PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST – THE NINTH ANNUAL JAMES GARFIELD MIRACLE

in James Garfield for Sainthood

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.

James Garfield and I love you.

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.”

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.

Add to wishlist

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.)

Add comment telling us who the gift is for

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

Read comments below or add one.

  1. I only added a jacket per Jenny saying on Thursday and Friday we could come back. I’m so happy for the little toys and would never not follow the rules. I only added the jacket because we could if needed.

  3. Everything is purchased I just realized that the qty was 2 on the pink Pomsie thank you sooo much

  4. I posted as #1941 and later added my wish list on #1945 because I forgot. Sorry about that Serine23. I found two coats that were $48.99 but I feel bad about having them on my list but they really need one. I was trying to find ones for around 30$ but haven’t had much luck so if anyone knows of some cheaper coats that are for plus sized girls please let me know.

  5. @comment 1955 Lori THANK YOU so much!!!! Baby O will love it!!! Thanks again from the bottom of our heart!!! Bless you!! Many THANKS!!!!

  6. I think something went wrong with this because the coats are still showing as unpurchased and I didn’t touch anything!

    Chris @ 1900 – your girls’ coats, plus a little something extra for them to share :), is on the way. Merry Christmas to you!

  9. I just wanna say one more time in a world full of ugly theres this.. beautiful people/ Santa’s/ miracle workers/ Jenny on here that the world is so blessed to have. Truly so much gratitude and love for the people on here making this happen. Bringing smiles to the children’s faces, less stress to a momma, papa, grandma etc etc. Really so unbelievable to have all this love! Thanks again
    Merry Christmas my brothers and sisters!! Xoxo

  10. Jessica K post 1968. The gift is on its way. Will be there between Dec 19-21. Merry Christmas!!

  11. Melody (autism momma 1998),
    I just tried to buy the mittens for your son but got a message that the item can’t be shipped to a Wish List or gift registry address. If you choose a different pair I will be happy to buy them.

  13. Anonymous post 2011- I added a pair of different mittens see if those will work. Thank you so much

  14. Donna #1840…gifts headed your way. I love your boys’ names…if I’d ever been lucky enough to have twin boys, that’s what I would have named them! God bless and Merry Christmas!
    Thanks to all the unsung heroes that flock to this blog each year to make wishes come true for others! You guys ROCK!
    Merry Christmas to all!!

  15. Took the socks & underware off per instructions, so I will add them back tomorrow. To clarify, am I supposed to wait until the presents are bought? Cuz Id almost rather have the clothing items than the toys LOL Need vs Wants
    Thank you all for the work you guys put into this to be able to bless so many.

    1876 MommaBear | December 13, 2018 at 11:43 am
    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!

  16. Thank you so much to The Who ever got my boys a gift means a lot . Hugsss Post 1840

  17. I know it says we can add more items Friday after lists have been filled. Are there any specific guidelines for what can be added? For example I’m in need of a coat for myself the one I have is three sizes too big and the zipper is broken but I feel bad asking for something for myself. I have an older daughter that I did not ask for gifts for as I had purchased her gifts before my boyfriend’s work slowed down but she does need snow boots. I just want to make sure not to break any rules and stick to any guidelines. Thanks!

  18. Original post 587, thank you who finished our gift wish list! Not sure if i needed to let someone know that coats are all that are on our list and if we need removed from the master list when that happens, you guys are amazing and have put in a lot of work and you are amazing too!

  20. Thank you to whoemever bought each of my kids a gift off their list. I truly appreciate the kindness! I’m so thrilled they’ll have something to open, it’ll surprise them immensely!

    After some initial troubles getting (and keeping) certain items on their list I think I have narrowed it down to a good few. I’m posting one final time I hopes that 3 of the 4 may get gifted an additional surprise (one only had 1 item on the list).

  21. anonymous post 2011- I think i figured out about the mittens. I hadn’t checked to allow 3rd party shipping to me but I changed that, just in case I also added different mittens so you could try both. Thank you for your blessing. Also not sure if this affected others or not here is our list again just in case.

  22. I am going to try again. My original post is #1375, but I have not gotten any comments or purchases.
    I am a single mom in GA. I lost my husband 8.5 years ago. I took in my brother’s twins this year. My oldest is 18, but I didn’t include him on here. The kids are aged 13 – to almost 17.Thank you for anything. Thank you, Jenny Lawson. You are one in a million.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls?lid=MEXJO67AMSEY&ref=cm_sw_go_wl_awwl_

  23. Thank you Jam1es they are a handful but also my world wouldn’t change a thing . Merry Christmas

  28. Serine23, regarding your post #1972 to Dona’s post #1870: Please see my post #1877 & 1878 (duplicated in error), I purchased the Minecraft toy for Brayden age 12. 🙂

  30. Photo of this adorable little boy I’m talking about: https://imgur.com/a/QQydHHr (The woman in the back is my grandmother, the child in the basket is my son and the baby in the front with the bottle is my little cousin)

    Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LEA9S6IWI4G1

    Above is a link to a photo of two little sweet kids. One is mine and the other is my cousin, which my grandmother just got custody. His father has 3 years in jail and mother is just not capable of being there. She’s been trying to get loans out, but people are turning her down due to the fact she only gets SSI and having to pay all the bills herself with no help whatsoever. With that being said, I’m making her a post for him for Christmas. He doesn’t need toys or anything because he doesn’t play with them. He was born premature and is behind on a lot. He has upcoming appointments and tests to let us know what is really wrong with him. It’s like his father was putting things off. What I will do is throw him in a few dvds and a few sensory toys I think he will watch and play with, but majority of it will be clothing items and things he need. She would make a list, but she has no clue how to work a smart phone or a computer lol. She’s says none of it makes sense to her.

    If this is not allowed, please let me know, so I can find another way to do this. If I was able, I would help her but my SO’s check this week was only $67 due to deductions.

  32. Sorry for reposting the original one was 1450 I changed a couple things in my list today because my son asked me for a blanket because he’s always cold and I changed my daughter’s to a humidifier to help with her asthma because it’s really dry where we live right now. My other son wanted a bag of m&Ms but I didn’t change his :p thank you again, it’s nice seeing so many people happy during a hard time I feel really embarrassed that I have to ask people for help. I wish things would get easier for us and for everyone on here that’s having a hard year.

  33. Hi serine23, my post was somewhere – it is number 5 on the spreadsheet. You can take us off if you’d like. I know there are several needs & someone bought all 3 small things one son wanted & so we got enough things to divide them & give each kid a gift ❤️ We are so grateful! We hope everyone is just as blessed ❤️
    I think it’s number 5 but it’s this one:
    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2JXMIIC4NSPIC

    Jenny thank you so much for doing this ❤️

  34. Post #2030 I know it’s way past the limit, but I think there will be someone or someones out there willing to help my Nana. Like I said if it’s not allowed, please let me know and I will look else where. I know this will be a great gift to my Nana and him too.

  35. Thank you so much for the scarf and spaghetti!

    Original post
    I waited til evening to post. Thank you again for the angels that made sure all five kids have two gifts to open. I know we are allowed to list if we need food or clothes. I made a list we do need but please please please make sure others that got nothing from their first post for help before helping us with food or clothes. Much love to one of the best, amazing tribe in the world!

    Food and clothes

  36. Hey Kasey #2030, 2034: It’s better to stick with the rules Jenny set forth–it’s more fair to everyone, and lists like yours are often passed up because they are so over the limit. A lot of people are in dire need, but stick to the rules. Could you please pare the list down? You are requesting over $350 worth of items for one child. I want to make sure your nana and cousin gets some assistance, but you said yourself you know you are breaking the rules. Let’s be fair to all since no one knows when the givers will meet the limits of their resources.

  38. Hoping to get added to the master list. Original posts 1745/1747, I’ve got a 9 year old SPD/ADHD/autistic daughter who would love the other item on her list. My 15 month old would enjoy playing with her toy and carrying around the stuffed toy if someone would be able to help finish the list for us. We want to say thank you for 2 of the items on their way already, and if whoever would like a thank you from us, please let me know how to send a thank you picture to show our gratitude

  39. I just saw the part about coming back and adding food and pjs and started crying again… I added pjs for the 4 kids and some food… I don’t know if t.p. and feminine products are allowed but with teen girls who often have to stay home “sick” because I can’t afford them, I added a pack on there in case it’s ok.
    Please if considering helping us, check the master gift list first and make sure there are not kids still hoping for gifts before worrying about us!

  40. For tomorrow’s need list, are we supposed to repost or just hope that people go through and find us again?

  41. Serine23, I was 1800 originally, and no, I had to completely set up a new amazon. Customer service wasn’t able to help and sent an email saying someone would contact me within 24-48 hours to try to fix it but there was nothing else the ones on chat or the phone could do.

  42. Sorry Jessica K slight delay. Amazon freaked out about me being in Canada and shipping to the states. All fixed. Arrival dates are still the same. Sorry it took so long to fix I didn’t notice until now.

  43. @serene23, I think I messed up by making a list for each child but didn’t want to delete and make a new so it still showed what was purchased.

  46. Posting Friday list a few hours early because I have a double shift starting early tomorrow. Original list still viewable with “purchased” filter. God bless you all. <3

    http://a.co/hDkOdWy

  47. Can we be added to the master list? My first post was #999 (12 & 16 year old girls and a 14 year old boy, in Arcadia, La), and we could still really use some help with coats for the kids. Thanks to Jenny and all her helpers for making this possible!

  48. Hello everyone. I posted my list back at #1412 for my 3 rascals. I feel awful not having much to offer my family for the holidays and I am genuinely grateful for the book that was sent for us. I will be honest and say that I am reposting here because I feared our list has been lost among many and I hope to be blessed with 2 more gifts so each child can open something. Many thanks to you all for your kindness and generosity.

  50. Here is my wishlist. All your help is appreciated. I just lost my job a month ago; luckily I did most of the shopping, but here’s a couple things I still would like to have for both my boys. My older boy has two fun things for his list; the book is more educational as he’s constantly asking a million questions about everything under the sun. My 1 year old has one fun thing & one outfit set. I tried to stick to the $35 limit, but I did go over a couple dollars for each child. I hope that’s okay.

    http://a.co/fk2k2tS

    Again, thank you so much for your generosity.

  51. Reposting each little has one gift coming 🙂

    Just struggling…..
    My family isn’t supportive because they don’t believe in divorce so I’ve lost not only my husband but my entire family in this separation. Feel very alone and it’s so hard to keep it together for them to have s good holiday. It’s not about the gifts, I know but I’m trying to keep it a little normal for them.

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/PY2SXOUONYC4

  52. I’m hoping it’s okay if I post a tiny bit early.. I’ll be working tomorrow and I’m not sure I’ll be able to post in the morning for the ability to be blessed with a bit of food and toiletry items. I understand if nobody has the ability to give any more but I honestly just figured it wouldn’t hurt to try because absolutely anything is better than what we have now. Thank you SO much for all you’ve done for us!

  53. Just want to let everyone know I spent another hour tonight on the list. Many more were fulfilled, which is great news.

    I was a couple of days late to the miracle and have four kiddos that I’m trying really hard to make this Christmas good for. Our oldest son is a cancer survivor and has an extensive medical history and we are currently dealing with another crisis and I’m completely overwhelmed. I have one list for all four kids and haven’t had anything purchased yet and that’s okay but was hoping I could be added to the master list. Please feel free to add me and thank you so much in advance. Merry Christmas & much love to all. ❤️

Thank you.

  59. Hi- my children were blessed with Christmas. We finally are celebrating oir first Christmas in our own home this year- we celebrated Our last two in a homeless shelter after we left domestic violence. The whole family (me and Kayden-5- and Mackenzie-4) have fought hard to stay housed this year during unemployment and hard medical times. I say the whole fanily because although young they’ve sacrificed a lot to stay in a home this year. Now that we can add needs I added pajamas for both kids, a book (granted for me so very little –
    ‘Importance’, and some household neccessities- trash bags, laundry soap, and feminine pads. Last Christmas someone gifted me 2 boxes of these and they lasted all year- its a huge weight lifted off to not have to worry about that inevitable expense but I know there are people who have gotten nothing yet.

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/W6TUMG0O41QX

  61. I hope I am not too late to ask for help. Hopefully there are still some angels waiting to help. I have 4 children- ages 6,11,16,17. We live in Ponca City, OK. I am thankful for any help I can get.

  64. Ohiomom #2051: You already posted many times and had individual lists that were fulfilled for the three kids (which you then deleted) and now you’re adding more items to the new list you made under a new name. You already got plenty of stuff.

    I hope all of you who are taking advantage of our generosity take a minute to think about the lesson your behavior is teaching your kids (which will stick around a heck of a lot longer than all the plastic crap you’re begging for). You know Jenny doesn’t have to do this, right?

  66. I posted this on amazon comments but wanted to share here. I went through over 1,000 pair of boots trying to find the cheapest in my son Bryson’s size. The cheapest I could find on prime were $34.95. I wanted to offer the $16 I have on PayPal to put towards the cost. I hate even putting them on there but he needs some so bad. Or if anyone has a decent used pair I’d even be totally fine with that! I appreciate your time and thank you so much to all the elves and angels!

  67. Hello everyone. I am post number 775. I was over the $35 limit per kid as I had added underwear’s, hats and gloves and pajama for each of the kids. I have taken the underwear’s, gloves and hats off and left the kids pijamas as they really need those. By the way, two pajama have been purchased already, thank you.

    You guys are amazing.

  69. I hope this okay to post. It is Friday as of now!

    I was originally post #516, and my list was fulfilled mostly, but I explained my story about my bf being the only one with a job that’s only parttime. As of today, child support started coming back out leaving us with a $67 check to get us by for two weeks (I’ll attach proof below). How is that suppose to work? So we applied for food stamps, which we have been pushing off forever because we thought we could do this, but nope. We both have been applying for jobs and nothing has came of it yet. All we can do is pray things will fall into place. With that being said, we have little to nothing. Everything we have is going towards bills. I don’t even know how we’re gonna live. Luckily my mom will cook us meals everyday. The food on the list is for the school lunches mainly. My son loves the cheez-it groves, and that’s the only thing I could find containing those. My friend gave me some clothes for our daughter, but my son still needs some. I feel bad for asking for these things, but we really need them. I know we may not even get half the items on the list, but it’s worth a shot. So if you read this and feel it’s right to help, please do so. Everything will be so appreciated.

    I’ve never been this scared in my life as to what we are going to do. But I do know we will get through it. And I know there are some great people out here.

  70. Received my boys gifts today. I am so thankful. .. I’m sorry to read all the negative or greedy posts but this is absolutely amazing and hopefully people go back and remember the point. .it isn’t the more

  74. @Serine23 as an idea re post 1999 a Google form could be created.
    Required that it record email.
    Person’s name, personal story, Amazon link, city, kids ages, etc. This might help with getting everything into the spreadsheet easier. Just a thought.

  77. Stephanie (2060) One of your items should be there the 19-21st. The other 2 had been purchased already.
    Merry Christmas…

  78. Thank you so much anonymous! Could I send you the $16 on PayPal to help pay for the boots? I literally spent an hour searching for the cheapest pair.

  79. FORGOT TO POST LINK!

    I hope this okay to post. It is Friday as of now!

    I was originally post #516, and my list was fulfilled mostly, but I explained my story about my bf being the only one with a job that’s only parttime. As of today, child support started coming back out leaving us with a $67 check to get us by for two weeks (I’ll attach proof below). How is that suppose to work? So we applied for food stamps, which we have been pushing off forever because we thought we could do this, but nope. We both have been applying for jobs and nothing has came of it yet. All we can do is pray things will fall into place. With that being said, we have little to nothing. Everything we have is going towards bills. I don’t even know how we’re gonna live. Luckily my mom will cook us meals everyday. The food on the list is for the school lunches mainly. My son loves the cheez-it groves, and that’s the only thing I could find containing those. My friend gave me some clothes for our daughter, but my son still needs some. I feel bad for asking for these things, but we really need them. I know we may not even get half the items on the list, but it’s worth a shot. So if you read this and feel it’s right to help, please do so. Everything will be so appreciated.

  80. I am a little late to add my link, but might as well try. It’s been a heck of a year, one thing after another. And my daughter has rolled with the punches, always smiling and telling me she doesn’t need new things. Or we don’t need to worry about anything, as long as we have each other.

  81. My original posts have mama elf as the user name. I guess it was what I used last year lol but im on my husband’s phone and it’s not even letting me put a name is why it says anonymous
    Hey guys! Soo I hate being “that person” and reposting my list. I was on the master list and now i cant seem to find myself on it, even tho my wishlist has not been filled or had anything purchased on it,I was just wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know why or tell me in crazy and it’s still on there and I’ve over looked it lol. Maybe even if there’s something wrong with my wishlist,keeping any one from helping me out. Any info would be appreciated! I tried to skim through and see if anyone had tried to contact me on here but goodness there’s just soo many ppl here this year it’s alot of crazy ness. Which is why I’m sorry to be posting again cause I know you guys are working hard and it just makes it harder on you guy! I’m just trying really hard to be hopeful! I honestly could just really use a musical right now y’all, even a small one! This mama is about to loose her mind. It’s like I’m in a hole and I keep climbing to get out get half way and fall back to the bottom over and over. Thank God im too stubborn to give up lol. Also the kiddos would still love Christmas cards from Any one that would be interested in sending them one! They LOVE IT.you can contact me at tjwalters15@gmail.com I really hope everyone has a wonderful love filled Christmas! This year my kids may not have as many gifts as they normally would and it’s been breaking my heart but we have been having lots of fun and family time and that’s what they will remember!
    Anyway here’s my post with my wishlist on it.

    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!!!

  82. Hey I just wanted to throw a heads up i adjusted my sister’s list (617) because the sheets for her son and blanket for her daughter had a price jump. I found cheaper options. Sorry if anyone saw that and thought she went for pricey picks. Happy holidays and thank you to everyone working so hard on this.

  85. 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.

  88. Hi everyone,

    I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

  89. Bailey Clarke at #2054, your link doesn’t work. When I click on it, I just get the sign-in for Amazon.ca. I can’t see your wish list. Go back and follow Jenny’s instructions, and see if you can figure out the problem.

  91. #232, Tiffannie, I used to live in Harrison. I was going to try to send something, but it looks like your wishlist is fulfilled! Be sure to go by Share-n-Care if you haven’t already. They will be able to assist you with some basic necessities. I can’t remember the organization who does the Angel Tree each year, but Share-n-Care will probably know. Harrison is small, but it is truly the most generous community. Blessing to you and Merry Christmas. And my sincere condolences about your husband and his lost fight with mental illness.

  92. Since I posted earlier (#1941) about needing coats for my two daugthers and forgot to add my wish list until a few posts later (#1945) a few people have brought up that they noticed I didn’t have a link to my first post. Since I’ve now updated the list I figured I’d just link my list again just to make sure there’s no confusion. Sorry about the mistake earlier.

  93. I want to thank Elizabeth and James Jen for getting things off my kid’s list! I’m feeling less anxious and more excited for the next year. This list has clothes for each kid and some books they might like. Thanks so much and I hope to be giving back next year.
    http://a.co/cKUL1Tp

  95. thank you to whoever finished off the kids List. Serene, if you see this please remove mine from the masters if that’s what you do once filled.

  96. Hi I’m Javon, a single mom of 4 awesome kids. I have 3 sons and a daughter and they light up my life. I’m on my own right now and things are hard. I do everything I can to keep things going and it’s not enough. We’d appreciate any help you can provide and be extremely grateful. Happy holidays and thank you!

  97. Good Morning, my name is Jason and I hate to have to post on here, but a coworker told me about this site tonite and I have to give it a try for my daughters.

    We have had a really tough year. In March, my wife was in a terrible car wreck that left her hospitalized for almost 2 months…losing out on her paycheck and accruing tons of medical bills.

    Thankfully she is almost fully recovered now and done with therapy, but Christmas in our house is looking pretty sad.

    I am at my wits end just trying to make ends meet, and would love to be able to provide a few gifts for my daughters.

    I made a small wish list with 2 gifts and a need for both of them. If James Garfield is able to provide another Christmas miracle headed my way it would be so amazing. I believe I followed all the rules listed, but scrolling through this incredibly long page on my phone is hard to go up and down double checking.

    If I screwed anything up please let me know.

    Our link is http://a.co/5vKX07o

    Thank you for reading and considering helping me. Merry Christmas everyone and may 2019 be a much better year for everyone!

  99. A big hello to Serine23 and everyone working so hard on this! I don’t know how to phrase this, may I just check about the list? My original posts were 964 and 1823 and my link is: http://amzn.eu/c63zzvA and I’m worried I’ve done something wrong. I really appreciate if you get a chance to look at this, but I totally understand how busy life is – especially at this time of the year!

  100. Mel 703 – Merry Christmas! Each of your girls will now be getting a present from the list (including the Barbie that was on Santa’s list). 🙂

    Sending lots of love!!!

  101. Stitchress – Sophie’s book is on it’s way. So excited to be in Santa’s sleigh. 🙂

  103. Ack! I didn’t see the second page! I thought everyone just gave up when I said I was going to bed. 🙂 Kidding…. I’m trying to catch up the second page and those 1700s, that need love. We’re clearing out lists too. This is my last day to moderate though. My daughter turns 7 this weekend, and we have visitors coming. I’ll give it one last hurrah in these pre-dawn hours, and then I’m passing the torch. Much love to The Bloggess community!

  104. Sandra, 2099, you’re on the Master List (it says Europe/France next to it) I just don’t know that we have many givers over there right now… you’re doing fine 🙂

  105. Anonymous 2025, please don’t post the “shop together” type links, people get tons of emails from these. No collaborations, just post your list. Then I’ll add you to the Master List. Thank you.

  108. Anonymous 2039, I want to say that I saw your post requesting menstrual items. I think that’s fine. I also want suggest you check out the website: Days for Girls, they help with this. Also, Planned Parenthood often helps provide sanitary items if you need them. Sometimes even the schools. Best of luck.

  111. Dan Honeybun 2063… how many kids is this for, can you put comments on your Amazon list. You are over the limits. After you’ve done this, repost and I’ll add you, or comment onto the master and I’ll add you.

  119. Serine23 – Thank you for updating me. I really do apologise for the bother!! I really over think things and get myself worried. XOXO

  121. What does “red” on the master list mean? Jenny said we could post again on Friday. If I haven’t received helped with this particular ask-will it not be considered?

    Thanks

  122. I also realized it may be confusing what I wrote…it’s early am and I’m frazzled, stressed and pretty rattled…I wanted this to be anonymous and can’t delete these posts that have my “handle”–if someone can that would be great…My town can be judgy and I would hate for someone to see me asking for help and judge me 🙁 I have a child of my own but I am also caring for two non-bio kids at the moment. A friend has hit rough times and I took her kids in and now I’m overwhelmed and strapped and unsure what to do re holidays. The “ology books are for my kid (I hope) and I was thinking maybe they could all share the other game type toys ideally but I’d give one to each…I really don’t know. Honestly I feel awful saying this (so please please delete if possible!) but I sort of wish I never agreed to help her…it’s too much on me. Mine is 6, turning 7 and hers are 9 and 5, plus go to school in a diff city…with shuttling everyone around to their schools I’ve been getting into work late and discombobulated….
    anyway TL:DR sry if I did this wrong https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/9E4QTIAWD8G9/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

  125. Big Update: I have added everyone through 2121 to the list (I went back to fix that gap in the 1700s). I’m working on fulfilled lists next. But the real question here is: Serine has no list, can she make one with migraine pills on it? Kidding! Seriously though, someone pass the Advil, I’ve been looking at my screen too long.
    MASTER LIST is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?ts=5c130341#gid=0

  127. Carol 1830, I made a comment at 2120 that you had been deleted, you are on the list already at 664. Double check that. But it’s because you reposted, that there was confusion. The notes from lines deleted stay until I click resolved. Point being, you’re on the list!

  128. My original post is 2061. I reposted 2073 and 2075 because I had accidentally left off my link. Is my list okay? I didn’t see it on the master list. Thank you in advance for any help I can get.

  129. Hi there. I’m not sure how this Friday thing works. My original post was #497 and I am so thankful it was fulfilled. I thought I would put coats for my kids up and see what happens. Any help is so appreciated. We are in Ohio. The only reason there is a vest and jacket for my middle son is because besides his autism he has sensory issues and likes layers and feeling snug. Again thank you for everything.

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/11CD1X2O1P7DA

  133. I have been up all night. The Dr’s appt did not go well. the pregnancy is etopic and I am scheduled for a procedure. 🙁 I never thought I would have to go through this. I can’t help but blame myself as I freaked out when I 1st found out. WHat a whirlwind the last 48 hours have been. Jason is distraught but doing a great job of staying strong for me. It’s very early and the Dr. says I will need to take a few day’s off… luckily I have some vaction time still. THis is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

    Merry Christmas. Please pray for my family I need to be strong for my kids and Jason but I just… I don’t even know….

    Merry Christmas

    Thank you for giving me a place to vent Jenny I love you all

  134. My toy wishlist was filled but I’m reposting with some household things that we can never seem to have enough of. I got a ton of hand me downs for my daughter but not for my son. He doesn’t have any pajamas and ends up sleeping in shorts most nights so I added a few pairs of pjs. I made a note beside most everything on the list explaining why it is needed. Thanks everyone. God bless.
    Link: http://a.co/9DmGCFL

  135. I am reposting my list, i am not adding anything to it, just the original wishlist for the kids. No extras.
    Thank you to the elves that have sent along, I know the kids will be excited and shocked to see anything to open! <3
    I am original post 1104, thanks for anyone considering helping us..I know there are alot of people needing help. If there is anyone that would be able to help us, this is our list 🙂 http://a.co/fmVInRd

  140. Serine23- can you see if I was on the master list- I looked for my first number but it wasn’t on there and neither was my other. I was 1711 then 1732. I fixed my list (I had accidently clicked no to 3rd party buying) and commented on 2021 for the person looking to buy mittens for my little guy. Thanks

  142. Single Dad 2138 You are way over the limit on toys. You have $108 in toys, when the limit is $35. Please correct this and I’ll add you to the list.

  145. Homeschool family #2123: I’m flabbergasted that you would request such non-essential, expensive items. You have misunderstood. Friday is not a free-for-all for “dream” lists, it’s for additional “needs”. Jenny said clothes, food and the like could be added on Friday, if needed. The cap on gifts is not suddenly lifted. A pricey $200 microscope because the one you currently have isn’t strong enough? A $120 telescope? A $60 additional scope and it must be this expensive one because any other just won’t do? Have you been reading any of the posts? People are asking for SANITARY PADS and DIAPERS. They need coats and pajamas, underwear and socks. Honest people have been trying to decide which to ask for: snow boots or jackets, because they don’t want to abuse the system by asking for too much. That’s heartbreaking.

    Bless those who followed the rules and by doing so made sure that other families, not just their own, would be taken care of. Because it’s Christmas. Because this is for kids. Because this isn’t for subsidizing your home school science co-op with expensive gear.

    You emphasized CHRISTmas–is this what Jesus would do? Would He want for finite resources to be diverted to your family’s “dream” wish list, especially when you already have a serviceable microscope, or would He instead want to put food into empty bellies or warm coats on cold little backs?

  147. Oh shoot sorry for reposting!! Yay i just seen your comment serine!! – bailey clarke

  150. OK, Seriously (post 2145), while I 100% agree with you, yes I do, we’re going to work to improve this process next year. Capping amounts for families, weeding out scammers etc. It’s a learning process, and amazing how much James Garfield’s Miracle has grown. It is heart-wrenching to see people needing food, and sanitary items, when others are taking advantage and asking for WAY too much. But let me say this, those way-too-much requests will not get met, and they reflect poorly on those asking, not those of us ignoring those requests. They won’t go on the master list either. And it is a reminder to those asking for helping to remember to see others needs, and there are hundreds, yes, hundreds of folks needing help, and limited resources. Don’t take from others, and show awareness and compassion please. Helping these people is why I keep coming back to moderate, because I love you all, even if you don’t know me. Thanks you for pointing this out Seriously (2145).

  151. Good morning everyone! I just wanted to say a quick thank you to those who purchased for the kids. We very much appreciate it! And a huge thank you to Jenny for continuing to do this, as well as to those who are taking the time out of their lives to keep up with the master list!

  154. A thank you to you, too, Serine23. You are a rock star! What you are doing is so appreciated by posters and givers alike. You and Jenny have poured so much of yourselves into this, along with so many others.

    I hated to make such a tart response up thread, but there is still so much need and I’m tapped out for this year. I don’t want to be negative. I’ve been here since the first JGXM, and although the flavor has changed, it’s still a beautiful event.

    I wish all a wonderful Christmas, and a happy and healthy 2019!

  155. I’m going to cry!!!! Originally #943…Yesterday the mailman tried to deliver 2 packages to the neighbors and the daughter in law was there and didn’t know my name and RETURNED THEM!!! My actual neighbor called this morning and told em. I called the post office and amazon but nothing they can do at this point. Items will be returned and would have to be reordered. I’m sorry to whoever ordered these for my babies.

  156. Kasey post 2079, I’m sorry to hear about your family’s hard times, but you need to cut your request list back, a bunch. You have nearly $500 on your list. Visa gift cards are definitely a no. I recall this from other years. There are just a lot of people with needs… let me know when you’ve changed it and I’ll add you to the master.

  159. Yes I am Serious.

    I have been through these list and have seen countless scammer delete there list and add more. There are countless list on here where they have had gift cards worth more than all the scopes on my list added together. Obviously, my list is different and I am trying to better my childrens education. My personal email is listed in the comments of my list. If you have an issue with me you are more than welcome to send me an email.

    As a homeschooling family we are limited to my husbands income as I am always with my children. Raising 8 children on less than 50 grand a year leaves very little extras update our equipment. I was honest in stating that we have a microscope but it is a 50 dollar plastic one and my 3 oldest are burgeoning scientist, and astronomers.

    Yes I do believe that CHRIST would approve of my honest wish list

    Merry CHRISTmas

  160. Abby (commenter 2062) – I just sent the UNO game and the drawing pad out your way. They should arrive on Sunday. And if you happen to see this again, I would love to send Ryker the DVD for The Indian in the Cupboard. That book and movie were a favorite of mine growing up. I think Ryker would like it. My seven year old does. Please add it and I will send it. Merry Christmas!

  161. Homeschool Family post 2159, just to nip this in the bud and avoid negativity like this on the board, may I suggest you look to somewhere like The Homeschool Foundation for a grant for these purchases? These requests just aren’t a good fit for this particular event. Let’s all just agree to be kind, and try to understanding… that’s what this is truly about.

  162. Homeschool family Apparently you must think this is the place to ask for 2 and 300 microscopes when over 100 children on the list still haven’t received even the smallest gift. If you chose to homeschool your children then the burden of a 200 microscope is on you. Why not ask for a loan for school items through a trustees or make a GoFundMe and have family donate that kind of money and gifts? Very selfish of you to ask for that type of items when the limit is 35 dollars per child..I’m sure when Jenny sees this you will be deleted . Not only because you want such extravagant items but even stating that Christ would approve of your list taking away from other children. Your entire list could make over 30 kids have 1 gift to open . Everyone here wants the best gifts for their kids. I wish I could buy my child a new game system but here is not the place to ask for such things and take away from many others who need help.

  163. Serine23 – I think I found you on FB, and I sent you a message. Because we aren’t friends, it may have gone to your “other” inbox. 🙂

  166. OH, boy. I think it’s very important to be like ducks here and let this turbulent water roll off our backs. Homeschool Family has asked, and some disagree (yay! Freedom of speech). I don’t know Jesus Christ personally, but I’m pretty sure he’d want to stay out of this mess. Let’s all just keep working together to help those kiddos that need something under the tree. Or in this case 114 kiddos, since that’s how many active lists there are on the Master List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?ts=5c138766#gid=0

  168. Hi all. I was comment 321, thank you again to those who purchased. We learned more about our co-worker’s situation since my initial post, so I’ve added a few more things for him- a coat, a couple games and a book. (the last remaining item for my daughter is still on there, but I didn’t want to delete it to look like I was messing with the list). D is 7 and walks to and home from school every day- by himself. He gets himself ready in the morning and is home by himself for a couple hours in the evening. He lives with just his dad, mom is not in the picture at all. We just learned of their financial issues earlier in the week and are trying to help him have some sort of Christmas. I appreciate the solar car and sweatshirts that were purchased earlier in the week. Any help is appreciated, but again, not necessary as he already did receive 2 gifts. There is a RC car on there- he doesn’t get outside much, I thought maybe this would help. I can delete it if need be. Thanks.

  169. I’m scrolling through comments and blown away! This has grown so much since last year!!! I know I’m extremely late but I didn’t even know it was going on. I stumbled on this last year and you have no idea the difference you all made for my kids! And I know there are so many that chances anyone remembers me are slim but I had been separated from a jerk wad of a husband. Well, come to find out he had gotten addicted to the pain pills the Dr. prescribed him for an injury at work. I also found out shortly after Christmas that the baby I thought I had lost in September….. NOPE they think he was a twin and lost one but was almost 6 months pregnant!!! So we are tying to rebuild our family! My husband is getting help and has been off of everything since my baby was born in March and we are going to counseling. We haven’t moved back home yet just because I set a 1 year goal of sobriety, counseling and trust. I’m so excited to have my family coming back together and truly believe this newest little one is what has saved us. I’ve made a list for the kiddos but if it’s too late it’s no problem at all. By this time next year I won’t have to do this, we will only be paying for 1 household and my husband won’t be paying for everything out of pocket because his contractor will finally be offering insurance! I have 3 more months and this will all be over!!!!!

  170. Nancy 2167… not sure what your original post was but I’ll add you now. I’m trying desperately to keep up with the master list, but I’m crumbling like a cookie over here…. this is… emotional. Really, very… shoot. I’ll add you, but then I think I need a break.

  171. Hello everyone

    Here is the fixed list please if there is any questions please ask.
    Thank you very much

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/27YG6K49NJJHX

  172. Worried momma post 2171
    Sorry forgot to put.
    We are from Missouri
    From original post 574.

  174. Ok, In trying to give Serine a break, I’ll be updating the list. Here are a few things to check before reposting your list a hundred times asking why it isn’t on the list.
    1. is it within limits set in the rules?
    2. have you edited your list of purchased items?
    3. do you have gift cards on your list? if yes, then we won’t post it on the master list.
    4. Please don’t post crazy extravagant lists…so many children still don’t even have 1 item coming. Be considerate. Be compassionate. Be kind. Pretty Please.

  175. Stitchress, you are my hero. Thank you for tagging me out. I’m going to rest a little, have a little cry. Love to all of you and I hope your wishes are granted.

  176. Serine . Girl I just went through the comments and realized what you have done.. Gurllll you must be exhausted. Take some you time and get some rest. I can wait no worries. Hopefully I’ll be found.. lol

  179. How did you guys get food items added to the list? I tried to that for my co-worker, since his son will be home alone during Christmas break, but it wouldn’t pull up any lists and would only come up as a pantry item….. I’d be happy to change his list to food items and remove the stuff we added today….

  180. Hi everyone– First of all, we have been so blessed by JG generosity. <3 Cannot thank you enough. — Per Jenny’s rules, I waited until Friday and added some winter things that my kids need. I understand these might not be filled, but am sharing again. (Biggest need is for tall socks for my son who is getting leg braces). My original post was #67. Super grateful and I hope to be able to pay this forward next year. xo https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3QK91V6YID8I7?&sort=default

  183. Homeschool family 2159 – wow. Yes, there have been a few scammers, but the vast majority of these folks are in serious need of help. They are in feast or famine type situations. My son lost his father in september. He watched his father die. What makes your kids more deserving? Your kids have both of their parents. They are relatively healthy. Come on. Have some couth. Your husband makes under $50k? Um. I’m sorry. Despite my rant, I wish your family the best, but please keep in mind that there are several people here who are in dire straits. Maybe put more effort in working to get these items for your kids. For crying out loud, I’m donating plasma twice a week to pay my bills. I have a college degree and I made great money as a paralegal in a large corporate law firm. But life happens and you do what you have to do for your kids. You can’t always depend on others to feel sorry for you in order to have your “needs” met. If you need those items that bad, you will find a way. But please be humble and considerate of the real life essential needs these other families are requesting. Thank you I’m advance for understanding why your requests are not met with lots of positivity. Best of luck to you and your family.

  186. Jessie 2066, no on the Paypal…
    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help. 🙂

  188. I need to ask everyone to PLEASE STOP EDITING YOUR LISTS! We are trying to keep things fair and if you are adding/deleting things constantly it isn’t helping us to help everyone that needs help. Thanks 🙂

  189. Jessie (2066) No on the Paypal…
    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help. 🙂

  190. I really appreciate everyone who is helping .I am on the master list im 2026. I need pampers for my daughter but dont want to take advantage. I will be gratefull to get anything for my kiddos!!

  191. Jenny said we could come back and add some essentials on Friday so I did. We most need the one pair of boots, and we are currently on our last pack of wipes. Also, diapers and socks. Big fat freaking thank you to everyone who saved us this year especially on the coats. Fingers crossed we will be blessing families big and small with gifts next year. OP #33 in Indiana.

    Our Wishlist: http://a.co/jhuPJTK

  192. May I suggest making a second sheet on the master list for Friday+ posts that added needs? That way those who want to gift essentials can find it easily. A Huge shout out to those working on keeping track of it all. You are awesome!

  193. Stitchress I believe Serene put it on the Master list already. Thank you so much though. I posted at 2176 but I posted way before that and I can’t find it . I worked a double last night and UPS is insane this time of year.
    Heater was acting up at home and it’s freezing today. Had to take out of Christmas funds to fix the heat

  194. I hate to be that person, but is today the day we can add warm clothes to the list if needed

  195. Nancy 2193 Please don’t post your link everytime you post a comment, it slows us down trying to transfer valid links to the master list. thanks!

  197. Anonymous 2192, that may be a great idea for next year, however, so many people are editing and reposting so much, we can’t be sure which lists are which anymore. I am trying to note on the master list which lists have the least gifts, or what may still be needed.

  201. After being kicked out of our apartment we are staying with family. I have three kids, 9 year old girl, 4 year old boy and 10 month old girl, I also take care of my sister’s, our mom is gone and my dad has bad health problems. I put my sisters autistic son on my list to if that’s ok, he is 7 but loves cars. his dad last saw him on his 2nd birthday. This year has been rough and we’re doing what we can to get the bills paid.

  202. Anonymous, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I think I’ll go try to find something on someone else’s list then and pay it forward. I appreciate you!

  208. Victoria Lucero you are on the list, please do not repost your list link everytime you comment. It slows down the process of transferring everyone to the master list. thanks 🙂

  211. 2094–I am actually informally fostering a couple of my friend’s children, which is why I had 5 things posted but I trimmed it to 3 bc only one child is mine and I’m really hoping their parents at least will help out some with Christmas….If not I may try Toys for Tots…I really don’t know

  212. To our Santa, I received some gifts this morning. Thank you I really appreciate it, words are not enough. Have a Merry Christmas!!

  213. Anonymous, you posted in your original post you have 1 child, we need you to post a list for your own children, so that everyone can be helped. I apologize for any inconvenience, we are trying to help as many as possible. So many are still not getting any gifts.

  214. Serine23. You are a ROCKSTAR! It’s a heavy task you’ve been doing. For those of us trying to help you have made it SO much easier. Please know you are APPRECIATED!! All of you that have been trying to make sense of the thousands of posts are the Angels of this.
    Merry Christmas to you all!

  215. You said in your original post you needed help with 1 child, please make a list for your 6 yr old, we are trying to help as many as possible. So many are still not getting any gifts.

  220. Serine23, on the master list it says that 2061 and 2081 are the same list, but they are not. My original post was 2061, but I forgot my link so I reposted at 2073 but forgot to add my name, then reposted as Martha at 2075. I will put my link on this one just in case. Thank you for your help.

    I hope I am not too late to ask for help. Hopefully there are still some angels waiting to help. I have 4 children- ages 6,11,16,17. We live in Ponca City, OK. I am thankful for any help I can get.

  221. I was originally comment 321 and then today’s 2168. I figured out how to do the food (its crazy selective!) so I deleted the car, 2 games and book for my co-worker’s son and replaced it with PB and some stuff he can have for lunches during christmas break while his dad is at work. I did leave his coat on the list as well.

  222. 201 in Canada, the games for your kids are bought! Have a Merry Christmas =) – Samantha in Winnipeg

  223. Thank you for adding me to the list. I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do that.

  228. Stitchless, Hi, I am not sure what the number it was. I tried to post for the first time today about 10:40 and then I was prompted to the WordPress login, which I had forgotten my password so I created a new one. I had come back here to post and it says a message after pressing the post comment button that it is a duplicate? I tried to control+F missrandonmthoughts for today’s date and not finding it.

  230. OP #904 – My children are ages 13 and 15 and we are in Brodheadsville, PA. I have added socks and underwear because they desperately need these items and this isn’t something we can get from the free clothing closets.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2ZNYN7XDZS39Y/ref=cm_wl_huc_title

    We feel blessed that my kids will each receive a toy, but I was amazed at how happy my 15 year old son was to have a brand new coat. He cried happy tears and was so excited to go to school in a nice new coat that fit him with a bit of room to grow and it didn’t have holes in it. Thank you so much Jenny B.

  232. I’m a single mother of 2 jase boy 13 McKayla girl 8I hate to ask but needing help for Christmas it would be a blessing to ask I’m hoping a did this right T.I.A

  233. Anonymous 2217, I swear I’m not trying to be difficult, but could you please put toys/books/coats/socks for your 6 yr old. up to $35.

  234. I am not trying to start a controversy on here, I allowed myself to get a little upset in my above post and I sincerely apologize for that. This is a place for love. and giving and the CHRISTmas spirit
    I home school so my children can learn and grow free from tyrants and bullies.
    Which there seem to a few of on here
    Why are you all so concerned with my WISH list I was completely honest on my post and list, even giving my email address in the comments of said list. I was really hoping to find another more fortunate homeschooling family would enjoy
    helping out another like minded family.
    Maybe someone has one of these items and would like to donate it to our family. It doesn’t have to new.
    Santa often brings a family gift rather than smaller presents for our family.Due to our current situation we just can’t afford it this year. If anyone is so inclined to help out our family. Please know that we would love to connect with you and send you updates on our learning adventure

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3TVZZZ7T7V79A

    To clarify our list as many are exaggerating the contents..

    1 microscope $209. yes it is rather expensive, but it would be treasured by all of my children and quality makes a huge difference.
    1 telescope $59 ( I did not realize I had 2 in the list when I posted intially I have deleted the more expensive.)
    1 Humidifier $105.23 (We have several nose bleeds a week due to the dry air in our home)
    5 pack of mini flash lights 15.99 (we love hiking in the evening and playing flashlight tag. )
    Difficult riddles for Smart kids $4.96
    THat breaks down to less than $50 per kid.

    Yes that puts me over the $35 limit per kid, which is why I waited til Friday to post.

    I understand that My link will not be added to your “Master List”

    Merry CHRISTmas to all

    Stichress who has been valiantly donating her time to help with the master list still has unfulfilled wish lists for her own kids. I would sure like to see that each of her kids have at least one gift to open.
    Original post #1104

  237. Hi, I am a mom with 3 children, 2 are teens we live in Illinois US. I am really hoping for some help this year. I just recently got a part-time job in our town that is 2 days a week and 8-10 hours. My first check was the 10th this month and was $90, I also try to find work online in the meantime to keep things afloat which is not easy more so with the rent. I have a son who just yesterday I received the diagnosis that he is level 3 on the autism spectrum disorder with severe developmental delay as well. I already knew he was delayed and pretty much aware on the spectrum from the signs but the paperwork really tore me apart. He will be 4 this month on the 19th and a happy little boy that lights up my life when I am down, he is non-verbal but his love of tickles with his laughter is the greatest sound to my ears. I only put clothes on his list as he has a ton of toys but is very particular on playing with them and he really needs clothes and shoes the most. I have a 14-year-old teen boy who is a wonderful kid, doing good in school and is my rock at times. He is really into PlayStation and youtube mostly. He struggles with his weight and is often upset about it but always maintains to have a positive attitude. My daughter who is 17 is a wonderful young woman also doing fantastic in school and is also into electronic things and clothes. It was very hard to make a list for her with the limit so I put one item on there that she would love to have. I do hope to get some help this year for my children during another year of on and off struggle but do know there are also many others in need all over. Thank you, Jenny, for doing this and for all those who are helping make Christmas a bit brighter this year for many. I would like to thank anyone who is able to help my children have something this year in advance but also if unable thank you for your kindness to make other children have a Christmas this year. Thank you for reading my long comment! Here is the link for my children’s wish list this year- http://a.co/buz4hrJ

  238. Since it’s friday, I added some items to my list. I added mittens, baby wipes and baby food. By all means, please help others who haven’t yet been helped. However, if anyone is able, please consider helping with these items. I am very grateful for the jacket socks and toy my son has received already. The socks and jacket were dire, and I am ever so grateful to our angel. I wish I were able to send our angel a homemade thank you card. Words can’t express how much we appreciate you all. Baby wipes are the most important and valued item on my updated list. Thank you so very much for this opportunity. I will get my life back, and I will pay it forward, just as soon as I am able. That is a promise. Thank you again for helping my son.

  242. Victoria (2206) That list is set to private on this post. There is a public list for one child (D) on it, but not four.
    The linked post 2090, has four additional kids on it?
    It’s confusing for those of us who are looking to buy.

  243. Stitchress I was able to post as Mom of 3 # 2237, I had to change the item for my daughter as I noticed gift cards were not good to ask for, and the wish list link changed I believe but it is http://a.co/buz4hrJ in case it did not change. I do not want to have my hopes up twice when others are in need just as much. This is my first post, I have seen others adding things to theirs today but I have just posted today so only hoping to have an angel help with anything. I hope this does not cause problems with the list, I do not think my first one went through and only think the link changed possibly due to removing the Starbucks card to perfume but maybe not. Thank you for your help and hope this helps some. Merry Christmas to you and yours <3

  245. Sorry I removed the phonics game which was to much

    Please add me to the master list

  247. My first post was at #999, and I have three kids in Arcadia, La – 12 & 16 year old girls and a 14 year old boy. Big thanks again to the two people who sent gifts from my kids’ wishlist; I’m sending Amazon thank you notes as I get them.
    I just updated their list to add in the clothing they need most. The coats leftover from the original list are still highest priority, but they also need a mix of jeans (both girls), shoes (just my son), and warm pajama-type pants (all three kids). We haven’t yet been able to replace the cold-weather stuff the kids have out-grown since our income was so sharply reduced in recent months, so any help at all would be an amazing blessing and deeply appreciated.

    Thanks again to Jenny and all the elves out there making the Christmas magic real!

  248. Good Afternoon, my name is Jason and I hate to have to post on here, but a coworker told me about this site last night and I have to give it a try for my daughters.

    We have had a really tough year. In March, my wife was in a terrible car wreck that left her hospitalized for almost 2 months…losing out on her paycheck and accruing tons of medical bills.

    Thankfully she is almost fully recovered now and done with therapy, but Christmas in our house is looking pretty sad.

    I am at my wits end just trying to make ends meet, and would love to be able to provide a few gifts for my daughters.

    I made a small wish list with 2 gifts and a need for both of them. If James Garfield is able to provide another Christmas miracle headed my way it would be so amazing. I believe I followed all the rules listed, but scrolling through this incredibly long page on my phone is hard to go up and down double checking.

    If I screwed anything up please let me know.

    Our link is http://a.co/5vKX07o

    Thank you for reading and considering helping me. Merry Christmas everyone and may 2019 be a much better year for everyone!

  249. missrandomthoughts you are on the master list already, if you can please try to post with the same name, and give a little time before getting nervous that you aren’t on the list…the mom of 3 post was barely 30 minutes ago…I put it up almost as soon as it posted. I am trying to work through the lists as quickly as possible and let people know if there are any problems that I notice.

    Please don’t post your link with every comment, as it will slow me down 🙂

  251. Nicole (#1036), one of your items won’t arrive until Dec. 19 (I just got a delayed delivery message). I hope that works OK for your artist! Kate H., one of James Garfield’s helpers.

  252. Hi everyone,

    I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

    Please, please if anyone finds it in their heart to help.

  255. Post 2247 I know there may not have been a cap on add ons posted , but $320 is a bit high, can you trim this some, considering so many still haven’t even gotten a toy?

  257. Hello ladies running the master list. Thanks for doing such a great job. I had posted 617 for my sister’s 2 kids and it was removed . I’m just wondering if it was a mistake? The only updating to the list i did was switch the flannel sheet and blanket for a cheaper version because the price went up since it was added.

  258. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/32UWZFDOW06UG

    Hello everyone,

    It’s friday and I added some snacks and a subway card and some warm clothes for my son. Please don’t think I am trying to get too much, by all means delete if not allowed. And of course if others have received less or nothing please bypass us and buy for others. I have been so emotional about this all and all of the kindness we have been shown. Just know no matter what you all have made this momma more happy than she has been in ages!

  262. I originally posted a list for the three children of a friend of mine who is out of work recovering from open heart surgery. Shortly after I posted, some wonderful angels swooped in and filled the list, and these kiddos will be so excited on Christmas morning! Their parents and I are so grateful for this wonderful blessing. The blog post said to come back Friday if there was a need for pajamas or such items. I have added to the list socks for each of the boys and a pair of lounge/pajama pants for the teen girl. If anyone would like to see the list or consider helping with these items, here is the link. Again, we are in the Deep South, USA.

  267. was 663/1041/1835

    I waited until Friday as Jenny said above to add some underwear for my daughter and socks for my son plus a fun clothing item for each.

    We were blessed by amazing hand me downs for our Cerebral Palsy MicroPremie Warrior. Plus, he is a slow gainer with his complex medical issues. Even with his feeding tube to help, he has only gained 2 pounds in last year. I did add some gloves for him.

    Since I don’t see any new posts I am so happy that everyone was helped! If anyone would like to help with these needs I would be thrilled. It is hard staying on top of laundry with 23 weekly therapies, 14 specialist doctors, and all of his complex medical needs.

    Much love for your consideration!

  268. Anonymous 2264 The instructions state that you must make a new list, this prevents confusion and suspicion that anyone is trying to seem like they aren’t receiving any gifts. We are just trying to keep things as organized and simple as possible. I’m sure next year will be smoother 🙂

  270. I am Originally post 2157 . I don’t want to post my link again so it doesn’t get confused on the master list. I just realized that the address on my list wasn’t working. Anyone if you tried please try again. So sorry I didn’t realize I had to set it up on the wish list as well. I have 3 gifts under 35 for 2 girls. One with Down syndrome. Heat went out at home and had to dig into saved money to fix it. Any help is very much appreciated.

  272. Stitchress, regarding post #2255 – I’d be happy to delete all the unpurchased toys/books/etc from the original wishlist, if that’s okay. I just wasn’t sure how much we were supposed to change and/or whether removing any original items might be too much editing and make it confusing or hard to recognize as the same list. That’s why I dropped all that stuff to lowest priority, so at least it would hopefully stay at the very bottom of the list. 😉

  273. Hi Stitchress. Yes that was the two toys someone got the little guys that night and I thanked them I thought we where allowed to add today items if we need to I added diapers and wipes if not I completely understand thank you

  274. Stitchress thank you for all your help I am sorry I do not want to cause any problems, I am a nervous mom by nature more so after seeing the diagnosis of my little one. I will post with this name but have no idea what my number is, will I need to know it at all. Please take your time and let me know when you have a little free time, I see you are working hard here and also are in need <3

  275. Anissa Telle #2267 – you have to choose the sizes and colors (where applicable) for your daughters undies and the Hamilton shirt, then save it to your list. Same with your sons jacket. I’d hate to see them get bypassed because people didn’t know what sizes you needed.

  276. missrandomthoughts you’re fine, you’re on the master list already, you don’t need to do anything else but have a super happy holiday!! 😀 <3

  277. Hi Stitchress…there are two things: “Anonymous 2217, I swear I’m not trying to be difficult, but could you please put toys/books/coats/socks for your 6 yr old. up to $35…….”
    1 is $14 and the other is $20….sooooo…? isn’t that thirty five? One is a book the other is a toy…?

  278. I just want to thank everyone for being patient with us <3 If you are still certain you need to be on the master list, and you are not, please let me know. You don’t have to post your link again, just let me know your post number and I will work from there 😀 happy xmas everyone!!

  281. I’ll get rid of the toy if you want…I really don’t know what to do….I mean the book can be bought cheaper but I don’t know how to select for that…

  283. anonymous 2277 I was just clarifying the rules. I think I’m getting old, my 6 yr old would rather a toy than a vampire book haha 😀

  285. Ridiculous request…. I’m poster 1065 and was wanting to add a couple warm clothing pieces for my oldest. However, I’m a typical dorky dad and don’t know what’s “cool” 😂😂😂 any chance someone could help? My other 2 can use hand me downs from their brothers but the oldest has no one to get them from. Anyone want to make a couple suggestions? He’s 11 years old and already has to deal with bullies, I could use some help if anyone could?

  286. GSH 2284 Please give us a few minutes, you just posted your list 3 minutes ago…I will verify your list and add it to the master asap.

  287. Oh yeah he loves spooky things and the ology books are a very cool series he loves…there’s Mythology, Egyptology, Dinosaurology.,..they come with lift the flap and touch and feel and other little trinkets inside…if someone does get it for him he’ll be thrilled…if not I can probably get it for his birthday (he’s going on 7, as he constantly remind me–I’m feeling a bit old myself lately :/)

    Victoria (2206) That list is set to private on this post. There is a public list for one child (D) on it, but not four.
    The linked post 2090, has four additional kids on it?
    It’s confusing for those of us who are looking to buy.

    Not sure why 2 lists are coming up. I just double checked and it is public with all 4 children on it.

  290. I have gone through the master list and removed any “invite” links I found and replaced them with the proper links to avoid all the emails for buyers looking at lists. <3 🙂

  291. Hi,

    I added some boots to my list for my daughters. They currently do not have any snow boots and are not being allowed to play outside at recess without them as it has been snowing heavily. I understand that rules are rules but to them they feel they are being singled out. Really it is my fault as a parent, I feel terrible about it but I cannot afford them. We would all greatly appreciate it!!!

  293. @Serine23 What is the name of the FB group? I’ve been dealing with a shit volcano this week, so I haven’t been able to get to the the list. Or keep up with the comments here. Sorry! I will try to get to it tonight or tomorrow.

  294. Hey everyone! Original post 1094, came back to add undies, socks, and snacks for kiddos as allowed. We have received 1 item per child (maybe 2 for one kid, I can’t see it correctly!), and am super thankful! We restarted our lives after a violent relationship ended, and in the last 3 years we have come ridiculously far. Our kids: A (girl 5), P (girl 9) , S (boy 11) and Z (boy 15) are super understanding about the holidays. The boys tend to have less stuff than the girls because they are harder to buy for and the 15 year old is not either of ours biologically (we took him in after he was repeatedly tossed around). Any help is appreciated and I pay it forward however I can. We don’t have MONEY but I am happy to donate our STUFF (clothes, toys, shoes) to any families in need in portland oregon. i’m not really able to ship things as getting to the post office is a challenge with 4 kids and no car.

  298. Thank you to whoever purchased the coat for my Ro! I was so worried, then when I checked my list, it said the jacket was out of stock. I looked for another one to replace it, added the new coat, checked my list to make sure it posted, and saw the original jacket had been purchased! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

    Does anyone know if we can post our adult/other lists now, or if there are rules for them?

  299. Hi Stitchress! Can everyone give Stitchress a great big hand, and a thank you? It got crazy so quick…. wait, it was already crazy. I’m back to lend a hand. I recharged my batteries for a little bit, and my heart feels lighter. I’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to Kristen Smith for elevating me, and her unbelievable kindness. Thank you Jenny for your clarity and sweet words. Thank you Stitchress for keeping the ship afloat while I soothed my nerves. I’m on the master list, and looking over these last few hundred posts and trying to reconcile some of them. Thanks for your patience everyone.

  303. I’m shouting Violet Sage! Would love a hand. I’m working on removing fulfilled lists right now. Looks like the list is updated to 2265, so maybe you could nab those last 35 comments? Can you edit or only comment? Meet me there!

