for all you do! <3
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! <3
Again I’m sorry for the confusion. Hopefully I won’t have this problem next year and will be one of the people donating instead. 😉
I have a 13 year old daughter who is pansexual and is judged for it, she this is for her. Thank you to anyone who helps, and happy holidays to everyone!

I hope that I wasn’t to late to add my wish list to your The Bloggess on Facebook. I’ve never done this before and I’m a single mom of 5 and my children will not have a Christmas. Their father has walked out on us an now I have to take care of us all on SS & SSI with some food stamps. I’m in hopes that I’m not late on the wish list from amazon. Is there away that we would know if we were picked to get help ? I see that there is many people struggling but, we all have different issues. Two of my children have autism so my life is and has been very hard. It’s so nice of you to want to help people and their families that are struggling. I certainly would be more then willing to give back to project night night. Is there away that someone would able to tell me if I’m to late for the help?
Thank you & god bless
Ugh did it again I am so stressed I can’t do one simple thing. We are in ILLINOIS

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right I wish that I had help.
Hi my name is Amanda S and my original post is #1743 but I shared an invite link by mistake. I am sorry I never did this before. Here is my link …. http://a.co/a3aQi8D
I don’t see my children’s list posted on the masterlist and I’ve noticed there are a couple Amanda’s on here too which is confusing. I am starting to worry my children might be getting overlooked by mistake.
I have 6 children and live in Northeast Pennsylvania.
My oldest and youngest children are boys. The oldest is Ed and he is 13. He absolutely adores his little brother. My youngest is William and he is 2. He was born sick and was in the NICU for a month. He has been in and out of the hospital a lot in the last two years. He is one of the happiest little boys for all he has been through.
Cheyenne is 12 and my CHD warrior. She was born with severe heart defects and to date has had 6 open heart surgeries and a pacemaker implanted at 4 months old… She is a strong little girl and continues to defy all odds and prove her Doctors wrong.
Hailey and Nicole are 9 and 8 and are the sweetest little girls who always try to help out wherever needed.
Lynn is 5 and she is my wild child. If you ever seen the movie problem child 2… my little Lynn is like Trixie lol. She has ADHD, level 3 autism, and issues with her vision which might require surgery to correct. She has sensory needs and truly struggles with the world on a daily basis.
My children are my whole world and I wish I could give them the world but right now my hope is that we can give them presents under the tree this year.
It’s been a rough two years with 3 of my children especially the two youngest with all the hospital stays, medical expenses for the baby and the problems we faced with Lynn. We fell behind on our bills and were close to homelessness and on top of that my grandmother who was my everything passed away from cancer four days after my birthday and at the same time my transmission in my vehicle died right around the same time too making things even more difficult for us. I often feel like nothing ever seems to go right for us but I try by best to remain positive for my children, it just breaks my heart that my children have to go through all of this.
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read my post and thanks for considering my family. I understand we are a large family so my children with be happy with whatever. If they are not chosen for some reason it is okay too.. I am happy for all the families that were chosen. Christmas isn’t all about the presents anyways.. The people we share it with are what truly matters. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
Jenny is their something on your page that lets people know if we are being considered for the Christmas help

Family of 5 I do believe that I did the wish list right in every child I put age and 5 in the family plus city & state. The one thing I didn’t understand is to where it gets sent.

Well, I’m pretty sure amazon is trying to put me in a padded cell! I’m Jessie from post 1800 last night. Amy was kind enough to let me know that an item for each of my kids went unavailable prime so I worked ALL NIGHT trying to fix it. Nothing would load to my list. So, this morning I’m on the phone and they inform me they have no clue and I’ll just have to make an entire new account. I literally logged in and out, tried another device and did the old “turn it off and back on” trick still just kept getting the loading circle. So here I am finally got it together. I only put 1 replacement on for each of the kids. Also, I’m at comment 1800 so you can go see what was on there. I didn’t delete it so nobody would think I was doing something wrong, I know I’ve seen some shadiness and it makes me sad for the ones who could really use the help. Lastly I searched for an hour through over 2,000 pair of boots and I put the cheapest one I could find on there. There were much cheaper ones yesterday but these are $34. If anyone decides to help, I’ve managed to pull $16 together. I know it isn’t much but I can PayPal someone that before you order to help? I appreciate all the angels on here and sorry for the long book lol.

