Hello and welcome to year 11 (ELEVEN?!) of the James Garfield Miracle!
What is the James Garfield Miracle, you ask? You must be new here. Welcome! It’s basically a day celebrating the time I bought a jolly taxidermied boar which morphed into a day where parents who are really struggling can get a present for their child this holiday season. It’s a very strange community project of strangers helping strangers anonymously and it’s pretty great.
I thought last year would be the end of the James Garfield Miracle because it’s gotten large and unwieldy and the one or two scammers who pop up often ruin it for the thousands of wonderful people who help or are helped, but I need a little holiday pick-me-up so this weekend I am Santa on a very small scale. We’ve tried lots of iterations of this with all levels of success but this year things are a little tighter in my household and I suspect I’m not alone so this year we’re going to keep it very simple and go back to the basics and hopefully it will still bring smiles to a lot of people and also make it something so simple that no scammer would care about.
So this year I am sending out 100+ teddy bears to kids.

That’s it. Just sweet, snuggly teddy bears. Well, not just teddy bears because the teddy bears have eyes that babies can swallow (stop swallowing eyes, weird babies) so I’m also adding a few other stuffed animals you can choose from if you have an eye-devouring baby or your child has a bear phobia or Amazon sells out of teddy bears.

But that’s it. Simple. Easy. Not perfect because in a perfect world everyone would get everything they need but I’d like to imagine that even people who may be disappointed that we’re just doing stuffed animals will at least be happy imagining all the kids finding unexpected fluffy new stuffed animals in their arms this holiday. It makes me smile, at least.
So, if you are struggling this year and you need help getting your child a present for Hannukau/Christmas/whateveryoucelebrate then I am ready to Santa Claus it up and drop one lovely plushie at your doorstep.
Here are the links for the plushes:
12 inch Gund teddy (pick any color they have in stock)
Jellycat 12 inch bunny (If you’d prefer the cheaper 7″ one instead that’s totally cool.)
Currently these are all between $15-$23 each but Amazon can be wonky about changing up the prices daily or running out of stock so if I see that happening I’ll come back here to add other choices to choose from to replace any that sell out this weekend or suddenly skyrocket in price from $20 to $180. (Wtf, Amazon?) If I haven’t bought you a stuffy it’s probably because they sold out, jacked up the price or you forgot your address.
(Also, I always use the profits I make on affiliate links to buy toys for kids so that means that if you’ve clicked on one this year then you are the reason why I’m going to be able to buy toys for at least 100 kids this year. That is amazing and I’m so grateful. Thank you!)
The wishlists will be posted in the comments so (as always) if you want to buy a present for a stranger you totally can. Or you can donate to Project Night Night, an amazing organization that provides a tote bag, book, stuffed animal and security blanket to homeless or displaced kids throughout the year. They are AMAZING and the have more requests than they can fill so I cannot recommend them enough.
(Also, I know a lot of you are asking why I don’t just do this through my bookshop instead of Amazon and I’d love to but 1) our wonderful employees would be swamped with extra work since we only have three right now 2) we don’t have a way to make a registry work online yet. But maybe one day we’ll figure it out and have enough employees to do it and be able to use all the profits to help more people. Just not this year.)
SO…if you want in on this you have to read all the directions and stick to the rules or otherwise you will be set on fire and pushed out a moving plane. Or maybe I’ll just delete your comment and look at you with that disappointed look your mom gives you when she knows you’re trying but are still fucking up. One of those. Here are the rules:
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE:
Okay, how do I do this?
You are my special angel. Just look in the comments and find someone who has an unfilled Wishlist. I’m going to buy at least 100 but there are always more than I can handle. (If there’s nothing on their list it means their toy was already bought- yay!) Buy their present and make sure when you check out that you select their shipping address. (It won’t give you their full address but it’ll tell you the town you’re shipping it to.) If you try to fill a wishlist but it doesn’t give you a shipping address to choose that means the person didn’t assign a shipping address to the list so delete their present out of your cart and go to the next wishlist. If it says “these are duplicates. Someone else may have already bought this” when you try to check out then someone else already bought the stuff so delete it and try another one.
But what if I don’t live in America?
Check the comments because we often have Canadians and others outside the US who need help and I can’t fill those lists because shipping kills me so if you want to adopt a family, this is a great way to do it.
IF YOU NEED HELP:
You are my special angel. Here are the things you have to know: You have to make a BRAND NEW wishlist, you can only choose one stuffed animal per child to put on your wishlist, and it has to be one of the ones above. In your comment you need to say the city and State you’re in (it has to match what you have on your wishlist), how many kids you have, and a link to your wishlist. (Add your country to the comment you’re outside of the US so people in your area can find you.) Do not make multiple wish lists. Just make one. One of the most important things (people do this wrong every year so PLEASE do this part right) is that you have to assign a shipping address for this specific wishlist. I’ll give you the details on setting up the wishlist below.
What if I want to make wish lists to surprise other people who I think need help?
Nope. But you can totally tell them to come here and make their own.
I’ve never done this before. How do I make a wishlist?
It’s pretty easy if you follow the formula. I’ll walk you through:
On Amazon, click on Accounts & Lists and then “Create a list”.
Name it “James Garfield plushies” then choose “create list”.
On the right you’ll see something that says “…More“. Click on that and choose “Manage list.” Change “private” to “PUBLIC” so I can see it. In the description part box just put how many kids your list is for. YOU MUST ADD YOUR ADDRESS FOR THIS SPECIFIC LIST so click on the drop-down for the shipping address and change it from “none” to your address. PLEASE DON’T SKIP THIS PART. Make sure that the checkboxes for “keep purchased items on your list” and “don’t spoil my surprises” are NOT selected. Save changes.
Now just go pick one of the stuffed lovies for your child. When you have the one you want click on the “Add to list” drop down arrow on the right (under where the price is) and then select your “James Garfield 2020” list. Click “view your list” to make sure it’s there. If everything is right you should have your stuffed animal(s) on the page and it should say it’s public and your address should show up in the “…more” box.
If you have another kid just go back to the list and pick a present for them and add it to the same list.
Copy the link to your wishlist. Now you go to the comments below and leave a comment saying how many kids you have, what city and state you are in, and a paste in the link to your wishlist. That’s it!
So for example, I would say, “Hi. I live in San Antonio Texas, and I have one child. Here’s my list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3KPV5V1B0HGAY/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist
Thanks!”
Now…to go shopping. Happy James Garfield Day!
PS. Please please please double check before you hit the submit button that you have assigned a shipping address to your wishlist, that your comment has a link to your wishlist, the city and state you live it and the number of kids you have. Love!
Yay! Merry almost Christmas, everyone! 🙂
Hoorah! Merry Christmas everyone. 🙂🙂🎊