  310. Thank you for the oatmeal toilet paper and sanitary pads, you have no idea how big of a deal that is for my family. My next paycheck is going to the tow company to get my car back, so knowing we have a little something to hold us over is a Godsend. I still don’t know why they took it from my private driveway so I’m sure there’s a fight in my future. Wish me luck, and thank you for your kindness and understanding.
    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/NVA7CF3V435B

  311. So… I’m realizing something, people might not see the little triangle next to the number on the sheets. There are comments there. I’m going to put those directly beside the list for visibility.

  312. Anonymous 2310 PLEASE do not post your link with every comment! You are on the master list already. This can cause confusion and chaos, thanks 🙂

  314. can anyone let me know if I posted the right link? i reposted today and feel like I may have done the invite thing. post 2258

  316. To Serene23 and Stitchress, I cant believe what a Herculean task you took on! Fantastic job you’re doing, and much appreciated.

  320. Stitches i posted earlier about list 617 being deleted. Is there something wrong with the list?

  323. Violet Sage, I’m not sure where you see that. You’re on the list. 1094. Right there, I even just did comments for what’s on it so people can see at a quick glance. Double check please?

  324. @Serine mine is missing. I spoke to you right before you left at comment 2167. You put it on the list right before you left and now it’s gone it was at 116

  325. Serine23, I saw your comment this morning (at #2110) saying you’d added my kids’ list to the Master list, but I can’t find it on there. I was originally post #999, so that’s the number I looked for. Would it be under something different?

  326. @serine23 i was JUST added back by someone!!!! thank you! i wasnt there when i first looked but saw it now! i sent a request to edit so i can help whenever that gets approved. thanks for all you are doing!

  327. OK, everyone! Hear ye, hear ye. I’m doing something I wish we’d thought of WAY sooner. On the master list next to the comment number, I’m going through the trouble of saying what’s in the listing… so if some items only remain it says what they are. If it says UNFILLED, it means nothing has been purchased for this person yet. Let’s try to show some love for the lists that haven’t been touched. If you are helping me with the list do like I’m doing…

  329. *IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE MASTER LIST PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR WISHLIST TO MAKE SURE IT FOLLOWS THE RULES!!
    MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE $$ LIMIT $35 PER CHILD
    PLEASE MAKE THESE ADD ON LISTS REASONABLE..THEY SHOULDN’T BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WHEN SOME LISTS ARE STILL UNTOUCHED.
    MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT DELETING PURCHASES..THIS LOOKS SHADY!
    PLEASE DON’T KEEP ADDING IF YOUR LIST KEEPS GETTING FULFILLED! LET’S GIVE SOME OF THESE UNTOUCHED LISTS A CHANCE TOO!! *

  331. 2167 my list is under and has been under the 35 dollar limit. Serine has me on the list as you can look at her comment right after mine. My list was deleted from the Master list and I haven’t had anything purchased.

  334. No ma’am you can look at my link. I haven’t received anything everything I posted earlier is still there no one purchased anything from my list

  335. ATTN Molly from post 1224 / 1596

    I got this email:
    Sorry we missed you. USPS tried to deliver your package today but didn’t want to leave it unattended. Please look for a notice of attempted delivery or contact USPS for the next steps.

    Hope Santa gets to you!

  337. @terry i feel kind of weird posting my email here because i’m a DV survivor and my twitter has my “Alternate” identity…. if you link your facebook or any social media i will privately contact you.

  338. I wanted to thank everyone that bought my children gifts from my list. They have all received at least one gift which they are going to be so super excited and thrilled about. The packages have already started arriving! Thank you so so very much from the bottom of my heart! You guys are all incredible. I have added on a few much needed items (socks, underwear, toliet paper, and sanitary pads). Thank you so much. The items are for my 5 kids (13,12,10,8, and 2) and will be shipped to Searcy Ar. http://a.co/eWgjU4x if this posts twice I’m sorry it isn’t intentional I’m having trouble with my internet.

  340. Add on Friday list comment #2164, original comment #83 and corrected link in #175 (83 was an invite link) Let me know if I need to change anything to be added to the master list.

  341. Our original list was fulfilled, and we could not be more thankful. In fact, I feel embarrassed and greedy to be coming back to add on with some food items, but this is about our kids, and not our pride, right?

    I put two snacks and juice pouches on the list. Since we are constantly on the go, those items allow us to bring snacks for the girls (4 and 11). I also added two candy items for their Christmas stockings.

    Also, my little love told me last night that she was going to ask Santa for some bigger panties (total mom facepalm moment), and she’s obsessed with horses and My Little Pony, so I did add a package of underwear for her.

    I know it’s awful to ask for more when we’ve already been blessed, so I totally understand if we’re skipped. Every child deserves something under the tree, and I know there are some that are still waiting/have just joined the https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3VJGOHABZ1XSI

    Love and blessings,

  342. Mary L @2338 what is your original post number, that is likely where we will have your link already on the list. You don’t need to post your link with every comment.

  344. Mine is turrylee1974@gmail I don’t think anyone will want to hound a dorky old dad and if they do I’ll just make a new friend lol.

  346. In regards to post 1974 and 1999. I am the one being wrongly accused and I felt the need to explain.

    First off I want to say thank you for hosting the Garfield miracle! Secondly, comment 1974 accused me of being dishonest. I had original posted as EJ (70) for my oldest daughter who was raped and then tried to kill herself I was then going to make a separate post/list for my youngest.

    My original comment was under EJ (70) was originally deleted by gnewfry so I had to repost it as comment 416, after that it was when I realized it was supposed to be 1 list for all kids so I made the new post of comment 806 using my full first name because it kept giving me a error trying to use EJ again. Because I kept making so many adjustments to my amazon list it is now glitched and it wont even let me delete the list. or see what was purchased or anything just keeps giving an error message. I hate that people are thinking I am being dishonest to take advantage when this is not the case. I just did not want to originally use my actual first name on here because it is spelled so unique and I am trying to protect my daughter as everything goes through the court system and she heals.

    It was comment 1974 that unfairly judged without having all the info or even asking questions. This whole process is confusing if you are not used to it. Knowing that orders were cancelled because of comment 1974 I have no clue if anything will be received for either of my girls.

    I have decided that I will return anything we receive.

    I did not want to respond to anything in the comments and start any drama because that will not solve anything but I felt the need to explain. Thank you for doing this for everyone and giving me hope for the first time in over 6 months but I will try to come up with something else for Christmas for my girls even if it means moving Christmas till after I go back to work. I have reached out and submitted a support ticket to amazon to get help deleting the list since like I stated it is seriously glitched.

    I have even been helping with the master list after all of this to help make sure others can have a great holiday. Been helping on the master list as the name Kawaii Punk which is my oldest daughters nickname.

    Happy Holidays everyone!

  347. Thank you Erryn (Kawaii Punk) for continuing to help, and logging many, many hours. I’ve sent you a private message. Whatever has been said and whatever has happened, let’s remember to keep helping each other.

  348. Angie #2341 My little pony undies (and a book about the Best Pony, Pinkie Pie) are on the way from our pony loving family! I sympathize, because I just had to buy undies for my kiddo too, the washing machine must eat them along with her socks.

  349. I’m not sure what’s going on, I can’t see any updated comments since yesterday,so not sure if everything is over or the site is just being weird on my end. Serine23 I got your email, I’m at work right now but will get with you about working on the master list if it’s still needed once I get off. I wanted to wait till today to try to give everyone else a chance because our list was filled the first day because you guys are amazing, I’ve added some socks for my 14 year old and a hoodie for my eight year old, and some hot chocolate for them to enjoy on Christmas morning, if anyone is able, that would be awesome.
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/27K53V5TLVYWT

  350. Cindy @1957 We were trying to send Sophie the UNO game, I have a Sophie and she squealed when she saw the name, and we love UNO, so she brought me $4 from her own change jar, to send this to you <3 melted my heart!! ANYWHO, it says I can’t ship it to your address?

  351. Nancy, you are still on the list, just moving up (you’re at 105 now I believe) as lists have been deleted that were filled. Keep track of the comment number not the line on the spreadsheet.

  353. I am comment 224, have added some needed items as per the original instructions of the post.

  355. Original post 1471 & 2056

    Serine23 and Stichress – thank you both so very much for all of your help and countless hours of generosity being bestowed upon this amazing miracle. I reviewed the comments to the best of my ability to see if I was added to the master list and looked at the masterlist as well and can’t tell if we were added. We haven’t had anything purchased yet and I got news today that makes me feel even more desperate & nervous. We spent the last two days in Boston trying to get to the bottom of the most recent medical issue with our son. We meet with the Chief of Neurosurgery at Boston Children’s Hospital next week. We met with Nathan’s orthopedic spinal surgeon today. A tumor was detected in our son’s spinal column causing a multitude of issues. This will be his third spinal surgery. Nathan is a cancer survivor and we are entering another very scary time.

    I’m exhausted yet hopeful. I made one list for my four kids and would truly appreciate any kind of help we can get. I don’t get paid when I don’t work as I clean offices part-time at night. There’s a chance we could be in the hospital for Christmas.

    If you’d like to follow Nathan’s journey, feel free to find me and follow me on Facebook.

    Thank you so very much and Merry Christmas! ❤️

  357. Hi! I’m writing on behalf of my sister and her super awesome son Max. Max’s dad is an active duty Marine on his 3rd deployment in Afghanistan. He is currently living in a “Tent with 9 other smelly guys” his words, lol. Anyway, my sister and Max live in off base housing and do the best they can, she can only work part time because she is also living with lupus. Max is itching to get a job but he is only 15. His parents have provided him with the things he needs this Christmas (clothes, shoes) and I just got him a gift certificate for drivers ed when he’s old enough in 2 months! But I asked him what he wanted from santa, after rolling his at me over fb chat he said drawing pens. I had originally picked out a game for him but I deleted it and added drawing pens instead. He’s kind of skinny nerd that spends a lot of time with his nose in comic books so I’m not sure why this surprised me. He’s 15 and lives in San Diego, but the pens would come to my house in Los Angeles so I can wrap them and magically “Santa” deliver them for Christmas! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3820208WX5CVK/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

  358. Hi, I was wondering if I could be put on the master list? I added some diapers and sleepers for my youngest. She’s growing out of all the ones she has and could really use some. I was comment 529/739 I think? Thank y’all for everything you have done. We were blessed with some toys/books and coats so we are so grateful already!

  359. Can someone who can help, please consider comment 441? She is my coworker, I told her about this help and now her comment is lost in the chaos. Thank you so much for reading.
    -Jessica H

  360. I can only get to comment 2000…don’t know if that’s an issue for others, but I can’t give if I can’t see them..

  364. I’m sorry I didn’t even realize I hadn’t put my original comment number in the post! Original comment #346.

  365. Anonymous, it’s at the bottom, just click on Newer Comments on the comment board, it’s a little weird. I missed them at first too.

  366. I’m glad to again get the chance to say thank you to those who helped out with gifts for my daughters, to Jenny, and to all of the community for this wonderful event.

    My initial post was #375. My daughters and I have had to relocate after losing our home in Hurricane Michael. Per Jenny’s updated rules, I deleted my first list and made another with some food items that would help us out. There is so much we need and every bit of help lets me fill another need. Pantry goods are just another thing that I have to rebuild. The list consists of items we use a lot for things like smoothies as well as snacks for the girls during the break.

    The list might look a little weird. I did my best to find the best price and in many cases it was a prime only item. My prime renewal would have been last month and I wasn’t able to do it, so I don’t have it anymore and can’t put those items on my list. Instead, I put the link for the better prime price in the comments. Any help would be a bonus on top of a bonus and my daughters and I thank you sincerely.

    Happy holidays to all!

  367. Are lists that were added on to today per Jenny’s rules being added back on to the master list?

  370. Belle Brown #884. Taylor and Sally have something coming. So I believe all of your girls at least have something. Hopefully someone can help you with the clothes. Have a Merry Christmas!

  373. Brandee! Amazon IS showing the coat has been purchased. ((As well as the drawing kit and the head phones)). I am extremely grateful, if for some reason the coat does not show up, I will update. Until then I will assume it has been gifted since Amazon is showing it purchased! A HUGE thank you to every single gift giver here! Have a wonderful holiday! I truly hope your generosity comes back to you all tenfold!

  375. My original post was #1941 and hope my list wasn’t overlooked by the all of the generous people. The things I put on my list would be nice to have for under the tree but the coats are the things they ‘need’ so if you are looking to pick something up please get those first. I understand that they’re close to 50$ and that sucks but they’re the cheapest ones I could find in their sizes with Amazon Prime. I feel scummy posting this again but I’ll do anything for my children. Thank you all for hopefully understanding and hope you have a Merry Christmas.

  378. Hi Becky LaForge, it would be helpful if you afeed the name/age of the child meant fo each item.

  379. Hi! I don’t see my number on the main list. Could you double check when you have time? I added socks pjs boots & mittens this morning.

    Comments 403 / 841/ 2118

  380. I want to apologize for being snarky with the homeschool family post-person. Tomorrow would be our 14 year anniversary, if joey was still alive. I’m still grieving. I got angry and bitter and I know that is not at all what this is supposed to be about. I sincerely apologize if I was ugly. The last thing I want to do is make anyone feel ashamed or attacked. Please know that I am so very grateful to everyone here, including the selfless and hard working folks who are donating their time to work on updating the spreadsheet. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and that your holidays are merry and bright. Take care!

  381. Im not sure if this is the original post # but it says im 2139 on the master list.

  382. Kameko A Musolf (1499) I think you might be struggling to get your list filled as items that are dental? say purchased. Did you purchase these yourself or did someone buy them? Your list is a little confusing…

  383. tjelectric It looks like the lightbrite won’t arrive until after Christmas no matter how I try to ship it. Wanna add something else to your list and we’ll see if we can’t get something else there a bit earlier?

  384. GSH, please read the rules, then post your list, then one of us ninja-moderators will get you on the master list. It’s a little late in the game, but there is still hope.

  385. Schmowzow! Go Team List Masters! I can’t believe we got all of those comments up there. So here is where we stand as a community. 129 lists that are either partially filled or unfilled. Givers, if you can look at the comments and maybe you feel something: coats, diapers, toys. Let’s try to help those who haven’t been helped at all. Here’s the list once more: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?ts=5c13ced8#gid=0

  386. OP#113, first I want to thank Jenny, Sara, and anyone else that bought gifts for my sons, I am truly grateful and appreciative of everyone’s kindness and generosity. I’ve added some household items to my list. But of course, not before all the other lists for others have been filled. Thank you again and Happy Holidays.

  387. Master List team – let’s make sure all list are verified with Unfilled if they have not received anything. I’m working on it, again. My kids are going to start giving me hungry eyes soon though!

  388. @Serine23, I was #999 and thought I already was on the Master list, but I don’t see that post number. I just updated my kids’ list today with some of their clothing needs and took off the toys/books that hadn’t gotten purchased, though I left their coats on there. Can my kids wishlist be added to the Master list?
    http://a.co/izIs92u

  389. re 2138…I don’t see it on the master list.
    Just wondering if I missed it or if it’s a duplicate? Sorry to bother, but I wanted another set of eyes 🙂

  393. Hey Single Dad 2389… I went back to your original post at 2138, I think you just got overlooked in the hubbub. I’ve added you onto the list with comment 2389.

  394. I posted an ereader for my boys to share since they love to read so much. What their momma use to do for them.. I added coats for my boys however. Those would be most important as we don’t have heat at the moment. Didn’t know I could. Sleep exhaustion must have blurred my eyes and concentration.

  395. Hi! Posting last time because I know it’s winding down. My first comment was way back at # 370 (from the wrong invite link) and then # 824.
    Hoping maybe someone can help with my 2 sons coats? My 2 girl’s have coats already. My boys are just growing too fast.
    Have had one item bought for one of my 4 kiddos.
    Merry Christmas everyone!
    Hopefully next year I’ll be an elf!

  396. Please remove 2248 from the master list. Thank you so much again for everything you angels have done!

  397. Okay, I’m not “single dad” but I did write post 2389…so sorry for any confusion.
    I just wanted to buy off his list but wanted to make sure it wasn’t a duplicate plus I’m a bit dyslexic and I transpose numbers occasionally…

  398. Stitchress, thank you for trying 🙂 That is so sweet of your daughter to do that. Im not sure why it would say that….I tried looking up another Uno game to put on there to see if it would help, but they are almost double the price so I guess I will delete the Uno game off of there. Tell your daughter I am very grateful for the sweet gesture tho ♥♥

    I hope that isn’t why the other 2 things weren’t purchased 🙁 Was really hoping to have 2 gifts for each of my daughters, but am blessed to be able to give them each the one.

    Thank all of you hard working elves for doing so much for all the kids that are benefiting from this 🙂

    http://a.co/4nsyqeZ

  400. To Dawn McDonald 2253 – I tried to send your daughter’s items but there is no shipping address for your list! Please fix it so I can send 🙂 I will check the list again later

  401. Jessica #2250, a little something is on the way for your boys! That was an important message you chose <3

  402. SIngle Dad Needs a bit of help to make Christmas happen (2138) The toys are on the way…the tshirt is from a 3rd party seller…sorry.

  403. Hey guys!!! My sister posted on 1876 and has 4 kids. Nothing was purchased and they truly need help! Please consider getting something for her 4 kiddos to help them out! Rio Rancho NM. Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Comment 2353
    AALL | December 14, 2018 at 3:59 pm
    I am comment 224, have added some needed items as per the original instructions of the post.

  406. This list has clothes for each kid and some books they might like. Thanks so much and I hope to be giving back next year.
    http://a.co/cKUL1Tp

    Also 2094 I hate to be that person, but you have 16 items for one child, including a Kindle tablet. I’m feeling horrible because I’m asking for clothes and books. Please stop. My kids have dream gifts but I feel too ashamed to ask. I’m afraid to ask for a cheap Lego set to go with the book I want for them. Some of us were called out for asking for 50 or 60 for one child. You got hundreds.

  407. Thank you ladies for putting me back on the list. I’m originally post 2167. This is my first list and nothing has been purchased as of yet. Still praying for a miracle. I have 2 great little girls. My oldest has Down syndrome. I have 2 coats listed and a wall sticker of Jojo, a set of Jojo curtains for their room and a night light everything is under 20 bucks except for 1 of the coats and I believe its 24. We made sensory bins for them as toys since they love those. I’m praying someone can help. God bless and Merry Christmas. I am on the Master list under 2167

  410. 2310 here and I am so grateful for the oatmeal and toilet paper and am sorry I screwed up the list thing. And thank you for the sanitary pads again a big thank you. I am not touching anything again I am sorry I misunderstood the second part of this, I am not even going to look at the list again. I am sorry if I gave the impression of wrongdoing, I did not mean to.
    Again thank you for your kindness and help. You are beautiful people!

  415. Thank you Serine I just update the coat there is now a prime one on there. It was prime when I put it on but I guess they changed it. Thank you for pointing that out.

  418. I need help getting some things for my grandson I just took in. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. He’s 2 and special needs. Yes, he still drinks out of bottles, but I haven’t been able to get anything because I’m only living off of a SSI check and paying all the bills myself. He needs a lot of things, but I didn’t list everything, just the things that seem more reasonable.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LEA9S6IWI4G1

  419. I don’t think asking for a microscope that will also be used at Co-Op is fair. Your Co-Op should provide one for all the kids if science is part of the curriculum there. Or perhaps all the parents could pay and additional fee to the Co-Op to purchase one. This would be like a teacher posting asking for gifts for her students. Not the right venue.

  423. Erica Barron from Austin, you have items coming to your kids. Happy holidays
    Note: sorry if comment is duplicate, my computer went blank as I submitted my comment.

  427. Victoria Lucero did you try to filter it to see if the items had been purchased?

  428. NinnerNanner you may have more luck if you trim the list a little, it’s a $35 limit for toys/books, then you can add coats/socks etc if they need them

  429. You last minute angels who stick it out do my heart so good….
    Those of you needing a last minute miracle…never stop hoping…

  433. I guess I was removed from the list I just want to say I am grateful for the help and Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the food and sanitary items. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope 2019 is better for us all.

  435. I wish, with all of my entire being, that I was joking when I say that when it rains, it pours.

    After all the wonderful angels on here who helped ensure my kids have a great Christmas, I was on cloud nine today driving home from work.. and in the fog out of nowhere appeared headlights. I panicked, went off the road and hit a culvert. I was alone and thankfully not hurt (much) but my truck is totaled. Granted, it wasn’t much to begin with but now the airbags are deployed, the windshield shattered because of that, the front axle snapped.. I’m still shaking so badly at all the what-ifs.

    I have collision insurance so maybe I’ll have A shred of good news and they will be able to salvage it. If not, well.. I can’t even allow myself to think that. Either way, I can barely afford to survive so this is just the proverbial icing on the cake.

    I know I asked for help earlier, and maybe it’s some weird karma for asking for food help? In any case, my situation is even more desperate now. I’ll figure out everything one step at a time but my focus is my kids. I can go without, do without.. they shouldn’t have to. Please, if anyone can find it in their hearts to help us one last time I would deeply appreciate it. I won’t repost this or ask again since I already feel like a failure just based on my awful luck. I’ll cross my fingers, hope and see what happens. Thank you.

  438. Pam @2435 can you trim that list down some? There are still so many that haven’t had any list filled, they haven’t had even 1 thing purchased for their littles, we would like to give everyone a fair chance for any last minute angels helping out 🙂

  439. It says 1 was purchased. The kthers just disappeared. 🤷 Should I add them again. Not sure why this happened. The gifts for my 1, 2 and 4 yo aren’t there.

  440. Kasey Leann Rockhill You have multiple, separate lists on here. 2030 & 2079, which are both over limit. (plus 516, 1443, and 1679 – All deleted) – Just stop

  442. Okay, I took off several things – I tried to think of what would be good for several meals!

  443. I readded the unpurchased items to my list. Not sure why they disappeared once o e item (period pads) were bought… Also, to whomever bought those for my Ami thank you!!

  446. One link was broken. So I made a new one. Then the other one was the gift link. The new one is the things we need, I thought I explained that but I guess I didn’t. The other one is for my grandmother, has nothing dealing with my two kids, I explained that as well.

  447. ATTN: Sandra in the UK (#1823) – you appear to have no address associated with your wishlist. This means no one will be able to send you anything.

  448. Kasey Leann Rockhill – In 2069 and 2079 You state “my list was fulfilled mostly” but nothing is showing up in purchased sections of any of your lists.

  449. The list for post 474 was fixed but her wish list is still not on the master list. She only has 2 items on there, both are prime items, and she fixed the issue with her address. Is there anyone left who would be willing to show her kiddos some love? I confess I’m a bit biased, she’s my sister. I only wish I myself could be the one to fulfill the list for her. Thanks!

  450. Please remove 824 form the master. They are each receiving something! I’ll remove my list as soon as I can send thank you s.
    To whoever blessed my children- there are no words to thank you enough!!! I’ll pass it on one year as soon as I’m able. Y’all are amazing!

  451. Rachel and Elizabeth (686) I was about to gift you, but it says you’re in Jakarta? Is that right? Could be why it hasn’t be shipped, because the shipping is very expensive. Please verify.

  452. Also, I’m totally willing to help with the spreadsheet if y’all need help, Stitchress & Serine! 🙂

  453. Okay! So, one item for my oldest was purchased (or Amazon is telling me so anyway). The other three (a ride on toy, crayola light toy and cookie monster) were readded after disappearing off my list. Comment #2090. I double, triple quadruple checked checked it and everything is there and unfilled. 🌼 Not sure what the technically issue was. My apologies for the late response guys, the cell reception at the cancer Center is almost nonexistent.

  455. I came back not out of greed but to add some things my boys need. Our gas has been off for 2 months not. Sadly we have little income now and other bills. We have water bill, electric bill ,gas bill and rent. We use electric heaters for heat.We have been living without gas in order to simply live. These items will help my boys stay warmer. Thank you for you help, We will not only appreciate it but forever grateful .

  456. Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong or if I was just too late posting? Feeling kind of desperate and don’t know where else to turn. I posted last night when I got off work and again this afternoon for my 2 girls Trinity and Serenity. I listed just 2 wants for them under the posted limit and 1 need for each of them.

    My posts were 2097 & 2248

    Thank you and Happy Holidays to everyone, may 2019 be a better year for everyone 🙂

  457. Hi again, I’m really sorry to repost but I looked and I’m not on the master list. Two of my children have been gifted, and I am Sooooo appreciative!! I am only reposting as one child has not been gifted as of yet, and all she wants are books. Either of the ones on the list would be wonderful if both can’t be covered. I just don’t want her to feel left out.

    Original comment 869.

    Thank you again so much for the generosity, and love! I plan on paying forward next year and hope to at least help one child on the list!

    Merry Christmas 🎄

  458. Victoria Lucero–Yes, I sent the pads; they should be there Monday. 🙂
    Merry Christmas!

  459. This year has been a hell of a year for us. We were kicked out in Jan because I went back to school. I was terminated from a company I built for 13 years in May. (His dad terminates me) I took a temporary job from July – November. Now I’m unable to find work. 😞 I’m behind on my vehicle note, property note, life insurance & all credit card bills. I just don’t know what to do.

    My 6 year old child wont understand that Santa may not be able to provide what he has asked for. This has been the worst year ever. I don’t even have ornaments or stockings as his dad kept all my stuff.

    I will also take any work possible. I’m a licensed phlebotomist & Ekg certified. I was a secretary for 13 years. I just need work to provide for my son & to catch up. Please let me know if you know of any work or ways to provide for my son.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/9Jyh6Ej

  460. So Amazon hates me I guess. 🙁 Now it says there are no purchased items. And all 4 are on my unpurchased list. 🤷 Not sure if it’s my broken phone or the poor cell service in the hospital that’s doing this. #2090

  461. Jz : just saw your message. Not sure why they jumped back to “unpurchased” 🙁 I’ll make sure to make a note. 🤷🤷 sorry for all the confusion. This sick momma is full of anxiety. 😭

  462. Renee Byrne, there is a $35 limit per child for the list, please consider editing as you have about $500 worth of stuff on there.

  463. Jason, post 2456, I in no way wish to discourage you, but this has been going for many days, and there were hundreds of lists filled before we got to this point. Unfortunately there are more who need, than those able to give, and at this pointyou are pretty far down on the list. It’s not about you doing anything wrong, just a lack of funds and givers, and the event is in its waning stage. Don’t give up though!

  464. Renee 2459, yes, you need to cull your list. There are folks at this point trying to get diapers and food, and peoples resources for giving are running down. When your list meets the rules it will be added to the Master List.

  465. Anon -yes, my gift list was mostly fulfilled, I deleted it, and made one for the things we need, like I thought we could after today. I never said I didn’t get anything off my gift list. I’m not trying to sound rude, but I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong?

  467. Kasey #2465 I think you were not supposed to delete your list that was fulfilled. I believe it was acceptable to add to the list for needs but deleting a list seems fishy/suspicious, you know?

  468. Hi you lovely people 🙂

    I didn’t want to repost until today. My original list (comment #940, I believe, from Portland) had three items, one for each kid. A generous commenter picked the one for my oldest (thank you!) but I think we got buried and the other two are still there. One item is pants, which I know probably isn’t quite what folks were looking for, but my middle girl is constantly looking for things in her room to give away, so a new toy probably isn’t quite right. These pants would replace a pair she has that are the brand and color, but in a bigger size. She’s had them since she was much smaller, and she won’t stop wearing them, even though they’re about two inches too short. 🙂

    My list with the two items that weren’t chosen before is here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/04vjUrk

  469. Nothing on my list has been fulfilled. If not their toys, coats and soap would be greatly appreciated!!! # 2219

  470. I cut down the list a lot. Only a few things on there. I’ll find away to get a lot of the things we need another way. I mean I know this isn’t guarnteed, but I legit thought we could post the things we need and be okay. I wasn’t expecting people to buy everything.

  473. It was a mistake on my part. I’m not asking for toys and stuff. It was legit things we need like diapers and wipes, food, and clothes, but I have taken off everything but the clothes and candy for the stockings.

  474. Whoa, I didn’t realize there were still so many lists unfulfilled. I deleted the socks and hoodie I added, much more important that everyone gets a gift. I hope it’s able to happen! Merry Christmas everyone, thank you for bringing so much joy and community! I love you guys!

  475. Off the the right, just after comment 2000, it says “NEWER COMMENTS →” click that to see page 2

  476. I can tell you what I got off my list though, 2 stocking $12.99, coloring books $6.99 each, Crayons $5.08 for both. Not much because I was waiting for to post the things we need. I didn’t mean to break any rules or anything.

  477. Pure Heart 827, letting you know, I’m deleting your list from the Master, everything has been filled except for the coat which is out of stock.

  478. Am #1500 and just wanted to say a big thank you to Jenny and everyone here in this community. I hope you all have a great holiday season. I also want to thank the person who got my kids something for the holiday. I won’t ever forget them. THANK YOU ALL.

  482. I am original post 2167. I want to thank whoever purchased one of the coats off of my list.I only have one coat left a set of curtains a sticker and a nightlight. This is my first list hoping there are more Santas out there who can help.

  483. Evening. My name is Kortez. I waited until today to post because my children need cold weather items more than anything. I have two children. A 16 (almost 17) year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I tried to find the best, but least expensive item for each. Here is my list: http://a.co/1E1pnO4

    Merry Christmas!

  484. Kasey Leann Rockhill–Please don’t worry. You’ve been transparent and haven’t been trying to hide anything on purpose. It’s just the general rule, for a very good reason, that nothing should be deleted. No one is upset with you–we just want to see your list be filled, which usually won’t happen if you are over the limits or asking for too much. I wish we could take care of everyone, with as much as they need, but it’s not possible. I’m sending you good thoughts and some jammies.

  485. Maribeth #505, bat puppet and book should arrive by Tuesday. Harley Q shows Dec 21 to 27th. Let’s hope it makes it before Xmas. Hope you and your girls have a wonderful holiday!

  487. I’ve got three grandkids and am living on a limited income with just my disability check. Their mom is in jail and I’m their only family. If you could help, I would sure appreciate it. My neighbor told me about this list and if you could find it in your heart, they just need some shoes and sensible things, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Here is the link to the list, I hope I’ve done this right, I had one of the kids help. http://a.co/5f5TCBd

  488. OMG!! I have been so wrapped up with the master list and checking everyone elses list, I hadn’t looked at my own….YOU people are all so amazing!! I’m in tears..as usual hahaha..but I see that someone bought my 2 small ones jackets! I am so thankful for all the things! I was really doubtful knowing that I have a lot of kids this year, and even just asking for 1 or 2 items, staying under limit, it was a LONG list! I never expected as much as has been sent already!

    Thank you all who thought of us, I hope I can finish the list

  489. Carol #664, The Friends Creative Tuning Shop is on the way. Amazon says Dec 26th delivery, but I hope it gets there before Xmas. Hope you and the family you posted for have a wonderful holiday!

  491. I’m sorry to ask for more when you all have done so much for my family and others but I’m desperate. I added lots of baby wipes because my 2 year old and grandmother use them I also asked for lysol wipes to help me clean up potty training accidents and grandmother accidents thank you all for everything you do for us in need you are my angels Wish List

  492. Sorry for posting again. I’m really starting to freak out guys… It would mean the world to us for our toddler coats and bath set to be fulfilled. We do not have heat at the moment and my babies are cold often in our basement apartment. #2219 😞😭

  493. Ke’Ara – some thermals are on their way to your kiddos. Going to be a few extra days because I don’t have prime, but should still be there before the holidays.

  494. Heide Burgess (1504),
    I’m trying to buy things off your wishlist but your shipping address doesn’t seem to be entered. Please fix and I’ll check back.

  495. Thank you to however bought my daughter pjs – my sons had become unavailable so i deleted and added some new ones that are actually cheaper!
    Our list is for 2 kids and has sanitary pads for me (I’m sorry but its a need monthly that is expensive ) it has diapers and soap on it as well. We are in new Mexico. I am a single mom who while I work it barely makes ends meet. This is our first Christmas not in a shelter- and thanks to you all it will be great! 🎅🎅🎅🎅

  496. LaTanya, I’ve sent Ian’s coat for riding on his scooter. That list (1438) is now complete and removed from the master list!

  497. Anonymous #804, The pillow and art easel should arrive Dec. 16. The first item on your list is no longer available, BTW. Hope you and your kids have a wonderful holiday!

  498. I am original post 2167. I want to thank whoever purchased one of the coats off of my list.I only have one coat left a set of curtains a sticker and a nightlight.This is my first list hoping there are more Santas out there who can help.

  499. stitchress or Serene23 I am trying to find myself on the master list. You had said I was 1732. I looked and it has disappeared. Someone got the mittens so thank you so much for those but that seems to be all and I just want to make sure as someone above was saying amazon was having issues. Is this true and other things are coming ? Anyone know

  500. I was asked to change my wish list
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/297P4F1LYPH6U

    #1953 #1906 #1909 # 1910

  501. Jess/474, the first hoodie says it cannot be shipped to a wish list
    Can you fix it?

  502. Serine23, Stitchress, and everyone else who has helped with the Master list: THANK YOU! I could never have sorted through to find lists without purchases yet so I am very grateful to all of you for making it possible for me to help a few more families. You are all amazing for tackling that herculean task! A very Merry Christmas to you all and to everyone else who’s been a part of SJGXM 2018!

  503. Nancy, I notice you reposting, granted without your link but your post number a lot. We still have to sift through these comments. You are on the list. Thank you!

  504. Hi,

    I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

  505. I didn’t realize it posted twice . It was a duplicate comment. I wanted to Thank the person who got one of the coats. I’m sorry

  506. Just a note to say that I have been following along in the comments and I am in complete awe of the generosity and love shown here.

    The esteemed leader of our tribe, Jenny, has always given so much of herself to make sure that none of us feel scared and alone. You are so very loved, Jenny, and so very necessary to this world.

    To all those who are giving up their time (and probably some of their sanity) to try to keep up and moderate a Master list (Serine, Stitchress, and others… You are amazing and wonderful human beings. You deserve a medal, a glass of whiskey (if you like) and a foot rub.

    To all those wonderful, selfless, people who are playing Santa, Elves and Angels to those of us who need a little boost this holiday season, you give me hope. Sometimes just a little hope is all we need in order to make it just one more day.

  507. Hello Serine, per your request, here is my sister’s list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2O3BL3LM9GXO4
    She was originally comment 474 but I guess she borked it somehow, then fixed it & left a comment later on. I had noticed it wasn’t on the master list (her first comment or the second one) so I thought I’d ask since I’ve got a bit more free time than she does at the moment. She’s got just 2 things on the list, one for each of her girls.
    Thanks again! This is just so amazing to watch go down every year. 🙂

  508. Anonymous 2501 hmmm, that’s perplexing. I’m not sure what’s going on there but I’ll text my sister and ask her to look at it since I don’t have access to her account stuff. Thanks for the heads up!

  509. JESS!!!!
    Second hoodie cannot be shipped to a wish list…If you fix it or add something else, I’ll send it.
    (sorry for yelling…I did comment earlier but wanted you to see…If we cross, my apologies)

  511. Anonymous 2416

    Thank you so much!!!!

    I received the first items purchased and the packages came with slips to send a thank you note. I love this option! And I suggest everyone to send a thank you to their elf/angel. Merry Christmas! 🙂

  512. Anonymous 891, 3 books were purchased, the others would push over the limit. So I’m removing you from the master list. If you have a couple of less expensive ones that would likely be ok, but might be tricky to fill at this point. Thank you!

  513. OK, so I’m putting something out there, no one feel pressured, but if you feel you have been helped, or helped enough, can you please post here to have your list removed. There are several people who have pulled their lists (thank you!) in order to get other people’s needs met. If you wish to, please post your name and comment number and I will delete your list from the master. Do not feel pressured to remove your list if you need things. Big love to everyone still gifting!

  514. Anonymous #940, the geode kit should arrive Dec. 16, the pants Dec. 18th. Hope you and your kids have a wonderful holiday! Serine, if you see or any of the others working on the master list see this, I believe this fulfills this list.

  515. Anonymous #1557 – my kiddo loves Baymax too! I hope yours will enjoy 🙂 It’s supposed to arrive on the 18th.

  517. LOL that’s ok, anonymous. I texted her about both, she is heading home shortly from the girls’ basketball games so she will fix it then. Thank you!!! <3

  519. I added some things to our list mainly needs. Thank you for who have helped us with Chrsitmas Gifts. Single mom of three. I also added a few birthday gifts for Annika who turns 16 this week. The highest priority item is the boots for my son Malakai. he needs that style for the soft bendy part around the ankles. He has autism and does cannot wear stiff boots. Also needs a coat but boots are more important. Anything would help.
    Original Post 866

  520. Posting Anon on purpose___ It breaks my heart to know that people need diapers, food and medicine while others are just taking anything they can. Seeing all of these posts with people asking for $100+ items and those deleting and refilling their lists, exhausts me and reminds me why I stay away from people in general. I had hoped to get some things that my family needs today but I give up.

  521. PureHeart…One of the items isn’t due to arrive until the 24th, so don’t panic.

    (Does anyone know if recipients get shipping info from Amazon?)

  524. Hello everyone, i added socks and pajamas to my list for my 3 children, they can sure use them. We have received one book, thank you for that! I looked on the master list and it says we have received toys and that is not correct.. Maybe my list was mixed up with another somehow? Thank you for looking and thank you in advance to anyone that might want to help my family. Happy holidays to everyone!

  525. Anon #2520, I’m fortunate to be a gifter, and I am feeling similarly. I want to help, but this project is becoming a downer for me, which is so sad because I have so enjoyed sharing gifts in the past. The needs of the world are mighty. I wish I could fulfill all the Christmas wishes.

  527. I’m sorry but why post negatively? Everyone is doing their very best to survive, and those who take advantage…well if they’re okay with it, then they suck, but I won’t let it take away my looking for those who don’t take advantage…
    I suggest that if this bothers you, then there are other ways to give, as Jenny has suggested… 🙂

  528. Erica, #1463, you don’t have a shipping address for the calico critters, can you update?

  531. Hello everyone. I am post number 775. I was over the $35 limit per kid as I had added underwear’s, hats and gloves and pajama for each of the kids. I have taken the underwear’s, gloves and hats off and left the kids pijamas as they really need those. By the way, two pajama have been purchased already, thank you.

    You guys are amazing.

  532. I added some food and socks to my kids lists but I’m not sure if there’s guidelines to doing that? Can anyone help me?

  533. I’m from Fort Worth and am a mom of six, ages 11 – 19. (Per Jenny’s guidelines, I have only created lists for my youngest four, ages 11, 13, 14, and 17.) This time last year, I was recovering from back and hip surgery while awaiting knee surgery. What a difference a year has made! I was able to return to school this semester (I was 2 semesters away from graduation when I was injured.) I graduate in May, and have a job waiting once I get my degree. Until then, finances are very tight. They cover monthly bills but don’t leave any wiggle room. Any help you can provide to allow my children to have something under the tree will be greatly appreciated.

  534. Anon 2520 and & W.P. today I got overwhelmed too, but then I’ve been sifting through the list for day, over and over, but when I say overwhelmed, it’s not only the sad part, but the sheer beauty. It is important to focus on the good hearts and overwhelming generosity, the humility for some people to ask because they are so overwhelmed with love and need for those around them, and the gratitude we all feel both to receive and for the opportunity to give. Ignore those other things because they can spoil this delicate and precious thing called giving.

  535. Brandee (comment #2514),
    Thank you so much for your generosity! When things get less tight for us, I’m really looking forward to paying it forward. <3

  536. Serine23. First thank all of you for doing this and those that helped my family. Each kid has 2 gifts we got pasta and my oldest scarf for work so she won’t freeze. Detergent and clothes will come to us in God’s time. Please remove list 1962 so angels can help those that received nothing. Merry Christmas to such an amazing group of people!

  538. Thank you to the person, who bought my daughter the playdoh! You’ve given her months of fun and learning.

  540. Thank you to the person who bought the humidifier. Thank you thank you thank you you don’t know how much easier that will make things for my girl

  541. Anonymous who was looking at my sister’s list – she says she’s fixed it to things that should be able to be gifted. Yay! 🙂

  542. Anonymous 2389, looks like people bought things for your son, but the t-shirt that’s left is not Prime, so it won’t get filled. Something else?

  543. Kelly Schaffer comment 2536 and 1962. Thank you so much for stepping out so that more can be helped. Very kind! Happy holidays to you and your family!

  545. Anon2000 (2537), I don’t know about you, but I feel tremendous gratitude for those that didn’t overpost and followed the rules. So I’m buying a book. Also, my husband hasn’t rolled his eyes once, he’s said: “If you’ve been lucky enough to be able to share, do it.” So I will!

  548. I’m not sure what post I was but I just wanted to post one final time. Thank you for those who purchased each of my kids a gift, and if anyone is still willing to help I have small items (within limits) for 3 of my kids and would love to be able to give them each 2 gifts. If that’s too much to ask I am honestly sorry.

    Thank you.

  550. Anon2000 makes a good observation. #1289/1686 is similar – she lists 5 kids and just 2 gifts for each kid (one kid just has 1 thing listed) and everything’s under the $35/kid limit. I’m gonna hunt around to see if there are others like that…

  552. Cain, #670, one of your items isn’t prime, and another is out of stock until the 20th. Could you update?

  553. Serine23, I took a pause, talked to my partner, and decided to dive back in. thank you for the work you and others have been doing on the googledoc. It is very helpful.

  554. Stitchress – 3 out the remaining 4 littles have something coming Monday, but Xander’s book wouldn’t arrive after Christmas. Is there another or does he want that one even if it’s late?

  555. Could we end the new requests at midnight so that we can concentrate on filling the ones we have!?! We are approaching the cut off for shipping in time for Christmas.

  556. Just to keep the positivity going, I’m sifting back through the list and just found 3 fulfilled lists, which I removed, and several with items purchased off of them, but not complete. This is great!

  557. Seems Aubrey (post #26) only posted twice (the second time because she forgot to add the link to the list). Her list was over the limit but I haven’t seen any comments telling her to fix it so she could be added to the master list. With 2 kids at $35/kid limit, there are several items on Aubrey’s list that could be kept on there (obviously the expensive barber’s chair and the gift card should be removed). Anyway, just noticing that it wasn’t pointed out to Aubrey to fix her list, maybe she can fix it and still be visited by a kind Santa if she looks through the comments.

  559. Well, you said not to give up hope, so I figured I would try and post again before I head into work, here goes nothing! Original post 2097

    My name is Jason and I hate to have to post on here, but a coworker told me about this site last night and I have to give it a try for my daughters.

    We have had a really tough year. In March, my wife was in a terrible car wreck that left her hospitalized for almost 2 months…losing out on her paycheck and accruing tons of medical bills.

    Thankfully she is almost fully recovered now and done with therapy, but Christmas in our house is looking pretty sad.

    I am at my wits end just trying to make ends meet, and would love to be able to provide a few gifts for my daughters.

    I made a small wish list with 2 gifts and a need for both of them. If James Garfield is able to provide another Christmas miracle headed my way it would be so amazing. I believe I followed all the rules listed, but scrolling through this incredibly long page on my phone is hard to go up and down double checking.

    If I screwed anything up please let me know.

    Our link is http://a.co/5vKX07o

    Thank you for reading and considering helping me. Merry Christmas everyone and may 2019 be a much better year for everyone!

  560. 487 with the four children in Michigan seems very similar to the A.H lists previously discussed.

  562. Can someone tell me the rules for adding more items today? There are a couple of things my daughter needs, but they were over the original $35 limit. Jenny told me on FB that we could post for adults in the family as well, but I’m not sure if it has to be added to the original list or if it should be separate lists.

  563. ( 587) Just saw our jackets were bought (thank you mystery miracle worker!) so you can take our list off of your master list!! We are so thankful to have a gift for everyone and jackets for the only 2 that didn’t have them ❤️

  564. Jason 2097 – I did try to buy a thing for each girl, but Amazon gave this shipping error for both items. “There was a problem with some of the items in your order (see below for more information): Sorry, this item can’t be shipped to your selected address”. I don’t know what the problem might be. Sorry 🙁

  565. Liz, 1686, a bunch of your stuff is not Prime. A lot of stuff sells out this time of year, and goes to third parties, can you check your list?

  566. I have 4 kiddos and am in new Mexico. Thank you all so much for granting my kiddos wishes for books- Our list has clothes and diapers on it now. We are trying so hard to get back on our feet I wouldn’t ask for anything unless we truly needed it. I tried finding the least expensive options as well. Thank you all so much for all youve done for so many.

  567. I Need Spoons #684 and 2562. You can add a few items (hygiene, food, etc) but keep it reasonable and similar to the original rules. Thanks!

  568. My name is Gene and I have 3 children of my own, and custody of my nieces 3 after she lost her battle with cancer. My wife also passed this year from a heart attack. I suddenly find myself with 6 kids on disability. My gift wish list WAS fulfilled and I did not realize I was not to delete it when done. This list is for the Friday clothes and food help if everyone else has gotten wishes from the first run first of course.
    My lotneighbor is also a recipient so to avoid confusion I should explain there are 2 mobile homes with a shared lot between with a driveway and shared yard. We are at 153 #1, she is 153 #2.

  569. Original post #1934 Thank you to the person that bought the football for my son he is going to be so happy when he receives it you guys are amazing!! I’m not give up hope that some Angel is going to make my other kids happy for Xmas…
    my name is Judith my husband and I have 4 kids of our own and we are becoming my nephews legal guardian because my sister passed away and there dad is not around so we have decided that we are going to take them in so now that make us a family of 10 … is been really hard this Xmas to by present for everyone … as you guys can see we are a family that loves sports … we know that we have a lot of kids and you guys might not get everything on the list but we thank you for whatever it is the kids would be really grateful… we thank you I advance merry x mass!! We are from Wilmington california

  570. I need spoons, I believe at the moment there are so many active wish lists where children haven’t gotten their lists granted that they are asking for people not to post unless it’s an absolute necessity. Just keep that in mind.

  571. I’ve been clicking though the entire master list and deleted the fulfilled ones. But I only got to 77 (comment 2081) and I need to go to sleep to get ready for a big day tomorrow. Any moderator/helper want to lend me a hand?

  575. BLG 2506, thank you for those very kind words. What a gift! I’m touched and so very happy to help keep Jenny’s gift to this community rolling as long as possible.

  576. I am Becca from 1671. I made a stupid mistake ! I asked for a comforter for my daughter as her wish. And when it came today I found what I added was a sheet set ! I messed up so bad ! If there is any chance of anyone sending her any gray kind of comforter ? I know it is a lot to ask and so many kids still need wishes, but it’s all she asked for and I screwed it up. You can see the list here and under purchase what was sent. I am so sorry to ask ! Thank you to the person who sent her the lovely sheet set. I know she will love it ! Thank you !

  577. I bought a couple books for someone (can’t remember which comment number they were) and Amazon notified me that delivery was attempted, but the address was incorrect. It was for Justin G. in Rayville, Louisiana. I’m not sure what to do. Maybe if you check that your address is correct for that wish list Amazon will attempt redelivery.

  578. Please remove us!! Not sure of our number. We are blessed to have a couple toys coming and winter hat. Thank you for all the hard work

  579. My first post is somewhere in the 350s (356 I think?), and was fulfilled, for which I’m very grateful (now if only Amazon would actually deliver it).

    As it’s Friday and we can repost with necessities, I’ve added a pair of pajamas and box of his night time diapers:

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1H33DMDHK187L

    This is for a 5.5 month old boy in Houston, TX. It doesn’t get cold enough here to really need winter coats (and they aren’t safe for babies in car seats), but footed pajamas are always needed… especially as this kid is growing like a weed. We have WIC for his formula (thankfully, he’s on hypoallergenic formula for allergies), and a good stock of his daytime diapers, but the overnight ones are a bit more expensive.

    And yep, I’m aware I put size 18m pajamas for a 5 month old. He is very tall for his age (27″ at his four month appointment – he’s off the charts for height), and Gerber runs small. Same with the diapers – we buy a size larger for the overnight ones as that helps prevent leaks.

    Thank you!

  580. I’ve seen a lot of wishes for wrapping paper and candy for stockings. These are items that could be purchased at the dollar tree for a fraction of the price. Maybe consider swapping them out for something else.

  581. Autism Momma, I’m not ignoring you, just searching for your post and really want to go to bed. I see a previous comment at 2021 so that’s what I put on the master list. I do indeed see your son has only received mittens. I’ll let you know if I find your list elsewhere. Thanks!

  582. Jason 2097 – I tried to get the nail art and fashion plate and the items still won’t ship with the new address. I tried the slime and lipstick – it looks like they will ship, but the lipstick won’t arrive til after Christmas, maybe not til next year. Do you want to choose something else, or should I get it anyway?

  583. Jason, 2559, sorry but Amazon won’t let me bipass that shipping address error. I think a bunch of folks are trying to help you… I want a “Trinity Original” someday 🙂

  585. Serine23 is it possible to talk to Jenny and close the list? I think it’s a great idea!

  586. I’m Nancy original post 2167 Sorry to post again but I just want to say Thanks to the person that gifted the one coat thanks to the people working on this but it’s so overwhelming. People posting a second list when so many people haven’t gotten a first list filled Like me. Most wont get even 1 gift and others have gotten hundreds. I seen one given an 80 dollar tablet. I have a disabled child and those things are gold in our homes and help our children have a voice but I wouldn’t ask somewhere like this with thousands in need and take away from others. I just dont understand how people can even post even when given permission after seeing so many children haven’t even gotten one gift. I’m gonna go to bed as I’ve sat literally for hours praying for hope. But the longer I wait the more 2nd and 3rd lists of people pop up and get filled before people like me with a first list not even filled.
    With that said thank you again Jenny and the other women helping with this and the 1 person who bought the 1 of the 4 items on my list. I can’t keep looking and refreshing anymore as my hope gets smaller. Big Hugs Goodnight ladies and gentlemen and Ángels on here. Your amazing

  588. Cody is 6 years old. He will be 7 in Jan. Cody loves power rangers, super heroes, paw patrol, trucks, cars, games, etc. we are in Louisiana.

    This year is difficult for us as his dad kicked us out in Jan. He terminated me from my job in May. We weren’t allowed most of out sruff, which made the move even harder. I had a temporary job from July – November. I have been applying all over & just haven’t found work. I have had my fridge go out, ac go out. It’s just been an awful year.

    This Christmas is codys first Christmas with his family no longer together. He is really in need of so much it was hard to put a list tougher. :/

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/76VJYNZ

  589. My list is #2219 I put 2 other toy alternatives instead of their ereader. We would be so grateful to whomever could help fulfill our baby coats and bath soap. 🤞🌏

  590. Shannon comment 989 I don’t know your number on the master list but you have a book coming. I won some money tonight and since my little one was gifted a book I thought I would pay it forward. Blessings and Merry Christmas!!

  591. @Serine23 I’m post #1934 My name is Judith i can help you so you can go get some rest… just show me what to do..

  594. I just added a different lip gloss thing, maybe that one will work! Thank you so much for trying. Sorry to be so frustrating

  596. So before I zonk out for the evening Lynette and others who have asked: I did reach out to Jenny earlier today, I was feeling really burnt out emotionally and I asked if we should cut it off or just let it fizzle out, she said to let it keep going and fizzle out. If Jenny decides to cut it off, that is up to her. I’m just sticking with it, because if I keep moderating maybe some other children will get coats, toys or food in their bellies. Yes, it is tough that lists keep getting added, when the earlier lists need love.. I personally did not have a list this year, or any of the James Garfield, (only Booksgiving) but I can tell you that is rather distressing for those who have so much hope vested to get passed over for the newer lists getting added. There is still some giving going on though!

  603. Anonymous 2600, neither of Renee Byrne’s lists are on the Master List due to this reason, but only Jenny Lawson can delete her lists from the comments board entirely… maybe that will be different next year. Thank you for being so attentive to this though.

  606. If new gifters come in and don’t know about the Master list then people who posted way back or that are in the list are going to be overlooked. Jenny should have the master list posted at the top of the post so gifters go there first and not bypass those in waiting still on their first lists. That’s why my hope is diminishing because those with 2nd and 3rd lists post their links and are the first seen by new gifters that don’t know about the list.

  607. Original post 2098, also on the master list. I saw the snowsuit I had picked out was sold out, I changed it out for a different option. If there’s any angels still helping, there’s a book set for my 9 year old and 2 toys for my 15 month old. Thanks everyone for all your hard work with that list!

  608. Renee Byrne, you don’t need to delete the lists, delete the items. There are buttons on the right that say delete. Please be aware that there are for modest requests, some people are asking for food and hygiene items, socks, underwear, small toys. Please read the limits carefully.

  609. My children were already gifted gifts but I did add some needed underwear, socks, tolietpaper, and sanitary items today. My orginal comment was number 346. Can I please be added back to the master list for those items. Thank you all so much for all that you have done. You guys are miracle workers.

  611. I don’t know if y’all realize but every other year the JG project started on the 7th. This year it started 3 days later. And the first time the secondary list thing has been done. At least if Google is being reliable.
    So while it sucks that some first lists haven’t been fulfilled, it doesn’t seem right to judge the people posting second lists that are within the rules. They waited until Friday as instructed. There was no instruction to wait until the first lists were done. No cut off on anything except wait until Friday.
    I hope everyone’s list gets fulfilled but can we remember that its CHRISTMAS and keep some holiday cheer and goodwill going?

  612. Oops, only able to post on my phone, so instead of being anonymous, I guess I’m now “that”. If there’s still help needed to monitor the list, I’d be happy to help go through them as well

  613. JollyMolly, absolutely! That’s what Jenny said, and that’s what we’re doing! Some folks need socks and hygiene items, they waited and followed the rules. Let’s not point fingers, and let’s understand that the main idea here is helping people, families and children. Sometimes it will be your family, sometimes it will be someone else, but if people complain about being skipped, while understandable, doesn’t feel good to the community and those giving to hear. Let’s be happy for those that are benefiting from kindness… it’s the classy thing to do!

  614. I never said it was against the rules and yes Jenny stated Friday. But everyone who’s posting 2nd and 3rd times obviously is only out for themselves and not worried about children who still haven’t gotten anything at all. Sorry to point out the obvious but if you see a kid on the street hungry and someone offers you a 2nd piece of bread are you gonna eat it yourself or give it to the hungry child who hasn’t eaten at all??

  615. Renee Byrne, you have a further problem which is that you didn’t share your list you created an “invitation” so every time someone clicks on it (mainly moderators) that get subscribed to a bunch of e-mails. I know it’s a lot of specifics but they are there for a reason. Please re-visit the how-to and rules.

  616. Kristina (474)
    (and Jess since she seems to be here a bit)

    One of your items wasn’t able to be sent to a wishlist so you added another, but I think you added for the same daughter that I already purchased for (a black and white check top? Please check. The one I got would be under the “purchased” list, the one that I can’t is still under unpurchased..

  617. Nancy, I hear you, I really do, but toys are not bread. Clothing isn’t even bread. These folks are following the rules and many of them were here early in the event, and have come back later as directed by Jenny. These are the rules Jenny set out, and this is Jenny’s event, and Jenny’s community. Unfortunately life isn’t fair, because if it was all of you, and all of your deserving families would have what they need, and more. I know you need things for the children you love and we want that for you to, but let’s still be happy for the children that will have warm feet and full bellies because of this beautiful event and not bring it down.

  618. Hi, I deleted items they didn’t need as much. The boys need clothing items and would appreciate a book each. I added a menstrual cup for myself because I can’t afford tampons sometimes and end up using old clothes/rags during my period. I picked a cheap one with decent reviews verified on fakespot.com

    http://a.co/gD70Rzj

  619. To WP… Thank you SO MUCH! Really I can not express in written word how much I truly appreciate these gifts from you. These will ensure my boys will be warm and clean.

  620. I have taken the coats off the list and put on a shirt and sweatpants instead. My original post was #1941 but I had re-posted the wish list on post #2375. Thanks for the opportunity.

