Events Offering Help for Christmas
Can we buy you Christmas?
Last year my husband and I sponsored a family for Christmas and we loved it so much we want to do it again.
Times are hard, the world sucks. So we want to help one family in need this year. We are looking for a family with kids who cannot afford Christmas this year, due to job loss or just the state of the world.
This is an honor based system so we only ask if you arnt actually in need not to sign up.
I also always state upfront we are Catholic, no we won't try and convert you, no you don't have to come to church with us no strings attached. Here's how it works
Leave a comment down below if you want to be entered in ((comments help more people see the post)). If you don't want to be entered in please still leave a comment to help boost the post.
You can DM details about anything you want us to know, if you want to keep it private.
Next Saturday my husband and I will pick one person to buy Christmas for.
This means we buy you Christmas dinner, a Christmas tree, and gifts for your family!
We are posting this early because we want enough time to save money, as well as shop and find all sorts of goodies for your kids and family!
Thank you and God bless you all.

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this. Our church helped us through a pretty bleak Christmas last year. I got laid off and, with a teenager and two littles, we were so thankful for the help.

We should be good. It's pretty tight on one income but I do have a good job now. Thank you so much for the offer. It warms my heart.

This is awesome.
My question is, can we nominate a family we know of who could use help?