@Leslie B all done. Wish you a very merry Christmas and I hope 2021 brings you a better year x
Yay!!!!! happy 11th giving day!!!
Just waiting for the Canadian wish lists…
We don’t need help this year, we did the last two years and were one of the ones who got skunked last year. Is there any way to keep that from happening again?
We’re looking forward to being able to help this year!
(I think the reason that happened last year is that people who wanted gifts hacked the lists to make it look like gifts were filled so that they’d be more likely to get their gifts. I suspect that those few people will be unlikely to do that here because we’re only giving away stuffed animals. Fingers crossed. ~ Jenny)

I was a recipient of a stranger’s kindness for my twins last year and am happy to pay it forward this year!
(This makes me so happy. ~ Jenny)
My husband deeply respects and would NEVER criticize your decorating ability. He humbly requests that James Garfield’s hat’s taxidermy head needs its own hat with a taxidermy head. That’s what he’d like for Christmas.
Thank you very much,
Wifey McWife Face.
P.S.- Husband Man believes that the magic of the universe randomly bestowing Wil Wheaton’s Next Generation show jacket on him has somehow enhanced his supercredibility powers, allowing him to make this request of you.
From both of us, happy holidays to you and your family, and thank you for all of the good you do for the world in this dark time. Please stay safe
Here is our link. I have 4 (almost 5) year old twin girls who love FROZEN and Dinosaurs!!
I am a server at a restaurant and things have been tight this year. Anything is very much appreciated.
Thank you Jenny!
(I deleted your link because we’re only giving out stuffed animals this year. Sorry! If you want to read the post again and make a new wishlist with two of the stuffed animals that would be great. Thanks! ~ Jenny)

Like others this year, we are struggling hard. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this.