  621. I’m very happy for the children who have gotten. I just stated what I feel and I’m sure the others with first lists not filled like mine feel the same when they see others asking for more when many kids haven’t gotten anything. Many people who went over the 35 dollar limit or added items after ones purchased now posting a 2nd time. I’m happy for those who have received but also those people who are left in the background need to be brought up to the front as well. If new gifters come and don’t know about the Master list they are not seen and even if my list had been filled I would still be here to point out the many who still haven’t gotten their first list filled. Have a good night everyone .

  623. Kristina 474 (and Jess)
    Please disregard the above ridiculousness. Both original tops are on the way.
    Merry Christmas from this sleepy elf.

  625. Jason 2097 – I sent the slime with contact solution (a recipe requirement) and found a nail art kit Amazon would send since the lipsticks were so inexpensive. Merry Christmas!

  627. As someone here to shop and not ask for anything, your posts certainly brought you to the front but not for the reason you wanted.
    Are wall decals and curtains as important as warm clothes? Really?
    And you’ve had items purchased off your list, so why act like you have been overlooked?
    Have a good night indeed.

  628. Whatever , ridiculousness? Go look at the people who haven’t gotten anything as opposed to the people with 2nd lists filled and tell me what the numbers are. This is supposed to be a Christmas miracle to help children and adults putting themselves before a child that is what is ridiculous . Of course my list won’t get filled because I’m speaking out for the ones who have gotten nothing. That’s fine with me atleast one of the kids who have gotten nothing because their parent won’t speak up may get noticed now and that’s what matters to me.

  629. My apologies nancy…My quote (2623) of “ridiculousness” was in reference to MY previous post to Jess and Kristina…not you.

    I’m sorry you think you’re getting overlooked, but please be kind and don’t make assumptions, okay?

  630. 1 coat was purchased off my list and it was 1 coat. Excuse me for having a disabled child who doesn’t play with toys and likes Stickers and lights. I have a Jojo curtain, a sticker and a night light for 2 kids all under 20 bucks. And as I stated my list won’t get filled because I spoke up for people who are in the back and that’s fine by me. But don’t go there with why I have what I have if you haven’t read my comments nor know about my child

  631. Kate, you are an angel! Thank you so much!

    If there is a mod still on, please go ahead and take me off the master list 2248 on there!

  632. We had a house fire and lost everything, including the Christmas presents we bought last month. Now my kids have nothing to open Christmas morning. I saw a post about this and I hope it’s not to late to have someone look at my list. I’m hoping to get at least one gift per child if anyone is willing. God bless.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19LGTD6B4IBJ0

  633. Nancy, I need to go to bed. Seriously. But there is a big drama. May I suggest you take a deep breath and step away for the evening? This is about kindness and charity, and you are bringing the goodness down. HUNDREDS of lists (the master list starts at 461, all of those prior have been filled) have been fulfilled for all backgrounds and different abilities. Food, coats, toys, art supplies, books, and the majority of these people were reasonable in their requests. They got here early and they were served and cared for by this community. You are putting yourself at the center stage and it is not helping your case, whatever your motives may be. This community is doing beautifully at helping each other, and before I lose my cool, let me point out no one has to do this! I stepped in and volunteered and have tried to make sure every list gets attention, gets seen and hopefully gets filled. I have logged 40+ hours this week, with kindness and compassion, and darn good accuracy, no one asked me to. Your posts are bordering on bullying, not advocacy. No one is judging your list or your choices, or the children you love or their abilities. You are offending people. You are offending me. And like everyone else here, we are trying to help.

  634. Hey! Sorry to post again, but I just wanted to share more about how you all saved Christmas for me and my son. After joey died, my sister stole a check given to me from my church for $2k. She was “helping,” and then cashed the check and wouldn’t give me the money. I was in a tough spot at that point. To make things even worse, she and my father started telling everyone that I murdered joey by driving him crazy and stressing him out. Jj and I spent thanksgiving with a loving family. It just wasn’t our blood family. In fact, Lisa Johnson from Cabot, AR with her 2 precious kids, insisted that we join their family for thanksgiving. Thank you for assisting her with gifts for her caring and compassionate kids. She is struggling also, but still checks on me constantly and helps me when she is able. After thanksgiving dinner, Lisa and her sister ride with me to my mothers house. My mother lives a few blocks away from Lisa’s mothers house, which is where I spent thanksgiving. I thought my mom would be welcoming, but my sister was there screaming murderer at me. I got upset and Lisa’s 6 year old son, Grayson, cried because he thought I was going to jail. My mom kicked me and my 18 month old off of her property. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong since Joey died. The only family my son has remaining is joeys mother. She is a wonderful and loving woman, but she too struggles financially to get by. She is hurting so much also. Joey and I both grew up poor in trailer homes. We both busted our rumps to put ourselves through college and we were quite successful. Then everything just fell apart. Family needed money loaned to them. Everyone needed help and we gave until we had nothing left. I’m sharing this personal and painful information because I want all of the angels to know and understand that you helped my tiny family out tremendously. For the past 14 years, I’ve let Joey take care of me, and I got spoiled. I’m having to learn to live independently again. It has not been easy, but I know I can get my life back together. And when I do, I will go back to doing what I can to pay it forward. Believe it or not, and despite my current financial and emotional hardships, I still find time to volunteer at homeless shelters and help with preparing foods. I can’t give any money right now, but I can give my time and my love. I appreciate you all so much. I just can’t express it in words in the way I would like. So please don’t get discouraged. I got discouraged too earlier. You all really are helping folks out. I apologize for asking for more help today, especially if it caused others to be skipped over. I do have some gently used toys and other items in my home that I would be happy to donate. Back when joey and I had more financial success, we took custody of my niece who was 10 at the time. I have TONS of toys and books for little girls. I have flash cards, and educational workbooks. I have splatter ware dishes that have never been removed from the box. I am happy to give any of these items away, as I am not using them, nor do I need them. Joeys aunt sold splatterware and for several years, that is what we always received for Christmas. Ha! I even have a fry daddy that we never opened. I have a fire pit which was never removed from the box. If any of these items will help any of you, please advise, and I will find a way to get them to you. My goal with this post is to make sure you all know how much I appreciate the help. I feel awful for causing other needy families to go without. I hate that some folks are being dishonest and taking advantage of this courtesy. But please don’t get too discouraged. I am confident that most of your kind offerings and gestures are life changing for some of these folks. I just want to reiterate that point. You angels are providing Christmas for some of us, especially folks like me who experienced a tragic and unexpected loss. And then to have your family turn their back on you and your child… it’s not an easy issue to cope with. I had some strange girl post to my Facebook page things like, “did joey die by accident, or did he kill himself to get away from you? I bet I know which one.” I know joey was smarter and stronger than me. It should have been me. I would give anything for jj to have his father back. I’m sorry if this is too much info, but I want to express my genuine gratitude. You all are truly angels. Thank you so much for all of your help. I will do anything to pay it forward. Please let me know how I can help out and give back. I also have clothing and jackets for little girls in size 12, if anyone has a need for them. Thank you again for your time. I admire a great majority of you. Your compassion is inspiring and encouraging. Please keep spreading that cheer. Thank you again.

  635. Hi folx! I am #1659 and I realized that I hadn’t included anything for my eldest, Sonny, age 25. Sonny has Asperger’s and is genderfluid (they/them/their pronouns) and has recently left the nest to move with their partner to California, and I found out this week that Sonny is going to be alone for Xmas because they work Xmas eve and the day after, so this is our first Xmas without them!

    As for my youngest, Tommy/14, I fixed the list to stay within (or reallllly close to!) the $35 limit, but he really does need a jacket and backpack, so if he even got those and nothing else he would be thrilled!

    I didn’t see our post # on the Master List, so I’m hoping that that was the issue since nothing has been purchased. I’ll go add a comment if I still can!
    http://a.co/cuaSr6y

    Thanks again so much!
    XOXOX

    Juleah

  638. The issue lies with angels coming to the last few comments posted and picking a newly posted list because they don’t realize there’s a master list and so many still need help.

  639. Two gifts arrived today. I want to thank the kind person who helped us this year. My girls will be so excited to see what they got. I can’t wait to put them under the tree once we get one to put up. Thank you so much.

    We were originally post #1312/1323 (I believe that’s the right #)(The Funko pop and fingerling)

  641. This is so sad…this is it for me. I came to buy (which I did). I’m sorry I didn’t pick the earliest one, I picked the one who resonated with me. Now I just feel crappy about that and I’m out.

    Please don’t judge us. We won’t judge you.

  642. One more thing. Hehe. Can we all focus more on being “FURIOUSLY HAPPY, out of sheer spite” if nothing else? Smile y’all! Express that irrational joy! Be “vehemently happy.” As Jenny has stated, “…we get a little stronger. We learn new tricks on the battlefield. We learn them in terrible ways, but we use them. We don’t struggle in vain. We win. We are alive.”

    I’ve read those quotes over and over and over to help me cope with my sadness and frustrations. Thank you, Jenny, for this courtesy and this learning opportunity. Thank you for all that you do. Your books and blogs keep me going. Good night, everyone!

  643. Anon 2641 – please don’t feel bad. I don’t think there is a wrong way to help here, despite what some may say. You stepped up and helped to make a child’s holiday a little brighter – that’s a wonderful thing! Merry Christmas to you!

  644. A good friend of mine Mm posted..I’ve seen comments of a master list or people knowing what post they are, new here so can anyone explain? Also our wishes were granted and arrived so thank you very much

  646. Anonymous 2641 – this makes me so sad. It is not okay that you were made to feel bad for being kind, selfless, and straight up amazing to bless a family in need.

    I am one of those families and I was amazingly gifted a toy for two of my three children and a coat for my daughter. I was absolutely overwhelmed that a stranger or strangers would want to help us. We do have many needs relating to our miracle micropremie Cerebral Palsy Warrior. He has the biggest smile but is trapped in a body and mind that just doesn’t let him do all the things that a typical two year old can do. But with 23 hours of weekly therapy we are getting there. He is still on oxygen but the liter flow is coming down and he can take steps with special equipment. Our life might never be typical but we are always grateful especially for the kindness of amazing people who touch our lives.

    Hundreds of children have been blessed with toys and coats by this amazing program and now maybe some less fun things can happen. I know on my list it is socks for my son and underwear for my daughter. Laundry is a never ending battle with our insane schedule. But if anyone should feel bad it is the person that looked at you and judged you for only being kind.

    Shame on them and bless you, Anonymous 2641!!!

    We are 2265 with some more details at 663/1041/1835.

  647. After losing someone close to us to suicide, I wasn’t sure if there would be a Christmas. If I could handle it, financially, emotionally and with the love my boys deserved. Thanks to you amazing angels for helping all of us. 🤘😭 you rock for giving me the strength I need to get through this!

  648. To Nancy 2167: I reviewed your list. I know this may not be ideal for you, but I would like to offer some gently used American girl books my niece had when she lived with me. I have a unicorn tote bag that has never been used that I can send to your daughter. I have lots of various little lights that belonged to Joey from when we were younger and frequented music festivals. Haha. Seriously. I have tons of stickers in a box from when I used to scrapbook. I know it’s not exactly what you requested, but if it helps, I’d be happy to mail some of these items to you, if you would accept them. I can send you my contact information and send pics of these items to see if you could use them. I know it’s not much and not brand new, but I would love to send some cheer to your girls. Please advise. I would honestly love to do this for you if you will let me. I’m sorry I don’t have the money to purchase the items new. I hope the remainder of your evening gets better.

  649. Thank you so much Serine23 I really appreciate it, not just the coat but everything you have done to help all of us with the list and spending your time to make this so successful. I hope you and yours have an amazing Christmas. Thank you so much for all you have done and are doing.

  650. Post 989 Your lists were filled, and you just added $293 more toys. PLEASE Let others who haven’t received anything have a chance. Thanks 🙂

  651. tjelectric @2645 you’ve had over $200 in gifts, including a $90 tablet sent to you. Have a merry xmas. Please don’t edit your list further, it’s fulfilled at this point.

  654. Thank you to the 2 wonderful people who have purchased the coat and nightlight. I have 1 more coat a sticker and a curtain . The sticker just went down to 11.99 and the curtain is 19.99 and the coat is 24 I believe. The coat is the most important thing. This is my first list I have posted and yes I was frustrated earlier. So many little ones and so heartbreaking to see some with nothing. But Ángels have done a great deal and I respect them for being so helpful. Thank you Judy for the offer I put my email above. Everything helps and I know they would love it. Just make sure shipping is not a a lot I know you have babies as well and I don’t want to take from them. Hugs to all. Goodnight

  657. I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

  658. Fellow Elves It is common practice to resell cleaning toiletry and other household items on FB Market place.. SO these posts with a year supplies of household items. They are selling them. as always follow your heart and trust your gut before gifting.

  659. Thank you to all the angels out there that helped us all I can’t say thank you enough your amazing my list has been fufilled please delete 2131 from the master list.

  660. The last 4 days have been a nightmare. As freaked out as I was 4 day’s ago now I am crying and mourning a baby I wasn’t ready for and wasn’t planned. my emotions are all over the place right now. Please send prayers

    I was really hoping to wake up and discover that our boys had some clothes on the way. I am very grateful to the helper that sent the koalas to Olivia she will love them . I can’t help but be heartbroken that my boys have nothing. Honestly the are young enough that I can get away with wrapping up some old toys. What they desperately need is clothes, clothes, clothes. I put less than 50 worth of toys total for 3 kids, because they need new clothes so bad.

    1 item has been purchased from our list and I don’t understand why my boys are overlooked.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3IF7IEA16PK1E

  661. It makes me sad that so many of you want to paint those in need as beggars and scams. It is hard enough asking for help. But to be looked down on is 50 times worse. Not everyone has ill intentions. In fact, most of us don’t. Maybe some of you should take a step back and ask yourself if you’re really doing this from your heart.

  662. Stichress…WRONG!! I had no tablet sent to me. I would NEVER ever ever request something like that from strangers. I did however buy one with my own money, that arrived yesterday. I had posted exactly 35$ worth of gifts, as requested and someone said to switch one out. I am really really hurt by your accusation. I understand people make mistakes but please tell me how I can prove your mistake because an apology would mean a lot to me. Thanks so much

  663. Ahhh…I see why you may be confused. I’ve used Amazon for many years for myself. Please check the dates/ years And as regards to the Kindle I bought…maybe I could PM you my receipt? (I’m doing it via Amazon payments)

  665. I feel dumb asking my original post was 497 I think and I reposted at 2129 for coats after their toys were gifted for my boys and I explained why there was was an extra item. I don’t see the post on the master list and I never was alerted to being wrong or deleted so did I do it wrong? I’m sorry if I did and I will withdrawal if you want me to.

  666. Also I’m just going to concur with what the person above said…it is hard enough to feel poor, to feel like a failure for being poor, (even though I know I should resist that) but to be then be accused of being a scammer basically and told “merry xmas” ….please…don’t be phony or pull punches…I’m sorry I asked for help at this point. I give everything I can and more to others and I was so relieved when I found I could buy my kid’s tablet on a payment plan (first payment was $24.30, couldn’t figure out how to post the screenshot here but I have it and I really want to email it to you, Stitch…)…Anyhow, yeah, I basically have just enough gas in the car to get me to work and just enough food in the house for us to eat until my next paycheck (Wednesday) and then if anyone wants me to reimburse them for the book they bought my kid this year ($20, not $200!!!) I am happy to. I would also really appreciated having my posts deleted as I do not want my name affiliated with begging and especially not accusations of being a begging scammer. I mean I guess this is my “fault” maybe? (not really haha) for not creating a distinct wish list for this but I feel like in the eagerness to point the finger an obvious thing like the dates was totally overlooked…To be honest I didn’t even realize that Kindle ever was on my wish list; I thought I’d added it to the cart. So , I don’t know….I am not surprised, just hurt. I do a lot of work in my own life working with and for the poor (which is probably why I’m poor myself…truly charitable careers rarely pay well, lol)….But yeah assume I’m some greedy a-hole based on an oversight and assumption on your part–there’s the holiday spirit 🙁

  667. Good morning everyone, so happy to see that Stitchress dedicated more time to help, honestly, you are just amazing. Thanks everyone for keeping the love rolling. Let’s all stop with the finger pointing. It’s hard to get a single bottle of any cleaner on Amazon without a subscription, maybe this parent cleans houses to feed their kids, or maybe they are like my kids, total pig pens! 🙂 Also, the lists can be kind of confusing, not everyone is a tech-wiz, and it doesn’t make them a scammer. I’m going to sweep the list once more. Deleting fulfilled ones, and I’m going fulfill a couple wishes while I’m at it. Also, Julie 2648, thank you for extending that kindness to Nancy for her child. I’ve wondered about giving off-list myself to people. Super sweet!

  668. I just bought 1388 Shoes heading your way for Tess! Everyone this list only has one pair of shoes left, and they are $10 cheaper than they were yesterday, then this list is done.

  669. tjelectric and others with lists.. In the rules it states that your list MUST BE A NEW LIST…it states this to avoid such missunderstandings about purchased and unpurchased items…DO NOT RE USE AN OLD WISH LIST…it makes it confusing for potential gifters who will be deterred from purchasing when your list looks like you have so much coming to you already.

    I sincerely hope next year I will be able to help from the beginning to be sure everyone gets a fair list up, and hopefully I’ll be able to be an elf myself.

    Happy Holidays Everyone <3 I just hope all the littles are happy this year 🙂

  670. I am removing the lamp from my younger son’s list as I just realized that it has bad reviews on amazon and I don’t want him to get a dud and be disappointed. And I know my older son has a coat listed, it doesn’t have to be this particular coat as long as it isn’t a puffy one. He really needs a warmer coat that is more water resistant, currently he is wearing a hoodie type one and if it gets wet it takes days to dry. I want to thank everyone who is helping those in need this year and again I want to especially thank who ever got my little guy his mittens (it is hard to find ones to fit him and he can’t get regular gloves on himself and he really wants to do it himself. I am on the masterlist as #2021

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VCSCAUJ6FA3J?type=wishlist&filter=all&sort=default

  671. Post 2661, I am the last person to want to point fingers or accuse anyone of scamming IF they are being honest…unfortunately, not all the people that come to take part in these events are honest and in need. I have seen many lists this year and past years, that have not been honest, and have just been here to get as much as they could without concern for other people who may genuinely need help.

    I believe Jenny, Stitchress, Serine, all the people moderating the lists are doing it from their hearts, and sometimes they have to point things out that may not be “nice” but there needs to be boundaries, and they need to be respected.

    I hope everyone has a merry xmas and a happy new year!

  672. Good morning! I checked out the Master List and see so many more are being fulfilled- simply amazing!!!

    Everyone please remember that people do not have to help or give their time or money. They do so from the kindness of their hearts. Please play nice and be thankful this exists. It’s pretty cool. 🎄

    I am a an earlier commenter/recipient who did add yesterday. Then a wonderful friend gifted me with awesome hand me downs and covered a good chunk of my list (I edited to reflect). Don’t be afraid to ask people you know for new to you items you need. Check out local ‘buy nothing’ groups. Don’t lose hope. We are all in this together.

  675. I am unsure why people can’t just see the dates and know the difference. I actually don’t see the part of that post where it states this would be an issue….But yeah I’m sorry you were confused. Maybe you could try following the RULES of human kindness and apologize for wrongly accusing me?

  677. I am grateful this exists (as the kind person above points out) and I am grateful for the generosity of people…I do know however that I regret asking for help here and I probably won’t again even if I need it…But that’s on me…I do thank and applaud anyone generous enough to donate…adult pride and pettiness should never get in the way of a child’s happiness. thanks again to all the kind anonymous donors <3 you rock!

  678. Tjelectric – the very first step listed in the post is to create a new list. That way mix-ups like this don’t happen. Lists should only be reused if you’ve come back with necessities added (the Friday post).

  679. tjelectric, here’s a hug, don’t take it personally if you can. It’s been an overwhelming year for everyone. Next year will be better!

  681. Could some one explain to me, how this “Master List” works I don’t have much but I would like to help out a family or 2

  683. Nancy 2167
    The coat for your other girl is on the way so now both of your girls will be able to model their pretty new coats on Xmas day when they open their presents.
    I know this time of the year can be stressful, but hang in there. Stay positive.
    Happy Holidays

  684. I see that but it said “Create a List” not a “new” list and as it didn’t specify why it didn’t even occur to me bc I am a trusting person, not the type to consider scamming at all…
    As someone who has worked with the poor for over ten years I can tell you the overwhelming majority of the time people are honest, asking for less than they need.. Like I said, I’m sorry if it was confusing (which I mean looking at the dates now it shouldn’t be at least). I also feel I deserve an apology but you know, whatever, I know that is hard for people. I’m not saying I was right you were wrong black and white…all I’m saying is hey now that you can clearly see the confusion can you please take back the hurtful accusation?

  686. So, continuous good news! I’ve deleted numerous fulfilled lists this morning, and filled a couple myself. Also, I’m going ahead and deleting the “non-responsive” lists, as in people who’ve been asked to correct things (non-prime, non-working addresses, etc.) but they never did or disappeared from the board, this should shave off a good many. If you are still giving (thank you, thank you!) please look at the Master List (that’s the place where all the unfilled lists go folks) and try to fill the ones that have only one item left, or if you can something necessary like a coat, or high up on the list first, this will change the list drastically! Master: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing

  687. Misfit Elf, the Master List is maintained by moderators, (how many of us are left standing?) we take the posted lists, verify they have a good link with an acceptable amount of stuff and put them on the Master List, the link is all over. It keeps people from having to sift through the comments constantly, and then we check as they are filled, and remove them. It’s way more efficient. We’re still catching up newer postings, but we’re really trying to clear out the older ones right now, and get those needs met. Thank you!

  688. @tjelectric, I actually created an account just so I could like your comment. I was post #999, and came in very early on the second day of this, I think, although I’ve been a reader and fan of Jenny’s for longer than I can even remember – god, since my teenagers were tiny.

    The people who sent my three kids a few of their wishlist items in the first day or so after I posted were so warm and gracious that they truly embodied the very spirit of the season. One even made a specific point in of reassuring me not to feel bad for needing help, and that kindness was as much a gift as any toy or book could be.

    But the above examples have not been indicative of the prevailing vibe here, over these last couple of days. And no, it doesn’t feel good to have to beg, or see those little veiled jabs in comments, or try to justify why your children need warm coats or pants that fit or whatever. For me, personally, it leaves me wrecked, locked up with anxiety, obsessively checking and double-checking every detail so as not to do something wrong, or stupid, or appear ungrateful, or just in whatever way manage to add even MORE godawful flinching shame to the experience.

    I spent much of yesterday and all last night worrying over whether I should embarrass myself any further with this…and feeling like a bad mom for even struggling with anxiety over that question rather than just jumping in and debasing myself however much was required if it meant all my kids would have coats. Our list was taken off the Master list yesterday with no explanation, then stuck back on (after begging/pestering, of course) with the wrong post number (moved from 999 to 2388) and the addition of the weird comment “has already had the first round gifted” which kinda makes it sound like we must have really cleaned up and would naturally discourage any further help. And while I was enormously grateful for what my children did receive, they never even hit the initial stated limit and I’ve been following all the rules from the very start, so I have no idea what any of that was about.

    I remain so, so, grateful to the couple of angels who made it easier and less shameful to be in need (and to a mystery third who bought one of my kids a coat; I don’t want to slight you, I just don’t know who did that one). But this whole process feels really icky now and I just can’t deal with all the stupid neurotic cringing and crying and worrying over this anymore.

    Ho-Ho and Merry, Merry!!

  691. Tiff 2666, I read your post. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry it has been less than awesome for you. Every year with these events communication is such a struggle, because we can’t talk to each other directly. Everyone is also posting, and re-posting and asking for their lists to be checked. I want to sincerely apologize to you if the comment about the first round was hurtful, I have changed that, and it was just there for clarity, people have been asking: how do we identify which lists were here first? And how come these folks got to come back again, when others got nothing? You are absolutely right about how difficult it is to ask for help, but it’s also difficult to help everyone asking for help. If your list 999 was filled, and then other items of need were added it would have had to go back on the list. If we made a mistake I’m sorry. Don’t be embarrassed everyone here is just trying to help each other.

  692. I agree TIff with the part about the comments on the master list. When I’m scrolling through to fill wishes I do look at those comments and I thought to myself why does this one say first round gifted when probably half of the lists have also had their first round gifted. Any list containing food and household items had their first round purchased didn’t they? The comment does make it seem like you’ve gotten enough.

  693. Taylor @ Comment 2345

    Ho-Ho and Merry-Merry!

  694. Big THANK YOU to all who put together the spreadsheet!! What a great idea!!!
    Merry Christmas!
    Gail

  696. OK, so I appreciate the feedback about what’s working and what’s not working, there are like 5 or 6 people who have helped add comments, because it initially it was just me and NO comments. Then Stitchress, and Kawaii Punk, then we figured the comments would keep people from having to click every list looking for what’s inside. How about some constructive ideas? An additional column that indicates 1st round & 2nd round? These comments are not meant to be judgements, but informative like: Unfilled to indicated they have received nothing. Constructive ideas would be more helpful, because I think between a few people this week we’ve logged hundreds of hours trying to work out the glitches…

  697. Also, if you see where this could be done better, please join us! Help moderate the list, improve the comments, and log a few hours, clicking, confirming and ordering the mess. It would be deeply appreciated!

  699. I have a list on the master list, and I have things that still need to be purchased. I am not reposting my list, I just want to say that one of the rules of being here is “Don’t feel bad about asking for help.”

    All of us that put up lists have our own personal reasons, unfortunately, there’s always a few that are not honest. It’s like that everywhere. If you are here with honestly and sincerely need help, that’s what Jenny made this for..to help you.
    If you are here being offended by everyone else, or seeing “veiled jabs” in comments on a spreadsheet made by volunteers to help keep things organized to HELP you get your list filled, then maybe you need to look at why you’re here.

    I don’t want this post to start a huge drama filled chaotic flood of comments bashing my opinion, I’m just saying if you are on the list, and you’ve asked for what you need, all you can do is be patient while people sift through all of these lists, made by people just like you that are here for help, just like you, and do what they can out of the kindness of their hearts, without reposting every day and acting like you need to keep posting comments making sure everyone knows your case is the most needy, trying to validate to everyone why your list should be filled first. If everyone came in and followed the rules everything about this would be so much less stressful, and all the gifting elves would feel so much better about giving, even those that can only gift a few things.

    As gifters they don’t want to feel like they’ve been taken advantage of either.

    Sadly I feel like everyone is getting scared because things are winding down, I get it I do, my generation was taught xmas means presents, but Xmas will come even without a bunch of presents. Yes presents are nice but kids only know what they are taught. Teach them values. Teach them love. Teach them well.

  701. Hi Serine23, Stitchess, and Kawaii Punk, thank you son,ugh for all the work you are putting into this.
    Suggestion: Can each of you perhaps add the link to the master list to every comment you post along with a brief line like “please refer to this list to see the wishlists from the folks you still need help” or something like that? Given the number of comments, finding the master list can be a litttle difficult. Since you 3 ladies are the moderators of the list, having the list at the bottom of each comment might help folks like myself, who aren’t following this thread closely, might be more likely for them to catch the list. Thank you

  706. To whoever posted about the household stuff……..the posts on FB marketplace you see of people selling bundles of household items are from people who coupon. They get it all free or at low cost and resell. Stop accusing people here. It’s Christmas, have a heart.

  707. Hi- I was wondering if I could be added to ‘the master list’? I can only view lists on the doc. Up to 200? And have no idea what my original comment was? I was blessed with books but have posted a list with coats, shoes, and diapers?

  708. Stichress – a few more presents are heading your kiddos’ way, but some may not be delivered until 12/27 – just wanted you to know there could be some late arrivals!

  711. Good morning elves.
    Serine23 thank you so much for all the hard work you and your elf army have been putting in.
    I have been blessed with pjs for my daughter but was hopeful my son would be too. When I uploaded the list yesterday his pjs became unavailable. So I added new ones last night.

    Im sad to read people bashing each other for basic needs. I’ve seen people asking for outrageous things but I dont think toliet paper or sanitary pads are ridiculous?

  713. To Becky @ 1491/2056/2355, allow me to relieve you of some anxiety (anxiety and I are old friends, it’s been hanging around like an old jockstrap for years) I’ve been able to round up a few more reinbears to send a few things your way, most should lumber up your way by the 17th and 19th but a couple won’t get there till later (the bears wander off to eat the berries on the holly and take a while to find their way back). I’d send some of our ahem, delightful, summer weather over to you if possible, there’s something quite wrong with singing about dashing through the snow when it’s 110 in the shade, It’s enough to make you tell people just there they can put their jingle bells if you catch my drift.
    Confidentially, Santa Bruce looks about how I feel after a long day at work, I might have to pick up a copy for myself!
    In all seriousness though, I hope this brings a little brightness to you and your family and I hope that Nathan comes through safely, it sounds like he’s been through enough for all of us combined.
    Ack, it’s almost 1am, time for me to hibernate.
    From my cave to yours, happy Sunday!

    PS a big shout out to Serine23, Stitchress and all the other helpers, y’all rock! Extra gravy for all!

  714. Thank you ……A Believer in James Garfield for getting my boys thermals to keep warm! Bless you and Merry Christmas!

  720. Poster 2661. You asked: “Maybe some of you should take a step back and ask yourself if you’re really doing this from your heart.”
    Yes, I am. I’m ill, and I take a lot of medication. I get a lot of points for putting said medication on a credit card. I save those points, all year, to do this. I also use our own money–this is a Christmas gift from my husband who never questions the bills. Whenever I want a book or whatever during the year that is not a “need”, I ask myself if it’s worth one less gift for the JGM. Most of the time it isn’t. I go without quite a few treats to come here, every year since that first JGM. I don’t want to shame ANYONE. I, in turn, do not want to be shamed for wanting my funds to go to someone in need. How would you feel, if your list was passed over, because someone else who did not follow the rules received the bulk of the resources and then turned out to be dishonest? That is why people are on the lookout for “scammers”–to protect people like you who only want to provide a happy holiday for their children. That’s what I want, too–to provide a happy holiday for your children.

    People are talking about feeling ashamed, and I’m truly sorry, because no one should be ashamed for asking for help…but givers are getting frustrated, too. The tone of this event has completely changed. Everyone is up in arms over perceived slights from givers, well, I don’t appreciate some of the comments from requesting posters, either.

    Also, I have never seen anyone call anyone a beggar. I doubt that word even crosses the minds of people who are here to help. There is no shame in being on here as a requester of assistance. Most of us have been in a difficult place before, and are paying it forward. People are being called scammers, yes, but there is usually a trail to prove it. People being called out for ridiculously flouting the rules, again yes, to make sure everyone is helped and no one is sucking up the resources that are meant to help many. Again, people are looking out for YOU, to provide YOU with what you need.

    I’l be called negative for posting this, but I don’t care. You made me cry. I feel ashamed of myself for being here. I’m angry at reading the tones of some of these posts. I’m hurt, too.
    I’m also done.

    Thank you for ascribing a dark purpose for us being here and giving. Maybe you should be the one checking your heart?

  721. Hi, I am OP 2237 on the master list which is the only list I have posted. I have a level 3 asd child who will be turning 4 in 4 days, along with his older brother and sister. I have not requested toys for my little one as he does not engage much with any he is also non-verbal. I have clothing for my youngest and a shirt for my oldest boy. On my oldest boys list is a headset for his game console which his had broken recently. My oldest child is 17 and really loves perfume, this one particularly. I would be grateful for anything these children of mine could receive but also know that this is all done out of kindness. I wanted to thank all the moderators for their endless work on trying to get all wishes filled and also the love of the people who are giving. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and everyone a better new year! <3

  722. JZ 2720 Please don’t walk away from the project just because of a few cranky postings from desperate parents! Just take a step back and breathe. For every one disgruntled person is ten who are super thankful and appreciative.

  723. Jz I’m sorry anyone has made you feel bad about this wonderful thing you’re doing. I’ve been following this drama since the 1st day. (My list for my sister is 617. We asked for a book, flannel sheets and a blanket for the two kids) i haven’t posted because we were happy for anything and expected nothing. I’m sorry this year turned out more negative then years past. But just remember we are so happy and thankful you are apart of this community and you are valued.

  724. When I request access to edit the sheet it says that sharing is maxed out. So here’s some constructive suggestions for the master list:
    – Shorten the width of the link column so people on phones can easily see everything
    – Have the following columns: Wishlist Link, Original Post #, 1st List, Friday (Need?) List, Notes/Comments
    – Under the List columns just have Fulfilled/Unfulfilled (save comments for notes)
    – Maybe a bold color to highlight the lists that nothing have been purchased so gifters can start there?
    – Add pre-461 posts if they came back for a friday update/add-on

    If you can add me somehow on your end, I’m happy to help this weekend any way I can. sweetwishesfor3@gmail.com

  726. Gene here. I added a second list because the original post said to and I did not know this would be a problem. I waited until Friday night. I am sorry if this was bad. I kept it to 35 in clothing per kid and 1 food thing. Were we not supposed to do that I am so confused and feel rotten did I mess up

  730. Hi, I’m Rachel in Georgia (I did post in the mid 300s but I think my post was too long and lost in the shuffle, though an angel night an item for each of my babies). 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.

    I have a wish list for them here

  732. Rachel @2730 Please read the rules at the top of this page, create ONE list for your children, up to $35 for each in books/toys and up to $60 if they need a coat. When you have a single list post it and we will look at it and put it on the master list for you 🙂

  733. Gene #2568
    If I did something wrong please let me know I did not mean to upset any one

  734. @Gene 2568 Your list is almost $200, can you trim it down some, we are trying to make sure all the lists can get help, some have not had anything purchased from their first lists yet 🙂 Thanks!

  735. Hi again.
    From Missouri. Original post 574.
    Sorry for the update once again. I wasn’t awear that some items had been sold out on my list. I have updated it and fixed any problems there was.
    I want to thank whom ever it was that got my son the aqua doodle mat he is going to flip ! Thank you so much !! God bless your heart.
    Here is this list once again , no nothing was added to it just removed.
    Thank you all and merry Christmas
    God Bless each and everyone of one.
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/27YG6K49NJJHX

  737. worried mama #574/#2735 First, please do not delete items from your lists, second, it looks like you have $50 for one of the kids items, the limit is $35 each 🙂 Thanks!!

  738. To Mac & the angels sending lots of love our way: words can’t express how much it means to us. We are in another harrowing time with Nathan but he has beat cancer and survived so much adversity. He has had open heart surgery and a third spinal surgery appears to be on the horizon but he will make it through and we always seem to trudge through it all with the love and support of angels like you. Nathan lives for Santa and for Christmas and he will be ecstatic along with his siblings on Christmas morning and it’s all thanks to you guys. ❤️ Have a very Merry Christmas. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude and we thank you so very much. ❤️

  739. anonymous 2695
    I am1876, and I am NOT deleting purchases! I only had 2 toys each and socks and underwear on my list! Never any outfit style clothes because we can get those from the thrift store or hand-me-downs. With the exception of boots for two kids that I removed before purchase (and said in my notes because I felt greedy for asking for something they might only use once or twice) I have deleted nothing! I was so excited to see my kids each got one gift this morning, then I maDE the mistake of checking comments for my secret Santa to see someone searching to shame people. And anonymously at that. Bad form.
    Thank you to my secret santa, at least my kids will have one gift under the tree before a gremlin steals my good name because they misremember one out of a thousand lists!

  740. Each year I hope to be prepared for Christmas long before December comes along, and yet each year something unexpected crops up and derails my plans. Last year, I took in my nieces (they are home now and doing well!), this year, I lost my job mid-November and my savings were wiped. His father hasn’t been involved since birth and sends no support.

    My son doesn’t want for much, he is 4 and the happiest boy you could ever meet. He wants only one things this year, a game (Giggle Wiggle), but he needs new underwear so I’ve added those to his list. Two other things I’ve included that I know he will enjoy are to improve his fine-motor skills as he is still on the waitlist for occupational therapy. If anyone is able to help, we would greatly appreciate it, and if not, we understand and certainly hold no hard feelings as so many people are in need. We are fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, and lots of love, and I know some families don’t even have that this holiday season.

  745. momanon @2742 see the top of the page for instructions 🙂 Please don’t reuse an old wishlist, be sure to create a new wishlist, up to $35 per child in books/toys, up to $60 if they need a winter coat. 🙂 post your link here one time, we will review it and add you to the master list.

  746. hi guys i know im a little late to this but hoping there are still some miracles being preformed and i can get a little help for my 2 girls ages 7 and 9 i made them a small wishlist the link is http://a.co/9OJmUw8 if there are any more people willing to help it would really take some stress off my shoulders. thank you everyone have a very happy christmas and happy new years. thank you and god bless

  747. I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1DSD6X39R1EPB

    Thanks <3

  748. I thought it was 35 per kid in clothing, my apologies. I have 3 kids of my own and custody of my nieces 3. What are the rules for clothing? Please and thank you I want to do this right

  749. CSHO @ 2747 you don’t need to keep reposting your link, you’re on the master list. Your new list is almost $200, could you trim it some? We are still trying to make sure some of the lists that haven’t had any purchases have a chance to be filled also 🙂 Thanks!

  751. Mostly we are asking that people just be reasonable, and understand that there are a lot of lists that still need anything to be purchased, and we want to help as many as we possibly can 🙂

  752. Hi Stichress,

    People can people and choose what they would like to gift to my family. I am not cutting it down. Nothing on there is extravagant.

    Thanks!

  753. Ok Gene again I removed the tshirts for the boys I only put those on because the gift they got from the first list was underwear. I also removed my daughters plain tshirts because she really needs the bras she says. I do not know much about that stuff. I removed my great nieces shoes she needs pajamas much more we can probably get through with her old sneakers. I can remove fruit too I added that because they usually get fruit or veg from a can but you can ignore it or I can delete.

  754. Stichress we appreciate your willingness to moderate but this is not your operation. You are totally not making the rules here.

  755. Sending so much love and appreciation to Serine23, Stichress, and the others (I can see your names on the spreadsheet but not sure what names you used here so don’t want to identify you by name if not appropriate) who have volunteered so much time to create order out of chaos, so that as many lists as possible could be fulfilled. A lot of mixed energy this year, and you all have done miracles managing it.

    {{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} to everyone, and Merry Christmas.

  756. @ post 2754 I’m not trying to make the rules..I’m trying to help. I apologize if you’re offended by me helping, or if you have a list of rules that I missed somewhere please let me know, I’m simply offering info that I’ve gathered while helping with the list.

  757. I apologize for the anger in my earlier post. Anonymous 2722, Gigi 2723 and Kayenzie 2725: Thank you for your kind responses. I appreciate it! 🙂

  759. I am no longer in need of the socks & boots. A kind friend helped me out. Our list is all set. Thank you everyone that helped! Next year I aim to be on the giving side, and hope to gift my time and talents to organize ahead of time as well. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

  760. Just something I’ve noticed: There are some unfilled lists in the middle of the master list starting in the 2000’s. If there are any angels/ elfs still looking for someone to help this Christmas season!

  761. Not sure if I am on the master or not. I can’t find my other post. I have had 2 gifts purchased for my older 2, and I purchase 3 pairs of pjs with the credit I had on amazon that I didn’t even know I had, but there’s still on listed on there, and 3 other things for the Christmas Eve box. That’s all I really asked for this year because quality time as a family is better than any gift, and my older ones agree that we bring it back. I have stayed well under the $35 limit per kid.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/12802QNWJ0G0K

  763. I would also like to thank our volunteer moderators for trying to make what is a chaotic and hit-or-miss type event a little more organize, in an effort to keep people from being overlooked. I have not seen any posts by our volunteer moderators that was not a simple repeat of the rules as established by Jenny, OR a kind suggestion motivated by a desire to see as many people as possible be helped this holiday season. As a gifter I appreciate your hard work ❤️ The bigger this gets and the longer it goes on, the more negative comments we seem to get, but as usual this community continues to focus on the positive! Love to all!

  764. I see a few posting about a FB Group can I join the FB group or is that super secret and only for the List makers???

  765. Hi, I am Melissa (2533). Txmomathome is my normal user name. I don’t know how it got switched to my real name, but I’ll be okay with that because I have nothing to hide. I’m not sure why, but my list did not make the master list. It may be because the coat I requested for my oldest daughter is $39.99. I tried to find a less expensive coat that would suit her needs, but this was the cheapest I could find that was Prime eligible. Please let me tell you a little about her: She is 17 years old, and she graduated from high school this past May with her Associate of Arts degree. She is now a junior in college majoring in art and psychology, and wants to be an arts therapist. Her school is a few hours away, in an area that has much colder winters than we get here. She has been unable to find a job since she got there, so I send her money for necessities when I can. She recently received a small reimbursement from the school (long story there). She went and bought food for her dorm room, a few essentials, and bought a pair of earrings for a 17-year-old girl on one of the early James Garfield posts. That is the kind of heart that she has.
    When I picked her up from school yesterday, she told me her jacket was no match for the weather there, and she really needed a coat with a hood. She didn’t want me to add her to the list, but I have no way of buying her a coat.
    I deleted everything from my list except the coats for my two girls and books for the three youngest. My 18-year-old needs a coat (he is in school in Indiana and only has a light jacket) and my 19-year-old needs gloves, but I followed the requirements and only listed for my younger children.
    Three of my children are on the autistic spectrum, and a couple of us battle very real anxiety and depression, but we battle on. I would love to give my kids the world, but right now putting food on the table is a struggle. And, to make matters worse, our heater went out yesterday (I came home to the smell of electrical wiring burning and found most of the wiring in the unit is melted or burned).
    I am not trying to game the system. I know it is late in the game, but will you please allow our list to be added?

    Link: http://a.co/2t2bolA

  766. Hi! Can I please get added to the master list? I’m originally post 2483. I just have a coat and gloves for each kid. I didn’t have a list for any toys.

    Thank you

    Kortez

  767. Hi I think I got overlooked, also wondering if I did everything right to get on the master list if I neeed to change anything? Sorry just getting Anxious as I have nothing for my children. Thank you angels

  770. Spreadsheet helpers and shoppers: I did some research on post #2761 by Georgia Jones. (Hi Georgia! Merry Christmas!)

    She’s not on the list. Her original post was #1194, also posted on #1242, #1406, and #1816 where she redid the list. Only purchases were mentioned in comment #1411, for the two older kids. 5 younger kids have received no gifts.

    Hope this helps a little.

  772. Stitchress (sorry for mispelling your name earlier!), Brittany’s first comment was #2232, but no link was posted.

    Brittany – you need to post a link!

  778. Hello original post #1934 some of the items when up on price so I deleted them I only left the blankets one towel and one toy … thank you! To everyone that is helping out we really appreciated everything that you guys are doing.

  780. Good morning, y’all! I’m gathering some things that Nancy could maybe use, and I’ve come across a few kavu purses, a Minecraft ps4 game, scarves, hats, costume jewelry, countless and timeless children’s books, etc. If anyone is interested in any of these items, email me at julie_h1@yahoo.com. I’ve got an old 2 gallon fish tank with hot pink gravel and a light with rotating colors. Has everything you need, except a fish and water. I found a campfire popcorn popper that’s never been removed from its box. I have tons of baby boy clothes and crib shoes, again, with the tags on them, as they were never used. If anyone needs a baby monitor, I can spare that too. I’m noticing I’m a bit of a hoarder. Today would be my 14 year anniversary of my beloved recently deceased fiancé, so I’ve been kind of a flake this morning. I need to keep busy. I know these items are not ideal or brand new. But I’m not giving out dirty stuff I’m just trying to dump on y’all. I could sell these items on marketplace or something, but I choose to pass them on here, if any of you can use them. Thank you for your time and attention. Also, to those getting flustered, please don’t be. Try to keep positive, okay? Love you all, and I hope y’all have a kickass Saturday!

  781. Also, jj is at his grammas today so I’m home alone. I can for sure help with the master list if there is a need. Just let me know. Take care, all!

  783. I was post 403- so it had already been removed before Friday. I had requested to be added to master list again on Friday but don’t see it on there, and now don’t need it so please disregard my post asking to. I hope the other families receive the help they need. 🙂 thanks again! Thanks to Jenny too!

  784. Ooh and bath bomb sets. They were marked $10 each and I bought them all on clearance for 99 cents each. I took all that I could find. If anybody wants any of these, please let me know. Triple berry strudel and Carmel chai latte flavors. And apple cinnamon. Just throwing that out there, too, if anyone needs them to gift to their children. Thanks again for putting up with me.

  786. If there is a Facebook group specific to this event, please advise. I’m happy to post pics of these items. Thanks again!

  787. I was originally post 546 and had to update my list this morning because an item for each kid was no longer available or had a large price increase. My son with special needs also needs a coat (more like a poncho and if anyone can sew that might be a good project for you). Hate that the only poncho I could find for his wheelchair is so expensive. Thank you all for looking. 3 kids (13, 12, and 3) in NC.

  790. I dont see my number on the master list anymore. I’m 1428. I had to replace something that is now out of stock. Someone bought wipes for my special needs kiddo. Thank you so much for that.

  794. Just to reiterate… Yes, people are panicking, honestly I am one of them. I am on the master list but am far enough down that it doesn’t look like my needs list will be met. I feel that panic and I am still keeping my fingers crossed that James Garfield will come through with a miracle. However, I am trying to remember that this season is about being thankful for what you have, not what you get, and to be generous with your time, heart and spirit not to expect generosity to be bestowed upon you.
    I have resolved to step away from the computer, to stop “refreshing” and just remind myself that even if my family does not get those things, we will be ok and we will be together. That is all that really matters. <3

    Leaving anonymous so that it doesn’t look like I am trying to push my list.

  796. I also wanted to pass this but of information along. Please be advised that today is the last day to sign up for government healthcare. This has not been widely advertised by our president and submissions are low. Today is the very last day. If any of you can use this benefit, please sign up ASAP. Go to healthcare.gov to sign up!

  798. GSH, may I respectfully suggest a course of action that might result in your kids having something to open on Christmas Day?

    Firstly, put a comment on Amazon saying how many kids you have, their ages, and a little bit about them. Then add a comment to each item saying which child it’s for.

    And finally, get rid of the gift cards, at least the Visa one. It’s unlikely to happen, and it puts people off. It might technically be within limit when divided by the number of kids, but you are far more likely to get something if you replace the gift cards with a few cheaper items. Most gifters just don’t have that kind of money to spend, and even if they did, they would probably prefer to bless ten kids with ten dollar items instead. If you open up the list options to those who are looking to spend a few dollars only, your chances of getting your kids some presents would increase greatly 🙂

    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! x

  801. GSH I apologize, I’ve been telling people gift cards are just not allowed, I think I remember that from last year? Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong, I tried to contact most people if I noticed gift cards, I must’ve completely missed that, my apologies

  802. Thank you Julie I needed that reminder to make sure my paperwork is in order for all 6 kids
    -Gene

  803. Just found an email from Cody’s Christmas Wishlist to contact, which i only viewed. It asks for me to contact them about a bike! Not only has Renee Byrne been reported for duplicate lists, but now I am being solicited for extra gifts? I am trying very hard to not be cynical. Jenny means to do so much good and then we have people like this. SMH.

    Thanks again to Jenny and all her elves who are helping those that really do need it.

  805. post 2800 can you note on your list how many kids you have and which items are for which kids? It helps gifters be able to get something for each child even if the entire list can’t be purchased 😉 thanks

  807. He I had posted the 11th and 12th since then I have ended up in the hospital with pleurisy and a small blood clot in my left lung. By my amazon photo and you can look up my Facebook I have 2 boys who really need your help. I had enough funds for rent and electric but I have no way for Christmas. Next year I will recieve my back pay from disability and will be able to help however this year I’m so at lost of words I have never not been working and providing I hate to ask and need this but please take a look at the list and anything appreciated. God bless you and thanks as. Happy holidays to all.
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

  809. 2807 and 2808 the full name is Jennifer miller ive noticed theres a lot of Jenns don’t want to get lost or confused

  810. Jennifer @$35 per child and then $60 for coats/winter gear, no gift cards allowed. Could you edit your list to follow the rules so we can still try to get as many people helped as possible 🙂 thanks

  811. This is such a blessing, oh my goodness. I’m needing gifts for my kids. This year has been a rough one for sure. My 7 year old son is nonverbal autistic and I’ve been dealing with breast cancer so my funds hace been really tight. I was given the information to come here and hopefully find a guardian Angel. God bless.

  812. With only a few shopping days left if you truly need things for Christmas this is a great weekend to list and sell whatever you can to make it happen on your own. Please don’t rely on this site or others. It’s no guarantee but so many families were taken care of this season. All of us Angels should be very proud of the wishes we filled!

  813. Another anonymous 2803 – maybe suggest to the emailer a local organization that might help with bikes? Here in Little Rock, there is an organization called recycle bikes for kids. Joey used to donate his time to help fix bikes that were donated to that organization. Maybe something similar is in her area? Joey was an avid cyclist, so I gave a few things I can donate to that cause. It’s mostly adult type stuff. Helmet, pedals, those weird discus shoes that clip on the pedals… I don’t know. He had a lot of bike tools and lubricants and all that stuff. If anyone needs any of that, I can part with them. Good luck and try to keep positive. 🙂 take care and have a great weekend!

  814. Thank you to whoever bought my children each 1 gift!! We are so grateful! I am #2073 on the master list and I have included each childs name and age as well as a little something about them. If someone else would like to help out it would be greatly appreciated.

  815. Correction of post 1409 my link was incorrect
    I have a 16 yr old autistic son, a 4 yr old autistic granddaughter, a 3 yr old granddaughter and a 16 month old granddaughter. I am disabled and struggling to get them anything for Christmas. Anything is greatly appreciated!!

  816. Hi I’m April a mom of 3 from Chicago, IL going through a very hard year financially. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 3 kids.

    I appreciate the chance and the help. You are wonderful people.

    Merry Christmas to all!

  821. Amber at 1587. I filled your list but had to make a bunch of changes for your kids. They were out of stuff, some things arrived after the holiday, some things said Prime but were really private sellers. I thought I would lose it, but I didn’t. I see you didn’t make the spreadsheet, maybe because they weren’t actually YOUR kids but the drop-in kids. I don’t have kids so drop-in kids are fine with me! Enjoy.

  822. I just want to thank everyone who is still here with us jumping in filling lists and taking care of all these kiddos! Thank you elves and angels!! <3

  823. I remade the list based on nothing was taken care of in the first rules then Jenny said Friday lists could be added to and the bean bag chairs are in place of coats my aunt got them coats handed down but where we were recently homeless and just got metro apartment they have no seats so I thought since it was sat I could make the list as Jenny said esp since the gifts I had for each were under or at 35$.

  827. April (2820) Boots and clothes are in ADDITION to the 35 in toys. If Nathan has toys already, then please disregard this. I just wouldn’t want him to be given the chance to have something if he doesn’t.

    Personally, it’s difficult for me to swing anything else, and I don’t know how a parent chooses between what’s needed and a toy. It must be a heartbreaking thing to have to do. I admire all of you for asking. And don’t give up hope.

  829. Brittany 2232 just a heads up, you’re over the limit on your daughter per Jenny (35 per child)…

  830. stitchers sorry if I’m bugging you I asked earlier with no answer so I am confused, I reposted on 2129 did I do something wrong? I’m very sorry if I did. And I’m sorry if I’m asking too many questions.

  831. Hi Gene 2817! Where are you located? I don’t know if it helps, but I have a “presto granpappy elite electric fryer.” It’s never been removed from its box. It comes with a “lift and drain scoop.” I got it several years ago for Christmas and never used it. It got buried in a storage room, and I just found it. I thought I had a toaster oven, but I think we donated that to a special olympics silent auction event because I can’t find it. I’m running low on funds for shipping these items, but I bet I have a few friends who are able and willing to help me get most of these items shipped. 🙂 I’ll either get a lecture, or I’ll get a high five. Lol! Let me know if you think you could use it. In the meantime, I’m going to check in with some of my friends who are doing a little better than me financially. I know at least three awesome ladies who would be happy to help me get these items shipped. I just want to keep the positivity flowing. It’s all I can do in return to express my gratitude for the kind folks who helped my son and I out this Christmas. Take care, Gene!

  833. Some wonderful elf purchased the two things on our list 617. So you can delete us if it isn’t already. Thank you to everyone that’s helped & moderated. I know it’s hard to keep the holiday spirit when you keep see the negative. But from one parent to another thank you and happy holidays.

  836. I have updated my list one last time as this starts to wind down. All the prices on Amazon kept fluctuating so some of the items got bumped up in price. Everything, except for the shirt and pants, are now $13 and below. Thanks again for the opportunity and I hope everyone has a great Christmas.

  837. Stitchress thank you I’m sorry I thought I was put in the corner or something.

  838. I added comments to the items with their names and ages. Please allow me on the Master list. thank you for organizing this and making it fair. this is my 1st time here, but after reading through the comments it appears (not surprisingly) that scamming is common. I was in a rush to get on the list and forgot to add the their info. Sorry for being a problem child.

  839. @Stitchress Hi I am #2237 so sorry to bother you as you have been doing so much here since I have posted and know much more when this program began. My almost 4-year-old was given shoes from a friend today for his birthday on the 19th, I have shoes on his wishlist and know we are not to delete items. So, I was wondering if I should make a note by the item saying not needed and add a toy instead to replace it? Take your time getting to my question, I know you and everyone is so busy trying to keep things running. I have yet to be gifted for either child but just by chance I a kind stranger does I would like them to save their money if they happen to choose the shoes. That is all I had for him on his list were clothes with him being level 3 on the spectrum and clothes are needed for him very much but thought replacing it with a toy at his actual level which is 6 months old or a book I could read to him would be a nice thing for his Birthday and Christmas combined. I am so sorry my comment is so long while you are so busy I just want to be sure that if by chance I happen to receive a miracle I follow the rules by not deleting the shoes due to a kind friend gifting him them today. Thank you so much for all of you and the others for maintaining the master list and all this horrible drama I have seen. I am not even thinking about adding other needs at this time at all as I just made the first post for help yesterday morning. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope today is a good day for everyone <3

  842. missrandomthoughts @2839 Excellent Question! Yes, please just make a note next to the shoes that they are no longer needed, and add a toy or whatever he needs 🙂 Thank you for being kind with your question <3 Have a great day, Merry Xmas!

  844. Kortez #2483…the hat and gloves set for your little one should be there by Christmas Eve!

    #2699 and #2720…I completely agree with your comments.
    Despite some of the negativity, I’m choosing to keep believing in the reason for the season and the goodness in all who have given selflessly of their time and resources to bless others.
    Merry Christmas y’all!

  845. Stitchress you are a super ninja commenter! Thank you for your help I appreciate it so much and no thanks needed at all <3 I am so amazed by everything you and the helpers giving and with the list have done you all deserve so much love. I will go ahead and make a note by those shoes and find something he would enjoy to have. 🙂

  847. Missrandomthoughts I forgot to remind you one of your items is not on prime 🙁 maybe check to see if there is a prime option? thanks 😉

  848. I am on the master list 2181. But I have a question, after February 5th when are income will be back to stable, can I come back to this website and purchase things for families? I’m not sure if I’ll be picked for help, but this is so amazing and I would love to give back when I make it out of this dark financial hole that I’m in.

  849. @2848 What a generous offer. I don’t believe the lists stay up that long past the holidays, but I do know Jenny mentions some amazing charities throughout her blog. I know ProjectNightNight is a big one, and I guess that’s the only one I can remember right now haha I apologize. That program helps homeless children year round 🙂

  850. I removed the gift card and replaced with other idea even though masons list was small all he wanted was stuff for his ps4 from last Christmas but I got the list updated i did leave things per what jenny said could be done after friday since on the 10th and 11th it wasnt noticed so i added prime items and ideas i dont expect each to get all but like i said in post 2807 ive never in my life been in the situation of not being able to get anything but small stocking stuffers if that because im now in the hospital with a small blood clot in my eye and jan had my eye removed which killed me and now left me disabled. My benefits are suppose to start in march but with thaat I waited till after friday in hopes that they could get more than one item seems how I honestly on God need help, my Facebook is under the same name and there you scan see we have had it rough going from my surgery losing my job and my home being homeless and just getting an apartment 2 months ago, that’s why I only posted the 35 limit up until today. I hope we are on the same page please if not let me know. Here’s the updated and fixed list. Findlay ohio 2 boys mason 12 almost 13 and karson 7 almost 8.