Brandee! Thank you!! And a huge thank you to whoever purchased the drawing kit for Z! (It hasn’t updated that the coat and head phones have been purchased yet, but I’m sure it will soon!) According to the comments my child’s list & coat have been all purchased! Thank you all, and you Jenny especially

I am seeing a lot of comments from people saying they’re not sure how this works or if they did it right…. Guys if you just scroll up to the very top of the page, Jenny give very detailed, step by step instructions. If you’re not sure, go back through the checklist and make sure you did everything, that’s the best way to make sure your kiddos get help!
For post 1743 & 1911.. I hope this link works. I read the directions but I am using a phone and I couldn’t figure out how to share the link so I posted the invite instead. I’m a mess. Truly sorry for everything.
https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3VKR5UV6VMHBC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_mt__wl
LMM you are amazing thanks so much he is going to love it!!!!!! 😃😃😃
I am really thankful for all the angels in here. My kids have each gotten one gift. I apologize that the coats I picked were spendy ish, we need waterproof coats and i was having a hard time finding “prime” coats in their sizes. If anyone is so inclined to further help, I think the boys (Z and S) are more in need than my girls right now, only because a few friends have picked up some random small things for the girls and boys are harder to boy for. We are post 1094. Please don’t feel obligated.
Also I am in Portland Oregon and if anyone in the area is in need of food or toys or clothes in good condition my kids have outgrown, I am so happy to help and share the bits we have. Anyone in the area in need is welcome to tweet me and I’ll help however I can. I’m also a “professional adult”, virtual assistant and am happy to donate my services to anyone who needs it on this thread, help with proofreading or editing or social marketing or finding resources in your own community. I know it’s not much, but it’s what I have.
Project Night Night it is. I’ve done this the past few years but the posts just seem too scammy. Originally the Google Doc showed duplicates but now it doesn’t. I went through ten posts near the end and all of them were WAY over the limit. WAY.
J wallace I didn’t see many over the limit, maybe they were multiple kids or coats? coats dont count towards the limit and i think people are supposed to note which kid each thing is for?
Khyrsta (#1317) last book on its’ way!
Kate #1653 you are amazing! Thank you so so much. I can’t wait to see my kids’ faces Christmas morning!

Hey Hey!
I wanted to get my list out once more if that’s okay. Mainly because some items were listed as not available now. I’ve updated the list to included a new item for Sandy. I’m original post 827.
Rosie is 3, Sandy is 5, and Jacob is 10. Sandy is my niece, but I recently took her in because my sister is hospitalized after a bad car accident. Anything is appreciated. Thank you

How do we get on the official list and who decides that?
Brandee Lancaster #125, I was just notified that UPS can’t deliver your pkg because of either incorrect street name or street number. Can you contact me so I can get them the correct info: southernsyren@gmail.com
#1198. Thank you so much to the ones that fulfilled my wishlist. There was only one item left and I went ahead and deleted the entire list so as to take away from someone else. You have no idea how this truly touched and helped my family. This is something truly magical to participate in, without it we would not have been able to do Christmas at all this year.

Hey Everyone! My original post is #474, and my fixed post is #1595.
This is my third post however, I am just posting here because I am not sure if my list got lost in the files or if perhaps I had did something incorrect? Nonetheless, I am humbly requesting assistance for this Christmas so my girls will have something to open on that morning.
Thank you!

@turtlesong Thanks so much – my nieces (and my brother) will be so happy! Happy holidays to your family as well! 😀
Heatherlee and Z, I don’t know what happened, I had the coat and headphones in my cart and thought I completed the order but when I just went to Amazon to ck another order, I see two items in my cart and it says that the coat would be a duplicate order, that someone had already bought it. I have no idea how I didn’t complete the order earlier but apparently I didn’t. I did send the headphones since those were not purchased yet. Don’t want to take credit for something when it turns out I HADN’T actually bought the coat after all! If it’s some weird Amazon glitch and it turns out the coat wasn’t purcahsed, post on here and I’ll get it for Z.
Hello,
We are in need of some assistance for christmas. Its been a hard year for us. My husband broke his ankle and was out if work for a while. I have chronic illness and recently found out about a heart condition. My 3 kids all have some mix of Austism, ADHD, and SPD. They are very sweet kids and dont ask for much. We appriciate anything your able to do. Thank you.

Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3FIU19FWZVW5Q
I don’t have a sad story, and thankfully my child is not sick. He is healthy and he is on the honor roll and I am super proud of him. I am so grateful for these things.
Some others have it worse than us.
Things are just rough this year, no different than any other. Things are always tight at Christmas time.
Jared is 13 and I’ve tried to make a list of things he has asked for. He has known Santa isn’t real since he was 8 and that has made things easier and harder for me at the same time. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Hi all. I won’t post my list link again–the ladies working hard on the spreadsheet don’t need more confusion.;)
Thank you to Sonje who bought the Uno cards for the kids. Unfortunately when the package arrived today, it was not the cards, but a combination lock (thanks Amazon?).
Anyway, I’m now down to only one of my 3 kids getting a gift. I added it back on my list (that’s why it says quantity 2 now) and took out some items where the price went up and put in some lower priced things, hoping maybe someone can get something smaller for the other 2 kids. Even though they made the original list themselves, I know they will be happy with anything.
Search for my original post 1185 or 1396 on the spreadsheet, if you can help. Warmest thanks and Happy holidays!
I just learned about this earlier today and hope I am not too late. I’m a single mother of two beautiful girls, Tracy who is 16 and Angela who is 17, and they’re in dire need of winter jackets. I’ve taken the city bus to the Salvation Army a couple of times but they’ve all been picked over and have no women’s coats in XL or XXL. My list currently doesn’t have winter coats on them because I’m having a hard time finding them on Amazon that aren’t at ridiculous prices. Any time I find one and select XL or XXL the prices are over 60 dollars and that’s not fair to everyone else here. If someone could please help me find some cheap coats to add to my list please let me know as I will be checking this website off and on. God bless and Merry Christmas to all you kind folks.
Audrey comment # 1938 Update
We’re in Euless, TX
Hi, my original comment was number 1289 and my second comment was number 1686. I checked the master list that has been posted and updated several times but neither of my comments are on it. I double checked my Amazon list (which only has 2 things on it for each of my kids and I’m under the limit for each kid) to make sure nothing wacky happened with the prices. I think perhaps I got lost in the shuffle, could I please be added to the list? I would be so thankful! God bless!
My original post for my three kids was back at #999 (12 & 16 year old daughters and a 14 year old son, in Arcadia, La). We aren’t all that interesting, but our details are in that first post, for anyone curious.
JZ, I just saw your comment at 1751 and wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU for your help! They really are awesomely fun kids – and awesomely weird, as you could probably guess. 😛 Merry Christmas to you, too, and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season to you and yours!
If anyone else purchases something from my kids’ list, please mention my name, city, or #999, so I can easily find your comment and won’t overlook thanking you!

Not sure if I was overlooked but I am looking for a little hello to fulfill my kids wish list.
My name is Krystal and I am asking for help to complete my 6 children’s Christmas List. My husband has suffered health issues this past year, and I have been struggling working two jobs to support my family and preparing my son for college next year. I have 4 boys and 2 girls. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

a couple of Santa’s elves-OMG thank you so much. This is truly a blessing to me and my baby girl and i am eternally grateful. I will alway remember and cherish this. You guys are so amazing. Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to you and family.
Hopefully next go round I’m able to contribute to other families. This is so amazing
Patricia #1909 – I tried to buy the MP3 player for your son but it will not ship to a gift list address- is there another kind he would like instead? The Shopkins dolls were not prime so I had to substitute another Season 10 pack, I hope that’s okay. They should all arrive on the 15th. Merry Christmas!
I just want to say thank you again. I’m Julie from Little Rock, AR. I recently lost my fiancé after dating for 14 years. We have an 18 month old who was in my fiancé’s lap when my fiancé died. My poor baby was slapping joey and trying to revive his father when I found them. I’m not looking for pity, but I just want you all to know how grateful I am. Thanksgiving was hard. I know Christmas will not be easy either. I wasn’t married and I don’t live in a common law state. I’ve been a stay at home mom and unfortunately my fiance did not have life insurance. He was a great man. He did cancer research in multiple myeloma and his research was approved for clinical use. Once that happened he co authored a peer reviewed medical article on gene expression. However, things went south and he lost his job over money. His company hired a new cfo and decided my fiancé made too much money. They fired him for no legit reason. He lost all of his shares the company gave him for his hard work. It broke him. We were left with nothing. Prior to his death, he had been doing lawn work and landscaping to get by. Our house went into foreclosure and I almost lost it. It was scheduled to be auctioned off and I was able to pay the fees just 30 minutes before my deadline. know my son is aware of what happened to his father, and it breaks my heart. I miss my fiancé joey every single day. I really am overwhelmed with your generosity. I can’t thank you all enough for your help this year. You’ve helped me out tremendously and I will never forget that. Thank you again to such a wonderful community. I am very grateful for Jenny, also. I reread furiously happy after joey died and I found it to be very comforting. Thank you so much and I sincerely wish you all the best holiday ever!