This is one of the very few holiday things I really look forward to each year, even when I can’t participate due to zero dollars, because it lifts my hopes and renews my faith and makes my grinchy little heart grow at least two sizes. Last year I was beside myself with excitement because I actually had money to send a couple of gifts, and this year although the pandemic has cost me 2 of my 3 jobs, my daughter got a nice bonus from her work and we’re spending it on this.
Thank you for this wonderful thing! The joy it brings helps me to keep going every day. <3
Hello my name is Rosella and I have 2 girls we live in Las Vegas Nevada thank you a ouch for your kindness and helping my girls have a Christmas present. Here is my list thank you!!! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1JB7ZLDL0UZF2/?ref_=lol_ov_le
(There was only one stuffed animal on the list when I got to it so I’m guessing someone else bought the other one before I got there. Sent you the one that was still there. 🙂 ~ Jenny)
I love this! Can’t wait to send out some snuggles. 💜
Hi, Nana and Guardian of 6 grandchildren any thing would be greatly appreciated.
(Please submit a link to your wishlist and tell us where you live. ~ Jenny)
Hello, I haven’t participated in this before because we usually don’t have children here. But this year due to a horrible custody battle we have our great nephews here this year. This will be the 3rd holiday they will be spending away from their Step Mom and Step brother and I know they are having a hard time. My husband and I wanted to get something for them but we are on disability and all of our money is going to bills and extra food for them. So please we have 2 boys here (6 and 10) so here is my list. https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/175XM85TLJ4O1/?ref_=lol_ov_le

Thank you so much for doing this. I can’t afford to help this year, but it makes me so happy that so many people are willing to help so that children can have something for the holidays. My uncle was 7 years old during the Great Depression when his mother told him he had to give up his bear to his younger brother because there wasn’t money enough to buy another bear, and he was the oldest child. He never forgot the loss of giving up his stuffed bear so his brother could have it. This present idea will make so many children happy and help give them someone to tell their secrets too, and hug, and cry into. My stuffed bear was who I cried into when I lost my Dad, or when we didn’t have enough food to eat, or when I was mad at my Mom for scolding me. A stuffed animal gives even a teenager something to love.
So thank you to all of the amazing people who will make it possible for children to have one bright spot in this terrible year.

I can’t thank you enough for doing this again. There was not going to be a Christmas other than some new markers and construction paper. It’s all we could afford. This year especially has been more challenging than others and we had to consolidate two households when my sister lost her job and then got kicked out of her rental house for being unable to pay rent. So three kiddos, two girls 6 & 7 and one boy, 4 in Las Vegas, NV. The boy would like the kitty too, but I wasn’t sure how to add two of the same on the list.

@Jen Speed – toys are on their way. Happy Holidays.
I’ve been gifted to in the past and so appreciated the help. I kept it minimal this year and don’t need any help this but I hope to pass on the help within the week. My daughters love their Jellycat and Gund stuffies. Super sweet and simple idea! Love it! ❤️
Hi Jenny:
I really hope I did this right! I’m asking for my grands – their parents won’t really have anything for them this Christmas and my husband and I are helping our kids with every day expenses. Luckily they’re all happy and healthy, warm and fed… but I’d love them to each get something to snuggle with when the world seems so overwhelming.
I did pick 1 item not on the list – I wanted each child to get something different. I made the mistake last year of getting the boys each the same thing… It was chaos!
I’m in NC and we have 5 children; 4 of which have blessed us with grandkids. Total of 3 boys (5-5-4) and 2 girls (22 and 20 months).

Thank you so much! I will be so nice to have something for my granddaughters. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get them anything at all and now they’re getting some cute soft lovies! I’m so happy!
You are all amazing. I think I managed to send something (I’m too slow!) and maybe I can send more later.
Ah looks like Jen Speed’s request was filled twice. I’ll cancel my order and help out someone else.

(your list showed as already bought but it might be an error. I bought one of the rabbits for sure. It said the bear was already bought by someone else so I think you got everything? Make sure you don’t have “don’t spoil my gifts” checked because that might be the problem. ` Jenny)

We live in Florida and these are for my grandchildren. Their grandpa passed away in October and their mom struggles to just keep food on the table. I’ve been helping but I’m on social security and the only presents that will be under the tree this sad year will be some socks and badly needed new shoes. I know this cat and dog will be well- loved as they both adore animals. I wish everyone the happiest of holidays and for everyone to stay safe.

I’m so so so happy you are still doing this!! Narrowing it to just a few specific stuffies sounds like a great idea to keep it simple and hopefully cut down on scammers. I have a little extra money in my ‘X-mas fund’ this year so I’ll see if I can help with one or two! (So far everything I’ve clicked on has already been bought!)
@Eryn #83….done! Merry Christmas!

It appears I’m late to the party. Several are showing here, but 0 items show on Amazon, and the one that does show three items says last purchased Dec 5, so they must have been fulfilled, too.
Waiting for more to pop up. And while I wait, happy tears are running down my face. This is just the best, kindest, most thoughtful thing ever. I’ve started to try to tell my husband about this several times, but I can’t because I can’t control my tears. This is just amazing.