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

  851. 2849,stitchress, I’m going to have to explore this website. I just can’t get enough of this love. I keep reading and I’m just amazed at all the generosity of strangers coming together. Even just watching other families get picked is amazing to me because I know other families have it worse than I do, because at least I have a rough estimate of where my light at the end of the tunnel is this time. I’m rooting for everyone! Merry Christmas to everyone! God bless. You guys are all angels.

  852. Maybe I overlooked it when posting earlier, (original post #2740), but what is all this business with the “Master List”? Will I not receive help because I am not on it, or is it just a way to organize? Can I be put on it? I guess I am just looking for some clarification…thank you. -Brynn (sorry, it didn’t post my name last time)

  854. Hi my post is 1840 and I just want to say I updated my list the weighted blanket was no longer Available so I deleted that on and picked another I hope that is okay. Hope fully our list is picked it’s only 2 things that’s are needed. Thank you all for your hard work Merry Christmas

  855. Jennifer Miller @2850 you still have 2 action figures totaling $60 for one of your boys, it really needs to be $35 each for games/toys, then $60 if they need a winter coat, approx $35 each if they need clothes. These caps are just in place so we can help as many families as possible 🙂 thanks for understanding!

  859. I’m a recipient myself and my wish list was fulfilled the first day and I couldn’t be more thankful. I obviously have no money but I wanted to get one child one thing, preferably a book. I found one that I I could pay for (3.99) on a list posted by a single dad
    I noticed that nothing on this very reasonable list has been bought for these two little girls and I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case it was overlooked.

    It was posted by Damien and it’s #2746 here I don’t know anything about the master list.

  861. THANK YOU Anonymous for clarifying the Toy thing. I wasn’t sure if boots were not included & didn’t want to go over the price. I will put a small toy for Nathaniel because I know he will be excited for the boots but would enjoy a toy also.
    Hi I’m April a mom of 3 from Chicago, IL going through a very hard year financially. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 3 kids. A 9 year old by named Nathaniel he doesn’t need a coat but is in need of boots for the Chicago snow to come. I didn’t add a toy for him since the boots were almost $35. My 5 year old girl Named Annabella 18 month old girl Named Sophie. I think I kept every thing under $35. I hope I copied the link right. James Garfiel 2019

    I also realized I did not add the shipping address on earlier so I fixed it.

  864. I’m back from my daughter’s birthday and want to reach out to JZ (post 2720)… here’s a big hug. Thank you for your generosity and sticking with us.

  866. Stitchress , Hi again 🙂 I noted next to the shoes no longer needed and added a plastic art pin that his speech therapist has that he loves! I then seen you mention that one of the items on the list were not prime eligible, I had just went back to look and seen “Prime” next to each one. #2237 is the number of my post, can you tell me which item? I am not sure what I am not seeing that you are, thank you again for your help!!!

  869. Stitchress thank you again! I think Amazon is changing prices and other things on and off, I did notice a price change on one of the items this morning. Thank you so much I hope they do too <3

  870. Misfit Elf, the new Facebook group is for those who want to help moderate or get a new system implemented for next year, or possibly Booksgiving. It’s a private group, but you can join if you want to help, but it’s not a place to post wish lists. Does that make sense?

  874. Hi, I’m posting my “Friday list” today. It has items for my husband, myself, our daughter, and medical needs for her as well.

    My husband desperately needs a pair of work boots and a jacket. There is a jacket on the list, as well as Visa gift certificates that would be used to purchase work boots for him. He’s currently wrapping his feet in plastic bags to keep them dry because his old Air Force combat boots have split soles. Yes, he’s a Veteran, though he hates to be called one, because doesn’t feel He deserves it.

    For Ro there are clothes, a blanket, a sketchbook (she’s an artist and drawing helps keep her mind off the bad that is her multiple illnesses), a pair of gloves, a clock radio w/nightlight (hers died a few months ago) that will hopefully help her horrible insomnia and fear of the dark/anxiety/seeing things in the dark, and supplements that go into a sleep formula highly recommended by those with Ro’s same illnesses and sleep issues. Nothing OTC or prescription has alleviated her insomnia. This is a last-ditch effort.

    For me, there is a zip-up hoodie, a pair of gloves, and a winter coat.

    I have also added a printer to the list because it is a true need. Ro is in homebound instruction, and I need to be able to print her work out. I also need it for her medical reports, records, applications for medication help, etc. It’s too expensive to keep going to Staples to get everything printed out, considering how much I need to do that weekly. I completely understand if this is too much. I thought I would take the chance, though, just in case.

    However, the most immediate needs are the jacket and work boots for my husband, and the clock radio, and sleep supplements for Ro. I do need a jacket of some kind, but my husband and daughter are far more important.

    Thank you to anyone that helps fulfill any if the needs in the list. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in this Miracle.

  876. Serine23 thanks I’m just grabbing lunch/dinner for my crew Thanks! I’m not feeling overwhelmed or anything, doing great mentally/emotionally <3

  877. Thanks so much, Serine23–I obviously needed that hug! 🙂 It’s amazing what a mug of tea and a doughnut can do for one’s mood, and I’m glad to be here.

    I’m in awe of what you, Stitchress, Kawaii Punk and the other wonderful helpers are doing with this mammoth job. You all deserve doughnuts as well! Thanks for keeping things supportive for everyone and for being able to shrug off the negativity. I admire and thank you all for that, too!

  878. Serine23 I made changes to the columns and such earlier today, it looks great on my phone, I have android 👍🏻

  879. I need spoons please remove the gift card, and edit your list to be within reasonable amounts for each person? We still have so many people to help, and want to help as many as possible 👍🏻💚

  881. Stitchress I’m so sorry I didn’t think it was a problem since I’m deleting so no one buys the item my bad. As I can’t make comments on the list from my phone sorry

  882. Julie 2786, not a specific website, but Jenny’s Facebook has posts about this event, and I bet shared pictures would be a nice touch.

  883. We received the makeup mirror for my teenage daughter today. THANK YOU!! She is going to be so happy. None of he other kids have been bought for but it’s ok. I know I asked for a booster seat for my youngest daughter and that is over the limit. I thought just maybe someone would be able to but I want all the kids here to be able to get something and don’t want to take away. My kids have toys and stuff and I am able to get them little things at amazing stores like 5 Below. If you are near one check it out! It is amazing. I was able to get them each a couple things in there. It is just the bigger items I can’t swing right now.

    Merry Christmas and thank you again to the angel who got the make up mirror even thoigh I think she is too youn for make up lol!

  884. I’m nervous I waited too long but I was really hoping I could make it work this year.. but no luck.

    I have 3 kids. Alyssa is 10, Riley is 12 and Mariana is 15. They did get some “angel” gifts from school but as a mom I just want to be able to give them at least one or two things so they don’t see how tough things are.

    Please consider us? We are very grateful.

  885. Another Anonymous post 2803, I want to verify this… are you being sent direct emails from someone named Cody, or are you getting collaboration emails from Amazon. These can be deleted from your lists on Amazon and occurs when someone has created an invitation list rather than a shared list… let me know if you need more help. Someone a while back shared good information about those.

  888. My list # is 517 and we were blessed to have our Christmas gifts bought. It is after Friday so I added some things for the girls to eat like Jenny said we could but please only after other children’s lists are filled. It is hard to ask for food but the local food bank has been running out and I just barely paid the light bill for this month. Thank you all so much for everything!

Two of my children have autism and they have never went with out a Christmas. Children with autism have to be on a schedule or they have bad melt downs. I’ve put in post before this one and here are the numbers

    I’m from New York
    Family of 5 the ages are in the comments in amazon wish list.
    Thank you merry Christmas

  893. Update: There are currently 117 ACTIVE Lists on the Master List, I just deleted a few that were filled. There are numerous partially filled lists at this point as well. Some have had no wishes filled. If you are still giving, let’s try to show these folks some help, and finish off those lists that are almost done. Can we shrink the list? Yes we can!

    The Master is basically a document that is live-edited so that people can easily find lists to fill. It is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing

  894. @Patricia Laden, one coloring book headed out to your eldest. I wish I could do more! Merry Christmas!

  895. If everyone could share the google doc with a brief explanation on their social media accounts just think of all the angels we could get to help fill wishes!

  896. Dawn #2253, no address comes up when I try to buy from your list. Can you fix, please?

  898. Liz #2230, gloves for both should arrive Monday, sports bra on Weds. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  899. I think we need to post that there are no new wish lists requests and if you post it will be deleted. Every other program has a cut off. This one needs one too. Let us finish what we have and anyone new coming along should reach out locally for assistance in their area.

  900. Hey Patricia I have an extra Hatchimals set I could pop in the mail to you if you feel comfortable sharing your address (I’m also in NY near Rochester so you’d prob get it in time) Not sure what series it is, its like a 4 pack or something?

    I purchased the Shopkins on your list too, one of them says its shipping on Dec 24th tho. Hopefully the Elves at Amazon can get it there sooner.

  901. Nancy is your list not on the master? I’m trying to understand why certain people keep posting the same things.

  902. Hi! Thank you for getting a bit for my sis. Undies and socks are still needed and a few things soany givers left would be appreciated! Posting her list because I love her and want them to get help they need. Thank you!
    http://a.co/6ljgTTu

  904. Christine #487, snow tube is back in stock on the 20th, should arrive by 26th but hopefully it’ll get there before Xmas. A very Merry to you and yours!

  905. Damien 2746, the pink mystery pet wouldn’t arrive until the end of January, but I got the other two items. Merry Christmas, and thanks to Anonymous 2859 for pointing out this list. Merry Christmas!

  906. @Roxie #2884, a Harry Potter water bottle headed to your Akyssa! I’d do more if I could! Merry Christmas!

  912. I have tried to find the info with CTRL F on how to remove myself as a collaborator but can’t find it anywhere. Can someone help? I don’t want to just unsubscribe, I want to be removed. Amazon doesn’t seem to have that info anywhere on their site and Google didn’t help either.
    #2232 is an invite link on the Master list, btw.

  914. Shan, thank you so much!! She will absolutely love it.

    I’m post #2884 if anyone is able to help me with the other two kids but if not we will be grateful for anything!

  915. I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

    Thanks <3 <3

  918. Brandee 1912, ok, this is what you do go to your Amazon Wishlist and look at the lists on your left, then click the collaboration list it will be the person’s name or James Garfield or something, click on it, then on the top right of their list will be three dots, click those and then manage list, then delete list. Confirm. Voila! Hope that helps.

  920. CSHO, I see you have reposted your exact post six times since yesterday. Please be patient, you are on the master list and it makes it very difficult to maintain repeated posts. Thank you!

  922. Serine, thank you! Geez, Louise, I clicked on List Help and every other clickable item on the page but that one! Since it was right next to Share List I think I just ignored it. Thanks again for that and for all you’ve done to make this whole thing so much more organized!

  926. I hope my oops is ok? Before I saw to leave an out of stock item on the list, I replaced it and put a note why. At this point, I’m hoping more for the last 3 items rather than the suit, #2098. We don’t have any snow yet, so it’s only there as a hope for snow to have fun in it warmly for her.

  927. I’ll get back on in about an hour and help weed through the lists, serine23 you’re doing awesome!!

  929. So I want to post this and before people waggle fingers at me for favoritism, I am simply trying to clear the list, especially the early ones to get more lists met, the following lists on the master have only one or 2 items left, and are very reasonable lists: Line 14 (post 1056), Line 21 (post 1388), Line 30 (post 1472) a coat for each child (2 kids).

    Master List is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?userstoinvite=thisismolli@gmail.com&ts=5c14076e&actionButton=1#gid=0

  931. Serine23 no fingers waggling at you and my number is not on the post, more of a round of applause. All of you working together to help each family in need is amazing, I realize I may not be helped and I hope others understand they might not either. However, the true thing here is this is all kindness out of peoples hearts and for me and those in need who really wish to have our children’s list filled do need to be reminded of that. I have had a rough time this year, more so this month but I am thankful to have the love of my children and in all honesty, all kids would rather have that love than an item. Love is priceless and there is a whole lotta love going around here and that is something that is lacking in the world today. To see all the help given to so many families gives me faith in humanity. Anyway, just wanted to say this because I really am thankful to even have a place to ask for help so thank you, Jennie, those helping with the list/comments and of course the kind strangers making children all over the place have a gift <3

  933. I’m sad this might get closed….As long as ONE child has the chance to open something…it’s worth it.

  935. Thank you to everyone for all the hard work and time you have put into helping everyone! I know it’s very much appreciated!

    My original post was 869, and one kid still doesn’t have anything, she only asked for books.

    Merry Christmas 🎄

  936. Anonymous at 869, when I verify your list under purchased you were shipped 5 items, books and toys between December 11th and 12th.

  937. Gene here, our list has been fulfilled! Thank you so much from all of us. The kids are going to absolutely flip out when they get the fruit! Thank you for helping me clothe and care for this brood, I never expected to end up a single dad and great uncle bless you for helping me navigate this incredibly hard first year. I feel so blessed. Thank you thank you thank you from all 7 of us! Please delete my list so others can get theirs fulfulled

  938. I originally posted at #464. I’m in tears here. You are all angels. I am very grateful that you have gifted my 2 small children when I just couldn’t make it happen. We have so many needs currently not being met and it’s sometimes hard to see that light at the end of the tunnel. I have added food items and necessities to my list. Both of my children have allergies and food sensitivities so many of the inexpensive options are not okay for us. I cook from scratch everyday for safety and they don’t get to enjoy treats like most kids. But that’s ok because they are loved and it’s probably healthier anyway. Please only buy for us as a last resort, we are grateful and don’t want to take away from others. I’m only posting because maybe someone can help after they are done helping others first. My mama heart can’t stop wanting to give them a better life with all their needs met. The beautiful thing about children is they love you no matter what and they don’t fully understand all they don’t have. Please remember that if you are feeling low about not being able to provide. Give your kids love. Pop popcorn, read library books, snuggle. Love to you all. ♥️

  941. I didn’t mean to post my amazon link on my last entry, I’m sorry. If someone can remove it or remove me from the list. I am truly grateful and only added food items in the event that someone had more to give only after gifting others first. Thank you all so much. (Rebecca #464)

  943. Number 97 on the master list (your number–there isn’t an original number attached) has had a great deal purchased and I believe is over the amount…can someone with access double check please? I don’t want someone who has nothing to be overlooked because of this.

    My deepest apologies if I am wrong.

  944. Teresa at post 509, these snowsuits and coats are over the limit. I thought they might get filled, but I just think they aren’t affordable for most people at this point. Can you change to something else? I’d love to see your twins get coats… let me know.

  947. I believe I have gotten my list down. And according to Jenny’s after friday post. My original was 2807 I know amazon been freezing and changing its being used alot this time of year but please take a look at this one and refer back to post 2807. Thank you and hoping for a happy Christmas for all
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

    Karson and mason Findlay ohio

  949. Missrandomthoughts (2237) some things coming for your boys. If you feel comfortable can you share your email with me? Thanks!

  950. Allie #1388, the shoes should be there on the 19th. Merry Christmas!
    Serine, I believe that completes that list.

  951. Lemonykayden@gmail.com or spencer:

    I had a purple box of size 4 huggies on my list, which was purchased but hasnt shown up yet (i noticed thursday night that they were purchased, so i figured they would have been here by now). Anyways, i sent you an email (from shannonmariepark@yahoo.com) with more info to see if it was me or not that you had purchased them for lol

    Ive gotten a couple things ordered by angels for each of my girlz, and i appreciate all that yall have done!!

  953. #2846 here… We have nothing fulfilled as of yet. Did I make it on the master list? New to this Amazon thing.

  954. Alex #1408, The Grossery Gang should arrive Dec. 18th. Merry Xmas!
    Serine, I believe that completes that list.

  955. Omg I came back to check in while cooking sinner and someone completely emptied our list. Thank you. Thank you. I’m on my kitchen floor- my hours have been cut from 40 to 10 bevause of time off ive had to take for therapy for my autistic son. Thank you. Whoever was magical thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌

  960. I am so thrilled that it is down to 109 lists and have hope an angel will reach out for us on the underwear for my daughter, socks for my son, and gloves for our 2 pound micropremie Cerebral Palsy Warrior. It is super hard staying on top of all the laundry with Evan’s complex medical needs. His health is managed by 14 doctors and 23 hours of weekly therapy. Gratefully we can be home for Christmas this year and not in a hospital like the last two years!

    Thank you to the angels who bought Connor and Evan a toy and Bethany a coat. It says filled next to our name and that was what was so kindly given and we are super appreciative for that! I told my husband about this and he didn’t believe that strangers are willing to help others anonymously. But I told him it is just like taking a tree tag which we have done at Christmas. But thanks to the amazing reach if this blog it is like the biggest giving tree ever!

    We are 2267 if anyone is available to help us. As you can imagine, our finances are strained past the limit with all of Evan’s overwhelming medical bills!

    I wish I could post a picture of his joyous smile though, he has a beautiful spirit trapped in a body that can’t keep up. But he is stronger everyday and we will keep fighting for our Cerebral Palsy Warrior!

    Thanks Jenny, Serrine, and Stitchress and the sweet angels!

  961. Moderators: Originally back in the 900’s, i added some underclothes for my oldest. Things go to her grandparents or her dads house and never come back. Shes in need of more socks, underwear and undershirts/sports bras. They are the most recent things added to my list. Im grateful for the help i have recieved this far and hope to get some necessities for her (i didnt realize how bad it was until i just did her laundry)

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/30XQ0JIAFP747

    (It shows ive just added new things for the little kids, but i consolidated this list with our “hand out list for family/friends”.)

  962. Erica at 1463, heads up, I’m deleting you from the Master List, several folks have tried to buy your items but you are missing a shipping address. Sorry!

  965. hi everyone

    I just found out about this today from a neighbor who received help from all of you angels.

    Browsing through the comments reading as many as I can, I know its late and ending and may not receive anything at all, but I have to try for my 2 kiddos. I made a wish list with 2 toys for each of them you can find it at http://a.co/6UiCwRI

    I understand if no one is able to help us out, but a desperate momma does whatever she can. God bless and Merry Christmas everyone.

    Love Carla

  966. Rose S #1603, Two prs jeans, two packs underwear should arrive Tues, the book on Weds. I hope you are feeling better today and hope that you and yours have a good holiday.

  967. I deleted everything but boots and diapers off Our list. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3BZUELKB1UYIY
    The boots are most important for my oldest 2 since we walk to school each morning having something waterproof is vital. Those are the most important t. Thank you to those of you who sent the kids each a toy ❤ 🎄🎅
    Stitchress and Serine23 is there a way to know if I’m on the master list? I dont know what my original post was?

  968. Stitchress, I’m going to tag out for a bit. I’ve been going for a few hours. I do hope at some point Jenny Lawson checks back and sees how awesome this community is doing for one another. There are only 104 lists remaining. I recommend letting those numbers continue to be filled before adding new lists on, but that is just my humble opinion, because we’re finally making some progress. But not many news lists added in the last few hours. Slightly calmer than the last 4 days!

  969. Serine23 OMG!!! I cannot believe it, I just read your comment have not looked at the list. I have no problem at all sharing my email with you at all!! Do I put it in a comment for you or is there another way? <3 This is wonderful news 🙂

  972. I editted down our list and put exactly who each item is for. I hope this shows we aren’t asking for a lot for each kiddo. Shoes, 2 coats, and some socks for the twins to split.

  973. I noticed on the master list – shoes are commented next to my number 2237, those are noted in the list as no longer needed as my lil guy was gifted them today from a good friend. Just wanted to be sure no confusion since the shoes are no longer a need. ** Also to the angel(s) who bought both my sons a gift thank you so very much, you have made my heart all warm and fuzzy <3 I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and know how much your non-obligated help for my boys really means to me. They will be so happy, I am in tears but of joy and thank you for that as well. It is so nice to feel this way even if it doesn’t last forever to have it now is wonderful <3

  975. Hi, I was originally comment number 1289. I believe Serine added my kids list to the master list after my other 2 comments (1686/1943). I saw Serine’s comment to revamp my list as some items weren’t prime, so I did. I also removed the one item that M wanted since it shot up so much in price. I replaced it with 2 inexpensive items. But I looked at the master list and I guess we were taken off? Could someone help with that? We haven’t had anything bought off of our list at all, and that may just be because we were lost in the shuffle somehow. And if no one buys, that will be ok too, I was just hopeful. God bless to everyone and Merry Christmas!

  976. Thanks Liz for the heads up! Hope you caught that Seamstress. I just popped on to grab an address. Also, Seamstress, or anyone who is super paying attention, can anyone remember that list that had a Fortnite t-shirt on their list for their daughter? I cannot find it!

  977. Hi, I know I’m late my neighbors daughter told me just an hour ago. My 4 grandkids have been placed with me and love did, and I’d love them to get these books. I’m on social security with no extra this month. If anyone is still helping I know they would be grateful.

    I have 4 grandsons ages 13 and 16, 2 sets of twins.
    Items will ship to horseheads New York.

    Thank you in advance.

  980. What is the master list? I am confused about what’s going on. I think I am to late.
    Original post #2816

  981. From post 1874. I just want to say thank you so much to the secret aunt Angel’s out thetherthethere. Everything on the list has arrived. I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for my kids. I love you all and Merry Christmas.

  982. Liz please repost your link..I’m not finding those post numbers anywhere, my apologies, lets get that list up and see if we can find some elves!

  983. From post 1874. Thank you to all the secret santas out there. I got everything on my kids list. I cant thank you all enough. I love you all and Merry Christmas

  984. momof3april you are on the master list, as #2816, it is the list where we are organizing all of the lists so givers can shop more easily, and do the most good 🙂

  985. Oh!Ok thank you for the clarification Stitchress. I wasn’t sure what it was. Thank you for adding my kids list.

  987. Brandee,
    I have been through an entire rainbow of emotions the last week. Still very hormonal, but I am crying as I type this but these are tears of Joy. Still very soar and I definatly need some time before I am Hormonaly and emotionally stable. My boys will be getting some much needed pants. and new underwear. The book on kindness is an extra bonus. .

    THANK YOU!!!
    THANK YOU!!!
    THANK YOU!!!

  988. I’m confused… If this list is about the kids 1st, why are there people with 2nd requests on the master when There are still new lists that have not been added to the master list. shouldn’t the new list which are for TOYS and KID stuff be the priority

  993. I think we are taking a break from adding lists now. I apologize please don’t hang me..I just think we are trying to focus now on getting these 103 lists whittled down as far as we possibly can.
    I still love everyone!

  996. I just filled post 1056. So better make that 102 Stitchress! I deleted it off the Master List. That also makes me well past my budget. So I’m done for this year! I’ll still help moderate some though 🙂

  997. My intention was to not post a second time but now I’m seeing all this about a master list and wasn’t sure if there was something else I was supposed to do? I was originally 2169, just wanted to wait and hope and not hound anyone but if there’s something else I need to do, please let me know!! Thank you so much!

  998. Serine23 You are amazing!! I can see your halo from here! Thank you for clearing lists, I wish I could do more <3 Thank you for all of your help. I need to get that fb group info from you!

  999. Bailey can you tell me your original link, If it has been fulfilled and taken off we are unable to add it back to the list. I sincerely apologize. This is why we have asked people to NOT edit their lists. thanks

  1002. Kameko #1499 – I tried to send something to your kiddos but there is an error with the address. Although initially I see your name and city, once I try to complete the order I get a message that ‘these items can’t be shipped to this address’ – so I hope you can fix it? I will check the list again later 🙂

  1003. Thank you stitchress, I didn’t know I was ever on it lol. I wasn’t sure if there was something we were supposed to do to be put on it

  1004. Just wanted to say thank you again to the angel(s) who helped get a gift for my 2 boys, I am very grateful to have been helped. I truly wish everyone here has a wonderful holiday and a wonderful New Year. I pray next year I can be on the giving end and also help volunteer with the lists, I am amazed at how much you all have done getting these lists down shorter. If not in a better spot next year I will definitely be here to help if you need me to. I love you all and again thank you for brightening my evening with a feeling I have missed and needed very much <3

  1005. The master list is an awesome way to organize all of the wish list. Kudos go out to all of the amazing moderators.

    I am still confused though as to why there are 2nd requests allowed? shouldn’t we focus on kids and not cleaning supplies. every kid deserves a present Christmas morning….

    please kindly respond. Just not sure if I should stick to the “list” or scroll through the comments??

    I am more concerned with giving to a child.

  1006. Stickers or Serine can you put my list down as 1st list not fully filled. I know it’s odd people see a curtain and decor when it’s for a child with DS that doesn’t play with toys much and likes to look at things more. People are most likely not to look because it just says curtains. Thanks ladies

  1007. Post 1987 I tried to send the training pants, what size do you need? the 2T are $28 the 3T are $7.99. I see Lion is 2, but didn’t want to get something he couldn’t fit, if the 3T was too big.

  1008. Nancy, you are on the master list, you are not the only person with and incomplete list, as a matter of fact there are 99 other lists that need help..some have had zero purchases. Having a DS child does not give you special priority on the list. I apologize if that comes across rude. I’m not meaning to at all…please be patient like everyone else. thank you 😉

  1009. Anonymous I stated the same last night But was shut down by many. I even stated new angels may not understand and likelyndonate to commenters with 2nd and 3rd lists because the ones who have their list on the masters would get deleted if they posted their link. I’m one that has a first list not filled. A child with Down syndrome that doesn’t like toys but likes stickers and wanted JOJO curtains and was told i didn’t need to say anything because a kid with a 2nd list and warm clothes was more important. My comment proves truth here. With that said I have a first list not filled and I’m grateful for the Master list and the time it took to do it but people with 2nd lists are getting before kids with nothing

    Wish List

    Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2Q7BK3E97O3B1

  1010. I understand your frustrations, it’s a stressful time. However, the people buying the gifts are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, it is up to them what items they purchase. Everyone that reads the comments knows your situation as you’ve made many posts about it. I sincerely hope your list gets filled but there is no way to force people to fill lists in any specific order, this isn’t necessarily a FCFS kind of program, I apologize if you feel that’s unfair. I hope you can still have a merry xmas 😉

  1012. Nancy with as many times as you’ve posted throughout I’m sure your list has gotten some attention. Many angels pick the gifts that they are excited about purchasing for a child and since it’s their time, money and kindness they are entitled to choose whichever list they’d like. Just because you posted first doesn’t mean you are any more entitled to a completed list than anyone else here. There are several lists without not even one item purchased. In the realm of fairness shouldn’t they take priority over yours that does have a purchase?

  1014. Stitchress look up at the donators comment above mine. Same thing I said all along. Some people that donate don’t know to go or pay attention to it. Or just don’t understand it in general. That’s exactly what I said and ppl will donate to a list on the comments before going to the list. I also assumed the list was only for ppl with 1st lists. You can take me off if you wish but I would rather post my list here and take my chances. Have a good night

  1015. Trying this again because I was told my link was broken. Hopefully this works.
    I was originally post 546 and had to update my list this morning because an item for each kid was no longer available or had a large price increase. My son with special needs also needs a coat (more like a poncho and if anyone can sew that might be a good project for you). Hate that the only poncho I could find for his wheelchair is so expensive. Thank you all for looking. 3 kids (13, 12, and 3) in NC.

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1X8O524HOUCT6

  1016. Nancy I know you’re going to do whatever you want in the end, and that’s fine, but please understand we are just trying to help people by putting all the lists together on the master list. It makes it easier to shop, and just because it is new this year, and wasn’t in effect when this opened, it isn’t as perfect a system as you’d like I’m sure. I would like to just say when people like yourself, decide to not follow the rules, and just do whatever you want regardless of what you’re asked it makes things less efficient overall. I’m leaving your list alone, as I don’t want to be blamed if it doesn’t end up getting filled, and I sincerely hope it does, as I hope for all 100 lists that are left.

  1017. J’s Mom #2187 (on Master as 2188) – all of your items are ‘add ons’ which means Amazon won’t ship unless they go with a regular item… I am sure that’s why your items have not been purchased. See if you can find an item that is not an ‘add on’ and put it on your list as well – I will check on your list later 🙂

  1018. Each one of my three littles have 1 thing coming!
    So grateful for any help at all.
    Help with a coat or boots would be so so so appreciated!

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/PY2SXOUONYC4

  1019. OK… let’s not start all this again. If you are curious about why it is the way it is, it is because of one simple fact… JENNY IS KIND. She has said people can come back for some additional items. I hear everyone’s concerns, but we have been honoring her wish to just keep rolling, in the past it has fizzled out, this year moderators stepped in and I think (hope) that it has helped keep it alive and organized, and more people helped. Yes, it’s about kids getting toys, and coats, but Jenny has said it’s ok to add these things later, we honored and supported that for days, and now Stitchress and I and few other helpers are making one final push, and wrapping it up. Keep the love alive and don’t stir the pot!

  1020. Ohiomom please don’t repost your link in comments, we have everyones list in a master spread sheet and posting here is just causing confusion. thank you.

  1021. Nancy #2167 your comments are why I chose not to donate to you. Please be aware about how you put yourself out there. No one who made a list here’s is due anything.

  1023. Stitchress, a great big hug and love heading your way. You are awesome. Seriously folks be kind to Stitchress, she’s not getting paid to take baloney. Follow the rules. EVERYONE.

  1025. No, we are not adding, we are honoring the list. People can comment, but the hundred that have waited patiently need to the love. Remember the love.

  1027. Hi angels and elves out there, i just wanted to put it out here, there’s a snowsuit on our list for my 15 month old, and 3 items left for my 2 girls total. I’d much rather see them opening gifts on xmas and I’ll do my best to find a 2nd hand suit when I’ve got money next month. Post #2098

  1028. Cindy @1957 Tried sending you things off your list and it still says the item can not be shipped to your address. Can you verify things are correct? I’ll check back later.

  1029. But i really want those gifting to know it really does mean a lot to families like mine where we worry about if we did enough to give our children those lasting memories opening their gifts. Hoping next year we can return the favor to some families to experience the joy we get

  1030. Serine23 are we supposed to be trimming lists that don’t have proper addresses or have items that are not on prime as well? we are down to 98 lists!!! This is so amazing!!

  1031. My issue with you master list is that you are
    NOT ALLOWING ANYONE NEW TO POST A LIST time posters And yet you
    ARE ALLOWING REPOSTS?

    That seems very sketchy to me.

  1032. we are not adding anymore things to the master list because it will just keep going forever.. If you are not on the list, I think you can post your list in the comments, is that correct Serene23? The JGXM has been going on almost a full week, and people are getting worn down, it can’t realistically just keep adding lists…right?
    Master List Here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?ts=5c13ced8#gid=0

  1033. @2250 – you have an item coming! Just one, I’m pretty broke right now, but the empty “purchased” list was making me sad.

  1035. Clarification, in short you have missed the train. It’s been out on the tracks and is rolling in the station. It’s not fair to the previous posters or the moderators who are giving up their time to do this selfless work to continue having people show up with brand new lists. All good things must end.

  1036. Clarification Please – all can post here in comments. The Masterlist is a document created by volunteers to help keep the lists posted in comments organized and give gifters an easier way to find unfulfilled lists. No one is preventing comments here.

  1037. Hey guys! Still looking for an angel for my totally awesome kids! They are in honors math and English. Straight ad’s (and one b … Gym!!) They help each other out and help take care of their sick momma and grandma. Last year they donated Christians dinner to a family in need. This year, things Are much different. I’m hoping the universe will keep the love going for them because I know they deserve it! 🤘🤞🌏 They didn’t ask for much. And we plan to pay it forward. Just wanted to get it noticed by someone… Anyone! 💜 Thank you all guys for everything you’re doing. This whole thing is truly amazing!!

  1039. Stitchress or Serine 23: My list is no longer on the master list. I don’t know what happened. I received one toy for one child.

  1042. Just wanted to get my need* out there. A cloth diaper sprayer… Would really make a difference in this moms life…

  1044. Nancy I’ve sent the the JoJo things and some books for your to read with your kiddos. I hope you have the Merriest of Christmases!

    I saw your daughter likes American Girl dolls, be sure to check Craigslist, I’ve seen quite a few pop up on ours that are reasonably priced, just in need of some tlc. (I’ve been on the hunt for one to make into a Unicorn girl with rainbow hair for a fun craft project)

  1046. Anon 2740 – I wish the game had been in stock, but sent one item that should arrive the 19th. Good luck getting the IEP squared away, and happy holidays!

  1047. Just want to be sure everyone knows where the master list is, there are 96 lists there that have been waiting since the beginning, some with no purchases at all, and so many options $20 and under to make someones holidays just a little brighter 🙂
    Again, this is to help gifters find families in need, not to alienate anyone, everyone has had ample opportunity to follow the rules set by Jenny herself, and be listed on the master sheet, to help push things along. Wishing everyone a happy holiday <3
    Master List Here:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?ts=5c13ced8#gid=0

  1048. Ciara, im not sure which items had the shipping errors so i added 2 other mirrors and 2 other games just to try them and if one of them works I can just delete the rest of the list? The address on there is correct….so maybe one of them will work? Im not sure what else to do…Thank you so much for trying I appreciate it so much…you are truly an angel!

  1049. Omg, I just checked our wishlist, and I’m fighting tears. THANK YOU to whoever bought those last 3 things for my girls. My 9 year old got diagnosed with autism this summer, along with her ADHD/SPD and minecraft is her escape. I’d love to send you a thank you if you would like a pic on xmas

  1050. Serine or stitchress, I’m number 2098, 55 on the list i think, please take us off so others can hopefully get their lists taken care of. THANK YOU again whoever you are, and merry Christmas to your family

  1052. Anonmom, #3049, that was me. 🙂 I included my email address on the gift receipt, just in case.
    I hope the gifts are enjoyed, and that you have an extremely Merry Christmas!

  1053. I had told myself I wasn’t going to post again but after a couple days I convinced myself to try just once more. I hate feeling like i look desperate or a lousy mom begging for help. I know some others may be worse off then we are right now and need it more but y’all we really could use a miracle and honestly some stress relief as Christmas morning draws closer and closer. This event really is amazing tho guys seeing people help each other and caring for others. If I dont end up with my miracle I know countless others have been blessed that maybe needed it more then us. I know some probably didn’t need it at all and that sucks but the good definitely out weighs the bad in my opinion. All you guys that have been helping children having gifts Christmas morning are truly amazing and angels! I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a blessed loving thankful day with your loved ones, because that’s truly what counts. One last time here is my list in case someone sees this and is able to help this tired stressed mama out! I would be forever grateful and absolutely overjoyed for answered prays. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/14WBTJKMFG4GR

  1054. WP, thank you. My oldest is going to freak out opening that book set, that game really is her safe zone. My toddler, she’ll either be banging on that drum toy with pure delight, or carrying the unicorn everywhere and giving it hugs. I’ll be sure to make sure we send you pictures, because that’s the only way I know to share the joy of watching children open their gifts

  1055. Can someone check my link and make sure I did it okay? I see people adding things, but we’re still hopeful. The price changed on one thing, so I deleted it. My youngest needs a coat, and it sold out, so I put one that was in stock.
    This is our first list 3 toys for 3 kids, and a coat. Original post #1938 (Euless, TX)
    Thank so much.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3FIU19FWZVW5Q
    Merry Christmas!

  1056. We also got the 1st 2 gifts today that were ordered, the wonky donkey book is coming with us to both sides of family gatherings to watch family read our toddler the book. The bag set for my oldest will also make traveling easier on all of us having her own bag for things

  1058. Thank you Ciara for being so generous and spreading joy! <3 So happy for you Cindy @1957, I hope you have an amazing holiday with your family <3

  1059. Ciara, thank you so much! The girls are going to be thrilled ♥. You guys have no idea how much this means to me, you have saved Christmas in our house.

    I have deleted the rest of the items off the wish list, please mark us as fulfilled and remove us from the master list, post #1957 on there.

  1061. I am Becca from 1671. I made a stupid mistake ! I asked for a comforter set for my daughter as her wish. And when it came yesterday I found what I added was a sheet set ! I messed up so bad ! If there is any chance of anyone sending her any gray kind of comforter ? I know it is a lot to ask and so many kids still need wishes, but it’s all she asked for and I screwed it up. You can see the list here and under purchase what was sent. I am so sorry to ask ! Thank you to the person who sent her the lovely sheet set. I know she will love it ! Thank you !

  1063. Serine & Stitchtress:

    I just fulfilled1496 (line 27) and 2243 (line 73. I tried to fulfill 2253 (line 67 – just socks), but there was no address listed, unless I’m missing it?

    I wish I could do more to help you two, but I’m totally tapped out with my own Holiday Drive that I organize each year. I am really interested in volunteering some time next year for pre-JGXM logistics/moderating/moral support/sending Starbucks gift cards to the moderators! You guys are rockstars, and I can’t believe how much of your own time you’ve given up. Serine – Happy Birthday to your daughter. 🙂

  1066. Fulfilled list 2470 (line 83) – except for the one non-prime item.
    Fulfilled list 1987
    461 looks like it’s been fulfilled by someone, as well as 1496. 🙂

  1071. Thank you Dawn, I was gonna post one but didn’t want to take away from others on here and will not post a second list because so many others are in need. Merry Christmas and I will definitely check Craigslist. THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

  1074. First I would like to thank the volunteers who suggested a master list and who are keeping up with it…
    That said, it is not “their game, their rules” as one poster stated.
    This is Jennys project that she started. And she okayed a master list. If she chooses that the volunteers STOP adding to it, then they should. However, she didn’t (as far as I know.)

    Bless you, volunteers, but I don’t think it’s your decision to make on this. And, no. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to…but if you don’t, perhaps someone else can, until Jenny herself decides otherwise…and last I read, she said to keep going until it fizzled out.

    If I am wrong, and Jenny has made that decision…then I apologize for my mistake.

  1075. @Stitchress- I transposed the 4 and 7! So sorry. 2740 is the list that has one last item (socks), I tried to buy but there was no address listed.

    I think the line #s are all different now, since some lists have been removed! But once I figured out that I could leave comments on the Master, I left them there – so no worries, you removed all of them!

  1076. I understand what you’re saying @3074, it’s not my call, but it is fizzling out..we already have so many lists that haven’t even been touched, and it is so hard to see that and still keep adding lists when we are already really pushing for what has been posted..If Jenny comes and says we were wrong and to take as many new posts as come in, fine we will obviously, but this can’t go on forever, personally I feel like it would be less considerate if we continued taking lists knowing how unlikely it would be for them to be filled..leading to more disappointment..I just want to spread joy, and like all good things this too has to come to an end, until next year when JG puts his hat on again for more fun!

    Happy Holidays to all, if you are looking to give some cheer please check out the master list:

  1083. Stitchress – you’re doing the right thing, and I really think Jenny would agree. The moderators have to consider their own mental/physical health at this point as well – you guys have been doing this at all hours of the day and night. Plus, at this point, we are coming up on shipping dates that cut it close to Christmas Eve. Thank you again for all of your hard work. I’ll check back on the Master tomorrow. <3

  1084. Yes they are the same. One is through the Amazon smile link and the other isn’t but view them, same exact list.

  1085. Thank you Kristen Smith <3 I really am enjoying helping out, I am happy we’ve been able to help so many people, have a great night!

  1091. Anonymous @3021 If you look many others have said exactly what I have said but hid behind an Anonymous name. Excuse me for actually standing up and saying something and my comment turned out to be true about new donators not knowing or wanting to deal with the Master list and the fact that 2nd lists were being filled before kids who didn’t get even one gift. Your right No one is due anything however if the ppl with lists sitting waiting on a master list don’t comment anymore after their list gets overlooked and ppl in the newer comments get a second list filled because donators didn’t know they were there. The comment I made in regards to my child being disabled was because someone said that someone’s 2nd list of clothes was more important than a sticker and a curtain on my first list. That’s why I made that comment. Simply because my child doesn’t play with many toys I was bashed for putting a curtain. Irregardless if you wanted to donate to me or not I said what everyone else who was pushed back afraid to comment in fear of their list being deleted from the Master list. I posted the comment with my name and not anonymous.

  1092. Reply… 2063 here, sorry, I totally forgot. I changed the wishlist and added comments.

    Two boys – 15 and 16
    One girl – 14

    Thank you so much

  1096. Your list has been fulfilled and you’re still going on and on. Please let it go and have a great holiday.

  1099. Mel (223/703),
    I just tried to buy the Pomsies Patches Plush Interactive Toy but it’s out of stock until after Christmas. Perhaps replace it with something else?

  1101. Thank you to whoever got my son socks and undies. He seriously needs them! And thank you to ALL of the volunteers and grifters! You guys really are awesome. I’d love to help at least as a moderator next year I hope there is a call for volunteers here or on fb.

  1103. I’m a single mom of 2 teens and 1 preteen. Although they don’t believe in Santa, I believe they still deserve to have a few gifts under the tree. I know I’m late and probably won’t even have my list looked at, but I’m not going down without trying. They are 3 totally different boys, they like different things. As of now they have two small gifts each in on the list. They need backpack, but they only like drawstring. They don’t have books, because all their reading is done on tablets, so these are perfect for that!

  1104. Stitchress, I just sent a couple more items your way. The work you (and the others) have done here is truly herculean!
    Cheers,
    Spencer

  1105. Spencer…I thank you so much..I never imagined I would have received so much love for my enormous need, but I am so endlessly grateful for all of you amazing elves/givers <3 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  1106. Lovely moderators,
    #1122 is filled except for the socks which are out of stock.
    Peace out.

  1108. Hi thank you so much for putting me on the master list #2232 I feel like I set it up wrong is there anyway someone can check for me it would be greatly appreciated:)

  1110. 2232 your list is fine! I will be back in a couple hours to sift through the list and update any changes 👍🏻

  1111. I just saw your post JZ thank you so very much and bless you for your kindness!
    Julie that is a sweet offer but I do not want to stress you over shipping! Bless you for offering!
    You are all sweet people and you have touched so many lives this week, merry Christmas to you wonderful angels!
    -Gene

  1112. I know I have read that you are not adding any more to the master list but I figured it was worth a try. My neighbors came home today to discover that someone had broken into their house and pretty much cleaned them out including the presents they had already bought. My sister was kind enough to receive help from some “elves on here” this week and let me know about the amazing things being done here. They have 4 kids and a furrbaby. Any help would be appreciated for them.

  1113. I don’t think the correct link is on the master for me. When I click it, there’s foods. I didn’t put any food on my list, only 2 things for each of my 3 littles. I was 2169 and on the master list it’s line 4. Can someone help?

  1114. Doesn’t look like it’s on there anywhere. I tried matching the links and it seems mine was deleted but my comment number from here is on there. I didn’t have anything purchased and don’t believe anyone was over the $35. If I did something wrong please let me know. This whole time I thought I was on it. I apologize if I missed a comment about something that needs fixed, I’ll go scroll and try to see now

  1115. Commenter 3053 – First off you’re not a lousy mom and second of all my son has the same Nerf gun so brace yourself. Haha. I sent the three older kids something – I hope someone can pick up the tool set for the toddler but if not, can you add something little for him and I can ship that. I’m getting close to my budget.

    Merry Christmas to your family from mine. 🙂

    Amy

  1116. Hi, I hope someone can help with items on our list. There’s a winter coat for me because I have no coat. The weather will be below zero soon and I’m already fighting pneumonia. I also added a menstrual cup. The kids needs a few clothing items each and would be happy if someone could grab a book for them. Thank you for taking the time to read this and happy holidays to you and your family.

  1117. Hello to all the lovely people dedicating so much time and effort to this, I am really sorry to add to the mix!! The lovely Allegra, comment 2924 mentioned that list 2265 (my list) was filled. I was reading through the comments this morning and was over-joyed and incredibly thankful to see this. When I look at my Amazon list though, everything is still showing there as unpurchased. This sounds awful, please don’t take this the wrong way. I’m wondering if I’ve done something wrong on my end? To Allegra, thank you so so so much. I’m hoping someone can shed light? Again, I really do apologise for commenting with this, I know how busy everyone is!

  1118. Sandra, your list is just taking me to the amazon home page. Maybe someone else can check?

  1120. http://amzn.eu/75sCdkq
    I’m only reposting my link to provide clarification, not to bog things down. I’m just confused, which to be fair, is my usual state of being! When I was on the master list, I clicked my link through there and it seemed to be working. I’m not sure what’s happening. Again, sorry to have to wade in with this!

  1123. To Clarification post 3031, no one is trying to be sketchy. We are just trying to take care of the list, you are still free to make a post, but it’s quite late in the game, we’re moving into the Thank You phase and last hurrah. Thanks for being here and Merry Christmas!

  1124. Anonymous 3074, absolutely. Let me be clear, we are not shutting it down, but Stitchress is right, it IS fizzling out, and I would be pleased as punch, over the moon, happy as a clam to complete the needs to the master list. You may of course post to the comments board. And before anyone gets upset, I think WAY more people had their needs met with the master list. Merry Christmas!

  1125. Hi everyone,

    I want to first start by saying that I posted earlier this week and my daughters received toys, for which I am forever thankful for- you have no idea.

    I wanted to post again (per permission from Jenny in the original post) with other items that we really need. As I said in my original post, we are a single parent family of five. My daughters solely rely on me for support. I am off of work on FMLAZ until at least March pending surgery for my stage IV endometriosis. At this point, my endometriosis has spread to my bladder and my bowels- and causing incontinence. It leaves me house bound and embarrassed. It’s difficult for me to do much outside of my home other than picking up and dropping off my children at school because I am afraid I’ll have an accident. My surgery is scheduled for next month as my original OBGYN is unable to perform my surgery due to the complexity of it. I now have to see a specialty doctor that has no openings until then. Right now all I can do is manage the severe ongoing pain. Although I am off of work on FMLA, I have long run out of sick and vacation hours to cover my absences so that I can also be paid. So I am on a protected-non paid- leave. I won’t lie to you and say, I don’t know exactly how we will make it until I am able to go back to work financially but if there is anyone whom may find it in their heart to help us with some home and food items I would be forever grateful. I feel horrible and guilty that my children have to be home bound with me over their winter break but they should at least have some things they want if we will be on a Netflix movie steak. I am physically unable to withstand standing for long periods of time and I’ve been in the emergency room twice-this week! I seem to be a regular guest but my hands are tied until I have surgery to relieve my pain and remove the endo adhesions. I just want to feel like a normal person again.

    Thank you! 💝

  1126. Kristen Smith 2063 makes an excellent point, we are running out of time for shipping by Christmas anyway! We would be delighted to have your help next year! Please! Also, you’re such a sweetie about Starbucks, don’t know how anyone could do that, get addresses etc. I mean, I just woke up and haven’t had my coffee yet. But thank so much for the high praise and getting those lists filled! Coats on kids and toys under trees is what matters most to me!

  1127. Jessica 3113, I’m confused by your post because the comment number you site would be nearer the bottom, not line 4. I’d love to help you resolved this.

  1129. Hi sorry to be a bother can someone please change the comment for post 1840 I was told not to delete items but I’m hopping the car seat cover will get picked I put that instead of a jacket for my 5 months old. The blanket can be overlooked

    Thank you merry Christmas

  1130. Jessica 3114, do me a favor, there are so many Jessica’s that I can’t search backwards easily, please post: Serine Research (original post number) and your link. I will hop on it. After I grab my coffee.

  1131. Sandra 2265 3117 please post like this for me: Serine Research (original post number) and your link. I will hop on it. After I grab my coffee. Don’t fret we’ll get to the bottom of it!

  1132. Anonymous 3129, can you just go to your wishlist and type a comment on the items like: I don’t need this blanket, I need this carseat please! Also, not that you asked, but I do want to tell you that many Fire Departments provide free car seats, or reduced price car seats for children. Do call them and ask! Also, local Safe Kids Coalition has some great resources for car seats too. Just in case you don’t get your need met here.

  1133. Anonymous 3129, I added the comment, but it’s not a car seat, but a car seat cover. That’s different. They don’t provide those.. But still good information folks! The fire department also recycles old car seats that aren’t safe. Off track. Coffee.

  1134. SANDRA CROFT, apologies m’luv, Amazon is telling me it can’t ship to you as there is no address assigned to your wishlist. Can you fix and let me know? Do this and your list WILL be filled, I promise 🙂 xxx

  1135. Becca comment 2568, you’ve brought up a great point for everyone, and this has happened in the past. What if you got the wrong thing? First, and you should really do this anyway, send a thank you note to your giver, and tell them what happened. You should have gotten a gift receipt, that way they don’t just think you are returning your item to Amazon. Second contact Amazon! They can sort it out for you.

  1136. BTW sorry if I caused you confusion or anxiety, I was doing it late last night and didn’t realise the the order didn’t go through 🙂

    Xxxx

  1138. Serine, the one in 3120 posted by Sandra above (the UK one). All fixed now and filled 🙂 It’s been taken off the master list already.

    Sandra, look out for them on Tuesday! X

  1139. Hi Jamie @ 1477/3053 Remember, one of the rules here is that you’re not allowed to feel guilty about asking for help! I’ve been able to despatch a couple of reinbears (hey the spellchecker’s finally stopped trying to fix that, ha!) with the last few items on your list. They’ll be there separately by the looks of it between the 20th and the 24th.

    I don’t know if we’ve finally broken Amazon but it’s been funny for me all day, telling me things can ship here then deciding at the checkout they can’t, so if anyone gets any unexpected boxer shorts with woodland creatures playing hockey on them, umm SURPRISE!

  1141. Heads up: “Torrance” is Christine Segundo Hernandez (her name on FB), whose daughter’s name is Tori Pena, which is the same name on the Amazon list. She has posted under two other names here that I can see. She also did this last year, shamelessly under three names, and the year before that and the year before that. She also gets gifts from Reddit’s Christmas thread in the same fashion. She gets caught and then denies in a woe-is-me, “I’m returning everything” way.
    I don’t mention this to shame Christine because she’s beyond that, only to say “buyer beware.”
    MOST people are genuine. MOST people are good. Those who are not should be called out, so that the generosity of donors goes to those truly in need and not just greedy.

    I came home from work late last night to find the most beautiful sight I have seen all season. a 4 foot christmas tree lit up and shimmering in our home. My oldest son surprised me with a tree. I am going to remove the tree and lights on my list as it is no longer a wish. I cried so much Nik thought I was upset with him. No I was overcome with pure joy. He is working really hard to help me save Christmas for his younger siblings. He doesn’t even want anything for himself.

    I must be doing something right raising my kids,

  1143. Jenny fan
    what are the post numbers so I can avoid her.
    thank you for your diligence.

  1144. Jenny Fan 3141, thank you. Can you tell me if she is on the master list? Also, we’ll do what we can to make sure she’s not able to do that biz next year. That’s sad. I had no idea about the Reddit thing. Sheesh, whether she’s done this or not I can’t believe people would keep coats, toys, and food from hungry families for personal gain. People who are so “clever” should really apply themselves to something good.

  1145. Also, I just want to say in addition to Jenny Fan and others, I think we have managed to catch a lot of duplicates and scams this year, due to the diligence of the community as well as the master list. Next year will be even more awesome!

  1146. Desperatly Seeking Santa!!! 3142, that’s a lovely story! What a good son. I love hearing people’s lovely Christmas tales and gratitude.

  1147. Umm ok not sure what Jenny fan is referring to but when I clicked the name it went to the woman you mentioned. However it looks like that child’s name is Torianna and not Torrance. DO you know how many people have the last name Pena? Also I have 1 post as I mentioned and everyone else was posting a list of necessities and that’s my 2nd one? My email is ToriP1822@gmail.com Torrance Isabel Pena on Facebook.

  1148. Serine23
    It really is the best gift I have ever. Thank you for all that you and the other helpers have done on this thread working to keep it fair and honest. I had never even imagined that something like this thread existed. I know my list is late and likely won’t be fulfilled or even make it on to the master list. I was freaking out yesterday, but after last night I was reminded that Christmas is not about the toys and candy. Christmas is in your heart.

    I do kinda wish I never would have encouraged the whole Believe in Santa idea. I was 10 when I figured it out and was heartbroken. I still wanted to believe…. Part of me still does….

    Merry Christmas to all
    Especially Serine23
    and the others that have weeded out the greedy Grinches

  1150. I see someone commented the coats on my list are no longer prime, and it’s ok they sold out early and I was given coats for the 2 boys that will work for this year 🙂 I noted on them that they do not need to be bought because I didn’t want to delete them, per the rules 🙂 #1104

  1151. I am originally #2884

    I know this is wrapping up so I am probably grasping at straws but I’m hoping that trying one last time is the lucky time. An angel bought my daughter a water bottle but my other two have received nothing. I would truly appreciate anyone taking a moment to look to see if they can help.

  1152. Kris (post 56)

    Some items are on their way and should be with you on Tuesday.

    I hope they go some way towards making a Christmas special for you and the family.

    Jenny, as always you are awesome. Thanks for organising this chaos.

  1153. Good morning everyone! I see that master list is just dwindling away! That is so amazing!

    Post 2977/8 Can you let me know if your grandsons would be ok with a used book? I don’t have extra funds to buy all 4 (or even 1 right now ) BUT I think I have 1 of those books here somewhere. I would love to send it to you <3

  1154. Becky (post 1491) I’m going ahead and deleting you from the master you have met the limit on each kid according to my math, the coat you had on there is out of stock, and it just left the gummy bunnies. Hope that’s ok! Just trying to get others who have gotten nothing, something!

  1155. Mm post # 1583 (posted the 12th at 1120am) could really use the help. We met through autism and she is amazing, giving and I hope someone can help her boys. Hopefully next year I’m on the giving end of this. Thank you for everything so many of you did.

  1156. IMPORTANT: For those who are hanging onto hope, please don’t give up, but if you have NOT been given to, please take a moment to examine your list and needs. Don’t start deleting and re-vamping and going all willy-nilly nuts. But do make notes on your list, like: this is most important. Or if you find a less expensive version of what you need say… you have a coat, but can find a cheaper one please replace your coat and comment on your WISHLIST what you did, just so we know it’s not an adding/deleting situation. I personally would pick up a few items for folks if they were more affordable. Also, verify that your stuff is still Prime, if your socks went out of stock replace them and make a note on your list that you did, so we know what’s up. Also, if you can/want to no pressure at all… but if you feel that your needs have been met and you have been served, please step up and volunteer your list to come down so others can be helped at the end here. Thank you! Master List:

  1157. Meg 2417, you have deleted whatever was completed, but it says you added. As people cannot see what you already received this goes against the rules about deleting purchased lists. If I’m wrong here, I apologize, but I’m going to delete this “new” list off the master.

  1158. I was comment #2073 on the master list, but I noticed I was taken off. Each of my 4 children will be receiving 1 gift from the list. I was hoping as the list was getting smaller that we might be lucky enough to get noticed again. The only clothing I put on there was a coat for my daughter because hers is broken. My other children have their coats from last year. I have not been reposting so that I don’t look desperate, but I am getting so anxious about not having much to give my children. My older boys have even got jobs to help with bills, it makes me feel horrible. They didn’t ask for anything, but I put a couple of things on there because I feel they deserve something. Please help!

  1160. Hi guys, I think there was some confusion over mine and Sandra’s posts. I am post number 2265 not Sandra,this could of been why people thought she had items purchased previously? As I only have 1 item left which is something for my stillborn daughter’s grave. However I’ve just gone to Sandras list and seen her list has been fulfilled which I’m over the moon for her.
    Once again thank you to everyone who’s helping with lists,gifters and Jenny for setting this up.
    Merry Christmas everyone xx

  1161. Martha, you are on the Master List, not sure what happened. Do my a favor… move your coat to the top of your wishlist and note that it is the thing you need most for your daughter. I have noted it on the Master List too.

  1165. I am not sure if my list is on the master list but if it is please remove it.
    Only one of my four children received a gift and we so appreciate it. She will love it.
    All of the fighting and negativity on here is sad. Not everyone can be helped and I understand that .
    The thought behind it is wonderful and the generosity is amazing.

    Merry Christmas

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/CFN0KBHRI7L8

    Please remove from Master if it is on there.

  1168. Thank you so much. I wasn’t at all trying to be a bother and I know this is new and under construction so I waited as long as I could but was afraid without it on there I was running out of time. I really appreciate your help!