Jenny I certainly appreciate you and your angels for making this Christmas happen for families that are struggling this year like myself. It’s very hard to make a Christmas for my kiddos and two of them have autism. Their father decided to leave us before Christmas this year making it hard to pay bills, car pmt and not alone food on are table every night. I can’t make Christmas with the income that I have coming in each month. Again Jenny thank you and your angels & god bless
Thank you so much for the gifts for my babies! I am sobbing right now… I got off the phone with the tow company after finding out I won’t be able to afford to get it back until next payday and the storage fees are added $50 a day added daily. I cried feeling so defeated then checked my list and the tears turned to gratitude and joy! Thank you so much with everything in me! You have restored my faith in the world and I feel like maybe just maybe we will make it through this. I truly love you all and bless Jenny for doing this!
Baby O (#1838), Merry Christmas!

Hi looking for a little help this year for my two girls.
Olivia (Livy) is 13 and into all things “girly” right now, so I selected a mirror and some headbands. Sophie is really into board games and family time so I put a couple games on there for her
Our link is http://a.co/4nsyqeZ
Okay, this is a doozy. I ordered someone a box of Huggies Overnites size 4 and neglected to select the recipient’s address so they were sent to me. I placed several orders that day and have no idea whose list this was from. I have contacted Amazon customer service and 6 (count ’em, six) different reps told me there is no way to trace the order back to the original wishlist. I feel horrible that someone thinks these have been purchased but will never receive them. If you are the original poster for these diapers, please add them back to your wishlist and let me know. I will gladly buy them again and have them sent to the right place!

Thank you JamesJen for the warm hat for my baby!!! Means the world. Bless you!!
Sash, please go to the Master List and post a comment with your link and I’ll check out what’s going on? It could be a problem with your link, or what you requested or simply an error. One of us will figure it out and either comment back, or add you back to the list! Don’t worry!
Chris @ 1900 – your girls’ coats, plus a little something extra for them to share :), is on the way. Merry Christmas to you!
Dona, post 1870, may I recommend that you clear out the rest of your list and leave the one toy for your son? You have received many coats and toys, including an additional coat and snowsuit for Olivia. Then you can send a comment to the spreadsheet and we can make sure you are on there.
Rayne 1881, your link is broken to your list, that is why it hasn’t been filled. Or it was filled and you deleted it? That’s why it’s not on the list.
Jenny – please note that EJ #70/416 and Erryn #806, are the same person and they are abusing this wonderful thing you are doing. I purchased a gift for her “14-year old daughter” and then when scrolling through comments happened to notice that another angel had already sent her requested gift days ago. I went back to her link and saw that within minutes of my purchase she had already linked to a new item (as if it was the first). I cancelled the order after I scrolled down more and saw numerous other angels had also already sent her a gift. 🙁
She may indeed have two girls (including one who was raped this past year), but she is being dishonest and is taking advantage of this beautiful thing you’re doing. I didn’t let her ruin my Christmas spirit though and just finished gifting another person two jackets. Thank you for continuing this beautiful tradition. (and thanks James Garfield!)
Anonymous post 1883, just post your list here to the comments… or go to the master list and leave a comment with your link and post number and we’ll add you!
Reposting for my cousin from 1077. She can’t get online to edit her list into compliance and the purchased items didn’t exceed the toy limit, but the sweaters for her kids would be very appreciated. Twins and a teen so 3 total in Abq New Mexico.

Thank you to those that helped me for the other 2 kids! <3

Liz, 1686, repaired! You’re on the master list!
Liz (1943) I meant…
Originally #862. Was hoping my list could be added to the master list if possible. I only had four items on my list and people were so generous to get three of the items, so there is just one left for the oldest son. I would hate for his brother to have two things to open and him to only have one, although he probably wouldn’t care. If anyone finds it in their heart, that would be wonderful!

How do you check the master list and see if you are on it? I was comments 1711 and 1732 I know the coat is over $35 but its hard to find one to fit him he is so big. and I put mittens for my little guy instead of a coat as he has a coat but needs mittens.Thanks for anything anyone can do.