Hi from Gilbert AZ. We have two kids who are really struggling this year. They are both schooling at home and basically sheltering in place since March since it is not safe in our community. They don’t even get to see their grandparents due to COVID restrictions and some choosing to not take basic precautions. Thank you for the kindness and we will pay it forward as soon as we can.

I tried to post but I don’t think it showed up. Please delete if it did come up twice.
We are in Gilbert AZ and have 2 kids. It’s been a rough year with everyone sheltering at home basically since March. Luckily our house has stayed healthy and DH has work, but we know too many who have not. Both kids are doing school fully online (so no kid interaction or classmates) and we can’t even see the grandparents because of COVID restrictions and their choices to not take basic precautions. Some kitties to love will brighten everyone’s day and we will pay it forward as soon as we are able.

Oh no, so this is only for young children this year? I was so hoping for help. Oh well, Happy Holidays everyone!

Sabrina (post 110), your kitty is on its way! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. 🙂
Sabrina-I cancelled my order because someone bought the items before my purchase went through. It still says that you need one of each-please let us know if they weren’t purchased!

I forgot this in the rush to fill someone’s Amazon list. Jenny, thank you so very much for doing this again this year. It was something I had been looking forward to (in addition to your new book I’ve preordered) and had hoped that the last few years had not burned you out. It’s a much needed feeling to be able to help with this (and Project Night Night) during such a craptacular year!

My name is Mary and I live in Searcy Ar. I have five kids (15,13,12,10,4) and this year has definitely thrown so many curveballs our way. I feel like it seems silly to ask for five of those big cats but that is the one that I know they would each be excited about. We love cats and it looks like an anime cat and they all love anime as well lol. Anyway, if it isn’t possible to do they won’t mind splitting just one cat. Thank you so much!

I wish I could purchase this year, but I wanted to say, thank you for all you’ve done every year, this is our first year not asking for help. We don’t have money for presents, but neither does anyone else, so we are doing 4 presents for each of our 4 kids. Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. They know it’s a tight year. The James Garfield miracle has been the only reason they’ve gotten presents most years. You are amazing.
#120-I took care of one of them! Wish I could do more.

Jenny, a few years ago I donated to Project Night Night in my husband’s name as one of his Christmas presents because of your post.

Maybe add some books for older kids? Just a thought.
I’m in Tucker, Georgia. I’m asking for my inner child because I am really struggling these days…unemployed, crumbling mind and body, in a fairly lonely marriage, and isolated because of social issues. I’m getting better about reaching out online…but I sure would love something soft to hold when I’m upset that reminds me someone cared enough to get it for me. It’s not the same when you have to get it for yourself and the husband would sneer if I asked. Please just ignore this and don’t be harsh if it was terribly wrong to ask. I promise I’m not just trying to scam, I’m just looking for a tangible, lingering spark of human warmth. And I’ll do my best to keep paying it forward, reaching out to others like me. Thank you either way. 🙂

Best James Garfield YET.
Not sure if you’ll see this, Jenny, but I’m going to say it anyway.
A few years ago someone made my friend’s year because of Garfield and your readers. She was one of the volunteers at Heifer Farm in MA when it was shut down. The fact that a stranger gave her such a gift made her even more happy. She’s since moved on and is involved with an urban farming not for profit up north.
I wish you the very best.
(Love. So much love. ~ Jenny)
I’ll keep refreshing the list—hoping to help someone out there!

Hi, lovelies. My name is Rachel and I’m in Georgia. My husband and I have a combined family of four beautiful children. We are both employed (bus driver, parapro) in the local school system and every school closure continued to hit hard. We pick up work doing food and grocery delivery and never still trying. Now with COVID in the house, I know the next two paychecks will not come before Christmas because we are quarantined and cannot with any of our jobs. Would love to surprise our sweet ones with a little extra hug this year. Thank you, Jenny, for thinking of plushies. EVERYONE, myself included, should have a sweet stuffed animal to love and hug.

Hello! Jenny, you are such an amazing person to host this every year.
I am a single mom with 3 teenage boys. It would be a legit miracle to get help this year with Christmas. (Why does it always surprise me every year?) My oldest just moved I to his own apartment and needs house stuff, my next child is an introverted book and fish person and my youngest loves anything active and social. 🙂

My name is Dona, I moved in February to Electra, TX just weeks before things really crazy, little did I know what a bad decision that was 🙁 Unfortunately it took way to long to be able to find employment and although I did finally find work a few weeks ago, playing catch up is making Christmas nearly impossible this year.
Luckily my kids are all pretty young and will make it through, but a new friend to cuddle with would sure make the holidays better. 🙂 Our wish list is https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KCWICVWQLULX?ref_=wl_share

Dona, I got you, but not sure the items were removed from the list (comment 202).
(That usually happens if the person forgot to uncheck “don’t spoil my surprises”. There’s a filter drop down where you can see that the things on the list have been purchased. Luckily if someone tries to buy it again it’ll tell them the stuff has already been bought. 🙂 ~ Jenny)
I wasn’t going to ask, I even commented I wasn’t going to ask, but then realized every one of my 4 kids would love a plushie. We live in Herne Bay, in the United Kingdom,so anyone looking to buy in England. I just put in GUND plushies and stayed under £20 because that was easier than trying to find prime plushies off your list because the items are different in the UK, so I hope that’s ok.