  1170. Jessicah 46 & 47 are different lists, one is toys, one is food. If you accidentally hover the link pops up weird. I’ve done it a few times myself…

  1172. D #3162, no address comes up from that link. I tried the list with both the socks and book (not just the socks one) and no address comes up for it either. I tried adding an item from your other list to see if that would give me an address, but no luck.

  1173. Christy 3165, thank you for that generous offer… I found your original post quite early on. And I see you were only given one item for your daughter. I just sent shoes to your little one Harper and your avid little reader a book. That should complete your list!

  1176. Hey guys. My OP is #2846. My list consists of school clothes and winter wear. (Some baby items) Everything is still unfulfilled. After discovering their mom is positive for late stage cancer, the attention hasn’t been on them in awhile. It would make the end of this year so much better. And the start of next fantastic for our super great, big hearted and supportive kids to get their gifts this year. 💜🌏🤞

  1177. All my 2 boys want for Christmas is to have Netflix back since we had to cancel it since their dad lost his job & it’s a part of their nightly routine to watch a show on it before bed (& not having it has really thrown off my autistic son’s routine) a gift card for it can be bought on Amazon for $25 but it won’t let me add it to a wishlist it only gives the option for someone to buy it & email it so I’m not sure what to do?

  1180. Serine23 You’ve been amazing, thank you for all you’ve done! Take some down time and recharge for your own holiday with your family 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful xmas <3

  1181. Are all the lists on the Master NEW 1st lists. Is there a way that you could separate the New lists from the come back lists please.

  1184. Stitchress

    I was checking the Master list and realized that I am on it. Yay!!! I got mesmerized for a moment watching you review and edit the comments for each list. That is amazing I really do appreciate the time and dedication taken to moderate this list.

    Could you please go back to mine and take off the Tree I deleted it, because my son surprised me with a tree last night (post 3142). This is my 1st list and nothing has been purchased from my list.
    I will rearrange my list in order of priority.

  1185. @Serine Thank you for letting me know. And thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. You are all beautiful souls.

    Original Post #1301

  1187. 1764 on the master list one item left I had to replace the art kit with a different one, thank you thank you so much to those who helped my kids and just blessed us. We are safe we are warm and now they will have a gift to open. God bless you all for being amazing and helping people. You all have beautiful souls. Thank you to the lady who organized this and thank you to the lady helping

  1189. Confused I don’t have a single item on my list over $35
    The most expensive toy
    is the FIngerling Hugs for Dani at 29.99
    a chess set for JoJo $15.78
    and a Small RC Drone for Nik $27.77

    Other than that I have Jammies for each of the younger ones
    Fun socks for JoJo she loves Funny socks
    and 2 shirts for Nik.

    Are you sure you are looking at my list???

  1190. And to the above, 3188 (sorry I can’t edit)…you lost me as a contributor (for the past three years) over this….

    It’s just not right to make up rules yourself. Being a volunteer does NOT mean that you get to run the show.

    Sorry…this whole thing just has gone in the wrong direction for me.

  1191. Anonymous, 3190 I am not sure what you’re referring to? None of us Volunteers are “running the show” People can still post lists to the comments, we never said no more comments..I think you are misunderstanding, because this is fizzling out and as I said before it can’t go on forever…If you read this Jenny and I have overstepped boundaries by trying to help with the list please let me know, and forgive me. I was only trying to help.

  1192. Anonymous, 3190, I’m terribly sorry to hear you say this. You do realize I’ve spoken to Jenny about the list right? Stitchress and I are not trying to run the show, we are trying to be kind and help people and keep Jenny’s mission alive! People can keep posting wishlists. If you don’t like the way it is done perhaps get involved and help? Maybe give to those you feel we are somehow wronging?

  1193. the master list is a great tool but should be ONLY 1st lists and no Reposts with EXTRA STUFF.

  1194. Desperately seeking Santa in 2800, there’s a limit of $35 total per child. So while all items in the list are below $35, when you combined them, it’s more than $35 per kid. Hope this helps with the confusion. I just want to make sure your list gets fulfilled. You have a better chance if you stick to the rules. Happy holidays!

  1195. I do agree with you Anonymous 3193, We should’ve separated them, but some people just added onto their initial lists so that would’ve gotten messy at some point as well, next year hopefully it will be all planned and set up from the opening so that we can help even more people! Thank you

  1196. Please help us. I would be so, so very grateful.

    I’m not sure what to put here – well, we have had such a bad last two years after my wrists gave out at work and I needed surgery, but we can’t afford that now. We never thought that we would be in this position because we both graduated from college and worked right away, but it’s been starting to get humiliating as I get more and more Last Minute Deals!!! emails, and an old coworker posts on her facebook wall about the things her grandchildren want or are getting.

    We have 3 children under the age of 13 and although I hate to ask, I really do need help this year. I see the James Garfield Christmas Miracle every year since the first crazy year, and I have been hooked. I almost submitted last year, but the others stories were very touching and obviously people are in much greater need than we are, but this year I think I’m just going to do it. Thank you for reading this and getting to know our family better.

  1197. I do understand that you are not trying to run the show…but it’s your decision (as you have said) to not add new requests to the master list.

    I feel that it wasn’t your decision to make. And Jenny is MIA.

    This HAS gone from being her projects, (which was less confusing imho) to you making up rules.
    You’ve gone from honoring what she wanted, to making decisions. Besides the decision to not add to the list (yes, I understand they can add in the comment), you are making the decision to remove from the master list…(because there’s just one item of candy, etc.)

    These are not your decisions to make and it’s totally turned me off.

    I have been here a few days buying this and that and I was here last year and the year before…

    What you’re doing is wrong…I’m glad some are getting stuff but you don’t get to be the new “Board of Directors” here…Please note the quotes…just so you don’t take it literally.

    I won’t clog up this with any more negativity…but you lost me…
    I can contribute somewhere else…which is what it’s all about so I’m happy about my decision. Best of luck to all 🙂

  1198. Hi Melanie @3196,
    I am looking at lists to purchase items and yours is very long and not I’m not sure it follows the rules. It needs to be $35 total per kid. You have some stuff for adults and electronics. Also, you might have a better chance to get your list fulfilled if you write down in the item comments what kid the present is for as well as ages. But remember to stick to the $35 total per kid. Happy holidays and I hope your list gets fulfilled soon.

  1199. I’m almost positive Anonymous is the same person who’s been complaining over the past couple of days. Let’s just ignore and move on. They can create their own mission if they disagree with the rules for this one.

  1200. To all those complaining:

    If I remember correctly, in past years lists were all combined. $X amount in toys/gifts and $X in needs/clothing from the get go. I THINK that Jenny tried the new way this year to reach out and help as many people as possible.
    Some of us read every blog post, read and re-read her books, and have followed Jenny for years. We have been here from the jump on this event, our families needs are not less needed because you came in almost a week after the start of this. We have waited patiently and followed the rules set forth by Jenny. The moderators are doing everything they can to carry out those wishes. Please show some respect for Jenny and the moderators, who are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. Have some Christmas spirit.

    Signed,
    Still Waiting and Hoping

  1203. Hi Elizabeth! Sooo….you are using McConnell this year? I was wondering when you would show up on this list again. You already tried at least twice before earlier in the list, using false names, of course. Nothing has changed with you–still shameless.

    This is a scammer, folks. She has gone by several names over the years, and has already been shut down twice by Jenny this year, she was using different names. She changes the names of her kids every year, and this year has added extra children.

    She has consolidated the lists that were flagged as over the limit by Jenny and added them onto one list under yet another fake name.

    Every year, Elizabeth, you are here. Every year you are lying.
    Please don’t allow this scammer to take any more away from those truly needing help. Every year she nets hundreds of dollars in gifts, and in 2016 she made over $1000.

    Please, don’t donate to this person unless you want to be rooked–she steals from children in need. She has no conscience, proven by her repeated attempts and her lies.

  1204. B for your info it is not me hiding behind th name anonymous. I have no reason to hide. I stated the truth and then proved the truth by a donator saying the exact same thing. No one complained OTHER people are speaking exactly how they feel about being put on a Master list and told if they comment their list it would be deleted. Then donators who came DIDNT know about the Master list and donated to ppl with first lists not even knowing there were people in waiting. How is that complaining? By stating the obvious? I don’t have a reason to hide behind anonymous and I with others wouldn’t either Because they have a right to speak up and post just like everyone else. Why didn’t Jenny put the Master list link in the part of the story to clear it up for donators. Why did the list go from being ppl with first lists not filled to anyone who posted again shortly after stitchress got her first wish list filled? Funny how the rules changed when the moderators got their list filled and then decided to hop in again.

  1206. BTW Nancy, my wishlish #1104 has never been filled, I have had the same list up since day 1, I did not add anything onto it either! I only changed socks for cheaper options, and noted that I no longer need coats.You are not helping anyone by spreading lies and negativity.

  1207. 3196 is a scammer–Noting her post number for those still looking to buy for people. Please see post 3203.

  1208. Serine, Stichress, and everyone else who donated their time and skills to running the list, you did a wonderful, brilliant thing, and I firmly believe that thanks are due as much to you as they are to Jenny and to everyone else who bought from the list.

    And let’s not forget that Serine did not just run the list, she also spent what must be hundreds of dollars on fulfilling them. Stichress also found a way to give to someone else despite being a recipient herself. Incidentally, if anyone is still looking to give, and agrees with my pov, Stichress list is comment 1104 on the master list.

    Running the list weeded out people who were being less than honest. It got people noticed who would have otherwise have gotten lost in the thousands of comments. It found broken links, misding addresses, got people to trim their lists down when they misunderstood the iñstructions, where otherwise they might have been ignored as too greedy.

    And it got people like me to dig in deeper than they would have otherwise (I ended up spending my new phone budget on giving, and absolutely no regrets there), because we could see the lists going down, we could see we were making a difference. Otherwise, with so many needs and not knowing which way to turn, I’d have likely just cried and bought myself a new phone instead, and then hated myself for it.

    So thank you, lovely list elves. Thank you Jenni, thank you to everyone who gave, and thank you to everyone who posted their need, because every child without a present to open on Christmas Day, or a warm coat to wear in winter, diminishes us all.

  1209. Im number 1428. I have only had wipes granted. And i am so thankful for that. Just want to thank eveyone for what they are doing.

  1210. Hello I add some needs on Friday our gas has been off for 2 months. Unfortunately we don’t have all means/enough income pay the total of all bills. Therefore we had to sacrifice not paying the gas bill in order to live. We are in Texas and it has been cold the past week or so and at night its very cold. We use our fireplace as well as boil water for baths and ect. Im requesting little more warmth for my boys at night being that we have to turn off the electric heaters at bed time.

    original post 12/14/2018 -I came back not out of greed but to add something my boys need. Our gas has been off for 2 months not. Sadly we have little income now and other bills. We have water bill, electric bill ,gas bill and rent. We have been living without gas in order to simply live. These items will help my boys stay warmer. Thank you for you help, We will not only appreciate it but forever grateful

  1212. Allegra, I have no issue with the list…I have an issue with rules being made WITHOUT the wonderful Jenny’s okay.
    Just for clarification.

  1214. Annonymous 3212 / 3213 are you seriously not understanding that this is literally Jenny’s blog and she could have blocked/deleted or otherwise changed anything she wished to at any time? No one had done anything wrong here. Please let go of the negativity and embrace the joy of children getting gifts they might otherwise not have! ❤️

  1215. Wow! I posted last night in hopes to get some gifts for my children for Christmas after hearing about this wonderful community from a neighbor.

    Came back this morning so hopeful that something would have been gifted and nothing had, which is fine and I understand I came in late to the game and it’s okay we will be fine.

    But to see all the hateful, mean and some downright rude comments is just awful to see happening. When I first arrived and was reading down the list from when it started it gave me such hope and joy in my heart.

    But now, now it is just getting depressing to even watch. So many people bickering back and forth, people scamming and taking advantage…it’s just awful.

    I don’t think I can hold on to hope and continue watching this, I was already pretty depressed about Christmas this year, but to see the greed, dishonesty and plain ol meanness creeping out now is just making things even worse.

    To Jenny, Serene, Stitchress…thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with it and trying to bring some kindness, love and a little Santa magic for some children in the world.

    To those negative mean people creeping out, go find something else to do! Volunteer at a childrens hospital or homeless shelter…try and bring a lil peace, love and understanding into your lives.

    I truly hope that everyone has a happy holiday, may 2019 bring better things for everyone.

  1216. Person calling out scammers . Do you have access to the IP addresses and information to prove these people are scamming? You have now called out 2 people and 1 you were proven wrong because those ladies don’t even live in the same state as each other. I want to donate but want fact and evidence of the people your calling out. I seen 1 you called out and these women live in different states as each other. The one posted on Facebook lives in Indiana and the list wanting to be filled is in Texas. Please show evidence of wrongdoing before bashing someone because the Santas donating are taking your word. Thank God I also looked for myself and seen you were wrong. I’m gonna purchase from Torrance’s list because no one else will because of your nasty false allegations. I have also messaged the other lady Christina on Facebook to let her know your also falsely accusing her when her name isn’t anywhere on here this year. Defamation of character without proof is a crime. I’m going to be messaging Jenny to find out the IP of the person accusing so proper authorities can be notified since your using people’s entire names and possibly endangering their lives.

    @Torrance no worries I have seen she lied and I will be purchasing a gift through your list this evening please let me know which is the most important.

  1217. Serine and other moderators,
    I jumped in here about an hour ago looking to shop for coats, in particular in some of the more recent comments/lists posted. I saw Melanie McConell 3196 needed a coat. As I went to checkout, I saw a completely different name as the one in the post. So I came back here to verify the name and noticed that some people are already reporting this as a scammer. I ended up not buying anything because the different name in the shipping address. Just wanted to bring this to your attention.

  1218. I’m am just amazed, and not in a good way!! Stitchress and Serene have done an amazing job and have been in contact with Jenny. I’m sure Jenny stepped back because she completed her mission of using her fundraising funds to fulfill Christmas wishes. This usually fizzles out. This year it seems more wishers shared the event with their friends and family and we had people posting nonstop for days. I’ve seen posts saying their neighbors and co-workers sent them here. This mission has grown far bigger than Jenny was able to accommodate on her own I’m sure and if it were not for Serene and Stitchress this board would have been a chaotic mess and would have deterred many an angel like myself away. I look forward to an improved mission next year IF it even happens at all.

  1219. A couple of observations… …

    Those of you who are hell bent on telling everyone else that they are awful, that your needs are more important, that your list is more important or you haven’t been treated fairly: DO YOU EVEN KNOW JENNY? Not personally, I mean (as 3200 pointed out) have you read her works or blog? She has taken some of the most horrible situations in life and fought like hell to put a positive spin on it; she combats the darkness with being FURIOUSLY HAPPY and lives her life with humor and kindness. If you have followed her, please remember this in dealing with your frustrations this holiday and everyday. Enjoy your life and inject positivity or… if you can’t… back away and hush). Ask yourself: What Would Jenny Do?
    For those of you who have never heard of Jenny before this event: educate yourself. If you can not strive to live up to the standard of humanity that Jenny has intended for this event: Go elsewhere.
    Do you think for ONE SECOND that Jenny isn’t reading the comments on her own blog?

    A FURIOUSLY HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

  1221. Carla @ 2965,
    I was about to walk away because of the negativity and bickering. I also almost bought something from another list that appears to be from someone trying to game the system, not confirmed but I saw something odd as I was checking out on Amazon that made me take a step back.
    I saw your comment and it made me sad that you were also ready to walk-in away and giving up on the hope that your kids might not have a gift for Xmas. This community is very positive and Jenny has been doing this for 9 years.
    So I went ahead and purchased a gift for each of your kids from the list so they can have something to open on Xmas day. My grandma would always say that every kid should have a gift to open on Xmas day, and I think yours should too.
    The toys should arrive by Dec 19.
    Happy holidays!

  1222. (Earlier posts 2533/2765)
    To Serene23, Stitchress, and any other moderators who have helped tamed the chaos of helping bring Christmas to many, many families: Thank you, and may you be blessed many times over for your efforts.

    To Jenny: Thank you for your kind heart and your bravery, for making a community for individuals like me and my amazing, quirky college kids who struggle with autism, depression and anxiety and find belonging, understanding and many laughs through your books and blog. You inspire us to press on!

    I knew I was late posting; My 17-year-old told me on Day 1, but I was in the middle of finals and barely took time to sleep and eat all week. I took Serene’s advice and put additional notes on my actual list about priority (coats and a book for my youngest). I will be very grateful for any gifts received, but I will not whine or complain if they are not (and I will encourage my children to be grateful for the things they do have: a roof over their head and family that loves them, and as of an hour ago, heat!!!)

    I feel blessed to be part of this amazing community. Please continue to show love and kindness to one another and have a wonderful holiday season.

  1223. Stitchress and Serene
    Can you please update 2965 in the comment section? 2 items have been purchased, they only have 2 additional items that need to be purchased.
    Thank you for all the wonderful work you’re doing helping Jenny with this project!

  1224. MASTER LIST #53
    Posted last night #3053 my phone doesn’t give me an option to change my name so it keeps showingn anonymous. I was using mama elf.

    Hey guys I had to add a new item for my little girl to my list because her gift become unavailable I know the chances of still getting help are getting pretty slim but im Tryin to stay hopeful. Lol. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday with their families!
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/14WBTJKMFG4GR

  1226. @thestitchress0458 the gift cards are for my husband to get work boots. They are for $25. His current work boots have split soles, and he’s wrapping his feet in plastic bags to keep them dry. He works outside. That’s a desperate need.

  1227. My original post is 1840 and I no there are tons out there that are still hoping to be taken care of including me even thou is hard to keep hope up. I just want to say I posted a car seat cover instead of a jacket for my munchkin but I am wondering if I would have better luck adding a body suit instead? I no there are still angels out there looking to help I did not ask for any Christmas gift for her ust a cover to keep warm. My twins were each granted a toy already so it’s understanding if our luck is up. I’m keeping my list as is unless someone thinks I should try to ask for a body suit instead for the baby.

  1228. Post 2129 I had to change 2 wishes because they were taken off prime but the ones I replaced are cheaper. 🙂
    Just wanted to make sure you knew that why I did.

    Chrissy

  1229. Allegra, 3208. Thank you, I really needed that. I do hope most people feel that way. I hope they feel helped. I won’t defend myself, because I do believe my actions have been from the heart, and because I have a skill at organization, and I think I’m very diplomatic. I do not believe I have overstepped my bounds, and if I have, I am sorry. I have acted in no way other than to help the community. I do not feel I have dishonored Jenny by removing a list with a bag of candy left on it, because I thought people were beautifully generous to this family, and I reached out to this person. It was all that was left and I want more people to feel the love. I have read every single post and viewed ever single wishlist, and my heart and hopes reached out to every single person. I truly mean that, I feel nothing but compassion for the strife of everyone in need. I’m truly sorry. I am really only trying to help. I’m heartbroken, and while I know one “shouldn’t feed the troll” as it were, I am crying.

  1232. Serine23–I was upset yesterday and feeling low, and you and several others reached out to me. May I send you a hug in return today? You have done a fantastic job, and all of you who worked so very hard to keep this year’s JGM on an even keel should be thanked, most sincerely, by this community.

  1234. Serine and Stitchress, you and the other wonderful moderators have been incredibly helpful, especially to gifters like myself, I honestly have no time to go over all the comments as I started gifting on Friday and there were already thousands of comments by then. The Master list was an incredible resource to me. In passing, and when looking for the master list updates, I read a couple of comments about the list (let’s call these “controversial”), so I decided to expand my reach and go over the newer comments to find folks who came in the later stages of the project. I wanted to be fair to everyone. I kind of wished I had skipped the comments, the negativity almost sent me running away from the forum. However, I read a very recent comment about someone coming in late and how disheartened she was about the negativity. Jenny has always been all about helping folks and I find her very inspirational. So I decided to stick around for a little longer and buy some kids some gifts. After all, this is all about the kids, every kid should have a gift under the tree on Christmas Day.
    Thank you again to all of you for spending your time helping folks in need. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and loved ones. Sending a big hug!

  1235. Two years ago these beautiful caring people, and the folks of the internet, helped our family with Christmas <3 This year I’m back, but for a different child we know. Maria and her daughter Forever. Maria has been trying to save for a peppa pig house for this little girl for 3 months and life this year has been hard on them. We live in central Phoenix, and I couldn’t think of a single more deserving, smart, tough little girl <3 I don’t have ANY $$ this holiday season to show this small family just how much they mean to the community, and it’s far too much to list here. But I swear, if I can help it, Forever wont have a food bank Christmas this year. Help me internet, you’re my only hope <3 ***I realize I am very late on the draw, and I see that most folks have already put up their list. I’m hoping there’s enough magic left in that ol boy for my girl Forever
    http://a.co/9CEpFr1

  1236. I don’t know if anyone is still helping but I thought I would post an update since no one has helped on our clothing needs list that I added Friday.

    First though, thanks to Serene and Stitchress. Wow! Your hours and hours given are way above and beyond. Thanks also to Jenny for this opportunity! She keeps me smiling even when it seems that I can’t go on and with all the complex medical needs of a non-verbal, non-mobile CP child. I can’t let myself get to that sad place or everyone loses.

    My son could really use socks and my daughter could really use underwear. The gloves for our Cerebral Palsy warrior are less of a priority. Since he can’t move his hands much I just have his coat adjusted super small on the wrists. His hands are not exposed much to the cold winter air. I put him in his medical stroller and obviously have a handicap placard so we get in and out of the cold PA weather to transport him to his 23 weekly therapies and the 14 doctors he has to keep him strong very quickly.

    I do still have a Hamilton Musical shirt, a Ben 10 jacket, and a blanket set on my list. I moved the priority way down but did not delete as I read that was not allowed.

    Thank you for the toy for both my son and our miracle baby and especially for the jacket for my daughter!

    If you are interested in reading more about life with a medically fragile oxygen dependent Cerebral Palsy warrior some info is posted at 663 and 1041 and 2267.

  1237. Thanks JZ and Chrissy. You know what I can take it… and you know what makes me feel better? Giving! So… dad on 2846, I bought your son a warm hat, 1104 (Stitchress, thanks for all your help) I bought your little one some warm socks and 1504 I bought one of your kiddos a coat… Merry Christmas! I’m going for a walk with my son. Merry Christmas! Happy Solstice! Joy to the world! Yay James Garfield and Jenny!

  1238. Ack! 1504, I tried to check out and you have no shipping address, I just saw it tried to ship to my address. Can you fix that?

  1239. Sarah @3235, that’s so wonderful that you want to help this little girl, but I just went to the wishlist and there’s a lot of items. This year the limit was $35 per child. Make sure you adjust your list. You have a better chance of having your list fulfilled if you stick to the rules. Happy holidays!

  1240. Without Serine, Stitchress and others helping on the list, I likely wouldn’t have kept giving past the second day of this because it’s too overwhelming to try and find legit lists that are following the
    rules, that I can afford to give to, etc. I’ve been here for five of these and don’t think I’ve given beyond the second day before this one.
    There are kids who are getting gifts because of that list. That’s what it boils down to.
    I’m not going to join the drama beyond this post, just wanted to point out from the point of view of someone who’s given to this for several years, that list has been immensely helpful.
    Thank you again, ladies.

  1241. @thestitchress0458 & Stitchress I’ve removed the printer from my “Friday” list because it’s more than doubled in price since I added it. I swear it wasn’t that much when I put it on the list! Yes, it’s a very important need, but the price is way too high now. I guess it was on sale when I found it?

    I have added a sketchbook for my daughter because I forgot to put it on there originally. All the things on the list are actual needs, not wants. I can’t take the gift certificates off because they will be used for work boots for my husband. The ones he’s wearing now have split soles. The clock radio/nightlight is for my daughter. Her doctor thinks it will help her severe insomnia and anxiety-related extreme fear of the dark that has just come up in the last few weeks. Drawing helps calm Ro’s anxiety a little, and keeps her mind off the hell that is her multiple chronic illnesses. The supplements are a last-ditch effort to try and get her insomnia under control. Nothing else has worked so far.

    The jackets/coats are the cheapest I could find on Amazon that will fit what/who they’re for, and have Prime shipping.

    I wish to God that I could afford all these things myself, but I can’t. My husband works 50-60 hours per week, and we still can’t make ends meet. It’s absolutely demoralizing and embarrassing to ask for help for basic needs, but that’s what I am doing. I’m sorry.

    http://a.co/2X9JI9e

  1242. Txmomathome – Sarah is getting her coat on the 24th. I was going to get the book for Samuel too, but because I am in UK they are only offering me slowcoach shipping, which would see the book arrive on 2nd January or even later. Would you like me to order anyway? Or is there a kind elf in the US able to get an $11.72 book for a little boy? (Comment 2533)

  1243. Hi I Need Spoons,
    Can you find work boots for your husband on Amazon instead? I think even if the price is a little more then $35, your chances of getting those fullfilled are greater than asking for gift cards. I also believe gift cards aren’t allowed. As someone looking to purchase items on a wishlist, if I see gift cards, I just skip that wishlist and move on to the next wishlist. Just give it some thought. I just want to make sure you get your list fullfilled.

  1244. I second what Brandee just said (#3240). There’s no way I would have given as much as I did if it weren’t for Stitchress and Serene and the others who created a master list and worked tirelessly to maintain it (even while caring for their own families). There are over 3200 comments and for someone looking to spread a little love this holiday season, that is daunting and stressful. I sent the original Bloggess link to a friend and she was too overwhelmed to purchase anything. Once it became easier for her to find people’s lists and link back to their family stories, she eagerly bought a bunch of items for several people. I truly believe these volunteer moderators made it possible for hundreds of families to receive gifts they might not have otherwise. So I raise my ice coffee to them and hope they can wind this event down feeling the love. Big hugs to you all.

  1245. This year has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. At the end of the previous year I was laid off from my job, but I was able to quickly find employment again, but now I’m making barely enough to keep my head above water.
    To top it off, I’m a recently single father so I have to go it alone here and my boy is my entire world,

  1247. Oh dear! I’ll make some changes, it’s hard to use restraint when online shopping for her XD

  1248. Allegra, I am in the US so I got the book. And the other two books and jacket for Emily.
    Melissa #2533, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  1249. I have to jump on in tears, and emotionally shocked… all of my list has been granted except my daughters jacket which I will take off and just be endlessly grateful that we had even 1 thing sent to us let alone my whole list. Thank you from the bottom of my being..I can’t even express in words how happy and relieved I am looking toward xmas for my littles and my late sister in laws littles this year. It’s been a crazy year and these babies have been through so much..I am so thankful..All who have given please know that your generosity is astonishing! I wish I could hug all of you. Please keep positive everyone, Merry Xmas!! Love to all <3

    2977/8 If you happen to get on and check, please let me know if I can send you a used book. My family loves DND and would love for your grandkids to have at least 1 for xmas <3

  1250. Allegra, someone beat me to it. The book and the rest of the wishlist has been fulfilled! Yay!
    Happy holidays Txmomathome @2533, Allegra and the kind elf who fulfilled the rest of this list!

  1252. AALL (phone wont let me put name) – I feel awful for asking but please consider my list, I am on the master list at 2414, original comment 224. I have adjusted priority but did not delete anything. Thank you. http://a.co/6JXOChy

  1253. Spencer Lemon, so good to hear! The Master List is down to 73. Also, to reiterate if you prefer to fill lists off of the comments feed, especially recent ones more power to you! I hope at the very least it saves you from digging all the way back through the first 2800 posts. That legwork is done. Nothing is stopping people from continuing to post or buy whatever they so chose. Here is the Master List though for information, I’ll sweep through it again for notes and completion in a bit:

  1254. J’s mom 2187, not sure if you know but your books are back ordered for 1-3 months which is probably why they haven’t been purchased, and the toy is an add-on item, so it doesn’t qualify to ship with the books. You may change these if you like, they are each under $5 folks, they just can’t ship yet…

  1255. Allegra & Brandee, thank you so much for your kindness. I’m actually shaking as I type this. I sat down to lunch content with knowing many people had been helped through this project, and logged back on to see my entire list was fulfilled. May you be blessed for your generosity. Thank you for meeting needs and spreading Christmas cheer!

  1256. Back atcha’, Allegra! 🙂
    So glad your list was filled, Stitchress! Yea!
    Anon #3252, 2414, four items should arrive Tuesday. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  1258. Donna 1840, car seat cover is on the way, but as I haven’t got US Prime membership, it won’t be there by Christmas unfortunately, estimated delivery date is 26 to 31st December. x

  1259. Serine23, I watched you last year, and again this year, as you helped organize the lists. No one asked you to, you just stepped up and volunteered many, many hours to do it. I, for one, truly appreciate the hard work you have put into this. The master list has made it so much easier for those people coming in late to purchase so we have some place to look, instead of trying to read through the thousands of comments ourselves. You rock! Don’t let the negativity get to you. Have a Merry Christmas!

  1260. Stitchress or serine23 please see if my list meets it now I found all prime items and everything will deliver by the 26th which works because I get them the 26th thru the 2nd then they go back to their dad’s for the next week. I have it to where they both get. Gifts masons is total 34.28, karsons is 43.27 but I did find reginer a monitor at 27.99 in hopes that can allow karson to be slightly over and his winter boots. I despritely hope you can allow me on the list because with disability and in the hospital with a blood clot I need this prayer answered. My mom bought me their stocking and a few small stuffers with a chocolate santa. Findlay ohio

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

  1261. Juleah, 1659 your son’s coat is out of stock. I know your unfilled list needs a backpack… maybe you can replace the coat?

  1262. Hi I’m Khrysta!

    So grateful for this community and generosity. I have 3 boys, 17, 11, and 9. Toys for Tots and Santa Claus Girls will not gift 17 year olds, so I’m worried about how that will affect my teen, that his brothers have a few things under the tree and he has 1 thing (thank you to the person who bought the book for him!). Please help him out. He’s a very good person and so I know he won’t complain. We’re in Grand Rapids, MI, which is very cold in the winter. His bedroom is the coldest in the house and so I chose his gift to be a space heater. I know that’s not the most fun, but he will absolutely appreciate it. He loves going to the movies too, so if you’d rather send an AMC gift card, that’s awesome.
    Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3L41JY69V8WLS?&sort=default

  1263. Elle 1676, I posted on the list but maybe you can label you items, you don’t have to put names if you aren’t comfortable, but ages… I don’t know it might help?

  1264. List 2431 is fulfilled – the items will arrive on 12/19. I hope your kiddo stays warm this winter!
    List 2547 – I tried to fulfill your list, but the lava lamp is out of stock. I did send the remote control car. 🙂

    Stitchress – I’m so glad your list was granted! Could you please re-add the coat, so that I can have it sent to you? I really wanted to do something nice for both you and Serine23, as a gesture of gratitude for all of your hard work moderating this and updating the Master at all hours. Please leave the link to your list in a comment, or feel free to e-mail it to me. kristensmith dot 417 at gmail dot com. <3

  1268. @Anonymous #3243, I did look for work boots on Amazon, and all that meet my husband’s Flintstone feet needs and work uniform requirements were well over $100! We can get work boots cheaper at Big 5 with a coupon, and on sale. That’s why I added the gift certificates. I’ll look again, but I doubt anything’s changed in the last two days.

  1269. I’m 2457, thank you for getting the remote control car. It’s my first time using amazon and I don’t know what I’m doing but I put back a game instead of lava lamp this was my first wishes I don’t know what skmw of the messages means by second lists and a master. I am thankful for the car for my boy god bless you.

  1270. I edited two items to highest priority, just because my daughter got picked which is amazing, I’m forever grateful, my little sister who lives with me and my son haven’t been picked yet, my baby is only 10 months so she won’t know any difference if she gets picked or not.
    If they don’t get picked, thank you so much to whoever purchased my daughters item. I think it would be something they all could enjoy.
    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/16NHEZ7LK2UNE

  1271. Also I don’t have no internet so I can’t look at messages but once every so much when I go across to my neighbors house. I looked thew but didn’t see any more for me so sorry if I have missed any. Merry Christmas everyone.

  1272. Kristen Smith thank you so very much! I am crying here. We actually came hiking (and cleaning up trash on a local trail) and even with all of his coats and things he’s still cold. I appreciate you more than you will ever know!

  1273. Nette – I sent the Monopoly game! I don’t know what Fortnite is, but I hear it’s all the rage these days! I hope your kiddos enjoy their gifts. <3 Merry Christmas!

    Hope5 – I get cold easily, too, so a good set of long johns, insulated overalls, and a cute hat are a perfect gift for me to send someone. 🙂 Merry Christmas!

    Mods – Lists 2547 and 2431 are fulfilled and can be removed from the Master.

  1274. Khrysta, the space heater for your son should arrive on Tuesday. Stay warm and merry Christmas!

  1277. Taka Long (#1495 on Master): the 5 items for your kiddos are on their way to you! Everything should arrive on 12/18, except for the Leap Frog Remote, which is scheduled to arrive on 12/21. Merry Christmas! <3 <3

    Serine – 1495 is now fulfilled & can be taken off Master.

  1278. Hi, I am OP 2237 I have 3 children, 2 boys, and 1 daughter. Both boys were gifted what they would love the most, my daughter has one item unpurchased but she is 17. I have not added any extra needs despite we could use them. I am grateful to have anything coming my way period, all the work Serine and Stitchress along with the rest of the moderators I feel need to have a huge round of applause. I am in central time and have seen all of their comments continuing on non-stop during hours many are asleep. I am really sad to see all this negative tone regarding the list and in general. This is not what this is about or for, no one has to do this for anyone at all. I am also sad to hear people have taken advantage of this project by making several lists under accounts and/or using the Reddit gifting subs which there are 2 I believe available. I just cannot believe or understand all this negativity and honestly, I would think those who are having this tone in any way should think that if they are in actual need they would refrain as who knows if this will happen again next year? If you have read Jens posts, this being the 9th year she always states her thinking it would be the last one. It would be a shame for that to happen when people like myself who are in dire help but am grateful at the same time for this not be available another year. There is absolutely no good reason to be rude to anyone here at all, we are all adults either wanting to help or need help. I hate to say all this but I am really upset to see this all happening, especially with lists getting filled entirely by kind people who do not have to do this at all. I have seen so much negative toned comments and one person in particular over and over. I have a special needs child as well but please do not use your child as a reason to be more deserving than any other child. EVERY child is special and deserves a gift. Sorry if I upset anyone but honestly I think someone else needs to speak up as an adult and focus attention on all the good being done here. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and so many hugs and love to you givers and moderators taking this on <3 Please be kind to one another.

  1281. #2250, one of the items, a watch I think, is no longer available is there another alternative? I’d hate to leave a kiddo out.

  1283. Serine – sent you a FB message. 🙂

    Have to go do some work, but I’ll check back on this later. Serine & Stitchress, please let me know how I can help! Happy to take a shift tonight or tomorrow with the Master. I’m off work tomorrow, so I can stay up late if need be, and will be around for most of tomorrow.

    <3 <3

  1284. I just wanted to come back again and say thank you to all the hard working people who are keeping the master list up to date and trying to keep things running smoothly. You are the true angels here making it easier for gifters and receivers alike.

    I am 2248 on the master list and still marked as unfulfilled for my 2 daughters, but my youngest has had a toy and her need fulfilled as well as a gift for my 12 year old as well. I am still holding on to hope that the need for my 12 year old will be filled, but even if it isn’t they both still have something coming and for that I am extremely grateful to all of you.

    We all have what is our biggest need as human beings, a roof over our heads, food in our bellies and each other to spend the holiday with. We have our health for the most part, and a sad story that isn’t so sad as my wife is def on the mend from her wreck.

    I can’t wait to see what the next year brings for us and everyone else. My wife and I have already discussed starting a new line in our budget so that next year we can be on the opposite side of things and be able to give, rather than ask for help on here.

    Merry Christmas Y’all, you’re the best!

  1285. Allegra
    Thank you soooo much I am in tears merry Christmas I needed this so bad for my baby. Merry Christmas and happy New Years

  1286. Jason #2248,

    I tried to send the 3 toys on your list, but there are issues with ship dates for 2 of them. The Minecraft toy isn’t Prime eligible, so it’s not guaranteed that it will arrive before 12/25, and the earliest delivery date for the Melissa & Doug toy is 12/27.

    I did send the nail art pen. I’m sorry that the other items were problematic! Merry Christmas 🙂

  1287. @Anonymous #3243, I checked Amazon again, and the cheapest work boots I found that fit all the needed requirements are one pair of Skechers for $56.47, and another pair of Caterpillar Men’s Second Shift Work Boots for $73.23. My husband wears a 9.5 wide shoe, can’t have heavy boots due to the knee surgery he had this past February, and needs ones with good soles because he works in pest control and it’s the 8th level of hell hot during the summer here, and very few people have grass in their yards; it’s all rocks and “desert landscaping.” The soles of cheap shoes literally melt, then crack, when worn for long periods of time in thnsummet sun out there. Ugh.

  1290. I am Sandra .I am from the panhandle of florida. I have custody of my two grandkids Shy 8 year old boy and Mi’kiah. Are home was damanged do to the store and I am disable. I would like to see if there is anyone out there that possible help me give my grandkids a little Christmas. It would be very great full and would sure make my grandkids and my Christmas. Here is there list I picked out for them and thanks in advance.
    http://a.co/dbebsOP

  1291. Kristen thank you so much, Serenity is going to love it! She is just starting to experiment with doing her hair, makeup and nails as she enters the teens.

    Thank you for letting me know about the mine craft toy, I only put that on there after someone else said the Melissa and Doug toy wouldn’t even ship to my address….Im afraid to delete them because of the rules but did put them as lowest priority.

    I added in a different mine craft plushie that says it would make it before Christmas and its a lot cheaper I don’t know why I didn’t see that one before.

    If anyone could fill Serenitys ‘need’ item our list would be fulfilled.

    Much love to everyone 🙂

  1293. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ZIWWBVCWR50E

    Care N Share just gave my son a lot of winter clothes, with that being said I took everything off my list except for some candy. It’s not a necessity, but it’s for their stockings. Only $11.95. I put 2 as the quanity because there are 2 kids, but 1 will work because I think I may be able to split it between them. Thanks everyone who has bought for my children. Everything is greatly appreciated! Can’t wait to see some happy faces on Christmas morning.

  1294. @Anonymous #3243, Serine23 & Stitchress,

    I’ve removed the gift cards and added the $56.47 work boots for my husband. Hopefully this will allow my list to be added to the Master List and not be seen as asking too much. They truly are desperately needed. I’ll gladly send photos of his current boots to anyone who asks. You’ll be shocked at how he’s even been able to work in them the last 4 months. I am.

    List link is http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1HBM5U5GHWJ6R

  1295. Serine23, the book must have been bought while I was posting! Thanks for everything again and I’m sorry I posted again. Original post 869.
    Merry Christmas to everyone and God bless for your generosity!

  1296. I’m sobbing happy tears because an angel has helped make it so my 3 kiddos can have a Christmas. I’m so thankful and humbled right now. Thank you. I tried to go back into the comments, but couldn’t figure out this angel(s) among us. Thank you for the chewies for my special needs son, the dress up trunk for my princess, and the LED lights for my tween. We are usually in the position to help others, but this year has been horrendous for us. I am truly humbled and amazed by community right now. Thank you! Maureen

  1297. I am #1941 on the master list and a bunch of stuff went off sale so I have updated it to stuff from $7.50 up to $15 not including the Shirt and Pants which are both $22.

  1298. I am not sure what has happened but my kids list is still not on the master list, is there something wrong with my list? I made sure everything was prime as asked and everything is under the limit for each kid and I made sure there is a shipping address connected. Help?

  1299. Hi Kari (2007)
    You have something on it’s way for your family to enjoy!
    Best wishes.

  1300. Hi, this is 3116! Thank you to whomever bought the clothing items and books for my children. I’m so grateful!! Happy holidays!

  1301. I Need Spoons, the work boots, gloves (for you, I think is the pair I chose), and hoodie (for you) should arrive Dec. 19th, the Niacinamide on the 18th(the other supplements weren’t available, btw). Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  1303. 2169 here with a question. I have 2 items for each of my turd buckets on the list for about $20 and $15. Would it be better to try to find cheaper items vs these more expensive? I know I came in late to the event on Friday morning and it may not get to me which is completely fine but from a donators point of view do you look for cheaper things? I’m sure if I scroll long enough I can definitely find cheaper for the baby.

  1304. I posted earlier (3112) today in the middle of the tirade of negative comments from Anonymous and I fear it got over looked. So I wanted to just post again and give it one more try.

    I know I have read that you are not adding any more to the master list but I figured it was worth a try. My neighbors came home today to discover that someone had broken into their house and pretty much cleaned them out including the presents they had already bought. My sister was kind enough to receive help from some “elves on here” this week and let me know about the amazing things being done here. They have 4 kids and a furrbaby. I paid to have their front door fixed and lock replaced but have no extra funds to replace any Christmas gifts. I put 1 present per kid on the list, each one well under the $35 limit per kid. I just want them to have something to open on Christmas especially after going through this the week before Christmas. Any help would be appreciated for them.

  1305. Serine, Stitchress, and all the elves – I gave wayyy more this year because of you. The master list helped with the overwhelm of it all comments-wise and links-wise, while also clearly showing how many people need some loving help 🙁
    Thank you so much for your kindness and work <3

  1308. Yes I agree with J.
    The master list made it so much easier for me too! I was overwhelmed with the number of comments then I came upon the master list in one of Serine’s comments and I was so relieved. Thank you everyone for working so hard to get everyone’s wishes fulfilled.
    Happy holidays!

  1309. I think I waited too long to ask for help 🙁

    Seeing everyone helping and being helped is such a heartwarming experience. I’m so glad one of my children was gifted a bottle and I’ll just try to figure out the rest. Thank you for the opportunity to ask for help.

    Bless you all.

  1310. Hello I am comment #1782. Just wanted to know if the master list is closed. I am reposted as I may have gotten lost in the shuffle. I have 4 beautiful children (12, 5, 5, and 2) and We arefrom Wisconsin. Just looking for help with blessing my children with some gifts this year. Thank you in advance. 😊

    Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1W9ALFRH1FTAP

  1311. Serine23! Thanks for the beanie for my iiddo. He’s been asking for one for too long! His twin is tired of hearing it lol

  1313. I am ashamed to be back asking for assistance after my grandchildren’s list was miraculously filled the very first day. I am on social security and before I turned 62 I was on SS disability for mental health issues and due to extremely heavy expenses in October I have zero dollars. My two dogs, my beloved companions that saved my life fifteen years ago were very sick and they devastatingly didn’t make it. The vet bills were very expensive.
    So…
    You guys stepped in and saved Christmas for the kids. This morning I even deleted my list. This afternoon my glasses broke. I never needed glasses before going on disability and SS doesn’t cover eyeglasses so I have been making do with these.
    I don’t want to take away from even one child needing a toy or a coat. That comes first.

    If anyone has anything extra I can’t see to read and reading is basically my life.

  1314. Good evening! Someone was gracious enough to grant the wishlist for my son early on (2196). I came back on Friday and posted additional items for my wife and I. If someone could please consider purchasing the one men’s coat I have listed or the slippers that would be a blessing. Any help would be very much appreciated. I tried to find the lowest priced options in our sizes. Thank you!

  1315. The glasses are due to arrive on the 24th Barbara. Not being able to read is oneof my worst nightmares. xx

  1317. Sabrina @3315, The limit is $35 per child. Make sure you adjust your list. You have a better chance of having your list fulfilled if you stick to the rules. Happy holidays!

  1318. Donna, 1840. I’m so glad someone got that car seat cover you wanted and things for your five year old. I took your list off the master. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

  1321. Dawn McDonald (Post 2253), folks have tried to send you things and have posted that you are missing an address. I’m taking you off the master list. Let me know if you change that. Thanks!

  1323. @Sam #2196–got you the hookup yo. Just a warning though that Amazon says the jacket might not arrive until after Xmas. I hope you can stay warm. I’m right next door in Virginia. Here’s hoping the weather stays above 40º for you.

  1325. Hi I’m Torrance, I have a few things on my second list that are necessities. I was wrongfully accused earlier if being someone that lived in a completely different state as me and am being overlooked as a result. If anyone can help me complete my list it would be greatly appreciated and to the person who said I was doing something I shouldn’t please next time research before doing so. Lots of people have the same last name and mine is very common.
    I’m posting a second list under the same name as everyone else has.Thank you and Merry Christmas

  1326. Sitichress or serine 23 since mine finally meets and I posted originally the 10th are you still adding to the list if so my corrected link is post 3260. Thanks and hopefully I’m home for Christmas and not still stuck in the hospital with this blood clot and pliers. Happy holidays to everyone here.

  1327. Only 67 lists on the Master List!

  1328. @Brandee THANK YOU!! I’M CRYING! The work boots for my husband were so desperately needed! I’ll have to go look at the supplements. They were available when I added them to my list. Grr. Thank you so much! I can’t think of any other words to express my gratitude! You’re a beautiful soul. All the people granting wish lists are, obviously! Jenny being the Queen. Or priestess? Something. She’s the one who marshalled the troops. lol

  1329. Sabrina Moore 3322, please read the original rules about Prime, as well as limits. You are welcome to post to the board, and people are welcome to give to you, but we’re trying to wrap up the master list, as the event started a week ago. Thanks!

  1331. stina, I can’t thank you enough! We have struggled so much and I work my tail off to cover food/shelter and all my spouses medical bills and these were things I just couldn’t get but needed really bad. I can’t put it into the right words but just THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  1333. #1941 hasn’t had anything purchased yet either Serine23. On the master list it says 7 items but now it’s up to 8 because I had to get rid of stuff that went up in price. There were colored pencils that went from 12$ up to 18$, a necklace that went from 10$ to 16$, a coloring book that went from 7$ to 13$ some essential oils that went from 7$ to 18$ etc

  1334. @Torrance, it looks like your list has been fulfilled! Breathe, mama! You weren’t overlooked!

  1335. Thank you so much for those who have sent for my kiddos- All but Brookes coat and Bryces blocks have come. All we have left. on my list is 2 pairs of boots for my 2 oldest. Thank you all so so much. The boots are waterproof and big enough to put warm socks on.

  1336. Hello #2237 here, I had gone to add 2 always needed items for my little guy who will be turning 4 on the 19th this month. He is still in diapers and was finally given the diagnosis of Level 3 asd with developmental delays compared to the average 6-month-old child. While I went to view the list to comment these items were a need, I noticed something wonderful! Angels had purchased a couple gifts from my children’s wishlist!!! <3 Leaving only 1 item left and it will be filled completely. I am on the master list and I would like to know if it can be edited to show only 1 item left which is the axe body spray and needs only. It has 6 items in the comments as of now and I really do not want givers to waste their time looking at my list over others when only 1 original item is not filled. I would even be fine to be moved further down the list due to only having one item left on the list and a hope for the needed 2. I have been tremendously blessed by the love of random kindness when I thought my children would not have anything this year. A huge hug and thank you to all of those who have helped take the time and helped make my children have something to have this year, you are all truly amazing and wonderful people. Thank you is not enough to express the gratitude I have for what you have done already for my family. I hope you truly know you have made this momma so happy and forever grateful for your kindness.

    Because I have written so much moderators thank you for all your hard work here and please read above regarding the comment for my list #2237 only 1 original item is left and I added diapers and wipes as needed items before seeing the body spray was left. I am not sure if it would complicate by moving me down since I have only 1 item left and just added the 2 needs. If anything can you please adjust the comment to just 1 item as the other 5 have been taken care of by angels. I would not have added more for the “need” I noticed the miracle when I commented that they were a need only item. Thank you again, everyone here and thank you for making so many families have a Christmas they thought may not happen. Patience is a virtue literally, I came to post just yesterday morning and look what has happened! I know how scary it can be to think your child or children will not have a gift, I honestly feel the work of the moderators have made this much easier for lists to be filled or have a child gifted at least one item. So much love to you moderators for doing all of this, I love you all and I wish everyone a happy holiday and best wishes in the new year <3

  1337. @Tom #3112, the list for your neighbors has been fulfilled! Hopefully they have some kind of insurance that will reimburse them for everything. I hate thieves, but I especially hate those soulless bastards that steal a child’s Christmas — or birthday wheelchair, bicycle,etc. Those fuckers needs to burn in the deepest pits of hell!

  1338. FYI #2237
    In my state and most others based on what I have read on my special needs FB groups – once a child is 3 and not out a diapers with a diagnosis you can get diapers covered through your insurance. Call J&B medical supply company and they will handle everything for you with doctors and insurance. Diapers are mailed each month. Just need to provide wipes which helps us special needs families alot.

    Our finances are stretched to the max just keeping up with 23 hours of therapy a week for my Cerebral Palsy 2 year old. At 3 I will definitely call J&B (1-800-737-0045).

    I wish I could help you out with your needs today but hopefully in a month or so you will be all set for diapers at least. I’m still hoping for some help myself with socks for my son and underwear for my daughter.

    But our Cerebral Palsy Warrior is worth all the time and money! #evanstrongereveryday

  1339. @Brandee, the oleamide powder is out of stock (grr), but the Melatonin isn’t. The thing it doesn’t show until you go to put it into your cart, is that you have to buy a minimum quantity (3). Double Grrr. Sorry. That didn’t show when I added them to the list. I went off the instructions for the sleep formula, and these were the Amazon links provided.

    Thank you again for your generosity towards my family! I’m sending you a virtual bear hug right now!

    Also, to whoever purchased the jacket for my husband, you’re awesome, too! Thank you!

    The tears are flowing! Happy, relieved, grateful tears!

  1341. Hello
    I post a while back and someone stated that the coats for my kids weren’t available. Therefore I went back in and just requested different and cheaper coats, I hope this helps. Thank to anyone considering helping my 3 kiddos. They are amazing and its no fault of theirs that mom simply can’t get them gifts for Christmas. Please delete old post #1869

  1343. I know this is a long shot but I wanted to try.

    Several days ago some kind souls gifted my daughters some coloring books. That was all I asked for, as it was something they could do together.

    Now, I’ve added some books to the list. Just some novels, inspirational and fiction. A cheap set of bookmarks. Both of my girls love reading and I love to foster that passion.

    If I’m too late or if nobody would like to help, that’s okay. You’ve done wonders for my spirit thus far, and even if the giving has reached its limit I will be so grateful for the coloring books.

  1344. Thank you stitchress. I also notice that the tricycle is no longer available so I found another one and added it to the list. I deleted that first one.

  1346. Ack, Lasha, I see you accidentally deleted your list… what you meant was the list. The list number is different now, but the items are corrected. Got it. Thanks. Also thank you for labeling and prioritizing.

  1347. My original post is number 990 and I’m sorry that I had forgotten to post a link to my Amazon wishlist. I reposted and was post 1000.
    I’m a single mom of two children in Bozeman Montana struggling this time of year I would like to gove them have a special Christmas please help. My youngest child is eight and she he’s in third grade my other child is 18 and finishing High School.

    Please let me know if there’s anything else you need I think I followed the rules correctly. And once again I was supposed number 990 and number 1000 I think I got lost somewhere lol merry Christmas

  1348. Thank you soo much to whomever filled my list, it must have just came up. Now I can have warm toes taking kids to school and throw away my work out flip flops.lol God bless you.

  1349. Hi again Serine/Stitchress, I am not sure what happened vut I was on the master list at one point. However my kids’ list hasn’t been filled at all and I think it may have been deleted from the master list? I see things are kind of winding down and I am still hoping for a blessing. Here is my link again, I would really appreciate any help. Thanks and God bless!

  1350. Serine23 Just looking through the lists and quite a few have been fulfilled! Yay!!!! 1428,1629,1646,1676,2026

  1351. 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄THANK YOU! I don’t see a comment of who cleared our clothing wishes but THANK YOU! Everyone will be warm and dry walking to school in the morning ! ❤

  1352. Well here come the ugly tears! Whoever you are, thank you so much! These boys are going to be so excited and I can’t wait to see their little faces on Christmas morning! I so wish there was a way to share pictures on here afterwards to let you all see the joy you’re bringing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! List 2169 is filled and this momma is doing the happy dance! You can remove me from the list! Thank you again my Christmas angel!

  1353. I’m comment #2050. I checked my list today & noticed one was no longer Prime eligible. I put a note with that stating it & added a different onesie set for my 1 year old instead.

    Thank you all so much. Your generosity melts my heart.

  1354. Serine
    Looking through the unfulfilled wishlists you mentioned in a previous comment to see how I could help and I noticed the following have been completed:
    1576
    1676
    1449
    2026
    2169
    2232
    2811
    2977
    I’ll keep looking at other list to see how I can help finishing those.
    Thank you for all the amazing work!

  1355. @2977 & @2811 Both of your lists have been removed!! Merry Xmas Your wishes are granted I hope both of you have an amazing holiday <3
    You guys have cut this list down to 60 or less lists!! It is amazing to see this community pulling together like this <3

  1358. Allegra. I can’t thank you enough. I can’t even imagine being a non-reader. Thank you for understanding and for your generosity.

  1359. The sanitary pads and oatmeal arrived thank you again and I’m sorry again for messing up my need list that’s why I just removed myself. it is so great to see such caring people in the world. One good note the tow company is waving half the fees I might get to hold a few dollars of my paycheck

  1361. 2788 fulfilled! It looks like it’s not fulfilled because the filter is set up to show both purchased and I purchased items.

  1362. Originally comment 2811, I can not put into words how thankful I am. My list has been fulfilled! I know I came in a little late and was lucky to make the master list at all. I can’t express what this means to my family. Happiest of holidays to every single person in this community. I hope to be on the giving end of this wonderful service next year. Gob bless you all. Big hugs from Oregon!

  1363. OMG!! I’m so joyed I just noticed my list was fulfilled for my kiddos thank you angels for everything it means a lot I don’t have to stress so much now. One day when I’m able to I’m gonna pay it forward 🎄🎁💕😁

  1364. I’m 1449 on the master list and it has been fulfilled. Thank you so much for the person/people who have blessed my 4 children. They will be so excited that Santa got them great gifts 😊. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁

  1365. Thank you Anon! I removed those lists! (I think Stitchress beat me to a couple) This puts us at 54. Yes, that’s right, 54 lists left on the Master List. If you are late in the game or coming back to repost, the Master List is the earlier lists, all the way up to almost comment 3000. You are more than welcome to visit the comments board and fill newer lists (some wonderful folks have done that) but we are wrapping up the master list and entering the “Thank You” phase. Thank you all so, so much! Let’s knock this list out and show Jenny that we are the badasses she believes us to be! Also, to make you feel even more amazing, when the master lister started there were over 350 Lists. I wish I’d written the exact number down. But I feel like doing a little dance!

    Master List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing

    p.s. Stitchress, perhaps you can track me down on Facebook so we can work together next year. I could not have done this without your tireless help!

  1366. Hi- all we have are 2 pairs of waterproof boots left. I saw Bryces boots had gone up to 50$ (!!!) So i deleted and replaced with ones that are less than half.
    I have been all over to thrift stores and haven’t found any for their sizes. I got the little kids but the bigger sizes seem to mission impossible. I asked school counselors and they only had summer shoes in their sizes.
    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3BZUELKB1UYIY

  1368. I’m not sure if I’m able to do this I added coats and boots to my list. My original comment was #1284. If I wasn’t suppose to add more then please delete my comment
    Like I said I added some winter stuff. I would also like to say thank you to Jenny and all the angels out there doing what they do to help. God bless yall, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yall are amazing 💗💗💗
    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2RVVU1OI1E0F5

  1370. Just 2 things left on my list (4 really, but one is out of stock and the other won’t arrive before Christmas…everything is noted) if there are any elves left to take care of Serenitys want and Trinitys need!

  1372. I would also like to say something to anyone willing to listen and who hasn’t grown tired of my voice: I have been delighted to serve this community, and I do hope it has been a service, even if I may have ruffled a few feathers along the way. I would like to say, that I NEVER posted a list this year, and I won’t because that seems a conflict of interest. Though someone extended me kindness on a bleak moderating day, that lifted my heart for days and to be acknowledged kept me going and helping. But I would like to say that if you wish to “gift” me please do so by buying a kiddo a coat, book, or something someone needs for under their tree from off of James Garfield. I ran out of money to keep buying (wait, I said that and kept buying anyway!), but I’ll keep moderating, and it would mean the world to me to know one more kid will still be warm or cared for. I have the insane urge to wrap up this list as complete with a pretty bow on it and give it to Jenny as well!

