Is there any organizations or private families that would help my family and myself with Christmas?

Family
Kisha D asked:


I work everyday and all my paycheck goes to paying the bills for my family to be able to have somewhere to live,food on the table and lights and water. I work so that my family can have the things that they need to live, and this year I am unable to get Christmas gifts for my children. I just wanted to know if there was someone out there that would help a family in need. I live in Madison NC and all of the organizations that help with Christmas has a deadline and on the days that they offer service I had to work and could not get up there to sign up for any help this year. So if there are any people,companys, or organizations out there that would help me please let me know. Thank you very much for your time and your help would be very much appreciated.

How do I go about donating money to a SPECIFIC family in Palestine?

Family
Uebermaedchen asked:


A woman just gave birth to quintuplets in Gaza City. I would like to send them a gift, of money, to help them. Does anyone have any idea how I would locate this family? Or even identify them so that I can send such a gift to the hospital to give to them? Can anyone think of anyway that I could make sure that THIS family gets the gift? As opposed to some other random family…
Any ideas are appreciated!

What do you think about an adopt a family type charity program?

Family
fullofideas4u asked:


Really wealthy people are always donating to major charities. why not take a low income family and enable them to do better? Thing like provideing transpotation, paying for Mom or Dad to go to trade school or college, pay 6 months of rent and utilities so they can get on there feet? Or buy groceries while they go to school and such. That type of thing. If I hit the lotto thats what i’d do adopt a family.
I don’t mean as a one time help thing I mean to really look out for them and help them in various ways to become more successful.

Anyone know of an organization that donates bikes to a low income family with a special needs child?

Family
Searcher asked:


I’ve just heard of a family in Florida that has a young girl who is special needs. Their family cannot afford a bike and the person who told me about this just lost his job. The young girl’s bike was recently destroyed and he would like to give her a new bike to replace the other bike.

I’m wondering if there are any community service groups in Florida that can be contacted regarding this child? I’m not sure where this family lives, but I’d like to see if this family can be helped with a new bike.

Thank you.

Sending a package to a family in Africa?

Family
Teetoe asked:


OK, so me and my friend are wanting to fill shoeboxes full of stuff for families in Africa, but we don’t know where to send it. We kind of want to send it to an….individual family, if that makes sense…like, we want to address it to one certain family.
So our question is, is there any way to find the names of families currently living in Africa and be able to send packages to them? If there is, can you please post a link for it? Thank you so much!

How can I construct a house for a shelter-less family affected by Pakistan’s earthquake?

Family
nawab100 asked:


I want to help a Pakistani family and provide them with shelter since their house was damaged in the earthquake of October 2005. I have the money and want to know if there is some company which will construct the house on a turn-key basis. The family is located close to Bagh in Northern Pakistan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Time is of the essence because construction can only happen for another two months after which the monsoon season will set in and construction will stop.

Further to Jesse’s suggestion, I have already tried some relief organizations and they only provide housing in bulk to pre-arranged areas, not on individual basis.

How does a family volunteer with children during the holidays?

Family
The Quickened One asked:


My husband and I live very far from any family and every year we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with just our small children. As this is nice and special, we both wish to make this year and possibly the the future years memorable ones and do something meaningful.

Since our kids are small, we know that this will pose a roadblock to certain things.

But we wish to start volunteering our Thanksgiving and/or Christmas Eve nights to a shelter, hospice or nursing home.

Anyways, any other suggestions?

God bless

What are you doing to prepare your family and community for disaster, natural or man-made including terrorism?

Family
anoldmick asked:


We live in a dangerous world and being unprepared costs many lives and untold dollar amounts yearly. There is much the individual can do other than depend on the oft-times undependable government - remember the non-response following Hurricane Katrina? What do you suppose YOU can do to help your family and your community best prepare for a disaster of any sort?

MY church has been asked to help the family of an undocumented alien?

Family
Bakunin asked:


My church has been asked to help the family of an undocumented alien. The man is a good worker, married with 2 small daughters, but unable to find adequate work to sustain his family. The family has next to no English speaking skills. We’d like to help him find work, to get food for the family and clothing, not to mention pay rent, etc. What resources exist out there that can provide assistance to undocumented aliens (without forcing them to give up their dignity, not branding them as criminals, as our government would do)?