Jenny, THANK YOU for this…it’s the perfect idea and I’m scroll-weeping (that should be a word) looking to help someone and there’s SO many fulfilled wish lists. It’s just the very best feeling in a year where we all need it. We’ve been donating to Project NIght NIght for several years thanks to you–I’m off to send them some love now but I’ll be back to look for more lists later today. This weepy-feel-good morning is the very best part of this Christmas for me–thank you so much.

Comments 218 & 219 link to the same list and the name doesn’t match. It’s also asking to join the list. I’m not up in Amazon listing, so I was wary to click through.
(That’s usually because they used a shared amazon mobile link instead of just copying and pasting the link. It’s an extra step but it’s safe to join the lists as a collaborator. You can remove yourself as a collaborator as soon as you’ve looked at it or just leave yourself on the list. It doesn’t do anything bad. 🙂 ~ Jenny)

Me last night: should I do it? Should I be the only asshole who ASKS FOR A BUNNY FOR HER INNER CHILD?! No regrets, though. I’m going to name him Bennie and tell my husband Benedict Cumberbatch sent him to me “just because.”
My cats asked for a disclaimer: we three are loving, cuddly, and otherwise perfect but she locks us out every night because she has insomnia and we supposedly take turns “stomping on her face at 3am.” The bunny will be much appreciated for this reason. Someone has to deal with her when she gets like this.
I also have a ghost child in this house who is asking for a unicorn… JUST KIDDING
Time to pay it forward: I would like to send plushies out to the inner children (trying to nominally stick to the rules here) of two healthcare workers currently working in a hospital now. I’d like you to be able to come home after a day or night of the unspeakable, exhausted and traumatized, to a reminder that at least one person is thinking of you and appreciates your great sacrifice. Thank you and let me send you a little friend. Lisa
PS Jenny please don’t put me on the burning plane bc of this minor comment highjacking I know I’m pushing my luck but I don’t have the energy to find another way to show a little appreciation for them. 🙂

Hi I am from N Texas a small town near the border in a town called Electra, my neighbor told me about this today and I hope to be blessed for my kids, with the pandemic, this year has been really hard our link is at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WU36OOUU0Q8T?ref_=wl_share
(A few of yours were already bought by another person but I bought the last two on your list. ~ Jenny)
I also sent to 254 before I saw one that said already sent Her kids may get a lot of bunnies.
I’m Jamie and my four beloved weirdos are Wild Kratts obsessed (yay for PBS!), so I chose rogue plushies that are more wildlife related – I hope this is OK and if it’s not, I apologize in advance. And a unicorn for the toddler who is too young to be obsessed like his older sibs. The bonus is that these wildlife stuffed animals seem to be a lot less expensive than the original list of plushies. Here’s my list:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1SWX65DN2K9LE?ref_=wl_share
(I actually picked those specifically because they’re in stock and are from a company that will allow shipments to registries and it causes a lot of problems with late shipping, etc. Looks like someone was able to by a few of them but at least one is not eligible to be shipped to you. Can you delete that one (the fox) and pick one off of the regular list instead? Thanks! ~Jenny)
I sent to 254. Her kids may get dupes.
#269 LE C – Your kitty is on way. Bless you for being a foster parent. Merry Christmas to you all!
#271 – i got one of your bears 🙂
Jamie in 273, your cub will get his wolf! Other items are still needed, though, for others who are looking to give.
Jamie in #273 – tried to order your fox, but it says it can’t be shipped to your address. (Anybody else have the problem?)
(It’s because she picked stuff from third-party providers and they usually don’t ship to people. I left her a note telling her to replace it with something from the approved list. 🙂 ~ Jenny)
Comment 254, I attempted to cancel my order, I believe you checked “keep purchased items on my list” leading to duplicates, as Comment 272 and Comment 274 after me have also gotten you bunnies. Maybe you can have a bunny tea party 🙂
Cindi #271 I got 1 stuffy for you. There are still 3 items left on your list.
#266/267 covered in multiple shipments, with love!
I’m tempted to order one of the unicorns or the cats for myself because they are SO danged cute.
This is Jamie from #273, I’m sorry for going rogue! [also, thank you to those who sent love this way even with my waywardness] I replaced the fox that wouldn’t ship with an approved plushie.
(I went to buy it and it was already bought. 🙂 ~ Jenny)