  1373. Elizabeth / 1941, the beading book is on it’s way!
    Also note that the colored pencils you chose aren’t on prime but there are others that are if you want to change them out

  1375. Mary J in Portland, OR, jammies for your youngens are headed your way and will be there by Christmas Eve! The ones for your daughter were not available but I hope you don’t mind that I picked out a different set.
    Merry Christmas!

  1376. I have been holding off reposting until my sister’s list was filled. She is so deserving and she is the one who introduced me to the Bloggess with her first book all those years ago. She even took me to a signing where I had Jenny sign a metal chicken 🙂 My list is on the Master as #2164, original post was #83 on day one. I saw a note on the master list asking if it had changed. Nope. If you check the dates, the purchased items were added the first day and the needs were added Friday per the rules. 🙂 Thank you all for doing all that you do. Merry Christmas!

    http://a.co/gb93foA

  1377. Thank you serine and stitchress for doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Thank you to all the angels they gave to not only me and my family but all the others. Raising special needs children is hard and when I sat there today and looked at all the packages that arrived knowing that everyone would have two things to open instead of nothing brought me to tears. I am praying for the ones filled with negativity because I believe it comes from a place of fear and panic as most of us have this time of year. My wish is that hopefully everyone gets grounded and everyone has a merry Christmas and every child has a gift open and Jenny the blog ass thank you for once again making this miracle happen

  1378. More fulfilled lists! So happy!
    1869
    2237 there’s a pair of shoes left but comment says it’s no longer needed.
    2928
    2168

    Unfullfilled but trying to complete:
    2800, one T-shirt left but no longer available in the size requested, pick another T-shirt?
    2187, books cannot be shipped for 1-3 months, pick another book?
    2096, two toys out of stock, can you pick something else?
    2050, one outfit left but no longer on prime. Would like to help out but can you get something that’s on prime?

  1379. Hello original post #1934 I just saw that the blankets that I had where not prime anymore so I change them to the ones that are prime …. thank you so much

  1380. 2800 I believe you were the one that said the other items besides the shirt mattered more when it went out of stock, I’m 95% sure on this. Plus limits have been met and another shirt was purchased. Let’s call it complete!

  1382. 1499 is complete except for out of stock shoes. Tried to contact her. We’re going to call it filled as everyone was very generous to this family! All other needs met!

  1383. 1504, still no shipping address after several requests on the master list and board. I’m deleting for now, but feel free to come back to the board. Merry Christmas!

  1384. #3373 Thank you so much! I had JUST exchanged one set of colored pencils that went up in price with those ones and now they went out of stock I have such horrible luck. I will put the old set of colored pencils that went up in price back on the list until I find some cheaper ones. Thanks again for notifying me.

  1387. List 2007, everything just met, except one toy that went out of stock. All children gifted beautifully! I’m deleting from the list! Whoosh!

  1392. @serine23 hello original post #1934 so I’m a little confused I’m on the masters list and I saw that it said that the blankets that I had where not prime anymore … so I made the changes…and now it says that I only have 4 items left on my list but I don’t see that any of them have been purchased … or probably I just don’t know how to check it … can you please help sorry to add more to your plate

  1394. YOU GUYS!!! MY ENTIRE LIST HAS BEEN FULFILLED, EXCEPT THE TWO SLEEP SUPPLEMENTS THAT ARE OUT OF STOCK!! I’M COMPLETELY FLOORED!

    THANK YOU!! Grateful doesn’t even begin to express how this makes me feel!! Holy shit doesn’t even work! You people, you angels, Santa’s Elves, beautiful, generous beings…my eyes are burning from the happiest of tears!

    Last week was a serious volcano of shit. I didn’t think it would get any better. Then, about 4 hours ago, one of my molars broke in half, and I was sure this week was going to be even worse than the last! But, no. It’s going to be good! No matter what else happens, it’s going to be a good week because of all of you!

    And a very special thanks to Serine23, Stitchress, and all other Anons who helped get and keep everything in order! A couple of years back, one Christmas I didn’t need help, I suggested to Jenny that a Google doc was the way to go, and that she needed threaded comments on her blog to help people get the replies to the ones who needed them. It’s more than clear that doc/spreadsheet is the best way to keep things organized for this Miracle.

    Also, we need to say a big round of “that took a lot of courage” to those who asked for help. It’s not easy to do, and it can be so demoralizing, but you did what you needed to do for your families! You are not less than because you’re poor — something I personally have a hard time believing myself — you are warriors for your babies! You’re not weak. Sometimes life deals us a seriously shitty set of cards. It sucks, but we will survive!

    All hail James Garfield and Jenny Lawson for creating the Christmas Miracle, and all hail the volunteer mods who worked so very hard because they wanted to make sure families and kids got something for Christmas and other necessities!

    The merriest of Christmases to all!

  1396. Martha #2073 on master list, the coat and Scrabble should arrive 19th and 20th, the journal stencil set is showing Dec. 26th. Merry Christmas!
    Serine, this order is in honor of you. 🙂

  1400. @Brandee, would you mind terribly if I don’t wrap the work boots up for my husband and just give them to him the day they come in?

  1401. #3395 Oh my god thank you so much! You should have gave me some time to find some other colored pencils. I was searching and only found some erasable ones but she wouldn’t want those, found one that was an add-on item and didn’t want force people to buy 25$, and some were mini which seems to defeat the purpose of pencils.

  1402. Roxie #3309, two items for A should arrive on the 18th. I think that completes the list except for the add on item. Have a wonderful holiday!

  1404. Jessica #667, the two Lego sets probably won’t arrive until the 27th or 28th, sorry about that. There will be a few other things arriving in time for the 25th though, and someone else was purchasing some things at the same time I was, so hopefully there will be something for each of your kiddos to enjoy!

  1408. @serine23 omg!!!! Thank you so much you guys are amazing may god bless each and everyone of you… merry Xmas!!!!

  1413. So many lists are getting filled, it’s so fun! I’ve had lists open that I planned to buy from once I figured out how much more I could spend, and when I went back to them, three were filled! Wahoo!

  1414. I think I am tapped out for this year but I wanted to say I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I wish every list could be filled, but at the very least, I hope no list is left completely out. Someone was out there filling lists this evening, maybe many someones, I don’t know, but I clicked on several that were emptied out. To those elves, you rock so hard! May your holiday be as awesome as you clearly are.
    Love and thanks to Serine, Stitchress, and the other mods who made it possible for me to do more than I would’ve been able without the list.
    And of course, much love to Jenny. I look forward to this every year. It’s my present to me, really.
    To everyone here, I hope you have a peaceful, joyous holiday.

  1415. Brandee! We’ll miss you! Thank you so much for your kindness, encouragement and generosity! Come back to read the comments of gratitude, they are so special! Hugs to you!

  1416. Brandee, thank you so much for this wonderful gift. My children will be so excited. Also I feel very honored that my gifts were bought in honor of Serine. Serine you are amazing!

  1417. Thank you so much for whoever bought our boots and diapers. ❤ They will be well loved and used daily! ❤

  1418. Elizabeth #1941- Diffuser necklace should arrive on the 18th, essential oils set should arrive on the 24th. Hope you and your daughters have a good holiday!

  1421. J’s Mom – 2187, we’ve been trying to reach you, your books are out of stock for 1-3 months, but other gifts have been sent. I’m going to take you off the master. If I’ve made an error, let me know. Otherwise, a very Merry Christmas to you and your baby!

  1422. Vanessa, 2317, been trying to reach you, everything filled except a coat and pjs that are out of stock. I’m taking you off the master for now. If I’ve made an error, please let me know!

  1425. Bailey Clarke post 2319. The sand and the dvd’s Are on the way. The sand and season two will be to you between Dec 19-21. The third season is going to be late but amazon can’t tell me how late.

    Isabelle post 1627 the only thing that was still available on your list was the Polly Pocket and it’s on it’s way. Delivery date Dec 24(eeek) I really hope it gets to you in time

    Heya Stitchress/Serine/angel moderators, I filled what I could on the last Canadians I could find on the list. Masterlist line 30 post 2319 is fulfilled and line 13 post 1627 I sent the Polly Pocket but the other two items aren’t available.

  1427. Geez you’re quick Serine!! Unless somehow two of us were buying for Isabelle at the same time. :oO

  1428. 2096 has one toy available as Prime, can we fill this, and then their family have toys for all the kiddos? The doll went out of stock though.

  1430. Serine 23, I posted a message on here last night. My list is no longer on the master list. I don’t know why. I had one toy purchased, but that is all. I was originally in the 700’s and then #13?? I have a hard time viewing this post on my phone. Would it be possible to add me back to the master list? MEXJO67AMSEY
    Thank you!

  1431. #3418 Thank you very much she’s going to flip out. All she’s ever used essential oils for is in a humidifier or dabbing it on a bracelet she has. She only has 4 different oils right now and is always mixing them together trying to concoct different smells so when she gets 12 more she’s going to love it.

  1432. 2391, your stuff is no longer prime. Tried to reach you/inform you. So glad your first wishes were met. Feel free to comment on the board if I am in error. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  1434. wow! i walked away for the weekend and everything went nuts! my last post was friday 2526. been around since monday. only toddler shoes and teen socks needed.

  1441. 2096 – Javon – tried to reach you through the board and Master List, but your last two items are out of stock. Everything else has been gifted to you! Wishes fulfilled! I’m going to delete you off the master for now as we are wrapping up, but feel free to post to the comment board. Merry Christmas!

  1446. Megan it looks like those are only available thru 3rd party now. Tis the season when Amazon sells out and the third party vendors overcharge, ugh. I found a similar gift pack of Matchbox cars that are in stock tho here: https://www.amazon.com/Matchbox-9-Car-Gift-Pack-Styles/dp/B006UD2RB6/ref=pd_sbs_21_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B006UD2RB6&pd_rd_r=b3d5e3b3-01b8-11e9-9a1f-612069dec60e&pd_rd_w=MyKDP&pd_rd_wg=eoFEh&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=VJ7MVZXKE60XYRR32R1X&psc=1&refRID=VJ7MVZXKE60XYRR32R1X

  1447. Thanks Serine. I thinks someone bought the last prime one, I just added something else I think my other son will like for only $4.99! Thank you. And Merry Christmas!

  1449. Serine …are you saying there’s a way to change the chosen toy to one from a prime seller for them?…

  1450. I’ve been out of pocket but I’m so grateful to see so many people working so hard on this. Serine, you especially are an angel. Check your email for a small token of my gratitude.

    Also, I just bought a toy for list 5, a toy for list 6, hair stuff for list 7, a book for list 9, a toy for number 12, and a coat for 21. I didn’t change the comments on the spreadsheet though because I didn’t want to screw anything up. 🙂

  1451. Janine, I came on to see if I could finish up the Canadian lists, but you beat me to it. Thanks!

  1453.         thebloggess! I did pop over to my email, but nothing there yet. But can I say thank your from the bottom of my heart! I do hope you are pleased and that everyone here has the Merriest of Christmases! Let's knock this out! I'm updating the list and it is shrinking like crazy!

    Master List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KACWzZ5f453UmXQqfgIiYbJ8CdFvwGtx_OB-Z5LEquQ/edit?usp=sharing

    (If it doesn’t pop up by tomorrow let me know. ~ Jenny)

  1460. The comment on 2248’s list says that they replaced that toy with another because of the late shipping and just didn’t delete it because of the rules so it sound like maybe it’s fulfilled! (?)

  1461. ok goodnight all of you lovelies – both those asking and those fulfilling. Best wishes to all of you.

  1462. Just to add to my comment, because I’m Canadian, I can’t see all the prices on Amazon.com. So maybe 2248’s gifts are under the $35 limit. Sorry for butting in if I’m wrong. 😀

  1463. J My Hero! We hit 20 lists on the Master List, but if I don’t zonk, my head might implode! I’ll be back in the morning to sweep the list again! Much love to all and the happiest of holidays to you and yours!

  1465. My link looks different, but it’s the same list. Is it possible to be addedto master list, or no?

  1466. i got laid off my job 2 days ago I have been looking for any kind of side work or under the table jobs to pay to pay my bills and still afford to buy my kids anything for Christmas I know their older so they would understand. I just don’t want to have nothing for them so even one thing would be amazing. I’m applying for any job and even have a ln interview tomorrow. I am praying for a miracle
    I’m a single father of 5 kids I will have my kids the 26th-4 God bless you all and have a very merry and wonderful Christmas thank you for your time. My neighbor just told me about this I hope there is still some elfes out there I will pay it forward as soon as possible

  1468. I wasn’t able to correct in time for the master list but if anyone can take a look at my boys list karson 7 and mason 12 and a friends baby refiner 7 weeks all in Findlay ohio. I despritely hope and pray for a blessing to their list because with disability and in the hospital with a blood clot I need this prayer answered. It has been very hard from surgery losing my eye and getting back up in life. My disability starts in Feb, but until then we were homeless but community action helped place us in an apartment so the holiday is looking up but I’m scared they won’t have but what can be bought from this list as I won’t have any funds after getting moved. I do have a Facebook with my name I’m the only Jennifer with one eye lol. My mom bought me their stocking and a few small stuffers with a chocolate. I still have faith in the good lord he’s brought me from death through stroke and this journey without my eye and disabled I’m aa fighter and my children are my strength. Thank you and God bless you

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

  1470. @CH, the Yu-gi-oh cards aren’t Prime shipping, andcate out of stock. Can you add some that are in stock and Prime?

  1474. Serine23, please let us know if YOUR list got filled! You’ve done so much. Stitchress, also! I might be able to squeeze a few more things out….

  1475. I’m original comment 2181. I had read that my items were purchased and I’m so thankful and I feel so blessed. On my Amazon account it shows only one thing was purched though? I’m not sure if it takes awhile to process or if maybe it just doesn’t update for me. How can I tell?

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/16NHEZ7LK2UNE here’s my link, my it updates for other people to see and not me.

  1476. Mattfarm, Serine23 said she didn’t post a list, and Stitchress said her list got filled. I believe they’ve both gone off for a well deserved rest.

  1478. Thank you! I’m so surprised, that I forgot to thank our Santa!!! Have a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year’s!

  1479. I think we got lost in the shuffle above! My name is T and I want to post our list if that’s ok? It’s me, my 3 daughters and my mom trying to make it. I’m only asking for the kids, who are 8-16. We’d appreciate anything you can help with.

    http://a.co/6L6O7kC

  1480. Hello, I’m originally 855. We are just getting home from a weekend in the hospital with my youngest and I just got on to see there’s another place our lists are supposed to be added? Is there any chance I can still be put on there? I just have 2 things on there for the baby and would be over the moon if he got one. Thanks for the consideration!

  1481. They dont need everything most is suggested items but I have a 15 year old son and 13 year old daughter

  1482. I understand Jenny has a life, but she hasn’t posted too many recent replies in this thread. I do hope a few scammers haven’t ruined this for her and the community. At the end of the day this is more of a validating experience to help others in less fortunate circumstances. Much love.

  1483. I’m not sure if I’m able to do this, I didnt realize that Friday we were able to add so I added coats and boots to my list. My original comment was #1284. If I wasn’t suppose to add more then please delete my comment. I would also like to say thank you to Jenny and all the angels out there doing what they do to help. God bless yall, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yall are amazing

  1484. I am from post 1058. My kids list have not been filled and I do not see it on the master list. Is there a way we can get it on there so maybe my kids list will get filled. I still have hope. And i am thankfull for the few things that has been ordered for them.

  1485. Original post 667.. I only have 2 things left on my wishlist for my 2 oldest, I updated with 2 items lower in price, Thank you all so much to everyone who has bought for my younger kiddos!!
    Original post:
    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!

  1487. Also, for those of you joining us now and wishing to join or re-join the Master List, it is winding down and finishing up. I’m not adding to it anymore, as I’ve been doing this with some help for many days. The bright side being it was more organized and so many wishes got seen! Do not let that dissuade you from commenting (or filling these) on the comment board, or re-joining us next year for this beautiful event! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  1488. I just want to thank the elves that helped my guys. We were 2021 and last night before bed I checked and almost all of our things still hadn’t been gifted, that was ok. I was so happy to be getting the mittens for my little guy that I thought well at least so many others were helped completely and my guy got his much needed mittens. But this morning I check-in one last time as it is winding down and SURPRISE elves have helped to get my kids list finished. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it. For those still waiting don’t give up hope. Some one might still help you. There a great people in this world and hope for humanity is strong. Have a merry Christmas and a great New Year. A great big THANKYOU to the elves and the moderators as well for without your help I don’t think so many peoples list would have gotten help. Love You All.

  1489. Oh my gosh, seeing the amount of love in this thread is truly heartwarming!

    I had honestly figured it was a long shot to post the list of books for my girls but as a mom I had to try 🙂 they won’t know that I tried so they won’t be disappointed and that’s what matters!

    Thank you for everything, Bloggess and family!

  1490. Im on the laster list at 2139, my lists been filled!! Can take me off. Thank you so much!!!!

  1492. I checked again this morning and even though I’m off the master list and someone commented that my list was bought, I only have one thing that says purchased. Hopefully it’s just a glitch. Even if nothing comes I’m still thankful someone thought of us and took the time to help. Merry Christmas.

  1494. Post 2080: the arctic animal book is only estimated to be delivered on 12/24…I hope it makes it, but everything should be there in plenty of time.
    Merry christmas!

  1496. Serine23 I’ve been a busy mama this weekend but when I got online I saw that my list was filled! Thank you so much for the coat for Dom and thank you to all the angels!
    I apologize for the reposting, really really not trying to make this harder on y’all. Should have just been comments.
    There’s so much love here! Thank you Jenny and all the moderators and gifters for all you’re doing for so many families.

  1497. Didn’t mean to make my last post Anonymous…still figuring out how to work this.
    #1122

  1498. Serine, you aren’t adding new lists or any at all? I was 855 but don’t believe I was ever put on

  1499. Dawn 2348-

    I haven’t been able to get back on for a while, and I’m so sorry, but thank you SO SO much for the new undies and book for my 4 year old! She will be tickled pink! I don’t know many kiddos that willingly ask Santa for undies, so it’s awesome that she’ll get her wish. ❤️

    Love and blessings,
    Angie

  1501. We have started getting packages, and when I get one, I kind of hold it for a moment and think of the person that sent it, and the spirit that went into it. I am going to go through and scan the thank you notes inserted with them, I just have not done that yet. Just please know how appreciative we are.

    I also deleted the stocking candy and on the go snacks from our list, because I just didn’t feel right. I couldn’t figure out how to get other things we needed on there without them being ridiculously priced, but we will find a way. It’s this time of year, and the spirit behind the JGXM, that gives hope when there isn’t always hope before.

    Thank you to Jenny, and to everyone that has blessed our family!

    Love and blessings,
    Angie 830/2341

  1502. Thank you for all of your efforts ladies! My list is complete. If you havn’t done so already please remove me from the master list.

    Bless you all for saving Christmas!!!

    I’ll be back later to read thru the posts, off to work for another long shift.

  1505. W.P. Thank you so much!!! You sent both on top of it. I don’t even know what to say other than thank you 1,000,000 times over! Is there a Facebook or Instagram page we can join? I would love to share my children’s excitement with you!

  1508. @Anissa T. #2267

    Thank you so much for sharing that info with me, I also ran across reading on a support group for moms of autistic children that diapers were covered by insurance from someone’s comment there on FB. I hope you get all the help you are needing here fulfilled you are so kind to have bothered to mention help for me when you have a lot going on yourself. I wish I had something to offer you for help as well <3 My little one is going to be 4 in 2 days now!! I have some clothing used of course that may be of some help if you would like, my daughter is now 17 so I don’t have much little girl things left of hers but although money is both tight on both our ends I would like you to have my email so you can if you would like to contact me for your little guy and even your daughter. My little one has a bunch of toys but is so particular on what he will play with maybe I have something I could send to you when I can afford to ship? Whether it is be clothes for your boys, toys maybe some nail polish for your little girl? I wish I could offer more and feel offering this when knowing it is not a known time of when I could ship anything that you could possibly use at all is a shot in the dark but miracles do happen! So much love to you and your little ones, I wish you all a very happy holiday and a brighter new year!! <3 Here is my email- rwebb1009@gmail.com contact me anytime if you would like I would be happy to help in any way I can <3

  1509. post 1869
    Thank you to the Secret Santa that blessed my children Christmas list. You are appreciated and I thank you for your kind heart!!! Is it possible for you to let me know when its been shipped. I do not stay in the best of neighborhood and with all the porch thieves that are emerging. I just want to make sure the gifts are received. Again thank you so much!

  1510. I am also wondering if there is a Facebook page or Instagram account linked to this? I to would love to share my childrens excitement.

  1511. I just want to say A BIG thank Jenny & our Christmas miracle givers. Thank you for blessing my children this Christmas. I am forever greatful.

  1512. Original 1042. If anyone is still giving I have a few things but spoils love to get just the hair straightener for my 9 year old. It keeps going up in price, so I’m even ok with a different one if anyone can.

  1513. @Lasha, call Amazon and ask to speak to someone in the wish List/Registry department. Tell them your issues with delivery. They’ll help you out as best they can.

  1515. <3 This is my HUGE Thank You to the wonderful kind souls who have cleared my list! I am in tears of joy and so grateful to everyone who made this happen! I would love to just squeeze all of you for making Christmas for my kiddos this year and even helping with diapers and wipes! I am beyond words and amazement! I want to also thank you to the moderators and Jenny for having this project this year so much <3 to all of you, your hard work and dedication to helping others for long hours! I wish everyone a very happy holiday and best wishes for the new year! Thank you will never be enough to express how blessed I feel right now but thank you all so very much for all you have done for me and my kiddos this year! I am so happy to see the lists are getting shorter almost by the minute. I love you all xoxoxoxoxo! Oh I was #2237 sorry got caught up in the joy and near shock to see my list has been entirely taken care of!!!

  1516. 3515, misseandomthoughts, I hope your daughter enjoys the perfume. I really wanted her to have something she would like. The boys also needed clothes, and I didn’t want them to be left out. Merry, Merry Christmas!

  1519. 🚨 hoping there’s still time for a miracle here. I’ve posted a link below for my Mom. There is 1 item each for my little sisters and niece. (1 item two of them want so the quantity is set at 2) I just found out she wasn’t chosen to get any Christmas help at our local organization that helps with Christmas items. Thank you so so much to anyone that can help. ❤️

    Wish List

    Link: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2F0LSTBYUA95R

  1522. Omg I wanna Thank The Angel or Angels for purchasing our wistlist(2026)your AMAZING!!! I looked in comments to see if I found who it was to Thank!! Jenny your awesome for doing this to help all of us who really need The help… Serine Thank you. And all thw other Angels!

  1523. I noticed the last few items on my kids’ list were either out of stock or wouldn’t arrive before Christmas, which is probably why they were not selected. I updated the list to replace those with similar items which are available.

    http://a.co/6KUoKHD

    Thanks!

  1524. I’ll be home in a little bit to moderate and help some more. Thanks everyone for Rollins along. For those of you that didn’t get added to the Master List, I can’t research from my phone, but if it met the requirements and you noticed you weren’t on there and said so, we added you. Be sure your mailing address and link are also correct and you are welcome to post to the board. I leave town in two days but will continue to lend a hand!!! Sorry for typos… on phone.

  1525. 667 and 2483 your lists are fulfilled!! only 17 lists yet! you guys are amazing…this last bit of rallying and wish granting is really inspiring <3

  1526. I didn’t want to post again because it was hard enough to ask complete strangers for help. I am so grateful to those that purchased items from our list. This has been a difficult year for our family just like so many others on here.

    I have a few items left on my list, but we desperately need a warm jacket for my daughter. I put a warm fleece on my list for her because she is autistic and has sensory issues and will not wear a winter coat (they are stiff, they make swishy sounds, etc.). She loves to layer soft fleece jackets and this would keep her warm with a lighter hoodie or sweater under it. Due to medical issues she has gained a lot of weight and only has a light hoodie that fits. She leaves the house before her dad and has been taking his fleece company logo jacket which is also a Columbia and nearly identical to this one. That leaves dad going to work without a jacket.

    Shameless list #2230 plug here:
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2ZNYN7XDZS39Y/ref=cm_wl_huc_title

    I am so grateful for Jenny for doing this, all of the volunteers that have kept it going, and the miracle workers that are making life better for those in need. I hope someday to be able to do something like this for others. For now, my family passes down the kids old toys and clothes to other local families in need which makes our Christmas brighter every year.

    Merry Christmas!

  1527. Serine, I don’t think I was on the master list. My original post was 156. The last few toys which were not purchased were either out of stock or unavailable to arrive before Christmas. I updated the list to select similar items (I left the previous ones on the list though because I wanted to show that I was replacing with similar things). I also added a teen coat. Thanks

  1529. Missrandomthoughts thank you! I am glad my info was helpful. The special needs parenting journey is rough but we are the only advocates our kids have. I won’t give up hope on my son gaining mobility and speech, CP is rough but he is amazing.

    We are at 23 hours a week of therapy and based on our visit with developmental pediatrician on Friday now we are on a waiting list for 20 more hours of ABA therapy since he is so delayed and at risk for autism with his genetic deletion (16p.22.1).

    I’m dtellepa@icloud.com

    We are patiently waiting and hoping an angel will help with the modest needs added on Friday but feel very grateful for the blessings of the beyblade for my son, the train for our Cerebral Palsy Warrior, and especially the coat for my daughter.

    We are on the master list at 2267 so all is not lost. The Grinch has wise advice “Christmas does not come from a store, perhaps it is a little more.” I am still amazed at the love of strangers for so many! This was a beautiful experience.

  1530. I’ve got $$ in my pocket to spend, but every list I’ve clicked on is already fulfilled. Which is awesome for y’all but doesn’t solve my “wanting to spend $$” issue. LOL If your list is still open, hit me up. My budget can float 3 kids at the full $35 limit — more if you’re under. 🙂

  1534. Robyn, I’m not sure if you’d count me or not. My daughters were gifted some coloring books and I have put some regular (novels) on the list for them. If you are looking more for toys, we don’t have those on our list since they prefer coloring and reading over nearly everything 🙂

    If you’d prefer to pick someone else, thank you for at least considering us!

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/21R2S82JASAJY

  1535. Liz B, your daughter’s fleece should arrive on the 24th. My daughter is AS, I know exactly what you mean about textures, sounds etc.

  1537. S 2181, I went back and verified your list, you have items purchased for every child that is why you are no longer on the master list. Be sure you are checking Purchased on your List, some list for some reason show the items on both the purchased and available side, probably because you checked the box “don’t spoil my surprises.” Merry Christmas!

  1539. I see no one else is being added to the master list, but I figured I’ll try my luck.

    Our cable/internet services were shut off a few days ago. I’ve added a 2 board games & 2 books for the kids to keep us all occupied. This is my first time posting. I actually like the time we’re spending together, but we’re running out of ideas! I have 3 kids. 2 boys, 9 & 12 and 1 girl, 7. Won’t be able to get our services on until after Christmas, so we plan to play games, decorate cookies, etc. on Christmas Eve. No Christmas movies this year 🙁

    Happy Holidays!

  1541. Momof7kids post 2527, go ahead and repost it here to the comments board, we aren’t growing the master list now, just trying to wrap it up. I want people to understand clearly what’s going on… this is the first year with a Master List, and people can still post to the board, and a big thank you and shout out to those who are still filling those new lists! The Master List only went up to 2900, because it was starting to die down, and the event really needs an end date even though there isn’t one. The list really helped organize and get lists seen and filled and save people oodles of time. The Master List has been going for a good while, and I hand-picked and verified every list off of the board, and said let me know if I missed you, and added a few skipped over folks on. I’m sorry if I missed anyone, but there were many days to get on it. Just because you aren’t on it doesn’t mean your wish won’t be filled, it’s just sort of the end-game here. I think this year was very educational about what works and what doesn’t work, and while it may not comfort you now, James Garfield (should Jenny choose to do it) will be even better next year! I know it in my heart!

  1543. Robyn 3530, check the Master List. Also, if you give me a bit, it is updated up to 2900, so you can also check the last 600 comments for someone newer who is looking for some help/love. Thank you for being here and giving!

  1545. Hi Robyn, my list is still completely unfulfilled. I just checked the Master List and it is not showing on there, I’m not sure why. I am originally post #1964, I just checked and a few are no longer Prime options so I’ve added “NEVERMIND” to the comments for those items since we are not supposed to delete items. A few are “add-on” items which I believe you can only purchase if you buy a regular item on the list. I changed the ball pit and the 2 sets of balls for the pit to “high priority” as that is what my older kids most wanted and keep asking for. Any help is appreciated, thank you so much!

    Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/45OA2UY85WQG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_gm__wl

  1546. Rosie N 3539, dang sorry to hear this about your services. Legally, if the temperatures drop they can’t cut you off. I’m not sure where you are located, but I hope you can look up electric/heat assistance, look up your town/city most have some kind of help program. I hope someone can gift you those games for this tough time!

  1547. 1043 here, I wasn’t added to the master but would love to just have my daughter get a hair straightener. The one on the list has jumped $6 ($25.96), I’m not even worried about the other things because they each got something but she could really use a straightener, she gets teased about her “poofy hair” and I just can’t afford one. If anyone is still giving here is my link.http://a.co/gK0nRjp

  1548. Karen K. (POST 3545) I’m sorry that you fell through the cracks! We did try so very hard to catch every single list, and most folks let us know if we missed them. I do see that your list is still unfilled for your babies. This list is mostly diapers, a few inexpensive baby toys and fun ball pit. Those little add-ons can be tricky to fill. I hope someone will step in and help you. Karen’s list also complies with limits and has a valid shipping address. Sorry about that. Thanks for being patient too and not over-posting to the comment board. So I just bought your babies a little toy. Wish I could do more, but I’m tapped!

  1549. Belle Brown Post 884, all of your requests were met except for you girls except a couple smaller items that went out of stock. We’re going to call it complete. Let me know if I’m in error. Thanks everyone for being so generous to her family! Merry Christmas!

  1550. Andrea, 910, we’ve been trying to reach you. Every child on your list has received something, but Gage only a bottle because his toy is out of stock, can you please update this and make notes on your wishlist about it. We’re trying to finish the Master List and I don’t want you to get left behind!

  1551. Thank you SOOOO much Serine for all you are doing!!!!! It’s no problem, I really didn’t want to sound greedy by immediately re-posting so I waited a few days. But now that the list is so small for unfulfilled and someone was asking for unfulfilled lists to fill, I felt that was the time to re-post. Thanks so much for buying my kids a gift, I have been trying to read through all the comments and I know you are way past your spending budget, so I appreciate it even more knowing that! Merry Christmas, and thank you so much for all your hard work 🙂

  1552. Allegra – Thank you so much! All of us are autistic in my family and all have different sensitivities. My daughter and husband are sensory avoiders while my son and I are sensory seekers. We all drive each other crazy! Lindsey is going to be so happy and warm and cozy in her new fleece!

    Serine – Please remove #2230 from the Master List. There are so many people that still in need. Socks and undies can wait a bit longer – nobody sees them anyway.

    Thanks again for everything! We feel so blessed!

  1553. Karen, I just sent a few items your way. They should arrive on Wednesday. Merry Christmas to you and your little ones!

  1555. Jenny, I love that you do this! I just donated to project Night Night, I should have done it in your honor. xoxo

  1557. Spencer, thank you so much!!! You and Serine seriously just made my day and will make Christmas so much better for my kids! God bless your heart and Merry Christmas to you!

    (Also, not to Spencer but I just wanted to clarify from my last comment that I wasn’t going to re-post just to do so, but I meant that I wanted to only because I wasn’t showing on the Master List.) Thank you to everyone helping to moderate, keep the peace, and try to keep up with over 3,000 comments and almost as many lists, making sure they abide by the guidelines, etc etc etc. You are all miracle workers and because of you many kids like mine will enjoy their Christmas so much more! <3

  1559. I found a straightener that was closer to the original price of the one that was on my list! I can’t believe there are over 10,000 straighteners on there lol. Either way, one has been found if anyone wants to help for my daughter Maddy
    http://a.co/gK0nRjp

  1560. My “special” baby boy is starting a new school. They supply everything but the back pack and a few other things, which are on the list as well. They even supplied him with 3 days of uniforms.Took us forever to get him appoved to this school. He starts after Christmas break (the 4th I think) so it doesn’t matter when these things come it. I’d be happy to get some help. I’d really apprecitate it.

    i know Im late to post but I just got the call today!

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1M17B1KPASFFM

  1561. Angie
    Yay! I’m glad it got there, I have been obsessively checking Amazon wondering why things have not shipped!

    If you have not seen it, they have a My Little Pony hotline where they can get a Holiday Message from the Best Pony, Pinkie Pie as well as the other Mane 6 ponies at 1-833-249-0483. I tried it out and it works (and I have not gotten spammed with stuff, so it seems on the level) I found that whilst trying to find a Santa hotline, anyone know the number for Santa?

    And a big thanks to Serene and company for the list, I showed up late and could not read 2000 plus comments without getting overwhelmed!

  1562. Let’s all hope this mission is “grinch” free. On Reddit there’s a group where hundreds of wishes were marked as purchased on Amazon when they in fact were not.

  1563. I was line 2021 and we received my youngest mittens today. They are perfect. They even have textured grips so he can play on the playground at school and keep his hands warm. Bless you my angels/ elves. And thank you Jenny and Moderators.

  1565. I am message 349. I just relized I didn’t put where we was from. We live in Colorado. I am sorry I forgot this. 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. Thank you all and Merry Christmas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3QK400YM8YEWB/ref=cm_wl_huc_view

  1566. Violet Sage at 1094, most of your items are no longer Prime. Can you please edit your list? Make notes, replace etc. It’s a bit long so that might explain why it is getting passed over, even though it’s socks and food.

  1568. The Grinch, 3562, well, that would sad. I don’t know how people would have the power to do that to someone’s list. But we seem to be doing great!

  1570. The Master List is looking pretty tiny! 15 Lists left to go. I do wish I could buy more coats… sigh.
    I’ll check back a little later and see where we stand. Even in sifting through the lists from 2900-now, there aren’t too many left with stuff on them. Except some that have returned to ask for more help. Some though. Someone gift me a magic-gift-giving wand! So I can wave it around and magically grant wishes!

  1571. Shoot, I closed a wishlist that had just socks left. It was a pack of pinkish socks for $17.99. I can’t remember if it was a recent post, or one from the Googlesheet. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

  1572. Jennifer Miller originally post 2809. I see you worked very hard to revise your list before we stopped upkeep of the Master List. I am happy to hear your family has been moved from a shelter into somewhat more stable housing. I also hope you recover from surgery, and can make the stretch until your disability comes through. I bought you the Fortnite board game. And I really wish I could do more. It truly is the last wish I can grant this year! But I remembered your post and I really hope the best for you!

  1574. My original post is #2250. Thank you all so much, I am in in awe. For the look I will get from my children on Christmas morning. I seen some one said a item was not available. It is now and it is okay if it arrives after Christmas it is for safety of my son. A GPS watch. I also added each a outfit for the kids. And some pride stuff for my oldest son that is having a hard time with his identity.
    I did however delete items already purchased I did not know I wasn’t suppose to

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3MAR9K2CE0LIU

  1575. The grinch 3562 and serine23. This is my fear. I have heard of people putting things in carts on their amazon account so it lists as being bought then later canceling or changing their minds. There is no way to know you just wait and hope something shows up and try not to be disappointed if it doesn’t.

  1577. I know I said I was done. And I was. But then I came back to see more of this wonderful, magical, thing and I couldn’t resist buying a couple more coats. I couldn’t get all three, but Chrissy J #2129, two should arrive Dec. 20.
    Serine, you are so awesome for still hanging in there. Big hugs to you, lady. <3

  1578. Important: Dear Everyone! The Master List is stuck at 15 lists, several of these have out of stock or non-Prime items. If you are still on the Master List I am going to clear it tonight at 10 p.m. Easter Time. Then I’ll just put a post up that says what lists are left. So if you still need your items, update them before that. When the list closes, you can still post on the Comment Board. But Stitchress and I have worked tirelessly, and I’m done for this year. We have a lot of family things going on, visitors etc. I’ll be back tonight to check where things stand…. it was an amazing 2018 James Garfield Miracle!

  1582. Sorry for the last comment. Had a glitch. I see my list is not on the master. I am just hoping to get the watch since one was gifted on here for my daughter. I don’t want my son to feel left out. Thank you

  1584. Anonymous 2250, please post your list here. Also some of your items aren’t Prime, and it might help to label your item with ages.

  1585. Thank you Serine. I was trying to complete some of those wishlists in the master list, but I kept finding items out of stock or not eligible for prime. I think it’s fair to close the master list tonight; you, stitchress, and the other wonderful moderators deserve a break. I’ll just wait and keep an eye for folks to post on the comments to see how I can help.
    Thank you again for making this am incredibly successful 2018 JG Miracle.

  1587. I just wanted to say thank you to whomever fulfilled my kids’ list, it is SO appreciated! The chest binder bought for my eldest made me cry, and I’m going to tell you the short story of why. My eldest, Sonny, is 25, but has processing issues, Aspergers, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and is genderfluid( they/them/their pronouns). Sonny has been wearing the same two ratty binders for over six years, and that was all they asked for for Xmas. Sonny also left the nest and the state to move to California with their partner, but will be alone for Xmas, which has never happened before, and just breaks my heart, but they have to work on Xmas eve and the day after Xmas.

    Being able to give them this, and the book they had as a kid, will make them SO happy, and that makes me even happier!

    So thank you Santas, you’ve made our holidays.
    XOXO,
    Juleah

  1588. Anon 3585, I know! They keep selling out! Thanks for being part of Jenny’s Miracle! I’m going to miracle up some dinner for my family now. I’ll be back!

  1593. I tried again Serene. The sweatshirt runs small according to the comments. This one is $2 cheaper – $19.99.

  1595. Serine23, go ahead and remove Anissa 2267 from the master list. It’s complete now. I grabbed the jacket before it went out of stock.
    Anissa 2267, hope your kid enjoys the jacket. I’m a bit of a Marvel nerd,so it was a good choice.
    I’m officially done here!
    Until next year and you all have a wonderful holiday!

  1596. I got the last coat for 2129, and someone else beat me to the one for 2267 🙂 Two more cleared! x

  1597. Im getting rather worried as I haven’t gotten our books. In hoping they werent snatched off the doorstep. If I’m not home our neighbor is watching for me. If you ordered them can you let me know if they’re still on their way from the north pole? 🙁

  1599. Oh my gosh today has been such a horrible day medical with my oldest angels thank you for making it wonderful! Thank you so much!

  1602. Wow I came back to check how things were going, and the list is so short now!!! So many blessings!! An hard work!! Thank you everyone. My heart is smiling with all the love!!

  1605. My last post, I promise! Per Serine’s recent post, “if you still need your items, update your list by 10pm Eastern Time.” So I just went through and made a bunch of changes. I updated all the comments, so if you are looking to gift anything left, PLEASE read the comments first on the items! I know it looks like I want a ton of items but per the rules I did not delete anything.

    My oldest is in dire need of a booster seat for meals. It is slightly over the $35 limit and 1 item ($5.49) was already purchased for him, so I updated S’s list to total less than $35 so those 2 lists even out. I hope that’s alright.

    Wishlist (only reposting this link because my list never made it to the Master List, but per Serine my list did comply, now the only exception to compliance is what I just stated above):

    https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/45OA2UY85WQG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_gm__wl

  1607. My name is T and I want to post our list if that’s ok? It’s me, my 3 daughters and my mom trying to make it. I’m only asking for the kids, who are 8-16. We’d appreciate anything you can help with.

    http://a.co/6L6O7kC

  1608. J Alexander, from what I recall it was because of the gift card which isn’t allowed? But I’d have to fish back through the comments…

  1609. J Alexander that came across as a question. What I mean is I believe that is why. You didn’t have a link in your original post at 789. But gift cards aren’t allowed. Everything else on your list is fine. Nothing on J Alexander’s list has been filled. Comment 3606 for her kids.

  1610. I know we got here late, but I’m praying for someone to see our post and help our family. I have a little girl named Sam. She’s incredibly smart, inquisitive and keeps me on my feet. We enjoy gardening together, crafts and I’m teaching her to read.

    This past year we haven’t had a home and spent weeks and months with friends willing to put us up. Our long term housing was pulled from under us when our landlord decided to sell. I’m working to me sure that this next year is a better one for us.

    http://a.co/2Z93Ug1

  1611. PLEASE HELP ME! HERE’S MY STORY ONCE MORE. WE HAVE NO TREE AND ZERO GIFTS. I JUST WANT EACH OF MY KIDS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE GIFT. IT’S BEEN A REALLY ROUGH FEW DAYS. :'(

    We had a house fire and lost everything, including the Christmas presents we bought last month. Now my kids have nothing to open Christmas morning. I saw a post about this and I hope it’s not to late to have someone look at my list. I’m hoping to get at least one gift per child if anyone is willing. God bless.

  1612. Serine and Stitchress I just wanted to give a big shout to you two for EVERYTHING you have done for every one! You went way above and beyond to make sure everyone got what they needed for their families. Serine you were amazing after I was wrongly accused of scamming and our orders were cancelled because of it. I helped as much as possible to maintain the Christmas list even after the fact, hours upon hours a few nights in a row even after the fact. My family may not have been helped due to the misinformation about my post but I have come to terms with that, it is what it is. I am just happy to know I was able to help so many others!

    Happy Holidays everyone!!!

  1613. Justin – In honor of Serine and Stitchress, boots for your son are on their way. I don’t have prime so expect them on Monday the 24th.

  1614. And I can’t never resist a kid with an interest in science…
    M @3610, I saw your post as i was getting ready to leave this forum and I took a peek at your list out of curiosity. I saw the science kit. I was done for this season but I kept thinking about your little girl Sam and that science kit. It reminded me of the first science kit i got from Santa when I was a kid. I came back because I think your little girl needs to have that science kit on Christmas Day. Maybe you have a tiny little scientist/engineer in training at home and that warms my heart.
    Happy holidays!

  1615. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to whoever filled our list!! (#1938)
    My 3 kids will be beside themselves with joy!
    Thank you so much to Bloggess, and Sarine for all your hard work, and starting such a wonderful program. I hope you all are richly blessed in return!

  1617. Sorry, Serine23. I wasn’t ignoring you. I have been driving, I just got home from work. I changed out the gift cards back when you originally told me. Someone put me on the master list and one gift was purchased. Then, my list disappeared. Thank you for all you have done this year.😘

  1618. Serine23 thank you for the board game they will play it so much. I still have the faith that God will allow the rest to come, I’m going to post the link again here I hope that’s ok I should be released for home the 21st as long as the clot is gone:)praying these prayers are answered.
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0
    Org 2809:) merry Christmas and God bless all these angels

  1621. My name is Bev, my grandkids came to live with me a couple months ago, their parents passed away due to a car accident. I was searching the web to try to find some help with Christmas and I came along this site. I’m hoping I’m not to late. I just added 2 toys for them. Chris is 4 and Katie is 6, We live in South Carolina. I would love for them to be able to open a couple present for Christmas, I wasn’t expecting this to happen, I just don’t have the funds to buy them anything. Thank you so much if you can help!

    Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2EORKVKB1U6L6

  1622. Molli Taylor, 3616, thank you for reaching out to Kawaii Punk in such a kind way. I can attest that Kawaii Punk helped moderate a lot of the list by leaving comments, pointing out duplicates and fulfilled lists to me and Stitchress. Yes, early on someone pointed fingers, and I do hope we can improve upon this in the future, as it can be hurtful especially if it is untrue. But I don’t know Erryn (Kawaii Punk personally, or what happened entirely) obviously. It sounds like she has a dreadful year, and especially terrible for one of her daughters. Her list is no longer there, and any items purchased were apparently canceled. She still stuck with helping and I do appreciate it! Thank you again Kawaii for all of your kind support!

  1623. J Alexander, I checked your list again before I responded and it had an Xbox $50 gift card active on it, that’s why I mentioned it. Do feel free to comment again on the comment board, and I do apologize if you got passed over for the Master List. Merry Christmas!

  1625. 1043 again. The straightener I was hoping to get for my daughter went back up to $25.96 again. I’m giving up hope in finding her one hot enough. If anyone has a used one we are totally ok with that too. I’m just hoping to find her something before she goes back from Christmas break. The bullies at school are total jerks to her about her hair. We got her a cheap one for her birthday but it just doesn’t take her crazy hair. Any suggestions?
    http://a.co/gK0nRjp

  1626. Thank you Anon for the Marvel coat! My son is definitely a huge fan.

    I am overwhelmed with the kindness of so many. I think most of us that read Jenny’s blog and books need that extra encouragement because life is tough. But she reminds us to look for joy in the ordinary and rise above our challenges.

    It was not in my nature to ask for help. Until three years ago our family was the one giving. But 43 days in the hospital with me fighting to stay pregnant to give our baby a chance to grow, 69 days in the NICU, multiple surgeries, 89 days in a rehab hospital just sucked us dry and that does not even touch the 14 specialists and 23 hours of weekly therapy for our Cerebral Palsy Warrior.

    But amazing people blessed us. I hope to be back on the giving side of the equation at some point. But until then we will share our time and non-monetary resources to help others and be of good cheer and FURIOUSLY HAPPY!

    Thanks Jenny for always getting me through the bad days with humor and to SERENE and STITCHRESS for their hours and hours of dedication and especially to the kind angels who blessed us so abundantly this Christmas.

  1627. Thanks to everyone who helped make this miracle happen.

    I’m going to leave my list active just in case there are any book fairies left, but I know it’s a slim-to-none chance.

    I hope you all have an incredible Christmas and happy new year!

    Sarah, Marie and Rose

  1628. i hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with their loved ones this year.

    Serine, Thank you for allowing me to help you with the list. I thoroughly enjoyed every hour I dedicated to helping, and am so happy it helped get people their wishes filled <3 Please don’t hesitate to contact me for next year, I left my phone number on the spread sheet for you at some point 🙂

    Jenny, I want to thank you from the bottom of my very soul for hosting such and amazing generous event, 9 years in a row!! I hope to be back next year on the giving side. I also want to apologize if I had ever stepped on any toes or violated any boundaries while trying to push the list and get those wishes seen 🙂 Thank you for all you do <3

    Merry xmas to all, I wish all of you warmth and love this season, with or without gifts, hug your families and loved ones extra tight, for those who can no longer hug theirs. <3 <3

  1630. There are a lot of comments here to dig through to find my own, but I’m hoping that, somehow, the sweet soul who cleaned out my list sees this comment. My nephews are going to be delighted and I have a feeling that my neice is too now that I see that her gift is no longer on my wish list either. Thank you so much to all the angels out there helping others. I hope that next year, I can be on the opposite end of this thread, helping others instead. Merry Christmas all!!

  1631. I could be wrong but I thought that one was taken off because gift cards were added on and purchased items had been deleted off.

  1632. Audrey Ausome Mom, I was watching your list for a while, and decided to just take care of it,. I’m thrilled that I was able to do so. Merry Christmas!

  1633. Does this one get hot enough Andrea? (Revlon Perfect Straight Smooth Brilliance Ceramic Flat Iron) Looks like that one is in stock? I know nothing about hair straightners… Can I just say that it makes me so sad they’re picking on her for her hair so much she wants to change who she is. 🙁 She should totally own her hair and tell them to go ****censored words****

    I have noticed that Amazon has been super slow these last couple days, things are taking way longer to ship than normal and of course my CC company flagged me doing something crazy like using my CC as fraud, ugh.

  1634. Hi all. I’m originally post #1185, then #1396… I was one of 11 left on the master list, hoping my kids’ wish list could be completed. If there is anyone else still in a giving mood, please take a look.
    They made the selves to share all the toys, and while we did receive a few small things, it seems like the things they really wanted were too popular on Amazon to stay in stock. I’ve updated the list with similar items, though they could go out of stock soon too. 🙁
    Blessings to all that helped everyone and a BIG shout out to the ladies who maintained the master list!! 🙂

  1635. We have 4 kids aged 1, 3, 11 & 13 they have had a tough year we have been homeless for 6 months and just finally moved into our new home which is my Christmas gift to my children. It took everything to get in here so we can’t afford gifts this year. I included a jacket for my daughter she has grown so my this year so hers doesn’t fit her from last year.
    We are located in Bandera, Texas. We really appreciate any help and hope to play it forward next year.

  1639. I’m not sure why the master list is coming up blank for me, cause my kids never did get the socks and underwear they need, (1876) but there are so many comments I can’t see if it’s just over. If so, forgive my foot in mouth disease.
    ❄⛄❄☃❄
    Regardless, We did have two items purchased for each of my four kids, and they are going to be soooo excited on Christmas morning thanks to my secret santa(s), and Lord knows they wouldn’t be nearly as excited about socks, so I’m gonna count my blessings!

    Thank you to all the ladies who worked so hard and out up with all of craziness (and occasional crazies😲) as so many of us who need help this year were blessed through your efforts.😘

    🎄Merry Christmas to you all!🎄
    (and just in case there is a sock fairy: http://a.co/6ljgTTu) 😅🎄❄

  1643. I just wanted ti say ty to serine and stitchress and JENNY. Also, i plan tk pay it forward any way i can. Jenny you made miracles happen for so many ppl. Ty so much

  1644. Thanks so much Anon 3614! Sam loves science and wants to help clean up the pollution one day. She’s going to be so excited! Thank you! Happy holidays!

  1645. Dawn, it looks like it would! I’ll try to swap them. And it’s so bad that even at her age she tried to cut a bunch of her hair underneath thinking it would thin it out. Of course we then had to cut it shorter and that made it even bigger. Kids are so cruel!!!

  1646. Thank you to Serine and Stitchress, as well as James Garfield!

    My wife is having trouble on her phone (original post 3473) and keeps getting notified that “someone has joined the chat for J’s Santa Wishlist” but she can’t see what is being asked.

    From what she can see, Splendor has not yet been bought. I am amazed at all the coordination and good will I see here, and will forever be grateful for the help we received last year after our house burnt down.

    This, the JGXM, is the true Spirit of the Holidays! (Original post 3473, https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/91PCdWT )

  1647. I have two great kids. Tee who’s still my baby after 15 years, and a help at home and with his sister. He’s almost a straight A student and a budding scientist. My daughter Anita is 7 and loves babies, swimming and has a fierce personality. She doesn’t take anything from me, her brothers or her father! Over 5 years ago my husband was shot in his back by a stranger while walking to work. Because we lost our sole provider, we ended up homeless for several years. Things are better now but still tight financially. I provide home care for my husband and it’s harder to get extras like presents and birthday gifts. I’ve copied our list and regardless of anything, we’ll be ok. We have each other and a home filled with love. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your loved ones.

  1648. Andrea 1043- hope this straightener works for your daughter, and that it helps her build her self-esteem up. Mean people suck. Straightener should arrive on Thursday. Merry Christmas to you and your kids from someone who spent years trying to make her straight hair curly!

  1650. PLEASE HELP ME! HERE’S MY STORY ONCE MORE. WE HAVE NO TREE AND ZERO GIFTS. I JUST WANT EACH OF MY KIDS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE GIFT. IT’S BEEN A REALLY ROUGH FEW DAYS. 😥

  1651. This is my neighbors wish list. I told him to post here because he lost his job 3 days ago. I was so blessed to have my wishlist granted from you angels and I’m praying for a miracle to get his wishes as well. I know that he will pay it forward with out a doubt as soon as he possibly can. Thank you and God bless. Merry Christmas.

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2S0QVKACUJY6S

  1652. Thank you so much jenemm!!! It will have to help at least with that part. I wish it was curly, it’s actually just got a huge wave to it but it’s so coarse and thick that it’s just huge. If 80s hair comes back, we will be so ready lol. Seriously though, thank you so much!

  1653. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2RVVU1OI1E0F5
    This is just boots and coats. If any happens to get them thank you in advance. I had the toys on the list originally then I added winter stuff. We live in Ferguson KY with 4 kiddos. This is truly an amazing community of sweet generous souls. Just when you start to doubt in people something amazing like this comes along. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and God bless you all!

  1654. Everyone I realize that my last post of the remaining 11 lists has been caught up because of all the links and therefore my farewell never made it to the board. Thank you all for this beautiful opportunity. I wish you all love and warm and comfort for your holidays. Thank you Stitchress and everyone for helping moderate the list. Thank you Jenny! Next year will be even more amazing I hope!

  1657. Hey everyone.
    We have a problem here in Tallahassee with desparate folks stealing packages from porches. Several arrests have been made this week, please be on alert in your city, it can happen anywhere of course.

    Is there any way to know when packages are coming from our lists?

  1658. We live in New York but don’t hold that against us. We don’t like the Yankees, either.

    We were going to be homeless this year. By the grace of God and strangers I can never thank enough, we have a roof over our heads and I now have a job. But it pays the rent and bills. We don’t even have a Christmas tree. (I’ve added a fake one to my youngest’s list in case anyone is able to help us with that.)

    Four kids. Two are special needs. One is bullied at school for being different. One is just a little kid who has no idea Mama is struggling.

    Here is a list for each kid. I added socks and underwear. A toy or game for each is on the list because that’s what they would rather of course. Thank you in advance if you are able to help. Life is tough but I am happy we are all together to celebrate Christmas. And I wish your family a happy holiday too. Thank you for your kindness.

    my youngest. so sweet http://a.co/3oSTLRU
    special needs and struggling. http://a.co/28oeIKk
    extreme special needs but doing so well in school. proud! http://a.co/biWr7P8

  1659. Deep Blue,
    Thank you so much! I made a post when my neighbor let me know her daughter in law had returned it. I tried to call the post office and amazon but both said there was nothing they could do. Thank you so much for posting! I appreciate it so much!

  1661. I just want to thank every one that made our Christmas happen this year. Thank you all so much! All my girls are going to be so happy! This is such a blessing.

  1663. Original post 1840.

    Jam1es hopefully you see this you had gotten my twin boys each a gift and i was informed today that several packages where stolen from our building i don’t no if mine where included or not. If you see this Jam1es can you let me know if Amazon said the items where delivered or not so i no to keep a look out still thank you.
    Merry Christmas.

  1664. For the Jenny and the Angels,
    Please know what a difference you are making in the world of so many families this year, and please know that many of us pay it forward through kindness and compassion in whatever ways we can. So blessed and grateful ♡

  1665. Gene here!
    JZ, the fruit came today and the kids went nuts! Laying claim to oranges and excitedly swapping and smelling the fresh delicious food. The youngest had never had a pear that did not come from a can so this absolutely made their holiday! They are so happy munching away on apples and pears. I can only sit here with tears of graditude.
    It may seem small to some but that fresh fruit was so big to us.
    A picture of one of my girls proudly posing with her orange. She said ‘someone loves us! ‘ and its true. Your love and kindness changed the way these kids see the world. I will always be thankful and grateful to you JZ for this day. And for all of you who helped get clothes and a few toys for them. 6 kids is hard to manage and you made them all smile today.

    She had to show me twice! Not a computer person, me

  1668. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the angel who filled my girls list!!!!! I am ugly crying happy tears right now in my room so the girls don’t see!!!

  1669. OMG Thank you soooo Much Jam1es UPS just delivered my boys Christmas gifts god bless you i was walking in when he was and couldn’t stop smiling.

  1670. Gene! You absolutely made my week! Thank you very much for the picture and lovely post, and for letting me know the fruit arrived in good shape. I always loved getting an orange in my stocking, and I’m glad the fruit was a hit with your bunch, too. It was indeed sent with love.

    I’m sending big hugs and best wishes for a happy 2019 for you and your family!

  1671. Help.. Three of my six children never received their gift and Amazon said nothing is scheduled to ship to my house. I don’t know what that means for my children. I didn’t want to do this but I re added the items to my list and choose a board game for the barbie. Does anyone think its possible the items will come? I’m getting nervous… We need a Christmas miracle right now …I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the first order shows up … Did anyone else have any issues?

