So last year at Christmas a group of us in the lounge were made aware of a group of kid who lived without parents in the US
one of our members (sugarmomma) was their social worker .... somebody suggested why not sent them a Christmas card from
the various States wishing them a happy Christmas ...

Most of the card held a few dollars so they could buy a few extras ..from these kind people
we even had card arriving from Canada and Dingo and you just cannot believe how little is was to do ...but what a great effect it had ...

So I though lets expand it a bit this years and get kids in the US Canada Australia NZ and even the UK

so if there are any Social workers or you know of any kids in a family who we could send a bunch of card too

We will just go for one group per country this year

Cheers Ray....

Great Idea.... not sure how its going to work. Any suggestions?

It worked last Christmas from a thread that was opened in The Lounge. Someone (Sugarmooma) knew a family of children who had no parents. We sent cards and money to the kids via SM. So if someone knows of a similar needy case please shout out.

SM? snail mail?

Yes...we sent the kids cards c/o Sugarmooma and put the money inside. Some may have used PayPal for the money plus a Christmas card.

Have we thought of a needy family as the OP suggested? - any suggestions anyone? there are lots out there............................

BTW - can someone highlight this thread?? - I don't know how to do it.............

Thats a great idea and seems like a very worthy cause count me in .My wife works on an oncology department In Nova Scotia . If you need any needy families there are plenty there. Its unimaginal the emotional and financial hardship some families are forced to endure when a child gets cancer.

If she knows a family that would appreciate a few extra cards ...
do say so ... they can be sent to your wife for distribution or the hospital

hi guys what a great idea!!! i'm in england and would be more than willing to sent a card and a few bucks to some one needy! my OH and i wanted to foster before we started with the immigration thing so we're more than willing to help!!! hope some one finds some one needing!!!!!

top bloke!! we need suggestions for a needy family in Canada..........

Ray do you have a name yet? If not I may be able to put a name your way. It would be the name of a child with cancer in the Toronto area and would be in liaison with the Big Brothers Little Sisters Foundation.

Its up to the people of Moose ... I cant wipe their ass for them
All I have had from them is a rambling PM about what a terrible idea it is ...

Shame on them. No use me trying to find the name of a child who may not be around to celebrate next Christmas then.

Really? surprising and a tad disappointing.