273 Jamie. Bunny on the way!
#285… on their way, in typical style, they may arrive in 3 shipments so keep watching!
Hey there! I’m confused. I’ve bought for 2 folks that others day are covered. (Definitely a speedy crew) I cancelled the first and placed the second. When I click on those links, it still shows as “needs”. Is this the”don’t spoil my gifts” issue or am I going about it wrong?
(Click on the ‘filter and sort’ button on their wishlist and change it from the default of “unpurchased and purchased” to “unpurchaced”. That should show you everything that was not bought. This happens when people don’t have their list set up correctly but the good news is that if someone doesn’t realize that it’s already purchased and tries to buy it again it’ll say “This is a duplicate gift. Someone may have already bought this gift” when you try to check out so you can delete and go to another person. ~ Jenny)

Hi! I have three kids. Some of the stuffed animals linked weren’t available on Canadian Amazon or were significantly more expensive, so I tried to find similar ones. The bunny was $46 (!!!) on our Amazon, so I found a similar, less expensive plush rabbit. I also added a plush unicorn cat for one of my daughters–she saw one at the bookstore a couple of weeks ago and has been asking for it since. I hope that’s okay.

Hello all! My name is Nicole and I’m in MN. I have a blended family with five beautiful children. We were able to help others last year but are unexpectedly struggling this year and would be so grateful to surprise our littles with a soft warm friend to hug this holiday. Thank you, Jenny, and thank you, kind-hearted strangers! Can I add one for my grandma who is really struggling with being unable to have visitors in her assisted care facility? We haven’t been able to hug her in months and it is heartbreaking. Her name is Eloise and I have marked on the list which one is for her. I chose the cat for her as cats have forever been her favorite animal, and I hope it brings her comfort.

Merry Christmas. This year has been a mess. With COVID. I’m currently going through a divorce and have 4 kids. Their dad left us with nothing. I had to put a moratorium for my rent this month and ask for extensions on utilities. We didn’t get a stimulus because their dad doesn’t have papers to be in the country. We file taxes with his ITIN which excluded me and my children who are all born here in the USA. I live In Tx and have no family here and am working to save to move back to my hometown where family is. It’s a daily struggle. So much until tonight I tried to not put our tree up because I didn’t know how I was gonna provide gifts for my kids. I’m so thankful that James Garfield exists so my kids can still believe there is a Santa. Just praying for a miracle to happen. Thank you in advance to the person who helps me this year.
Tori is 11 and I put and Elephant plushie
Braylen is 9 and it’s an elephant/ puppy plush
Mia and Bella are 6 and 7 and I put 2 unicorn musical plushies since they both always want the same thing.
As for me I am praying that next year goes better for myself and everyone out there. God Bless and Merry Christmas

Single mom going through a divorce. Had to put up a moratorium for my rent and ask for extensions on bills. Their dad left us high and dry last month with nothing. I’m praying for a miracle and wasn’t even going to put up our tree but the kids begged me. It’s hard telling them you can’t give them anything because a roof over their head takes up every penny. Thanking Jenny and James Garfield and the countless angels who make this possible. Merry Christmas and God Bless

327/Martha, the stuffies should be arriving between Dec 9 and Dec 14. Merry Christmas!
328/Hattie, plushies should be arriving sometime between the 9th and the 12th. And will probably be in multiple boxes. Merry Christmas!
Jen (#329), they should be there by 12/9. Sorry I couldn’t wrap them for your kiddos (but that may be a blessing in disguise, as I am a terrible wrapper). Happy holidays to all of you! And keep up the hard work to become a medical assistant. I am a nurse and especially after the last year, the healthcare profession can use all the help we can get.
Maya L, just saw your message! I posted at #254. Thank you so much! I went back to check the list and that box was no checked so not sure what happened, I cannot see purchases ? but I just made the list private so we won’t get duplicates. I’m really sorry this happened. I see you said you cancelled the purchase so hopefully that squares it away. If there are any duplicates we can donate at our church. Merry Christmas all! 🎄❤️

Kris (205 206), there were two on your list when I got there. I sent one to you but the other says it can’t be shipped to a registry address.
Oops! I messed up. I changed out the corgi to one that will ship. Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you for doing this! I’m Ann, we’re in Minnesota and have two toddler daughters who love that we’re all home and two elementary age sons who hate everything about distance learning except that they get to watch TV more. And I’m 8 months pregnant, so I threw in the musical unicorn for our surprise baby who we’ll get to meet soon-ish! Here’s to a better year in 2021!