  1674. I’m from 1129 I’m still hoping someone will answer my wish. Thank you all for everything.

  1678. Poster 201 from Canada – Not sure if you’ll see this in time but I’ve checked Amazon and the two toys have been shipped and it says they should be there for Friday. So sorry for it taking so long! I shipped via Prime to make sure they’d get there in time. Hope you and your kiddos have a Merry Christmas!! – Samantha in Winnipeg

  1679. Hi all Jade here from post 114/2265
    I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Ana(and everyone else) who sent me some items on my list,especially the cherubs for my daughter’s grave. I can understand why you chose them by your note you included in the parcel,I was so shocked and in tears when reading what you wrote. We have been through the same thing so understand each other. I want to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and happy New year. Thank you thank you thank you
    Xxxx

  1680. Isabelle post 1627. If you’re still on here it says the gift delivered today. So not the 24!

  1682. My kids’ wish list was one of the last few on the Master List that never got filled before it was taken down last night. Don’t know if those remaining lists are going to be reposted at some point, but given how close it is to Christmas, I figured I should try this once more.

    These aren’t “fun” gifts or toys, just basic warm clothing needs for three kids. My eldest daughter had a coat bought for her, but my younger daughter and son still really need coats, both girls need jeans, and the boots are for my son. The only thing that’s been changed is that I traded out the boots for a cheaper pair when I saw the price had gone up.

    Huge thanks to anyone who can help my kids out, and best wishes to all for a blessed holiday season.
    http://a.co/f95uzCt

  1683. I have updated and added Clothes for each child, names ages and sizes. Also the watch is back in stock for my son. My husband and I have always been efficient with working and providing. Our fur baby my kids bestfriend need emergency surgery. It was 5 hours long and 4 days recovery at the vet totaling 5k. My kids sacrificed their Christmas to have their dog. They are so selfless. But I can not let them have nothing under the tree. So Thank you to all that gifted my children and gave them a Christmas. OP #2250

  1684. IM DESPARATE SO I WAS GONNA KEEP POSTING, BUT I DON’T THINK ANYONE ELSE IS DOING ANYTHING SO IM GOING TO MAKE THIS MY LAST ONE :/

    PLEASE HELP ME! HERE’S MY STORY ONCE MORE. WE HAVE NO TREE AND ZERO GIFTS. I JUST WANT EACH OF MY KIDS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE GIFT. IT’S BEEN A REALLY ROUGH FEW DAYS. 😥

  1685. Hi, I think we keep getting overlooked. My post is for 3 girls Leeli, Ali and Nay. I’m starting over this year after a bad divorce and would appreciate some help with Christmas presents. We’re under the limit except for the sushi go game that’s for the girls to share
    http://a.co/7xs1MsZ

  1687. @Serine – I just saw the invite to edit. I hope your daughter had a wonderful birthday! I ended up sick the past few days so I’m just catching up here. Can’t believe the sheet is empty… how amazing!! Beautiful people here. Next year I’m happy to help organize early. Love the idea of google forms to start and input onto a master sheet again. You girls really rocked it. Thanks to all the efforts so many children will be warm and feel joy.

    To the kind human beings that sent gifts to my kiddos – a majority arrived today. The kids will be all smiles thanks to you. The grumpy cat hats are so so perfect 😂. The toys and books are all super fun too!

  1688. I hope that Jenny puts this together a little better next year. The people who came along and chose to moderate definitely rigged this. It’s unfair and families that were told they could post again were completely ignored. I’m sorry, I cannot tel you all you did a good job or that it was selfless because you didn’t do either.

    Merry Christmas!

  1689. Wow smh, did you offer to moderate? I think they did a darn good job. It’s Jenny’s page and she would have said something if she had a problem with the way things were run.

  1690. Ashley, presents are on the way!! Merry Christmas!! Jenny, thank you for doing this year after year! This is my favorite Christmas tradition! Merry Christmas!

  1691. Wow, SMH, WOW!!! I don’t think you know what those volunteer went through to keep this at least somewhat organized. It is people like you who are going to make Jenny stop doing this. Nothing is guaranteed. If you were “neglected” then there likely was something off about your list, it included too much, kept changing, had too much, had gift cards, or maybe it was looked over. Nothing is promised here. People like you make me no longer want to help others. It used to give me joy then I come and read comments like yours. You should be ashamed. Hundreds came out and made the holidays better for so many more. We should all be applauding for Serene and Stitchress for stepping up and helping.

  1692. Hello! I think we may be a day late and a dollar short. 😉 My kids are wonderful and totally understand that needs come before wants but how awesome would it be for them to receive something fun for Christmas? They are older so definitely help the babies who still believe first. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

  1693. Brittany post 376 – According to Amazon, your package (child’s coat) couldn’t be delivered. Can you reschedule delivery with the Post Office? They said a notice was left at your address.

  1694. Hi all. I’m gonna post one more time, since the last 11 from the master list didn’t make it on here at the end…just hoping… Please help us if you can. They just really had their hearts set on these spinning top things. They made the list together wanting to play with it all together. Original Post 1185 and 1396 on the list.

  1695. Amanda Slade, gifts on the way. Two wouldn’t ship to your area so I sent gift cards. Hoping it all arrives in time!

  1696. Just posting in hopes of anyone who may still be looking for a family to help. Each of my kiddos have one item purchased and I did add coats because they are wearing older coats and my two oldest are at the age where they grew a ton over the summer and they are very tight. Merry Christmas!

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/PY2SXOUONYC4

  1697. Stichress, the list was deleted. I had checked in the rules in the post and it did (and does) still say food could be added on Friday, but I am sorry if I missed a comment about it. I haven’t been near an internet station for a while, so I am also sorry for the slow reply.

    I am still quite grateful for the gifts donated for my daughters and wish happy holidays to all!

  1698. Victoria, presents and a tree on the way! The tree you picked wouldn’t arrive til after Christmas so I picked a different one and a few ornaments. Have fun decorating it! Merry Christmas!

  1701. Mom who had her car towed… My list was filled and I got food and sanitary napkins on my needs list but nothing had actually arrived that showed purchased from the gift one yet and I’m a little worried

  1702. I live in Canada and have been on disability for 6 years now and each year gets harder. I have a 16 year old daughter who would love to receive a scratch map and a 12 year old son who chose some accessory for his scooter to do tricks on. I also included a set of bedsheets each as they are much needed but please don’t feel obligated at all. If my list makes it to any angel Santa’s then thank you so so much in advance.

  1703. Ashley in CT (#714) – I got an email from Amazon today that the Pokemon book for your son which was supposed to be delayed until January 2nd shipped – yay!! It should arrive tomorrow 🙂

  1704. I just rescued my sister was just rescued from a domestic violence situation 2 hours away from where I stay. Her bf beat her and put her and their 4 month old daughter out with nothing but the clothes on their backs. I don’t get paid until next week so I’m so lost. Our Care and Share doesn’t open until Saturday. Her or the baby has no clothes or shoes except the ones on their backs. As soon as she called me, I was on my way. Thank God she left with the diaper bag and a little formula and her WIC papers and thank God our Walmart is opened 24/7 cause I wouldn’t know how we would have gotten formula. I’m gonna let them stay with me for a while, but I need some help with getting them a few things they need. I know it seems like a lot, but I don’t expect everything, I just need help getting them some things to last until I get paid.

  1706. I’m hoping whoever helped buy our list sees this- I tried calling amazon but they cant tell me- I don’t know if anythibg has supposed to be delivered but we havent gotten anything yet 🙁 I’m getting worried something happened.

  1707. I’m a single mom of 2 teens and 1 preteen. Although they don’t believe in Santa, I believe they still deserve to have a few gifts under the tree. I know I’m late and probably won’t even have my list looked at, but I’m not going down without trying. They are 3 totally different boys, they like different things. As of now they have two small gifts each in on the list. They need backpack, but they only like drawstring. They don’t have books, because all their reading is done on tablets, so these are perfect for that!

    If anyone would like to throw in a surprise Christmas movie, that would be great!

    This will be all they recieve come Christmas morning. They know money is tight and would be so grateful for anything. They love snack foods and I’m pretty sure we can sit a watch a movie together and enjoy a little family time.

  1709. Hi Rie I hope Amazon is correct and the spin toys arrive on the 24th and you and your family have a very merry Christmas

  1712. W.P thank you so much I just added my address, sorry about that!

    3621Bev | December 17, 2018 at 9:07 pm
    My name is Bev, my grandkids came to live with me a couple months ago, their parents passed away due to a car accident. I was searching the web to try to find some help with Christmas and I came along this site. I’m hoping I’m not to late. I just added 2 toys for them. Chris is 4 and Katie is 6, We live in South Carolina. I would love for them to be able to open a couple present for Christmas, I wasn’t expecting this to happen, I just don’t have the funds to buy them anything. Thank you so much if you can help!

  1713. My old post… 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!
    Sorry I keep posting but according to what I see on my list NO gifts are coming for my kids … with Christmas just a few days away I am worried my kids will have nothing to open . I don’t know what to do I have tried to follow the best I can to make sure I have done everything right to follow rules ect . I am only looking for gifts for the kids that live with me .. Merry Christmas and I hope and pray I hear back soon ..I will try to follow the blog but I also work full time ..but I will do my best ! Thank you

  1714. Hi Samantha, I think most gifters are done purchasing, since this has been winding down for several days. I did notice, though, that your list is way over the $35 dollar limit per kid. That was somwthing listed in Jenny’s original post.

  1715. https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2QUKP4HW8COWE

    I’m not sure if this is still ongoing, but I only saw the post yesterday and immediately thought of my mom. The list above is for my mom (in Lewisville which is suburb of Dallas) and her kids (my younger siblings) Jacob (18) & McKenzie (16). My parents recently divorced and my mom is having a very rough time making ends meet on her own (and managing her depression). This would be so very much appreciated and ease the stress that she is feeling over being able to get them gifts this Christmas. Thank you sincerely in advance.

  1716. @Wendyelfinoregon I called amazon to find out shipping date and not sure which items you purchased but it is saying that the order was reserved but not purchased
    Can you please tell me what is happening
    The 2 pairs of boots, tennis shoes and sensory sock is only reserved.

  1717. DANA E. (LAST COMMENT #1091) – USPS attempted delivery on 12/12 and left a notice for next steps. Contact me at happy_irish1 AT yahoo dot com if you would like me to send the tracking number so you can retrieve the items. Thanks!

  1718. @wendyelfinoregon never mind I see that your items came. Thank you so much sweetie. There was someone who reserved 4 of my items which were shoes,2 pairs of boots and a sensory sock but they never purchased them. Whoever reserved this list and gave false hope shame on you. I’m hoping there is still an angel that can help with these items. I will personally call amazon with you on 3 way so you can see that someone reserved but did not purchase them. I’m going to put them back on my wish list in hopes there is still someone there.

    http://www.amazon.com/registers/wishlist/NAA251NTN3AB

  1719. W.P I added two gifts for each kid. Chris adds up to $28.46 and Katie adds up to $31.46. I’m am under the $35 limit for each kid. Thank you tho

  1723. @Torrence, this has been an issue especially with Reddit this year where people either claim they purchased items elsewhere on your list which they did not or they order the items and then cancel which never cycles them back on the wishlist.

  1724. I haven’t ever heard of reddit . I know a few years back I got on there to donate for some Autism thing and was super confused and never went back. To many sub catagories and this and that. Im just very saddened someone would do such a heartless thing to someone. These were very much needed items. I’m sure it’s too late now to even get help anymore. I’ve got a pretty good Idea who did it from the info Amazon gave me and the post saying I wasn’t overlooked. They should be ashamed for what they did. If anyone can help I’m willing to call amazon on 3 way so they can also hear the same info I was told about items being reserved but not purchased. Jenny if your reading this comment please known there are people out here reserving lists and giving people false hope.

  1725. I guess I was one of the false hope lists. I should have known better. I feel so stupid. Its too late to do anything now. Christmas will not be ruined though, you cold grinch who lied to children. My kids might not have anything to open but they are decent people with ethics and morals. At least we can go to sleep at night knowing we always do the best we can for ourselves and others.
    It costs nothing to not be like that. But you took time out of your day to screw with people while they were already down and out. That’s really evil.

  1726. I agree anonymous and I’m sure people who did this will get their payback as God dont like ugly.. call amazon and ask them the shipping details and try to squeeze info to what the name of the person is who purchased. Tell them you need just the first name to look the person up so you can ask them to pay for the reserved items.

  1727. I guess we won’t have any thing to open after all. You could have just not done anything why give fake hope why be so cruel to kids on Christmas

  1731. Torrance – can you edit to add which kids the items are for?

    It looks like you stated that you have 3 girls – and it looks like you have received items for each of them. Are the items that you have on your list (shoes, boots, sock) added after your list was already fulfilled? Maybe someone added them to the cart but saw that your list was already fulfilled and decided to gift another family who has not had anything fulfilled yet? I know in the original post it said everyone can come back and add items last Friday after most lists are filled, but just by observing it looks like a lot of people came back and added stuff while some children hadn’t even received 1 gift yet. Just a thought.

  1732. also, if someone is really being a grinch intentionally on here, remember GOD does not like ugly and Karma will come back around.

  1733. Anonymous I posted this list on Friday for needed items like everyone else and stated that in the post. Per Jenny we were able to post clothing, food, etc and that’s what my post stated. I have a pair of flip flops to my name and asked for a pair of boots for me and my oldest. A pair of shoes for my middle and an sensory sock for the youngest.

  1734. I’m confused about Amazon reserved lists vs. wish lists–I have not heard of reserving items?
    How do you reserve from a wish list?
    An item can be in someone’s cart and will still show available on the wish list until actually purchased. They don’t disappear from the wish list because someone else has them sitting in their cart. There have been several instances where I have gone to purchase an item but someone beat me to it. I was able to add the item to my cart even though it was also in their cart, but they checked out faster. If that happens, Amazon then gives you a heads up the purchase may be a duplicate.
    Am I misunderstanding what happened? That would be a shame if someone is buying items and then deleting them, but I don’t understand how they can be reserved?

  1735. My first list had a toy for each child under the 35 dollar limit. On Friday per Jenny I posted a pair of boots for me , a pair for my oldest, a pair of tennis shoes for the middle and a sensory sock for the youngest. The post even said “this is my 2nd list per Jenny and a toy was purchase for each and that these are needed items” . Whoever reserved the items read my post and clicked on it but didn’t purchase the items. As you can see I’m not the only one this happened to as a few more comments came after mine and I’ve seen more above that stated nothing had shown up. Someone went through and intentionally did this. I’m just praying for a small miracle someone is still here. My already purchased items are under the purchased tab. Amazon helped me put the ones that were reserved but not purchased back on my wish list. I have no issue with giving someone my number and they can call me and I will 3 way amazon so they can hear the items purchased and the ones that were reserved but not purchased.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NAA251NTN3AB

  1736. JZ if you want pls send me your email. I will send you my number and I will 3 way you with Amazon. If someone clicks a list and puts It in their cart it shows as purchased. I even spoke to supervisors there trying to find out why. But I will show you that is exactly what they did.

  1737. From Amazon just now:

    ChatSound
    Me: Hi! If someone puts an item from a wish list into their cart, is it reserved, or can someone else still see it and buy it?
    You are now connected to Purval from Amazon.com
    Purval: Hello, my name is Purval. I’m here to help you today.
    I have read your query & I would love to help you with this.
    It will not showed as purchased until someone will not actually purchased it
    It will not be re-severed if someone add this in cart.
    Me: Thank you for answering my question–have a good day!
    Purval: You’re Most welcome!
    ​​
    ​
    Thank you for contacting Amazon. We hope to see you again. Have a great rest of your day.
    🙂
    Please click on “End-Chat-Option” on the top right corner to close the window.

  1738. Maybe their card got declined? I had to call my CC company because apparently using the card got flagged as fraud. I didn’t get the notification from Amazon til like a day later and had to change the card, so they must hold the items in limbo til you fix it? Does Amazon not send tracking/shipping updates for wishlist items?

    I love Amazon, but I wish they did better, the whole third party vendor system sucks this time of year and they sell out of stuff this close to Christmas. I find their clothes to be super overpriced too.

  1739. Again JZ please send me your email I will send you my phone number and call with you on 3 way

  1740. JZ is correct, I just tested this. I added items to my wish list and had my coworker add them to her cart, however they did not disappear from my wish list. I have never heard of reserving an item. Unless they were just marked as purchased elsewhere? Which may be what happened.

  1741. Torrance, can you please check your wish list to see if the items are showing available?
    Thanks!

  1743. Torrance and JZ I guess I might be a member of this unfortunate club also. I called Amazon wanting to find out when I should look for things (just so things don’t get stolen) and was told that someone had put things in their cart but as of yet hadn’t purchased them which is why on my end they appear as purchased when I look thru my list. I didn’t ask who was the purchaser. I am not sure I want to know who the grinch is unless its to stop them from doing this again. Breaks my heart that so many of us have had that done to us. If anyone knows something different please let me know as I just want to know if I need to watch out for something.My list was 2120. I will post the link below and someone can check and see if it does like JZ said above. (lets you put it in a cart then says something about someone already bought, or what). So sad and Mad.

  1747. AND PLEASE SEE REPLY POST UNDER IT. THAT LADY LIVES IN INDIANA I LIVE IN SANSOM PARK TEXAS

    Umm ok not sure what Jenny fan is referring to but when I clicked the name it went to the woman you mentioned. However it looks like that child’s name is Torianna and not Torrance. DO you know how many people have the last name Pena? Also I have 1 post as I mentioned and everyone else was posting a list of necessities and that’s my 2nd one? My email is ToriP1822@gmail.com Torrance Isabel Pena on Facebook.

  1749. Ive asked Jenny to please pull up IP information on this because of Jenny sees duplicate IP or any wrong doing in lists under the post. Go back in the comments. I have nothing to hide and am going to upload my call with name and all info.

  1750. JZ, you bought a gift for each of my three kids – tiny hands finger puppets, a manga book, and a bearded beanie. The finger puppets and book arrived (each shipped separately), but the bearded beanie hasn’t shown up yet. Do you by any chance have tracking info you could check, for that one?
    I hung onto the little Amazon thank you note thingies, intending to send all three “thank you”s at once as one split-up message like I’d done with another person who sent gifts, as the character limit for each note is pretty small. So if it turns out that the beanie simply vanished somewhere between Amazon and here, I’ll stop waiting and just go ahead and send the other two notes. But in the meantime…thank you so much, again, for sending a little magic to my kids this Christmas!

    Here’s my kids’ wishlist, in case anybody else out there is still looking to help out.
    http://a.co/izIs92u
    These are just warm clothing needs; I took off the remaining unpurchased toy/book sort of items when adding the clothing, last Friday. The coats are the highest priority, as all the kids have outgrown or worn out their old ones. Some mystery elf bought a coat for my eldest daughter (and thank you again, whoever you are!), but my son and younger daughter still need them.

  1751. I just rescued my sister was just rescued from a domestic violence situation 2 hours away from where I stay. Her bf beat her and put her and their 4 month old daughter out with nothing but the clothes on their backs. I don’t get paid until next week so I’m so lost. Our Care and Share doesn’t open until Saturday. Her or the baby has no clothes or shoes except the ones on their backs. As soon as she called me, I was on my way. Thank God she left with the diaper bag and a little formula and her WIC papers and thank God our Walmart is opened 24/7 cause I wouldn’t know how we would have gotten formula. I’m gonna let them stay with me for a while, but I need some help with getting them a few things they need. I know it seems like a lot, but I don’t expect everything, I just need help getting them some things to last until I get paid.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3JKCX0ZRT561M/

  1752. Hi 3750! No worries, it’s on the way! The beanie was originally supposed to arrive in January, but I paid shipping to make sure it’s there by the 24th at the latest. It’s guaranteed, so if it doesn’t arrive by the 24th, please let me know. Right now it’s showing it just left Beijing, so hopefully it will arrive in time. It’s getting to see a bit of the world as it travels to your home. 🙂

  1754. If you would like the audio clip of the call please send your email and I will send the call as YouTube wants me to upload video only and I have an audio clip.

  1756. So there is all of my proof. I have the original email I will screenshot along with the audio call. I didn’t realize I needed to go through this much but I am not gonna back down from proving myself to anyone because I have no reason to lie. With that said anyone who can please help with my list I will send original email and audio of the call I had with amazon. There are 2 pairs of boots, a pair of tennis shoes and a sensory sock. Merry Christmas and Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NAA251NTN3AB

  1757. Anonymous- I don’t think so, unless they comments here and said so. But you can contact amazon and ask them about your wishlist and they will tell you when it will arrive. That’s what I did last year.

  1759. JZ – Oh good Lord; well no wonder it’s taking some time, lol! I never would have added that beanie to the wishlist had I known it was coming from the other side of the world. It was listed as shipping with Prime when I added it and every time I checked back; that’s so weird. In that case, thank you again-again-double-plus-extra for being so sweet as to pay the shipping, and best wishes for a blessed holiday season to you and yours!

  1760. This whole reserved thing is so strange. I know I’ve been completing purchsde, because I see the charges on my cc bill.

    Autism momma, on the link it show’s purchased, but amazon says it isn’t?

  1761. I agree it’s strange because i thought it had to be purchased to come off someone’s list. That’s why i specifically spoke to a supervisor who checked my account as well as the person who has it in their cart unpurchased and made sure I recorded the call and got an email to prove it. I don’t know who attempted to purchase mine but if you have proof of charges please send them to me so I can email them to the supervisor. I’m praying for a miracle and hope someone is still out there who can fill my list.

  1762. I didn’t purchase those items, unfortunately. I’m trying to figure out how much more I can do, since I’ve already exceeded my james gar field budget.

  1763. Oh I know you were talking to autismmom . I don’t know who “tried” to purchase mine. I’m hoping it was an error and they see my post here. I really hope someone wouldn’t do that on purpose. I just hope someone comes along and can help. Bless you WP for all you have done for children this year. I hope God blesses you with much happiness.

  1765. My name is Amanda and I was originally post 1743 I think. I posted prior to that but I posted the wrong link for amazon. My children’s wish list was filled early and we are extremely grateful that people picked my family for a Christmas miracle but as of right now three items never arrived and amazon said nothing is left to be shipped to my house. I have no way to contact the person who purchased the items because it’s all anonymous. I only added one toy for each child because I didn’t want to be greedy but now 3 children will have nothing to open Christmas morning and I’m questioning what to do with the three I received because it isn’t fair for Santa to give one and not the other. It will crush their hearts like he forgot them.
    I know Christmas isn’t about gifts because honestly what really matters is the people you are celebrating it with.

    I’m looking for help to replace those items or to possibly get in touch with the anonymous person to maybe figure out what happened please??
    Here is a little about us…
    I have 6 beautiful children and live near Scranton PA. My oldest is ED and he just celebrated his 14th birthday.

    Cheyenne is 12 and was born with severe congenital heart defects.. she is our chd warrior. She was born with several complex heart conditions and has had numerous surgeries and a pacemaker implanted. She is my miracle who continues to prove doctors wrong.

    Hailey and Nicole are the sweetest little girls always offering to help someone out. They melt my heart with how big their hearts are. They help the neighbors carry their groceries inside for them, shovel snow for them and always offering to help in school. I cried during parent teachers conferences when the teacher informed me that my daughter nicole got a new classmate and she really took him under her wing to make sure he felt welcome and wasn’t excluded from games at recess or when kids had to choose a partner. She picked him as her partner instead of her best friends so he wasn’t left out or picked last.

    Lynn is 5 and is the one I refer to as my little trixie from the movie problem child 2 lol. She is diagnosed with autism level 3, ADHD with odd tendencies, and sensory issues. Every day is a struggle for her as she tries to avoid most of the world but we do everything possible to help her navigate it. I must admit she is the one I worry so much about especially her future.

    The youngest is William and he is 2. He is the happiest baby I’ve ever seen despite everything he has been through in his life. He spent most of it in and out of the hospital and going from one specialist to another for testing and help. He has severe asthma, laryngomalacia, severe gerds, gastrointestinal issues and struggles with eating because everything seems to cause him to gag,choke, and vomit. We are still trying to figure out exactly what is going on with him. It’s been a very rough road for us to be honest. We almost lost our home and we have had our lights and water turned off several times in the last 6 months. We had to have one of our specialists help us get it back on but if it wasn’t for him we would be sitting in the dark. I keep moving on for my children because they are my everything. I’m not asking for me not one thing for myself just them. Thank you for your time. I truly hope you all have a very merry christmas.

  1766. omg Anonymous seriously?? Why because I ACTUALLY PROVED MYSELF. Because I’ve used my name and not say here under anonymous? Get a life. I have proof of everything to anyone who is willing to help. I was responding to comments so now im suspicious for having a conversation?? Smdh

  1767. Thank you very much for the menstrual cup! This makes me feel more relaxed and less stressed out about my cycle. I can leave the house and not worry about buying supplies or having an accident. We still have a coat and some shoes on our list thank you for your help! http://a.co/17lLJPZ

  1768. Amanda: My CC is so very maxed out, but I have some age appropriate gifts (like Hatchimals or LOL? Any of your kiddos like Lego? ) here if you feel comfortable emailing me your address (beaniemomtoo@yahoo.com) I’m in NY so its likely they’ll make it by Christmas.

  1769. Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Anonymous 3709!! They will go crazy with joy! If they come after Christmas it will be the best New Year’s Day party for sure!!! Happy Holidays to you and your family. I can’t thank you enough!! 😍

  1770. 3765 the playing cards show they will arrive the 27th and one item off your wishlist 3751 which should be there the 21st. Merry Christmas!

  1771. Our list said it was fulfilled, but nothung has come…. this what was on it:
    3 christmas hoodies,
    a farting dog toy for my youngest,
    socks for the girls,
    a superman keychain for my son,
    and perler bead organizer boxes,
    a pair of sneakers.
    Maybe someone knows something and can update me, remembers those items?
    Maybe they will show up. Even though life has shown me not to I am still hoping they arrive as promised.
    Still thankful for Jenny and this event even if they don’t.

  1772.         <pre><code>        You guys are amazing.   Thank you for continuing to be awesome.

    Looks like there are a few questions I’ve been asked…one is if someone put something in their cart will it look like it’s purchased? It shouldn’t. If someone has something in their cart and didn’t finish checking out the stuff still shows up as unpurchased but when you try to buy it and check out you get a notification saying that someone else may be buying this and it may be a duplicate purchase. Then you have to check to make sure it’s still available so the person doesn’t get two of the same thing.

    There is one thing that might cause the problem that a few of you have mentioned (items looking purchased but didn’t arrive) and that’s if someone bought you stuff but then cancelled it later. It’s very rare. Sometimes their credit card failed and they just don’t know. Sometimes they come back to let people know in the comments to try again. Sometimes they suspect they are being scammed and cancel. Again, it’s rare and when it happens they usually come back to comment about it and find someone else to help.

    Torrance, you asked me to look at IP’s and actually your IP is associated with 4 or 5 different people asking for wish lists, however in some areas it can happen that IP’s are shared. Last year we had a lot of people with the same IP and it was a Native American reservation that shared an IP. Sometimes (rarely) it can be a shared apartment building. I can tell you that the person named Crabby Patty who said that they didn’t think you were a scammer and was sending you a gift is also writing from the same IP address as you. Is it possible that someone you are sharing a computer with bought you the stuff and canceled it? Looks like it’s purchased again on your list so hopefully it all worked out.

    Sorry to everyone about the complications. There are scammers, without a doubt, and if we do this again I’m going to try to accept volunteers to help me verify that people are who they are…both for the people who deserve to know where their gifts are going, the people who need to be protected from themselves, the children who deserve help and the people who are sometimes wrongly suspected. The suspected scammers only happen in 1 out of 100 people but it’s so easy to focus on those few troubled people rather than the people who need and got help. Focus on the other 99 out of 100. You made such a difference. Thank you!

  1773. I live in Sansón park our community WiFi runs from the school everyone in the neighborhood,churches,library’s and schools all use the WiFi. They have it for the kids as their homework is all online. I can get the paper from the school if needed and I also told several parents about this site at the school

  1774.         Also nothing has been purchased that I have stated since the last post. Those are the items that were from my first list and the second list is the boots, tennis shoes and sensory sock those were the ones that were purchased but reserved in someone’s cart that I called amazon about. Still not purchased . Thank you for clearing up the IP thing I will get the paper from the school that shows we all use the community Internet because we paid the school when we send the kids back to school


    (But your wishlist says “Someone put my wishlist in their cart and didn’t complete the purchase. Amazon reversed the items I added out of their cart and back to my list. Please please help if you can.” So if they reversed the items out of the cart and back onto your list then they would be on your list, right? Because they still show someone purchased them for you when I look at it. ~ Jenny)

  1775. I just posted the email above that shows what amazon said. What is an email and I can send you the original email as well as the phone call of them saying only the toys were purchased.
    After I posted the list I looked and it said someone had purchased after days of not getting them I called to check on the status. They said the items had not been purchased and were in reserve in someone’s cart. I just checked the list and the 2 pairs of boots, shoes and sensory sock are still showing under not purchased . I will email amazon again to verify

    Here is the email again

    The customer it is calling on regarding about her wishlist that she just wants to know when it will be the expected delivery date for the items.

    I’ve search and found that just one of the five items were purchase and it is just the 18 inch Dolls.

    The other ones were just reserved and there is no order yet.”

    I hope this helps. Have a great day!

  1776. Jenny please check your email I just sent the recording of my wish list and the email from Amazon

  1777. Torrance, I am late to the conversation. I came back to see if anyone else needed help and I saw your posts. When I checked your wishlist, there are 3 toys that were purchased. According to the copy of the email you posted in comment 3775, only the dolls were purchased. Is Amazon going to reverse those 2 toys back to the wishlist? Right now I only see some sneakers, 2 pairs of boots and a sock.

  1778. W.P. When I look at the link it says purchased, I called amazon because I was wanting to see when to expect a package as I don’t want it stolen and for some reason even if we are home they just leave the package and don’t even knock (I had to put a note on our door last year asking them to knock that we were home). I got the mittens (god bless that person) that bought those for my little guy but they were bought earlier and the other items were moved to the purchased list a couple days later so I assumed they would come maybe today. I called just to check and amazon said I wasn’t down for any shipments. I asked them to check the wish list and they said someone put it in a cart but didn’t actually purchase it. I figured I would check back Friday if nothing had come until someone else on here mentioned the same thing. Now I am just crossing my fingers hopeful that Amazon is mistaken. Thanks for responding to me.

  1779. Autism momma, I’m so sorry, I’m not your gifter. I looked at your list, and it shows every thing as purchased/filled. I wish I’d been the gifter so I could provide more info.

  1780. Anonymous the toys were purchased 1 for each girl earlier last week. I posted the boots, tennis shoes and sensory sock Friday on the necessities day. Someone added them to their cart however they never paid for them. Amazon meant only the dolls were purchased in that order and not the boots, shoes or sensory sock that now shown unpurchased . Basically they added all to the cart only purchased the doll and left the others without payment. That’s why amazon put them back as unpurchased because after they seen the person who put them in the cart didn’t buy them they reversed it back to my wish list. The boots, shoes and sock have still not been purchased as of now.

  1781. Autism mom you need to call amazon and ask when the items will be delivered. If the agent refuses ask for a supervisor like I did. They can show you what was purchased or just put in the cart without purchase and reverse the others back to your wishlist with the same date you first added them

  1782. Torrance, you said Amazon removed items from someone’s cart and placed them back in your wish list. Let’s just ignore for a moment that your wish list would not have been marked purchased unless someone had actually bought them. Amazon does not “reserve” wish list items in carts and show them as purchased. (seriously, they just don’t).
    Amazon also does not go into carts and edit them at a stranger’s behest (seriously, they just don’t).
    Please see my chat below with the kind Amazon customer service rep:

    ChatSound
    Me: Hi! If someone has placed items from my wish list into their cart, could I have those items removed from their cart since they haven’t bought them for a couple of days?
    You are now connected to Sourabh from Amazon.com
    Sourabh: Hello, my name is Sourabh. I’m here to help you today.
    Me: Thanks!
    Sourabh: Yes (my name redacted).
    Me: Items can be removed from a cart that is not my own?
    Sourabh: When someone placed the order It will automatically shown up to your wishlist.
    You are not eligible to remove from someone’s cart.
    Me: Thank you–just to clarify, Amazon staff will not remove my wish list items from another cart just because I asked them to?
    Sourabh: Welcome (redacted).
    Someone is not eligible to edit someone’s cart.
    Me: Thanks very much for your time–have a good afternoon!
    Sourabh: Have a great day too.
    Is there anything I can help (redacted)?
    Me: You answered my question, thanks again 🙂

  1783.         W.P thank you I was just checking in. I have decided I am just going to cross my fingers and hope they are on the way. I am going to have faith in humanity and assume they are on the way and that no one would do that to people. I will say thank you for being someones elf/angel I am sure they appreciate all you did for them. Merry Christmas

    (Looking back at your comments it looks like someone bought you the mittens on the 14th and you recieved them on the 17th so it took 3 days to get to you. You said your other stuff wasn’t bought until the evening of the 16th so if your mittens took 3 days then your stuff shouldn’t get there until today at the earliest. Mail can be slow this time of year. Even buying stuff on Prime things can be slow to arrive. ~ Jenny)

  1784. I’m not going to further muddy up this board on this issue. There are still folks who are asking for help and I don’t want them to be drowned out due to unnecessary posts.

    I hope that people who truly do still need assistance can be helped.

  1785. Dear lord Why is this so hard to explain. Ok last week I put 3 toys in my list 2 were purchased on Friday only the doll bed remained. I added the 2 pairs of boots and the pair of tennis shoes and the sensory sock as needed items. All 4 showed purchased at the same time (doll bed, boots,shoes and sock) when the bed was deliverer I called amazon to find out the dates the others would arrive (I live in a large connected community) they said they are not showing the boots , shoes or sock as purchased and only the bed was paid for when they were all added to the cart. Long story short someone put my entire wishlist in their cart and only paid for the doll bed. They told me on the phone (I have the email as well as the recorded call) that whoever put the doll bed, boots, shoes and sock in their cart didn’t pay for 3 of the items. I asked why it showed as purchased and they said if 1 item is paid and the others held back that it will show that way. The supervisor released the unpaid items from THE PURCHASERS CART and put them back into my wish list. Again here is the email if you want the recorded call send me your email and I will be happy to send it. I honestly can’t get more clear than that. The toys are all here at my house the boots, shoes ,sock were not paid for by the purchaser who purchased the bed. They are back on my wishlist so it can be fulfilled. If you would like I can call amazon with you on 3 way and you will see ONLY the 3 toys on my list we’re actually purchased in full and delivered.

  1786.         Sourub (or whoever you chatted with) DID NOT personally go into MY account to see the issue. A supervisor who has more access did go into my account and I have the email and recorded call to prove it. I need help just like everyone else and have made calls to prove it. If you don’t want me to send it to you to prove it that is on you but just because your not understanding what I’m explaining to you word for word doesn’t mean I’m less worthy of help than everyone else. Had you let me send you the proof earlier this would have been cleared up instead you post your text conversation with an “agent” who had no access to my account. I posted an email of the supervisor stating that only 1 item out of the 4 was paid for by the person who put it in their cart and put the other it the “save this for later” pile. The items are needed just as badly as everyone else’s lists and  it’s very unfair for you to think otherwise when I have been on calls and email all day trying to figure out what’s going on. Thank you though for making me feel like crap since I already can’t provide enough for my kids working 2 jobs. No worries I’ll delete my list and you won’t hear from me again. I sent proof to Jenny of the email and the recording. But whatever I’ve been beating myself up all day trying to explain this and for no reason at all. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas since this person thinks my list is no more relevant then everyone else’s. Jenny if you could please delete my comments. My family isn’t worthy because someone decided to put the items in their cart and not pay for them and somehow that’s my fault.

    (I think a lot of people are confused because the email you shared from Amazon says that only one of the five things on your wishlist was purchased, but there are three things purchased and four things unpurchased. I think what you are saying is that all three of your presents – the toys – from your first wishlist were fulfilled and you have received them. You added to your wishlist on Friday and you thought those items were purchased but somehow they weren’t. They are listed as unpurchased on your current list. Is that right? ~ Jenny)

  1787. Yes Jenny.. that’s Exactly what I’m trying to say. Thank you. I was trying to get the words out and I’m just frustrated. It’s so close to Christmas and this happenend and I’m trying to be super mom and I’m only making it worse. I’m sorry but yes that’s exactly what im trying to say. 😔

  1788. Jenny- Thank you that’s what I am hoping. I just saw the other posts about people not getting theirs so I was worried. I am hopeful that they will eventually arrive. I have faith that they will. This group has been so exciting and faith full filling for me. That there are so many people out there willing to help strangers. Even if nothing else arrives My little guy got his mittens thanks to one of those strangers. I encourage others to have faith and understanding no matter what happens. Angels are out there and so are elves. Thank you for organizing this every year (my first year so I am in awe). Those of us that are helped either completely or just a little bit are truly thankful and blessed.

  1790. Original Post #474 Here

    OMGEEEE!!! I literally cried!! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to those who helped bless my daughters this Christmas! They are going to be sooo excited!! I was sooo worried about Christmas this year, but this site full of such amazing people has been relief to my anxiety and depression that has been consuming me this holiday season.

    I cannot say THANK YOU enough!! Whoever you are, where ever you are…THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! God bless you!!

    Merry Christmas!!!

  1792. My neighbor has given us a whole bag of clothing for my sister. Luckily can fit a majority. She told me not to worry about her and focus on Little Naty Bug, so that’s what I’m going to do. I took off a lot of “add-on” items. I added a few more outfits and some other things she need. I also added a Christmas tree and ornaments, wrapping paper and more because we don’t have any of that stuff and like I said I don’t get paid until next week (bummer). I don’t expect any of those items to be bought though. I honestly don’t expect anything to be bought, but we would really appreciate it. Our town doesn’t offer much help and that sucks, we just have a Care n Share that’s only opened two days a week, if that. I just want to make them happy since they have been through so much, but I can’t do that alone. My sister just turned 18 about to graduate high school. He didn’t want her to leave him with the baby that day to go to school and that is what cause the whole thing, which is pretty pathetic. She’s an amazing mother. Everything she does, she does for her baby girl. Tonight, I gave her some space and I took Naty Bug to church with me. Yes, I gave her my cell because I have my work phone with me if she needed anything. If anyone can help in any kind of way, I would really appreciate. I want to bring them as much happiness as I can.

    Candice Alamogordo nm I have 2 kids Geffrey and serenity I was wondering how thi worked I did post on the 13 th but relised that I did exceed the limit . I was doing the order off of a phone and I must have not realized some things that were priced different. im honestly not trying to get more or anything I broke my foot and had been out of work .. managed but its been hard my brother told me about this. I am hoping it goes through I really appreciate this and please let me know if I did this right. im blessed to have had this opportunity please and thank you candice

  1795. Hi Candice 3794–The Lego set shows that it will probably arrive after Christmas. Is this OK, or do you want to choose something else? Let me know and I’ll send it your way. 🙂

  1796. jz thank you I appreciate it so much that is perfect !!!! my babies will be so happy after Christmas is perfect just thankfull I am so blessed god bless n thank you im in tears cant wait to be able to give back….

  1799. I hope this is ok to post, I don’t know what else I could possibly do.
    My son received his limit worth of gifts earlier this week, but it turns out I should have just asked for food.
    We live in a rural area with a food bank only every two weeks and not till next Thursday, and I have almost nothing to feed my 4 year old boy. He’s on the spectrum and extremely picky.
    Usually we can make it just barely but I spent every dime I had on presents for him (my fault, I know)
    Anyway I tried to find some food things on amazon that my son would actually eat, I don’t expect anyone to get anything, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask. It genuinely would go to feeding my son and I honestly don’t know who else to ask.
    Thank you either way, for everyone that has already been helped and all the kids that will be so happy on Christmas 🙂
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1TF8AGLMW2UWN

  1800. Hi Candice–The Legos and the marker set are on the way. The markers should be there by the 22nd. Merry Christmas to you and your little ones!!

  1801. Funny I just looked at the conversation between an agent and a person who had no access to my account nor asked the issue of the question at hand. You asked if someone could edit someone else’s cart when I NEVER SAID THAT. I stated someone put 5 items in their cart to purchase from MY WISHLIST. They only purchased 1 thing and put the others in “ save for later” . The guy barely understood your question and said it shows purchased when someone places the order. If someone’s card doesn’t pay for the entire order or they place items in saved for later it will still show up as purchased under my wish list because they are “waiting” to be purchased. I never said I could edit someone’s cart. I said the items that were not paid for by the person who paid for 1 item and not all 5 in the list were taken from placed back on my wishlist because the person never paid for them. So by you asking the wrong question and speaking to someone who had no access to my account and are basically disregarding what the real question and email was about and answered by a team supervisor no one is going to purchase the items I have. Thank you so much for making our Christmas great. Have a good night.

  1803. Brittany – Some food is on the way. It should arrive on Friday. Hope this helps.

  1804. Let’s take a moment to thank all the people that spent there own money on others. A lot of kids are going to be super happy. Stop trying to fight with others and just be happy for what you did get. People are making it hard for others to help. This is about the kids, sorry some of y’all didn’t much or none at all but just think there are going to be kids out there opening gifts. Doesn’t that make you happy? Even if your kid didn’t get much or nothing at all. God has a plan for all of us, just be happy you have kids and keep being the best parent to them. All they want is your love. Let’s not be the reason Jenny stops this, your ruining it for everyone. No matter what be happy!!!

  1807. Trying this again, tonight, in case anybody else out there is still looking to help out.
    My kids’ wishlist – http://a.co/izIs92u
    These are warm clothing needs added last Friday. The coats are by far the most sorely needed items, as all three kids have outgrown and/or worn out their old ones. A mystery elf bought a coat for my eldest daughter (and thank you again, whoever you are!) a few days ago, but my son and younger daughter haven’t had the same luck yet.

    Thanks again to all who’ve helped make Christmas a little brighter for so many families this year!

  1808. Hi Anonymous 3798: A couple of the items on your list wouldn’t arrive until after Christmas–should I still send Candyland,and the dinosaur nightlight?

  1809. I’m sorry I am proving the lies that are being told on me . My kids list wasn’t filled because someone felt the need to say I did something I didn’t do and because of that person people have not purchased what was left. There was someone earlier who was going to help and didn’t because of the person saying false things and that’s unfair. I want that person to know and everyone else to know I have no reason to lie and have been on calls all day balling my eyes out trying to prove something just so my kids will have a few things under the tree. I’m sorry I am a mother that will go through whatever lengths for her children’s happiness including swallowing my pride and making calls all day making sure people know the truth. I now have 2 emails from amazon proving the items were never purchased after someone put them in their cart and decided not to pay for them and then got told I was a liar saying they was purchased when the email I have clearly shows they were Not. I’m sure no one will buy them because of that person. Hopefully next time this person will know facts instead of blaming someone for something that was clearly not my fault. I hope one day this person is never in the position I am in and has to go through what I have today just to give a few things to her kids. Have a good night everyone and sorry for ruining everyone’s night because this person lied and I proved them 100% false . I’m doing this for my children just like everyone else.

    I’m sorry everyone and Thank you to everyone who did help me atleast be able to give 1 gift to my kids this year. No parent should have to struggle to provide for their kids but unfortunately bills have become higher than wages and no one can get assistance if they are working because they say “you make too much” when you can barely survive.

  1813. Marina 349 – I saw that 2/3 of the kids were overlooked. I had to choose a different pen set because the one on your list was out of stock for Prime. The other two girls’ gifts are supposed to arrive Christmas Eve – fingers crossed!

    Gautier, Ms

    I have a little girl named Caylee. She is 6 years old and she loves my little pony. I am a single mother and I still live with my mom and dad. My dad is in the hospital. He has cancer. It started in his liver and moved to his pancreas. idk if i spelled that right or not. but i haven’t been able to focus on christmas because of this. i hate to bother my mom because she has a lot on her plate right now. we all do. :'( I didn’t know whether to put the wish list below or above this so i put it above.

  1815. Hi #3798: The night light and the game will arrive around the 27th, but I hope they might ship sooner. Everything else should be there by the 23rd. 🙂
    Merry Christmas and best wishes to you and your family!

  1816. My local salvation army helped with a couple items but I still have a couple on the wishlist but removed the ones the salvation army helped with. Thanks and I hope I can get a prayer granted. Serine23 did get them the board game and I’m grateful, thank you. Org posts 2850, 3119 and 3260.

    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2P1M9LS3CJFA0

  1817. I don’t know why my last post #3765 came up anonymous but it’s me. I want to say thank you so much to the angel who purchased two of the items on my list. The cards are going to provide my son and daughters with hours of fun and the jacket will keep my daughter warm especially in my vehicle that has no heat what so ever.

    Torrance, I’m so sorry that happened to you too. I’m glad you received your gifts from your first list though.

    I can’t believe someone would intentionally do this so I’m questioning if maybe our angels/ Angel’s cards were flagged for fraud especially if they made too many purchases and this is why it happened?

    Amazon didn’t tell me much at all when I called about my list. I personally wouldn’t want the bad karma that would come from lying.. It’s not my thing… I swallowed my pride posting here for help and honestly I’m so grateful this event exists.. This was the first time I’ve ever participated in something like this. I am truly touched by all the wonderful people who came to help and make this event possible. Everyone even the volunteers who poured their hearts and souls in to the master list to make sure no family was left behind.

    A lot of times with everything going on in life I truly feel alone in this world filled with millions of people but this opened my eyes and made me realize that I’m not alone and ppl truly do care. I can’t wait until I’m in a position to give back in the future…I look forward to it. I will never forget this or the kindness showed here. I hope things work out for both of us and I hope your family has a Merry Christmas. Don’t forget to post and keep us updated. Take care

  1818. I did notice someone finally replied to one of my post thank you I didn’t realize it was a total of $35 / list I thought it was each item under $35 I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I was very confused, I don’t know what to say and I don’t know what to do I was depending on this for a couple gifts for my children. I understand most of you are done shopping I hope you have a very Merry Christmas .
    I will kick myself however in the butt for Miss understanding one simple thing, ( however some people here seem to be getting an awful lot of gifts). If anybody’s doing any last-minute shopping my post is number is 3713.. I have an eight year old who still believes in Santa and we have no gifts….Ahhh

  1819. I posted last night and it cut off some of the info I tried to put in- my computer does silly things sometimes. I am re-linking my list- not so concerned about toys and such but the jackets would be super nice to have. Thank you to everyone who has been so good to others! I try to teach this to my kids as well.

    http://a.co/1QPYHT6

  1822. I hope the ones that decide to buy gift this year for others, know that y’all are truly amazing! Thank you Jenny for hosting this, y’all have made a lot of kids happy!!

  1824.         Hi everyone. I originally posted at 44 and all 4 items were purchased from the wishlist on 12/10. I never saw anyone take responsibility directly but I know that at least two different people made the purchases. By 12/15 nothing had arrived so I contacted Amazon and the representative told me that there was a technical issue that would be resolved within a few hours. I didn't ask for more details bc I figured he couldn't tell me much anyway since I wasn't the purchaser. About two days later on 12/17 the Melon Farm lego set arrived. Nothing else came so today I contacted Amazon again and the lady I spoke with said all items showed as delivered. She couldn't have them replaced because they came from third party sellers BUT she said she is going to submit a request to have the order refunded. SO, whoever made those purchases, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened and I've never had an order stolen from my home before so I really didn't expect something like that. I don't know when the refund will happen, but the cost of the purchases should be returned to you.

    (So frustrating when that happens. Your original post asked for so little so I went in and sent you the color drops and bathtub soaps again. Hopefully it’ll get there by Xmas. 🙂 The lego set was out of stock. ~ Jenny)

  1825.         <pre><code>        Okay, so this is embarrassing. I texted my husband to let him know that the items had evidently been stolen and he asked if I had checked the mailbox. It was three items and I was assuming they could not possibly fit in the mailbox. Long story short, they were in the mailbox. So now I am taking to Amazon to try to explain that I do really stupid things and that the items that were to be refunded actually were 100% received. I'm sorry guys. If one of you does get a refund, know that the items did make it here and it was 100% a screw up on my part.

    (No worries! You were under the limit anyway so enjoy the extra kid’s bath supplies. 🙂 ~ Jenny)

  1826. Oh Jenny, you don’t have to do that. I literally just let those things sit in the mailbox for better than a week and it never even occurred to me. They are most definitely here and most definitely in the mailbox.

  1828. Just looking for a little clarification, I thought some one had gifted my children with their wish list. I called amazon as one member stated. When I called to verify when the package would be shipped and was told they were never bought. Its very distrubing when it was stated that they would receive gifts. In no way do I feel the Secret Santa in obligated by no means. I would have just rather it not been said that they were purchased. Sad mom over here, I feel awful. If anyone could tell me if this has happened before or what could have happened I would gladly appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance and have a Merry Christmas!

  1829. I just called amazon about the items on my wishlist. They told me that they were never completed. There is no order for the items on my wish list but they are showing purchased. I would rather someone just not grant it then to say it is on the way. Now its too late really to do anything. I was #1428 my email is noahtractor@yahoo.com if anyone can help. this was my link and it still shows purchased.
    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/4U3JD0NF1CIY?&sort=default

  1830. I just posted I was #1428, Amazon is telling me that someone just reserved them but never completed the order. why would someone do that. If I knew I couldnt grant a wish, I wouldnt put it in my cart. I mean we will still make the best of Christmas, it just upsets me that people would be that way especially when kids are involved.

  1831. It’s almost fb ristmas everyone!!! I want to say thank you to whoever purchased the gifts for my babies I’m so excited. I’ve not received them yet or found any post from anyone saying they were the angel that done it but you are appreciated more then you will ever know! I do have one more huge favor yo ask of anyone would possibly be able to I placed a ratchet set on my list for my husband I was really hoping to have the extra money to get him a small gift this year but im not goin to be able to. If love to he able to surprise him with it he’s been talking about them for months. My husband works his was off for us and never complains he’s a veteran that spent over a year in Afghanistan protecting us and he’s my hero. If anyone would be able to help a wife out of be forever grateful! Anyone that wants to contact me is more then welcome to at tjwalters15@gmail.com. anyone that reads this and is considering helping me out you can ignore the other items I added 5o my list it was just a few other small things I had added
    Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/14WBTJKMFG4GR

  1832. Hi, this is Taka and my original list was #1495. My children’s Christmas list was fulfilled and I am truly grateful, so I’m really embarrassed to be back. I just knew we were all set but I’ve realized that my 1-year-old (17-month-old) daughter is almost completely out of diapers. I ordered diapers for her from the Honest Company when I was still pregnant, cases from size 1 one up to size 5, and just knew I still had a pack or two left. However, we have about 3 in the house. Please take care of all the other people here that still need to make Christmas happen for their children. However, if there are any resources available, please help my daughter with size 5 diapers. I found a cheap pack for $7.99 and just need enough to get through until after Christmas when my husband gets paid again but we don’t even have the money to get them. Thank you <3

  1833. Originally 2811, I’m seeing quite a few people having a problem with Amazon saying wishlists are reserved but not purchased. I’m unfortunately having the same response from them. Maybe its a mistake in the system. I have to hope that. I want to thank the Angels and Elves who have helped so many children, it’s truly beautiful.

  1837. Amazon also told me a few items on my wishlist were never purchased. I panicked and took their word as gold. Today I came home and found my daughters one item sitting on my porch… no box or anything but it arrived and doesn’t appear to be damaged so I’m honestly starting to think Amazon is so flooded with orders that they are overwhelmed and don’t know what they are doing. The only item left on my wish list right now is a coat and that was not apart of my original wishlist… It was an item added on after I received a phone call from the school nurse the other day about my daughter. I know its hard but try to have a little faith that the items are coming. I know it’s upsetting but I hate to see anyone arguing or making rude comments about the situation. So many people went out of their way to make this possible and so many families were helped and will have presents under the tree because of this. It truly is amazing. Thank you Jenny and everyone else who made this possible. I’m hoping to come back and share pictures of my children opening their gift on Christmas morning. I want you all to see it too. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and God bless.

  1838. MomOf6InPA
    I’m glad you got your items. FYI, sometimes amazon won’t use a box if the item they’re shipping is already inside a box. I once ordered a hairdryer and amazon didn’t bother to put it inside a box. They just put the shipping label on the original manufacturers box. Itwas odd. It’s random how they do it. I guess they do have an option while you’re checking out to select whether you want it in a box or not. It’s totally random. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that Amazon does this sometimes.
    Happy holidays!

  1839. Thank you, angel #3835. <3 I have a few disposable bed pads, so if I have to turn some into diapers, I can make due until they arrive. Thanks again for your kindness and generosity.

  1841. Anon, The weird part is there is no label or anything lol. Anyways I don’t even care I’m simply over the moon it is here 🙂 … same to you:)

  1842. I have two great kids. Tee who’s still my baby after 15 years, and a help at home and with his sister. He’s almost a straight A student and a budding scientist. My daughter Anita is 7 and loves babies, swimming and has a fierce personality. She doesn’t take anything from me, her brothers or her father! Over 5 years ago my husband was shot in his back by a stranger while walking to work. Because we lost our sole provider, we ended up homeless for several years. Things are better now but still tight financially. I provide home care for my husband and it’s harder to get extras like presents and birthday gifts. I’ve copied our list and regardless of anything, we’ll be ok. We have each other and a home filled with love. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and your loved ones.

  1843. Kristen in Kent England – you have at least an item for each kid (one toy for twins to share) coming to you, and some treats that will straggle in, post Christmas. I had an old Amazon UK account to get a book (Harry Potter? Steig Larsson?) that was released in England earlier than US, and so I was all set up! Yay!!
    Stay strong, remember that we are pulling for you, and may 2019 be the year of good changes for you and your family.

    Chopped list down. took things off that I was buying when I get paid next week! Right now, I’m at the ER with my sister. She keeps vomiting and said she can’t hold anything down. Will update everyone once we leave this place.

    Naty Bug got to see Santa tonight at church. Not a good pic, but we got one!

    ***Sister is pregnant again. Idk how it’s possible after having a baby 4 months ago, but there you go, plus she has depression. She doesn’t know what she wants to do, but I assured her we will figure it out.

    Just need a few prayers sent our way!

  1845. Hi,
    I don’t no if anyone looks on here’s any more or if there is any more Angela’s but i figured it don’t hurt to try. My family is having a hard time right now trying to get Back on our feet after a high risk pregnancy. Went to the food pantry yesterday and almost all items where expired from 2017 thru July 2018 and i Just feel bad giving that to my kids. If anyone can help with some snacks i would be for ever great full.

    Thank you

  1846. Comment #2050 here: An FYI to whoever generously purchased item(s) from my wishlist: None of the items have arrived. I contacted Amazon today to find out what happened. They cannot help me without an order number from the person who purchased the items for my 1 year old & 10 year old. If you were someone who purchased an item on behalf of my boys, please contact Amazon to correct the issue (if there is one–I don’t know).

    All I know is that there are no scheduled deliveries for me at this time.

    This is my wishlist link: http://a.co/82lx1xu

    Thank you.

  1847. Hi, I was just told about this a few moments ago on FB… But I’m not quite sure I understand where should I ask for help, or post a wish list… My husband’s debit card got canceled by his job HR and we cannot access his pay they also delayed his pay until next year because they have issues with the bank… In the meantime we can’t buy anything for my kid or my niece both 4 year old… May I ask if there’s still time for someone to help us? 😔 I feel terrible about this… But I would hate to see my kid not be able to open any gifts 😔
    Thanks in advance

  1850. My name is Virginia.. I’m a single mom that is not working due to my 4 year old daughter which has SPD and Autism she has Therapy 6 days a week.. This year been really hard on both of us on money… Christmas this year would be hard.. If anyone can send something for my little girl.. There only 3 things she really would like.. If you can we would really appreciate It ..

  1851. After reading the last few comments it’s safe to say I wasn’t the only one and I was accused of making things up and that people not purchasing items they pulled from my list didn’t exist. People put the items in my wish list and never purchased them. I’m hoping there are still people out there who can help. Here is my list of items I had posted last Friday. Please if anyone can still help these are very much needed items . https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NAA251NTN3AB

  1852. Virginia @3850.
    Both the stuffed dog and the puzzle wouldn’t arrive until after Christmas. Also, gift cards aren’t allowed as per Jenny’s rules.
    I found this bear that still available and that can be delivered to you by Sunday. Would it work? It’s similar to the dog, it was in the similar items section.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HPYL4HQ/ref=sspa_mw_detail_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&th=1
    If the bear works I can ship that to you. If not, I can get the dog or the puzzles for your kid but it would arrive after xmas.

  1853. I’m sure this is WAY too late but the lady I work for just told me about ya’ll. I don’t have a sad story or traumatic event that has brought me here. I’m just a hard working single mommy with twin boys that are 8 and a 2 year old. I bust my butt to do it on my own. I don’t have family local so it’s just me and my boys and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! I work at a small group home and get to bring my kids with me. We get here on Thursday and stay until Saturday around the clock. My twins are a couple of the sweetest kiddos you could meet. We are still trying to figure out what the 2 year olds deal is because he is NOT sweet and to be quite honest he’s quite the little ass! But if there are any people left we would be extremely grateful! The boys chose to buy for the guys instead of each other so they each have a gift from me and that’s going to be it so far. I know I should be glad I can at least give them 1 but I feel like they deserve the world (minus the little one, he doesn’t deserve jack! 😂😂😂)

  1855. My BFF lost her oldest step son last fall, to heroine. Their family has been falling apart ever since. no one knew he even did drugs let alone heroine it was so sudden and unexpected. I didn’t realize how behind they were on their finances. it seems they have all shut down. ease help me give this family a little extra light this Christmas.

    I realize how late it is, so I kept the list to games and books

    Gautier, Ms

    I have a little girl named Caylee. She is 6 years old and she loves my little pony. I am a single mother and I still live with my mom and dad. My dad is in the hospital. He has cancer. It started in his liver and moved to his pancreas. idk if i spelled that right or not. but i haven’t been able to focus on christmas because of this. i hate to bother my mom because she has a lot on her plate right now. we all do. 😥 I didn’t know whether to put the wish list below or above this so i put it above.

  1858. Hey Torrance, can you help me try to replicate your problem? Things that aren’t purchased shouldn’t show up as purchased but if they do then that’s an issue I need to be aware of. Can you take a look at my example wishlist below and try to reserve the Moana book or put it in your cart and see if it shows up as purchased? I did it myself and it shows as unpurchased but maybe it works differently if someone else does it. Thanks so much for your help! ~ Jenny

  1859. I know its late, but my kiddos would really appreciate having new warm jackets this year 🙂 I have posted before but i think it keeps getting lost in the shuffle of the conversations. I am a teacher and spend a good amount on my school kiddos who may not otherwise get things they need, which leaves me not a whole lot for my own kids. Any help would be super appreciated 🙂

  1860. There jenny. I put it in my cart. Did it change anything? Ill try buying it because my prepaid visa has zero on it anyways. See what happens when the cards declined

  1861. Bailey, did you buy it or just put it in your cart? It shows as purchased but if you bought it that would make sense. Can you try putting one of the other things in your cart but not buying it?

  1862. K hold on i purchased it and it went through and i panicked cuz it cost 37 bucks so i cancelled it lol. Let me try again ok

  1863. Okay, the Moana book showed as being purchased right after Bailey said she was going to put it on her declined visa but a few minutes later it showed back up as unpurchased on my list, which is how it’s supposed to work. I’m trying to see if there is any way to make it look purchased when it really hasn’t been but I can’t get that to work. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks!

  1864. K theyre in my cart. Havent purchased them though now. Also, it said those moana books went through but i am certain i have nothing on my visa… im going to call it back and see if there’s money on it after i cancelled. If there isnt ill buy it again and see what happens cuz maybe ppl are buying presents without knowing there cards maxed out so the purchases are showing up as paid but not shipped cuz theres actually no money on the card?

  1865. Bailey – $37?! That’s nuts. But I’m pretty sure it was cancelled because it showed as purchased for just a few minutes and then a few minutes later it was put back on “unpurchased” which is the way it’s supposed to work if an order is cancelled.

    It’s still showing as unpurchased even with it in other people’s carts which is how it’s supposed to work. There shouldn’t be a way to mark something as purchased unless it is actually purchased. The only issue though is that it may have been purchased but then sent to another person’s address. If I buy something from a cart and they don’t have an address and I don’t delete their stuff from my cart and then go to buy something from another person’s cart and didn’t double-check what I was sending at checkout I could send the first batch of gifts and the second to the second person. I’m not sure if it takes the gifts off and marks it as “purchased” since it doesn’t go to the right address but it’s possible. It’s really rare though and unintentional. I just want to make sure that no one has the option to intentionally mess up a wishlist and I think we maybe proved that they can’t? If I’m missing something let me know. Thanks!

  1866. We’re writing to let you know that your order has been successfully canceled. In most cases, you pay for items when we ship them to you, so you won’t be charged for items that are canceled.*

  1867. Anonymous 3855, the book and a couple games are on the way and are said to arrive on the 23rd. I am so sorry for your friends son, but I’m so glad that you are watching out for them.

    Jenny, I’ve been doing this for a few years and I always read your blog as it’s saved me a couple of times.
    I’m sorry to say that this is the last year for me to do this. The “master list” moderators made me feel awful. The comments made me feel awful. And some of us felt that it was a mistake to implement that. I’m glad that it was successful in the most important way, but strangers taking over and acting on your behalf feels wrong to me.
    Sadly there there plenty of other places desperate for help, so I’ll go “volunteer there!” (as I was told)
    Take care.

  1868. I think my comment got buried and I didn’t offer any commentary towards it. I’m a single mother to a 5,6,9,12,13,15,17 and 2 month old. I’m panicked because they don’t ask for much but we had some emergency expenses with out 13 year old with a mental health related crisis which is very expensive. I just want them to each have one thing to open. It’ll kill me if they don’t. You’re all so generous. And thank you for even taking the time to read this. . Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/191X5J8K26N6E

  1869. I was on the phone with Amazon for over an hour yesterday. They told me that when an item is put in a cart from the wishlist that it marks it as purchased on the wishlist wether the transaction was completed or not. He also told me there is no way to put it back on the wishlist unless the person takes it back out of their cart. I just cant beleive people are doing this to kids. I was #1428 if you have any questions. All the items on my list except for wipes were done that way. Noahtractor@yahoo.com

  1870. Hello I’m original post #1934 i just called amazon to check on the stuff that says has been purchased on my list … and I’m so disappointed that someone can do this … they told me that only one thing was actually purchased from my list which was a football that I have received … everything else was just put on reserve … nothing else was purchase … I’m so sad that my kids won’t have anything to open for Xmas since I was really praying and hoping that this was real.. This is really sad that someone just when in there and put items on reserve to make us think that they had purchased our items…

  1871. Edited to add, amazon was able to still see it sitting in the persons cart that claimed it. They never completed the order. #1428

  1874. Hi. Check out this list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/VXTDA1N2F0A9

    thank you to the kind soul who purchased some toys for my friend. It will be a a wonderful surprise for her.

    If anyone could send their family one of the team building games that would be helpful for their family, as they could really use some help bringing their family together again. It breaks my heart to see them like this.

    Merry Christmas

  1875. To the Mom in Kent, England: your peanut butter should arrive today! It looks like someone else got some of the other items on your list, too, so each kid should have one item, plus there is some shared stuff on the way. Your kids clearly have a good mother – that is the best gift you’re giving them. Stay strong and keep making your plan. 2019 will be better!!! ❤️

  1876. Hoodies and corgi arrived all together! Just delayed a bit. With a special gift for me too something I did not ask for but oh oh oh do I appreciate. I am in tears. Thank you!
    Don’t give up hope folks some of the mail is moving slow. Lots of cheer being sent out!
    -Genevieve

  1878. Erin – One gift will be arriving…but after Christmas. Expedited shipping still puts it at Dec 26th or after. Sorry that you will have to construct a “Santa was delayed” story. Best wishes to you and your family for a happier and healthier 2019.
    – Santa’s Sluggish Helper

  1880. Jenny, you’ve done so much troubleshooting that I think Amazon could hire you, now. And then…employee discount?? 😉
    Thank you for going to all of the trouble. You take the bug out of humbug (and leave the hum!)

  1881.         I don’t know if this will offer any clarification on the Amazon issue (or if I’m only making things worse) but I placed a large order on Amazon last week, primarily for items on my sister’s wish list; my card was charged for the first few things that went out, but then the card issuer flagged the transactions as possibly being fraudulent (probably because it was a large order being sent to a different address). I received an email and a text from Amazon saying that I needed to update my payment information, but I was traveling and it took me a day or two to call and confirm everything with the bank. Before I updated the payment info with Amazon, though, I went back to check my sister’s list to make sure that during the two days that had passed, nobody had purchased any of the items I’d attempted to buy earlier - turns out, Amazon had NOT returned those items to her list, because they were still considered “ordered” pending my updated card info. Once I re-authorized Amazon to run the card, the “original” order shipped.

    I don’t know if Amazon would have ultimately canceled my order for non-payment or if the stuff would have just sat there in limbo for eternity, but it’s entirely possible that something like that happened here; people used bad cards or they were flagged for possible fraud, and they simply don’t know or haven’t updated their payment information. In any event, i can see how it could happen in a non-devious way. Hell, if I hadn’t re-authorized the card, my sister’s list would have looked empty and everyone else would have assumed everything had been purchased.

    That’s probably clear as mud, but I did want to point out that there are many potentially innocent explanations here. And while I don’t fully understand the frustrations of those who are critical of the moderators (and I don’t want to minimize those concerns), from my perspective as a purchaser, they did a wonderful job, and made it a lot easier for me to find families whose modest requests had been lost in the thousands of comments. I really appreciate their volunteering, and for offering a streamlined way for us to help.

    Happy holidays!

    (I think this scenario seems very possible. It’s easy to use an expired credit card saved on your amazon account and not realize that the items didn’t send if you haven’t checked your email. Frustrating, but innocent. Hopefully any people who notice this issue can remedy the payment and have the items go through. ~ Jenny)

  1883.         This happen to my order too. It says purchased but nothing has came. I just wanted to let whoever know. It’s ok it’s the thought that counts.

    (FYI…Amazon has been a bit late on some deliveries so it’s very possible that it’s just taking longer than expected. When I look through the pages of orders I sent out I can see that a lot that should have arrived in 1-2 days are taking longer. Things I bought on the 15th didn’t get delivered in some states for 5 days. Some states were almost overnight. 🙂 ~ Jenny)

  1884. Virginia Cano @3850.
    I just sent the dog to your daughter. I love dogs too. It should arrive by dec 27th. If you have any issues, please leave a message in this board. I will come back and check on the 28th to make sure you got it. Happy holidays!

  1885. I know this is very late, but I’ve put a few prime things on the list for my 16 year old daughter. She’s pretty isolated at the moment as she’s having a tough time in school. She’s recently been isolated from a group she’s in because she’s not ‘cool’ so could use a little niceness. Thank you.

    This is UK so I understand if there’s not anyone who can help. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3VHI2HCYPC8Q4/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

  1886. So the kids that I baby sit mother is in the hospital giving birth to her twins (boy/girl). Her husband is overseas so she’s all alone this Christmas. Neither will be home for Christmas and they have no family here, so the kids will be doing Christmas with us and I’m glad to have them. I have nothing for them to open, and I have no money to buy them anything. She’s been on bed rest for about a month now and not able to do Christmas shopping. I’m adding them a few things each on the wish list (hoodie and something they will like) and a few things she will need for the now babies and one thing for her. I’m thinking about taking the kids to the hospital on Christmas to open gifts with their mom if it’s allowed. I want them all to have a great Christmas.

  1888. The gifts that I bought that were returned still showed purchased even after Amazon redunded me. Don’t know if that helps.

  1889. @Jenny original post #1934 i want to thank you for everyrhing that you do to make Xmas happen for those of us that are struggling, and thank you to all the elfs that help her make kids happy around this time of the year … we the parents really appreciated . I do pray that Amazon is taking long to updated some purchases because when I called they told me that yes someone was going to purchase it but never did they just reserved it in there account so in there system it shows that nothing was bought…

  1890. I can not thank you angels enough for helping my family with food. I was post 3845 i went to sleep praying for something to come thru and i woke and was in shock didn’t think i would get anything thank you allll so much merry Christmas and happy new year.

  1892. Originally comment 2811, I’ve been emailing amazon customer service. They keep repeating the same information which ultimately ends with my list not being purchased. I should get another email back about why and how that happened. Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding, but as of today I haven’t received anything.
    Here is one of the emails I copied and pasted from my inbox

    Hello,

    I understand your concern regrading the wish list. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll be happy to help.

    Upon checking the details, I see that the items from your wish list are not purchased by someone, however they are reserved.

    If a friend or family member indicates that they are buying an Amazon item from your List, they will ‘reserve’ it, and it will be added to the purchased section in the gift-giver’s view so that others will know it is spoken for.

    Please don’t worry the items from your wish list are not purchased by anyone.

    If you still have any issue with the wish list then I request you to contact us via chat or phone so that we’ll be able explain it in a better way as per your doubts.

    I made this list for my sister’s kids. 3 year old boy, almost 6 year old girl and 7 year old boy. They are not having Christmas, I didn’t know things were so bad in her home and I’m not in a position to change that for them unfortunately. She was embarrassed to come on here asking for help. I know it’s very late but thought I would try anyway. Merry Christmas!

  1896. Words of encouragment you are ALL amazing parents
    OP#1869 updated 3341
    I never received an update on the gifts that were stated purchased :/ Which is totally fine I came here looking for help and unfortunately it wasn’t received or something fell though the cracks. Things happen and I get that, and as my grandmother used to say “you can’t miss something you never had”. This post is more so to all the parents that feel like a failure and sadden behind the gifts that were not received for your amazing children. I know it maybe a bit difficult to explain it to children especially little ones but its possible. Try to dwell on the thing we do have LIFE. Maybe you can plan out a Christmas schedule as I have for my little ones. I have a few old boxes laying around the house so I plan for us to do a Christmas puppet show. Also a Christmas themed talent show and Im still thinking of ideas. With that being said for whatever reason the gifts we did not received its still okay Christmas can still be amazing without the gifts. Head up parents chest out parent you are ALL worthy and awesome. And you deserve to smile on Christmas even if this is not what you expected!!

  1897. micky hello merry christmas i know this might be late or arrive late but would be so much a blessing Im reposted from the 14 th post 2087 jjust wanted to know if made master list reposted just today as 3895 spelling errors and my granddaughters age is 10 .. appreciate a response please and thank you

  1898. We are in desperate need of food. There was a paycheck mix up today and a scheduled payment came out twice with no resolution until wednesday the earliest. The local food pantries are closed until after Christmas. The food items on my list say they arrive Sunday or Monday. If anyone could help please- I’m panicking 😰 if anything please send positive energy our way

  1901. Thank you SO much to those who helped make my little girl’s christmas brighter. You guys are amazing.

  1902. Hi guys,
    So after being helped with my list for my girls christmas,which I am very thankful for as it means my girls have presents. My landlord told me they are selling so I will shortly be homeless with 2 Girls! I have made this list in case anyone would like to help with some supplies,cleaning supplies will be for cleaning the flat getting ready to leave otherwise I don’t get my money back,the current white goods are not mine so I will need my deposit back to buy these items eventually when I find somewhere else,laundry as I have piles of washing to do before we pack 🙁 a couple of treats for the girls drinks and sweets for over Xmas if anyone wishes to get them I’m sure you would make them very happy.

    I really didn’t want to do this but any help I can get right now I am forever greatful for. I would forever be in everyone’s debt.

    If for any reason this isn’t allowed please please let me know as I don’t want to upset anyone,my head is all over the place at the moment I’m so worried right on top of Christmas and having no money everything is stressful as it is.

    Thank you and merry Christmas

  1903. 3877: Your link is just going back to Amazon Prime Pantry. I don’t see the items you are asking for. Did you create a public wishlist? The blog post at the top of this page describes how to create a wishlist.

  1906. Hi,Serine23 and Jenny, I spoke with Amazon and they said the items were added to the cart but never purchased. Do you know what happened? A friend has been helping me try to figure this out and posting for me when I don’t have internet. Here’s my original post.

    Hi I’m Javon, a single mom of 4 awesome kids. I have 3 sons and a daughter and they light up my life. I’m on my own right now and things are hard. I do everything I can to keep things going and it’s not enough. We’d appreciate any help you can provide and be extremely grateful. Happy holidays and thank you!

  1908. 3877: Two of your items (the soup and toilet paper) are Add-on items – They can’t be purchased without spending a minimum amount. Can you replace those with something else?

  1909. (post 1869) So this is what happen the reason I never received gifts. Please read below may this will help other parents like myself.

    Carla: Hello, my name is Carla. Please give me a moment to review the previous correspondence.
    Me: yes
    Carla: Ok. I see that you are looking for the status of some wishlist items that appeared to be purchased but they were not. Is that correct?
    Me: yes that is correct
    yes they were purchased I’m looking for the shipped date
    Carla: It appears these items were reserved not purchased. When a guest visits your wish list they have the option to mark an item as purchased if they intend to purchase it from another retailer. The items will show as purchased on the wishlist so no one else will buy the same item and avoid the recipient from receiving duplicate gifts.
    All of the items on the list have been reserved by the same person.
    I have checked the account and no purchase has been made
    Me: how do i get those ties back on my list
    Carla: I can make them available again. Please give me a few moments.
    I don’t see any ties? Are you sure they are on this list?
    Me: what do you mean ties
    Carla: You said, “how do i get those ties back on my list”
    Me: No how do i get the items back on my wish list
    Carla: ok. I can put them. Just a moment.
    I have restored all of your items and removed the option to reserve items. So this will not happen again. Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Me: no thank you kindly
    Carla: You are very welcome. Have a great rest of your day!

  1911. Just coming back to say that 8 items that say they were purchased on my list were not purchased at all! I was wondering where the items were, because they’re all needs, so I called Amazon to check. Porch Pirates abound this time of year, and I got scared they had been stolen. Amazon confirmed that the items are marked as “reserved/purchased somewhere else,” which is so wrong to do, unless the person knows me personally. Amazon also confirmed this was done by the same person for all 8 items.

    I don’t know what to do! 🙁 I’m praying the person who did this was just waiting for some reason and is still intending to buy those needed things.

  1913. I think where the problem came in is that Amazon allows you to purchase things elsewhere, so it will take it off the list. One of the Reddit groups had problems with this issue too from what I heard, people were marking things are purchased on certain lists? Or its an Amazon glitch, which doesn;t help anyone get anything in time for Christmas. 🙁

    I had trouble with my CC company flagging my card for fraud, so I had to change the card when Amazon send out a notification, that seemed to take them an extra day to sort out, plus they seemed to be much slower this year on shipping, they were super fast earlier in the month.

  1914. 3877 – The toilet tissue you have listed is still an addon item. The ginger ale can’t be shipped to a wishlist address. The crackers are listed as not shipping until January 9th. If you can fix these issues, I will try again to send them.

  1915. Hi everyone, I am OP 2237 and wanted to come back and thank everyone who was so kind to give Christmas cheer to my children this year. Serine you are a sweetheart, thank you so much for your love and much more. I had seen everything had been purchased off my wishlist including the need for diapers and wipes. I was and still, am completely mind blown and blessed. I am not sure who ordered the Axe, diapers, and wipes but I was concerned that I had not received them when the other had come through. I had been getting notifications from Informed Delivery for USPS for the majority of items along with UPS for one shipment, all has been received other than the body spray, diapers, and wipes. I contacted Amazon and they did say that those had been purchased or reserved by the same person but they did not actually make the purchase. In which my hopes were that Amazon at the beginning of contact was to be sure the kind person who had decided to fulfill my last wish items knew they had not been received and either get their money back or the issue resolved. However, the agent was unable to contact the person as they did not have any way to do so since the order was not placed. I wanted to come back and give all my love and thanks in one big comment and include pics as well, which I still will once the big day comes! I am very blessed and grateful to everyone who has made Christmas possible for myself despite the other items not coming, my children have gifts they would not have had if this program was not available and full of loving people who genuinely care for others. Maybe the person who had originally planned to purchase those items will see this and know that I am just thankful for the consideration of their kind heart. I am definitely not upset in any way I just thought they may see this and maybe something is wrong on Amazon’s end or to at least know that I am very thankful to them for thinking of helping. The big day is 4 days away now and I also wanted to have the chance to wish everyone who was here on both ends a very Merry Christmas and another thank you. From me and my kiddos to you and yours I wish you the best holiday and wonderful things to come your way in the New Year!!! <3 Rachel

  1916. One item saying was purchased but it never came. It went to someone else address although i had my addresss posted. Weird.

  1917. Edit to my above posting. I contacted amazon for the tracking bcus there been reportings off porch pirates in my area. They gave it to me… and it was shipped to a different city.

  1918. Wow @ Lasha I am so sorry to hear the entire list of yours was done like that, I am #2237 and 3 items were marked as purchased or reserved too but not coming. I am honestly hoping this was not done intentionally to make lists shorter or by ill intentions. This really makes me sad, I was fortunate and my children did receive gifts already. That comment you copied has my post in there as well and I do not know what to think of it. I really hope someone would not do that to anyone purposely to 4 families. I love your spirit about the whole problem honestly and how you even reach out to those who also have the same issue to keep our heads up. I am just so saddened by it being your entire list. I will have to check back on here and hopefully see you here and maybe I have something I can do when I am financially able, this breaks my heart. The same for the others this has happened to. I was only missing 3 items, one a gift and the other 2 were always much-needed needs diapers and wipes for my now 4-year-old level 3 asd. I know no one is obligated to do any of this at all for us in need, I just wish I had seen or knew the diapers and wipes were never coming much earlier to have a head start on figuring out how to get them myself. As I look at what he has now and the money I do not have it does hurt. Lots of love to you I am so sorry this has happened, I honestly had no idea until after I had made my previous comment this happened to others here too. 🙁

  1919. Please disregard my post #3916 & 3917. I figured out what happened. Thank you for the lovely donar who purchased that one item and mistakenly put their address in lol. Thank you so much for the effort. 🙂

  1920. I talked to Amazon again, because I saw that someone else said their items could be marked unpurchased by a CSA, even if they’re “reserved” in someone’s cart. The nice gentlemen I spoke to dug deeper and found that the one person who did this for all EIGHT items went throut he entire process of marking them as “purchased somewhere else,” which involves giving Amazon their account information in the form AND responding to an email confirming they’ve purchased the items at another store. This was absolutely done in purpose! Why would anyone do this to desperate, struggling families? Three or four of the items were medical/anxiety needs for my daughter!

    This is beyond wrong!

    I had Amazon remove the option to mark anything on my account as “purchased somewhere else.” I cannot believe anyone would do this! Why go through all that trouble?

    You’ll see on my list that the unpurchased items show available, but still say “last purchased December 17, 2018.” That can’t be removed because the person confirmed to Amazon that they’d bought them at another store.

    Grrr.

    I am absolutely grateful for what was truly purchased and has arrived already. My husband is extremely happy with his work boots. Thank you again Brandee! (And the other elves that sent gifts for my girl!)

    http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1HBM5U5GHWJ6R

  1921. #3920 .. work boots? Is that your personal wishlist? It’s not labeled “James Garfield 2019”. I thought this program was for the kids with a limit of $35

  1924. I’m so frustrated with this and I’m sure many of you are too. It looks like some of you had the option of “Buying this elsewhere?” for your items (I’m not sure how or why…I don’t think that ever showed up on one of my lists that I’ve made so I don’t know how to tell you to remove that option?) and based on what I’m reading someone may have clicked on that and marked some items as purchased even though they weren’t. It seems like most of these were ones that happened later in the week so fingers crossed that not many people were affected. I’m sick about it and I wish there was a better answer than just that I’m really sorry. I’m not sure if it was someone messing with people on purpose, someone who didn’t know what they were doing, someone who thought they could get more if everyone else was taken care of…I don’t know. I hope it’s a rare issue though and I’m sorry for everyone who is disappointed. I try to remember that tons of people are helped but it’s easy to focus on bad stuff. I’m sorry.

  1925. http://www.walmart.com/lists/view-events-registry-items?id=5ad48343-30c7-40dc-a9ba-79c2c7e36407

    I don’t know if a Walmart registry is allowed or not, but I made one in hopes that someone can help me out. I have never ordered clothes or worn any clothing from Amazon, so I do not know how they fit. Anyways, I’ve been praying and praying that either my SO or I find a job soon. I have put in numerous of applications everywhere and I FINALLY got a call back! I have an interview set for next Friday!! I have no interview clothes whatsoever and no one to ask for help here and I hate to go up there looking a hot mess. Swear all I own are jeans, t shirts and a pair of converse lol. I tried to find some cheap things to wear to the interview hoping someone here could help me out. My bf check got cut in half again this week and that didn’t even cover the cost of our phone bill. SMH. So we’re totally broke. We’ve never been this bad off before, but I’m hoping I can get this job and make it a little better, I just need a little help. Granted there are other things on the list I really would love to get, but I really, really need some clothes to wear to this interview. They don’t even have to get here before Christmas. I just need them before next Friday. Will someone please help me out?

  1926. It looks like the “Buy elsewhere” thing was removed in May and then Amazon brought it back when people complained about it being gone, they just need a thing where you can allow it or not, I could not find how to turn mine “off” even though I am the only one who uses my lists so that I can find things again.

    It really sucks that some awful person decided to punish people for Christmas. 🙁

    Do you still need the mousepad and MHA vol 2? In my cart Amazon is telling me you have them already, although its still on the wishlist.

  1927. I Need Spoons #684, I see what you said about it showing up as already purchased…

    The gloves, mousepad and MHA vol 2 will be there Monday, the sweatshirt won’t be delivered until Dec 27th tho.

  1929. Hi,Serine23 and Jenny, I spoke with Amazon and they said the items were added to the cart but never purchased. Do you know what happened? A friend has been helping me try to figure this out and posting for me when I don’t have internet. Here’s my original post.

    Hi I’m Javon, a single mom of 4 awesome kids. I have 3 sons and a daughter and they light up my life. I’m on my own right now and things are hard. I do everything I can to keep things going and it’s not enough. We’d appreciate any help you can provide and be extremely grateful. Happy holidays and thank you!

    https://www.amazon.com/

  1930. I checked on Wed and chatted with amazon about someone putting my items in their cart but never buying them (marking them as bought elsewhere I guess). I waited all week and nothing just in case amazon was mistaken and chatted again last night. Same thing no one bought them, nothing shipping to me from amazon. I am posting my list again hopeful. I have edited the description on the items I didn’t get and to clearly state on the mittens that I got them. Here is my list if anyone is interested in helping.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VCSCAUJ6FA3J?type=wishlist&filter=all&sort=default

  1932. THANK YOU!!!! To the kind person(s) who sent food – this will carry us through. I can’t stop crying…tears of relief and gratitude. Yesterday I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Sending you giant virtual hugs. Also thank you for the book too. I’m really looking forward to reading & coloring it after tucking the kids in bed. Jenny, thank you for everything you’re doing. I’m sending positive healing and health wishes your way for the physical struggles you are going through right now.

  1933. Also, I’m very sorry to hear about the wishlist troubles some of you are posting about above. If I could help you I would. I truly hope that it was a mix up or error on the purchasers part, and not anything intentional. Stay hopeful as it looks like some kind elves are still busy on here helping any way they can.

  1934. Thank you !! To th kind person who sent my girl a gift !!! You are awesome Merry Christmas

  1935. People are so cruel!!!! I finally got to speak to someone and my list was also ALL marked as purchased somewhere else. Not 1 item was actually bought. I hope the person didn’t intentionally do that and ruin these babies Christmas but I think it’s obvious by now this was done on purpose. My heart is broken for my kids! I don’t know what to do!!!! I know it’s far too late but this was my list, all was within the parameters posted by Jenny and still had a grinch manage to ruin Christmas for my kids.

  1937. I noticed something strange awhile back during JGXM week,, but forgot about it until I just read the last batch of comments from the last few days. When I first began purchasing items from Amazon Wishlists, I was on my phone. I would click the link, and it would take me to the Amazon Wishlist on my Chrome app. I could add things to my Amazon cart, but then when it was time to checkout, Amazon prompted me to sign in (because I really only use the Prime App and am never signed into Amazon on Chrome on my phone.) I realized this wasn’t super efficient, because the Amazon Prime App is much quicker and less cumbersome than trying to complete purchases on Amazon on a phone web browser. So I went to the Prime app and tried to buy for lists that way, but couldn’t figure out a way for Amazon Wishlist links to open in my Prime app vs opening in my phone’s web browser (does that make sense?) I’m wondering if others ran into this issue, and having to re-sign into Amazon on their phone web browser detracted them from completing the purchase? Maybe there are a bunch of items still in peoples’ carts if they were on their phone and not a computer? When I figured out that clicking wishlist links on my phone would never cause them to open in the Amazon app instead of a browser, I started only checking JGXM on my laptop, which made it easier for me to fulfill lists. Anyway…not sure if this maybe caused others to add things to their cart but not ever purchase them. Hope this made sense – haven’t had enough coffee yet. 🙂

  1938. It said someone purchased items off my list but i haven’t recieved anything this is so heartbreaking someone would do this to my family

  1939. One of my sons items doubled in price and a blanket went off of prime so I added 2 items (one for each) but left the other items on there so nobody would think I was just adding stuff. I’m so sorry to everyone who is going through this as well. I apologize for ranting on my last post, just really broke me.

  1940. Jessicah (#3935): I am completely sick to my stomach. Yours was one of the first Wishlist links that I clicked on, when I was looking at lists on my phone, back when JGXM was going on. I added your items to my cart – I specifically remember the sleeping bags, green and blue. When I went to “check out” on the Amazon page on my phone browser, Amazon asked me to sign into my account. Realizing that this was inefficient (to have to sign in every time I wanted to fulfill a wishlist), I tried to switch to the Prime App, but it wouldn’t open your list. I realized I’d have to do it at my computer when I got to work the next day, on my laptop. I thought that the items would still be in my cart when I went to Amazon, but when I got onto my laptop, they weren’t. I went back through to find your comment and wishlist (I was super committed to those sleeping bags, I love camping), and when I clicked the link it said that everything had been purchased – so I assumed that someone else beat me to it and fulfilled your list. In actuality, I guess those items were still in my cart on my phone’s web browser (??)

    I feel like I’m going to throw up! I just purchased everything on your list except for the stilts, because they were no longer Prime. Everything is scheduled to arrive on December 24th. If you give me your e-mail address, I can forward you the confirmation e-mail that I just received from Amazon. I’m so, so sorry about this.

    I wonder how many other people clicked Wishlists on their phone, chose items, and then when Amazon prompted them to sign in, decided they’d rather do it from a computer…but when they went back to the list, the items were showed up as purchased (because they were stuck in an Amazon cart on someone’s phone web browser)? 🙁

  1941. Please don’t feel bad, it wasn’t you. Another representative called me and this was intentional. They’ve been having this problem for over a week. He said that it was the same handful of people doing it to everyone. You adding to your cart didn’t mark it as purchased, I promise! I appreciate you reaching out and helping my kids more than you can imagine! I can’t wait to pile up with the kids in the living room with their new sleeping bags! And once it’s warm enough we will be sleeping under the stars! Thank you so much and know that all of this wasn’t you! Someone was a grinch and intentionally was doing this.

  1942. I do have a quick question for anyone who could help. Since I originally posted 1 of my items doubled and went off of prime and the other won’t be here until after Christmas. I added a replacement item for both but left the others on so people wouldn’t think I was adding stuff today just because. Would it be ok to delete the old ones? I don’t want anyone to buy them with there being a replacement on the list. I went ahead and deleted the blanket because it’s replacement was purchased (thank you so much Kristen) but wasn’t sure on the fidget spinner (replacement for stilts because there weren’t any on prime that were within a reasonable amount of money).

  1943. Someone said they bought items and they didn’t for my twin boys that’s truly heartbreaking

  1944. Jessicah – I really hope you’re right. 🙁 I feel so awful, because I specifically remember clicking on those sleeping bags on my phone, and then going to your wishlist later on my laptop, and the sleeping bags being gone from the list. I remember being bummed that someone beat me to it because I really wanted to be able to gift your kiddos something that I myself loved using as a kid. Regardless, I’m glad that I was able to get them to you now, and that they will arrive before Christmas.

  1945. I’m thrilled and I appreciate your help! I just don’t want you to let this bother you. Call amazon and they can tell you the same. There have even been people on here resting that theory and until an item was either purchased or marked as purchased somewhere else it would still let people buy it. Please, please, please don’t think this was your doing! This was a grinch intentionally trying to ruin kids Christmas. Whoever it is should consider themselves lucky I don’t know where they live lol. But apparently amazon can see who did it. I asked the guy “can’t you just give me a name and city? I promise I won’t hurt him/her physically” 😂😂😂 it didn’t work.

  1946. Missrandomthoughts, making sure the perfume, boys tshirt, and toddler clothes arrived, because they show as delivered on my end.

  1947. Missrandomthoughts, some diapers on the way, and should arrive monday. the wipes aren’t ordered because they are only from 3rd party sellers right now.

  1948. 3877 – I sent some items from your list. The soup should arrive on the 24th. I found other toilet tissue and crackers that were eligible or prime. Those should arrive the 27th. Hope this helps.

  1949. @ W.P. #3947/3946
    Hello, thank you so much <3 for the perfume, t-shirt, and toddler clothes! They all have been received and another thank you for sending diapers as well, you are a very wonderful person and I had noticed you on here when I had been just watching all the love and kindness( drama too) helping so many families. I am so happy I was able to come back this morning and find out what was going as far as the families who were showed purchased items but them not being received. I had made my comment last night before I even knew this had happened to others. Then I was so saddened to see it happened to others with entire lists or several items. It seems that those who this happened too, just like me but I was very fortunate that only 3 of the items had been missing wound up getting the same type of answers from Amazon. I have the little slips still and I am going to see if there is one that came with what you had purchased has a way to send a private sort of thank you also. My whole idea was to report back here and do a one comment large thank you and also post pics after the items had been opened by the kiddos. I had wrapped them yesterday and so thankful to have anything period as I mentioned in my first comment yesterday. You are a lovely kind hearted soul for doing all you have and personally for my kiddos making sure each one had something, I mentioned Serine in my original comment because her name had been on the slip in the note area. So I just want to be sure that you know if there is a way to thank you from the slips included in the items you had purchased, you will be getting another thank you from me. Thanking you is not enough honestly, I would prefer to give you a huge hug so you can feel the joy and happiness you have given me this year. There is never going to be a way to express how thankful I am honestly. I really hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday and warm and best wishes for the new year huge internet hugs for a long time period for everything you have done, for me and so many <3

    I am not sure what the deal is with the wipes being a 3rd party now but I will look into it but not expecting anything more at all. I was not expecting anything when I commented the very first time and was provided love and Christmas for my kiddos which is what truly is beyond amazing when in no way was it an obligation for anyone to purchase anything at all. I am so thankful to you and Serine and will have to check to be sure I am not leaving another out to thank as well but this whole event from Jenny continuing when I see she always thinks it will be the last one to this one being the 9th is beautiful. Oh wow, I just wrote a novel for what could have been a much shorter answer for you but that is why I literally am missrandomthoughts in a way, lol. I will stop for now so you know your kindness and love has been received and have no worries about your kindness. Thank you so very much for all you have done and continue to help today with diapers!

  1950. http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/4U3JD0NF1CIY/?ref
    I was number 1428 and was done the same way with someone putting stuff in the cart and saying it was purchased when it wasnt. I added the stuff back to my list in hopes that someone might could help. just the toiletry items that insurance dosent cover for my special needs child. Thank you and i hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

  1951. @Jessicah #3945 I am laughing at the last line of your comment right now about the person who had done this clicking on items to appear as purchased but were truly not. I am OP #2237 and commented late last night after speaking to Amazon due to being concerned about 3 items shown as purchased not being received when the others had already arrived. I had no idea until after posting how many others had the same concerns and the results/explanation from Amazon. I was told the 3 items were from the same person but they had tried to find a way to contact them but were not able to do so. I honestly was just happy to have been gifted anything at all for my 3 kids especially due to asking for help I think it was either Wed or Thurs of the week Jenny had opened the event. Also just in general for it being a resource of hope that is not available in my rural town especially having 2 of the 3 being 14 and 17. I could participate for my now 4 yr old for gifts and then found out afterward that if I had participated in another program I would not be able to participate in the toys for tots. So that was a huge bummer since the cut off age is 12 in the program I signed my little one up in October, and then seeing they were going to do a Toys for Tots and if your children had a sibling the other children in the home up to 16 could also receive gifts. They also do double verifications so if they find that you signed up for help when you say you did not, you will never be able to participate in the program. So that was a huge nope for us this year but also would have only helped my now 4 yr old and his brother, not my daughter who is 17. Anyway so sorry for rambling I just seen your comment of asking for the name and city and a promise of not hurting them, made me laugh literally out loud!! I am hoping your kiddos and you have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for the new year <3 Thank you for giving me a laugh today and in the morning too, it has been a rough year more so this month with stress and worries in general. Thanks to Jenny doing this and the loving kind hearted givers and moderators all together have made it possible for my kiddos to have a Christmas when they were not going to and for giving me warm fuzzy feelings that I had not had in a long time. Tons of love to you and yours and thank you for making me laugh and smile today!!! 🙂

  1952. @Dawn You’re so sweet! Thank you! The mouse pad and MHA book were already received. Those things were purchased the first day of JGXM. The things that were marked as purchased at another store are:

    1) galaxy hoodie (now actually purchased)
    2) clock radio w/nightlight (to help Ro sleep because her anxiety and fear of the dark are through the roof, and her clock radio bit the dust a while ago)
    3) blanket (for Ro, because she can’t regulate her own body temperature)
    4) gloves (blue ones for Ro)
    5) sketchbooks (for Ro)
    6) blood pressure monitor (for Ro)
    7) sleep pants (for hubby)
    8) winter coat (for me, because I am suddenly freezing all the time).

    http://a.co/eLPsCEa

    ALL the items that were marked “purchased at another store” show “Last purchased December 17, 2018” underneath them. Those are the things that are still needed.

    DAWN, PLEASE cancel the mouse pad and MHA book. Or you could choose another volume or version/series by the same author/anime. The hoodie was one of the items marked purchased at another store. THANK YOU for purchasing it for my girl!

    Jenny, I see that you posted a comment this morning, but on both my phone and my desktop, it shows in code and just one line. I have no idea what you said. Could you please post it again?

  1953. I checked our list again this morning- the shoes and coats are bow showing unpurchased as opposed to yesterday where everything was purchased? Im very confused what happened. Our books show purchased but have yet to arrive still unfortunately nothing has come.

  1954. This will likely be my last time to be able to check on things- i use a computer at the library that will be closed til after Christmas after today. Have a merry Christmas! Its been unreal watching how much good y’all have done for so many kiddos. 🎅

  1955. Hello again! I was able to put the one needed item that was marked as purchased on the list as the one originally added is only available by 3rd party now. I also had put the body spray wish back to the list that also was marked as purchased but actually was not by the same individual who had marked these items and diapers as purchased. The diapers have been taken care of as I was told by the person today and it is shown on the purchased filter as has 2. This wonderful person W.P. was so wonderful to help me with this much-needed item for my youngest who turned 4 on the 19th who is level 3 severe autism, non-verbal and developmental delays. I am only mentioning him being special needs just to clarify why I have a 4-year-old still in diapers. I am only posting the link for this list just by chance someone can help with the gift for my oldest son and the wipes which have a $1 off coupon. I honestly do not expect these to be bought at all, I have been blessed to have each of my 3 children to have a Christmas this year by individuals who had no obligation to fulfill any wishes for me or anyone else. My original post was #2237 here is the new list- Link: http://a.co/b2saWD9 .

    However, again I am very grateful that anything was purchased at all and if there are still kind souls giving my wish is for those who had experienced the same issue as me but their children did not receive anything or very little to be taken care of if possible. I am in no way trying to be greedy at all, as I have been blessed to be able to come here and get help. Me adding this link with the items marked purchased but were truly not by the same person is just if someone can help but I do not want any child not to get a gift due to me asking for help with these 2 items. I love you all, Jenny, moderators, amazing givers and those also in need of help. From me and my kiddos to you and yours I wish you the very best wishes for a warm Christmas and a very Happy New Year! I hope to be able not to be in need if this happens to be available next year, even if I am I would love to help with the moderators as they had put so much of their time and lives on hold for this event. No matter what I will be available to help in some way even if I have to go to McDonald’s and use their wifi!! I love you all so very much and thank all of you for helping my family and the many others who came for help and also stuck around despite some of the negativity that was going on <3

  1956. I Need Spoons (#684) Shoot, Amazon already shipped it, of course they would be faster today, lol The whole wishlist snafu just confused my poor brain, apologies for the duplicates! Feel free to return them or regift them. I didn’t want to wait til morning and miss the slim shipping window they still had.

    Some of the comments on the board appear in that weird text script too (I can take a SS if that would help, I am not tech savvy at all) I had to open it in edge to see the comments, it looks like Chrome is blocking it to protect us from ourselves I guess?

  1958. Dadishopeful You can call Amazon (or chat) and they can check on the status of your wishlist items for you.

  1959. Missrandomthoughts,
    I’m glad I could give you a laugh, the amazon guy didn’t seem to think it was nearly as funny when I suggested all of their victims showing up to egg and toilet paper their home! 😂😂😂 I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas despite the grinch!

  1960. @Kavisha J #3921, as per the rules, a week ago yesterday, we could post for needs for other members of the family and kids needs that weren’t toys or under $35. I followed the rules. Please read the post. I asked Jenny on FB if and when we could do this, and she told me that the “Friday Lists” were allowed to have these items on them. It’s all within the rules. Thanks.

    Also, I wouldn’t be posting here again had the items that were marked as purchased actually been bought, not marked as “purchased from another store” just to be cruel to desperate families at Christmas.

    And yes, everything listed are needs. The work boots were for my husband. He was wearing his Aif Force combat boots with split soles and wrapping his feet in plastic bags to keep them dry until someone purchased the boots for him. He’s very thankful and says they’re wonderfully comfortable.

  1961. Original post #1629
    After reviewing previous comments it would appear the Grinch also made it to my wish list. Three items on my list were bought for which I cannot express the happiness of being able to give some gifts to my kids. The Grinch added three to a third party and I’ve added two of them back as the third one can’t be received by Christmas. I’ve added a few food items, but at the end of the day I’m still extremely grateful to Kate and another Secret Santa. I’m not sure if she wants her name posted so thank you secret Santa. This close to Christmas I’d suggest just getting things for yourself and your families. Cheers from Andrea, Joshua, and Serena.

  1962. @Dawn what is “Edge?” Chrime is the browser on my phone, but I use Firefox on my desktop. Jenny’s comments show the same way in both browsers. If you could post a screenshot, that would be great!

    I’m sorry you couldn’t cancel the orders. I am so thankful that you tried to remedy this situation for us, though! ❤ I guess I could return the items and use the gift card credit to get my daughter the sketchbooks, if that’s okay? She always needs more. Being bedbound most of the time, drawing is her escape from thinking about the pain sheakways in.

  1963. One last thing, I saw a lot of comments stating that gift cards weren’t allowed, but nothing in Jenny’s rules state that, unless I missed something? I read the rules several times.

  1964. Serine23 I have edited the list, I’m sorry I didn’t realize I didn’t have it added up correctly. I apologize. I realize that if anyone is still willing to help, they will probably arrive after Christmas, but I’ll just explain to the kids that there was an issue with Santa getting everywhere in one night. Thank you again. Here is the link again if anyone is able to help.

    http://a.co/idsSqmb

  1965. post 3877 Thank you so much for getting those item for my son, and also providing the dates the items should arrive.I truly appreciate it.

  1966. Oh no! I just went through here and read comments about wish list items showing as being purchased but actually aren’t! I am so heartbroken! My wish list showed as being all purchased on the 17th and have been waiting all week and hadn’t seen or heard anything which I thought was unusual since everything on my list was Prime and should have been here already. I just sent a message to Amazon to check but I have a sinking feeling. I wad hoping against hope for this as I really have nothing to give my kids this year, there was just nothing extra I could pinch from anywhere. I am going to explain to my kids that we will just have a late Christmas when tax return time comes around, providing nothing major happens between now and then that will eat up all of my return (which happens more frequently than I care to think about).

    I am so sorry for everyone else in this same situation. I hope you all manage to have a Merry Christmas somehow in spite of all this. Love to Jenny and everyone for trying, it’s been a beautiful thing to watch. Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you all have a much better year next year!

  1967. Called amazon- nothing has been purchased off our list from the start. Well that’s a punch in the gut before Christmas and a lot of wasted hope. Sad to see the Grinch take away so many kids Christmases.

    (I bought a book (Women in Science) for your kids yesterday so that should definitely show up as purchased. Amazon says it’ll arrive Monday. If Amazon says it wasn’t bought then there’s an issue with your account. I did notice that your list says it’s for Molly but your address says it’s for Kayden so maybe that’s an issue? ~ Jenny)

  1968. Original post #1934 sadly I was one of the ones that someone pretended or maybe unintentionally just reserved everything that was on my wishlist and never actually bought it… the only thing that was bought was a football thank you Spencer for that my boy is going to love it! I’m hoping there still elfs out there that are still helping with the wishlist…Amazon was able to help me put everything back on my wishlist so here’s the link just in case anyone can still help http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/11ONNYRPQ2SAI
    Hello my name is Judith my husband and I have 4 kids of our own and we are becoming my nephews legal guardian because my sister passed away and there dad is not around so we have decided that we are going to take them in so now that make us a family of 10 … is been really hard this Xmas to by present for everyone … as you guys can see we are a family that loves sports … we know that we have a lot of kids and you guys might not get everything on the list but we thank you for whatever it is the kids would be really grateful… we thank you I advance merry x mass!! We are from Wilmington california

  1969. Hopefully Jenny is a hypochondriac and her medical issues are resolved with no complications. I’ll eat an extra serving of pie to ensure your health Jenny. I got you covered for Christmas.

  1970. I was unsure how to fix my list since amazon has said nothing but the mittens were purchased just put in a cart and reserved. (this was reserved sunday/monday and nothing has arrived and amazon said they don’t have any of it purchased). So I added each item (so the list says 2 needed 1 bought but none have been bought except the mittens), I also found cheaper pants (different color but he doesn’t care) and a cheaper jacket for him so I added those. If anyone is still gifting things. The jacket is top priority for the 16 yr old his other coat is fleece and takes forever to dry so if he gets wet on the way to school he stays wet all day. Thank you for looking.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VCSCAUJ6FA3J?type=wishlist&filter=all&sort=default

    (I just sent you the waterproof jacket. 🙂 It won’t get there until the 28th though. ~ Jenny)

  1971. just realized that jacket isn’t prime I am trying to find one not expensive that is prime and will add it

  1977. Okay so I posted a Walmart link yesterday or might as well say late last night or early this morning. Anyways, I went on Amazon and seen a few thing we could use. I had to read reviews on how they fit. A lot have good reviews, so fingers crossed. They are a little higher on amazon though. there are also two jackets for my kids and some socks for both. I put my interview clothing at the bottom of the list because my kids come before me. We all need things right now but we can’t afford anything at the moment. Can only recieve from the food bank once a month here and they don’t give us much to begin with so there are a few food items on the list since the kids are going to be out of school for a couple of weeks, and the pantry doesn’t really give anything they actually like. Like I stated in my last post. I don’t need any of these things to come before Christmas. My interview is next Friday though, if someone decides to help me out. Thanks.

  1978. I’m absolutely sickened that so many families were harmed by whoever the evil bastards are that stole Christmas from kids and needy people!!

    What kind of heartless fucker does one have to be to do this?? This is why I mostly hate people.

  1979. Just a small update: I wrote a new blog post about the James Garfield Miracle because I couldn’t fit it all in one comment. This year was wonderful and terrible, as most things are but overall I’m so grateful. If you want to share happy things (not wish lists) the comments are open on that post. It’s just a place to share good things and hints and encouragement.

    Sending everyone so much love. I hope that even if you weren’t helped you felt the love and care of people who want to help. I wish this was perfect.

  1980. So today my 4 year old daughter that has autism and SPD saw The Paw Patrol wood puzzle at the store couldn’t get it and now she’s been crying.. I told her I couldn’t get it because mommy didn’t have the money to get it she had a huge meltdown at the store and I feel so bad and she end up crying herself to sleep… If anyone would love to get this for her I would really appreciate it very much.. Thank you so much if anyone can get it for her

    Devanie’s wish list : https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/Q7QD51EUBQG2

  1981. @Virginia Cano, you don’t have an address attached to your list. You need to fo that so someone can but that and have it sent to your daughter.

  1982. @thebloggess where can I read blog post, also will there be anything in place for next year to prevent this from happening to families such as myself whom didn’t receive anything? Not saying that I will be here next year I pray this was just and off year but for someone who has nothing needing help this is very heart braking and sad.

  1984. THANK YOU JENNY, just came on to check in before getting my little guy started on bedtime routine and saw your post about my teens jacket. He will be so happy, it doesn’t matter if it comes after christmas (since he is out of school until Jan). We really appreciate it, you are truly an angel. Merry Christmas, hope you feel better real soon.

  1985. Leslie #269 – one gift card on the way to your friend from another non-Christian. 🙂

  1986. http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/16T34GH1WWXVG

    Posting one more time for my sister’s 3 kids in hopes they will have a few things to open. My 5 year old is coloring them pictures and wants to paint rocks for them. She has already donated a few of her books from the thrift store so we can give them something. I was feeling really sad but her Christmas cheer is contagious. I hope you have some sweet little ones around… Merry Christmas!

  1988. I posted a few comments up about realizing I was ‘Grinched’ along with many others, but I do have a request if anyone could help. I’m in need of a working, unlocked phone (I am a Samsung user but I would be grateful for anything, honestly).
    In my effort to pinch every penny I switched from one phone company to a prepaid one and despite the original company unlocking my phone, there’s some sort of software issue that keeps locking up my phone to the original company. The original company and Samsung swear there is nothing they can do and they are not liable, and my new company can’t do anything either. So this has left me without a functioning phone that can call & text (problematic when the kids are in school and for my disabled self if I need to call emergency services). If anyone could help I’d be so grateful. You can email me at juicyfruit03@gmail.com

  1989. @Virginia Cano, you don’t have a shipping address attached to your list. I checked 3 times. If I put it in my cart, it shows the shipping address as my own, and doesn’t give me the notice that my order contains a gift. Please fix that under “manage list.”

  1990. I Need Spoons #684 Edge is what they call Internet Explorer now I guess? I never use it unless I am having some sort of issue with Chrome. She can use the credit for whatever she needs, its perfectly fine with me.

    Hopefully Amazon deals with the wishlist issue some way, it really sucks for people to be waiting for things that will never come. 🙁 I had hoped it was not as widespread here since the wishlists were so reasonable compared to the Reddit ones.

  1991. Count me among the “items say purchased but they were not” crowd. I am sick to my stomach over this but I give up. I deleted my list about 24 hours after my list was purchased because I didn’t want my husband to see (his pride wouldn’t have been able to take asking for help). Bright side is that I am the only one of my family who knew and had hope for those things so I am the only one who has to swallow the disappointment. I am sad but am trying like hell to be FURIOUSLY HAPPY in the face of it.

    Merry Christmas to all

  1993. I need Spoons #684 I did it under my daughter’s name hope the address shows up now let me know plz and thank you 🙏

  1994. #3980 Virginia Cano… be on the look out for Paw Patrol between Dec. 28-Jan 3

    Merry Christmas

  1995. Thank you so much my daughter will be so happy ❤️ You are so awesome and have a wonderful Chris and a safe New Year as well ❤️

  1996. #2237 last request for help with a needed item of wipes as they went out of prime and was one of the 3 items of my list for my little ones that were marked as purchased by whoever has done the same to everyone. Here is the list in which I added 2 of the items as a wonderful person was able to help with the diapers that were marked as purchased and actually has been now. My other item listed is for my oldest boy but he has received a shirt and a headset, I really do not expect anything more just doing this as any other mother would do for a child’s need for a necessity I cannot afford. Thank you all so very much for the help given to not just me but to all families in need and those affected by the individual who did many of us wrong with false hope of help. Here is the list but again I do not expect more just doing this for my child, the body spray would be nice but is not desperately needed. I have been blessed to have a Christmas by wonderful people here with no obligation to help at all. Also for Jenny having this outlet for us to come and ask for help. Happy Holidays to all of you and yours! http://a.co/f3NfhGa

  1997. I had previously posted a thank you to the angels who filled my daughters list, after having not received anything yet I reached out to amazon and they stated the items were put on reserve ( moved to someones cart) but never actually purchased so this had moved them to my purchased list on the wish list because of this it made it look like their list had been completed when it fact it had not. Thinking the list had been completed I had deleted the list so that others could be helped. I am extremely frustrated and crushed.

  1998. I know this is a long shot. But I just saw that we could post for other members of the family now. My son just turned 18 in June. We just moved out of our long time place of residence in August and are staying with a friend until my son can find a job. He is job hunting but really needs a couple of things. A good pair of tennis shoes that he can walk to put in job applications and be able to walk to work in. A good set of socks to wear. And a couple of t-shirts to wear to work. And as a teen boy deodorant. IF someone could get anything great. If not no worries. Especially after what I have read. I am amazed at the love even after all of the bad. Thank you for even reading this.

    Link: http://a.co/guQxqpx

    This is what was in the address bar. I am not sure if the other link even worked. https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1C51ZE55JU51V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_ws_suAhCb4V7FAXB?fbclid=IwAR31fYXTGqVHbXHcFcjO_3NL8pi0qBOj1EuuFXZoPScqg-nJxgiqk7I81Dg

    If they don’t work it’s ok. Been having problems with trying to share a link for a few days now. Thank you again for even reading.

  1999. Dad is hopeful – your list still says the items are bought. However, I went ahead and purchased a couple of the items because I feel awful that this has happened to your family. Unfortunately, they won’t get there until after Christmas, but at least there will be something. Best wishes….

  2000. Guess who’s turning their den into a guest bedroom? Yep. This Mama/Mimi is. I am so glad to receive the few things I did, a few hasn’t gotten here yet but that’s okay. We don’t need big shiny presents under the tree. We just need each other. Tonight, we had our Christmas service at church. We’re usually some of the first people there and usually the last to leave, because I drive the church bus. Tonight, there was a girl there, and she asked me if I knew of a place her and her little girl could stay until she got back on her feet. I told her I don’t. Later on, I saw her and my oldest daughter talking and praying together. So I just what the heck, why not? I didn’t know what I was going to do, where she was going to sleep. My daughter pointed out why can’t we just make the den a guest bedroom? At first, I didn’t think it was a good idea because that’s where my daughters boyfriend sleeps. He offered to move to the living room, and he’d put all his stuff in the hall hall closet that no one ever uses. Then my daughter went straight to her room and then about an hour later, she came down with a big basket of clothes for April (the mom). I couldn’t help but smile and give her a hug. I have such great kiddos, they always want to help. I am so glad I raised them that way. I hope they continue this forever and always want to help those in need.

    A little about them:

    The mom’s name is April. She is 19 years old. Her daughter, (Calliope, I think I am spelling that right) is 2 months and is just absolutely beautiful. She’s so chunky. Her mother kicked her out when she was pregnant. Since then she’s been couch hopping. The last place she was at was her boyfriends (not the baby’s father), but he kicked her out. I don’t know the whole story and don’t need to know either. She told me she didn’t want to continue to put her daughter through that anymore and she needs ONE place to stay until she can get on her feet.. She’s been to a lot churches and other places in our area and not any of them could help. I mean I know there’s not a lot of resources around here, and that is why I try to help when I can. I don’t know what it means to be homeless, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t a great feeling I really wish i could open up a homeless shelter around here, but I don’t have the funds or the means to run it. Maybe one day, but I don’t see it any time soon. I might not can give my kids big shiny gifts under the tree, but I sure can teach them how to help others, and do when for them when they can.

    I have things from when my son was an infant, but I don’t have any baby girl items. I might can find a few neutral gender items here, but I am not too sure. I have plenty of baby bottles for her. She gets WIC so she’s good on that end. We’ll feed her, so that’s not a problem either. The list mainly consist of clothes for her baby and a few other things.