I added the bear for my son, and a cat and rabbit for my two girls. We live in Mandeville, LA 70448. Thank you in advance for considering them ❤ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1O5827P0ISVO7?ref_=wl_share

Hi! I’m Emily and I need help. I’m asking for 5 bunnies for our family. I have 2 kids of my own and since my sister’s a nurse, I’ve been taking care of her 2 kids full time since the spring. I included a bunny for me too, because I’m so, so tired y’all. I’m going to go back and put on a bunny for my sister too, because I know how much she’s missing her babies and she goes through so much at her job and I just can’t imagine how hard all of that is. Thank you for the love – my list:

(Someone beat me here! And I know the pain of a child with lice. No fun. ~ Jenny)
#350 (Emily) one of your bunnies is on the way. Hopefully other folks will get the others for you soon.
#350/Emily – the rest of your bunnies are on the way. Thank you and your sister for all you do.

Thank you so much, Jen & Tony for brightening our holiday & year! We are going to appreciate the heck out of those fluffy bunnies!
Hi everyone. I think this is the best idea yet! This is great for kids and thank you Jenny for doing this! Miracles every year. 🙂 My name is Abby and I live in New Hampshire. I am a single mom of a one year old and a 9 year old. Both boys 🙂 Covid has made this year extremely tough for us so the James Garfield miracle is a beautiful glimmer of hope. Thank you to Jenny and her amazing followers who make this possible every year. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Hello, my name is Rebecca.
We have 3 kids living with us. Two are mine and due to some addiction issues in our family we have a cousin’s little girl living with us this year too.
We live in Iola, Kansas. Ages 6, 5, and 4. All right in a row.
This year has been a struggle financially but we are trying to go out of our way to make sure the kids don’t know how much.

Michelle, 361, I’ve got you covered. I hope you have a good Christmas amid everything!
Rebecca, 362 I’ve got your covered as well. I hope you have a good Christmas! Looks like they’ll come in two separate boxes.
Thank you so much Laemperatrizgmail! My kids are going to be so excited 🙂
I love Christmas this is my favorite holiday! I love him more than New Years. It seems to me that Christmas is a more emotional family holiday, and I often celebrate New Year with friends. Therefore, I am preparing for Christmas much more thoroughly than for the New Year. Now I will try to finish the renovation in the bathroom to make a present for my wife. Tell me why you bought this stuffed animal, does it seem scary to you? I am not a supporter of the Green Planet Society, but they will hardly ever be able to hang a scarecrow on the wall.
(I’m not sure I totally understand your comment but I wish you good luck with your renovations! ~ Jenny)
#337… on their way! ♥️

Every year, this post/the comments make me so happy to see so many people helping strangers to make the holidays special – and it started my annual donation to Project Night Night. I just submitted my PNN donation – and shared the information with some friends who were looking for new places to donate this season.
Appreciate you doing this each year! Just seeing it a little late.
Here is our miracle list.

Hi! Sabrina (109&110) here saying thank you to Jenny’s army of angels❤️❤️ Don’t know how to express how much this means to me and my littles. I have changed my list to private as my wishes were filled. Thank you all again, and merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Hello! sabrina here (109&110) saying thank you to Jenny’s army of angels, you do not know what this means to me and my littles. I have made my list private as my needs were gratefully filled. I cannot express my thanks and wish you and yours a very merry Christmas
My husband and I have 5 kids (Kathelyn 10, MacKenzie 8, Mikah 5, Mikel 5, Korri 3). We have recently taken in our 2 nephews (Benjamin 6, Lucas 3) and niece (Emily 1) until their mother gets well and gets her life together. We’re not doing Christmas this year because we honestly can’t afford it. We don’t have a tree or anything. It breaks my heart to pieces but it is what it is. These stuffed animals seem like a great idea and after all, it is SOMETHING!. Even if it is their only gifts, I’m sure they will appreciate it. Thank you so much Jenny!

To Morgan Leigh, comment 375 – I think you might to double check that your list is linked to your address. It keeps trying to ship to me and doesn’t offer the lister’s address as an option
Hi! I’m Christina. I have 2 children, a girl 6 and a boy 3. We are in Land O Lakes, Florida. Thank you to all who participate in this! This is amazing.

This would be an actual lifesaver for me! My husband is still deployed and I am only able to work part time because of the kids home for distance learning. Christmas was going to be sparse if anything this year. A warm stuffie would be so loved, even by my oldest who is trying to be brave for his little sister! Mom of two in Las Vegas, a boy 8 and a girl 5. Thank you to all the angels!

Hi there. I’m in the United Kingdom, in Herne Bay. I’m #205 earlier in the list, and while my stuffies weren’t the ones on Jenny’s list, I stuck to Gund Stuffies. We’ve received the fox and the sloth, which are perfect, they are for my 3yo twins, and will be from Santa. They are the softest, sweetest, most lovely things ever. So thank you those who purchased them. Then the stuffie for my eldest was bought, so Santa will be visiting him as well. My 12yo, she was really hard to figure out what she would like, as she’s obsessed with Hello Kitty, and that’s the only kind of Stuffies she’s ever wanted or had. But then I found a Gund lazy egg avocado, and her favourite thing to eat is avocados. But the price has gone up to almost £24. I’m afraid to go look for another stuffie and put it on the list, that someone will think I’m trying to get extras, but at the moment, my daughter is the only one of my children who hasn’t been bought for, and I cannot afford to get her a stuffie. I’m actually on the local community pages begging people for scrap clothing, scrap fabric, anything they were thinking of donating, that I can sterilise and give her because she is the most creative person I know. She created her own among us Stuffies to give her friends for presents out of socks and she destroyed her only pillow in order to stuff them. She creates her own clothes, Barbie clothes, doll clothes. So I hate the idea that she is the one person Santa isn’t visiting.
The kids have had a really tough year this year, we are immigrants to the UK, and normally we see my mom every 6 months. This year I ended up in the hospital in January with a giant blood clot that broke up and ended up in my lungs. In March my son found me passed out on the toilet, I had a fistula in my small intestines, which explained why I had been throwing up all the time, it was creating so much malnutrition they said my numbers were like someone who had been starved for 6 months. My liver was also in the beginnings of liver failure. I was so swollen it pinched a nerve in my back and I was paralyzed from the waist down. I had to have blood transfusions, human protein transfusions, a picc line put in where I got 24 hour a day nutrition and nothing by mouth. I caught covid while in the hospital. I was in the hospital for 28 days, then spent 2 weeks self isolating at home, so 6 weeks my family didn’t see me because no visitors at the hospital. Then my mom finally showed up to visit, and 18 days into her trip was blue lighted to the hospital by ambulance, recussitated, had pneumonia and sepsis and spent a week in ICU. She finally came home and I ended up in the hospital for another week with the stomach flu. A week later my mom ended up there for another week as well, same stomach flu. At this point her boyfriend said they couldn’t stay with us anymore, and they rented a place for the rest of their visit, and the entire time they were here, he didn’t allow her to spend time with us, he monopolised her time. She left, and we are trying to figure out how to get anyone Christmas presents anyhow, because all the throwing up made my teeth bad and I just had to have £1100 of dental work which was every ounce of our savings
Anyhow. All this just to say please can someone get my daughter her stuffie so all 4 have a Christmas present from Santa under the tree?

(I don’t see the avocado on your list so I’m thinking maybe someone bought it for you? ~ Jenny)
(Update: I came back to check and looks like your stuff is on the way! Yay! ~ Jenny)
Got you, Jarvis #368. We Michiganders have to stick together. Merry Christmas
#375 – you are all set!
Jenny – it says the unicorn is almost out of stock!!
(They usually restock every day two but if they don’t by tomorrow I’ll switch the link to another stuffy. Thanks! ~ Jenny)
Ann #338 this is Kris from 205, 206. I will go change it then if it says it can’t be sent. My son will love the one you got for him.
Meghan #298 this is Kris from #205/206 I discovered that apparently the egg/avocado I had picked for my daughter wasn’t able to be purchased, so my daughter is still without a stuffie if you are still wanting to purchase for her. She is addicted to hello kitty and I found a Gund hello kitty (was trying to stick to Gund as that was the kind of.stuffies Jenny mentioned but they are so differently priced or difficult to find her the ones she mentioned). These Stuffies will be their Santa presents because it’s the wonderful Santa’s from Jenny’s page making sure they have a present under the tree. This is my twins first year of being aware of Santa, so I think I’m going to make it a tradition that Santa only brings Stuffies. That way I know I should hopefully always be able to at least afford a present from Santa for them.
(Hmm. I was going to email you an amazon card but apparently you can’t use Amazon US cards in the UK and vice versa. How complicated. Leaving your comment here in case a UK person is around. ~ Jenny)
(Update: I came back to check and looks like your stuff is on the way! Yay! ~ Jenny)
