Okay first of all......what is wrong with people? For all you people know she could be using the internet at the library. Things happen...my mom and dad have 6 children...and they have done very well for themselves and then after 9/11 my airline pilot father and flight attendent mother took HUGE pay cuts and lost their pensions. So I understand where this woman is coming from. You never really know someones situation so who are all of you to judge! Your the type of people that make people feel terrible about themselves!
I will email you! Good luck.

Felt very sorry to hear all. I dont know for this christmas because its very near. However to stabilise your financial condition, you may look out for an option to work online to make some extra cash. I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I would like to share a link where you can make $600 in a month working at home. The work need to be done is posting a discussion and answering a discussion. the link is:

if you work smartly, you can even make $1000 or more.. it all depends on your usage pattern. I worked for 2 hour daily last month and i got paid $238 for the last month. Its not bad after all, i am happy and making more. After sign up, do mail me to know the tips on how to increase your earning.
Please let me know, if you have any queries. I will try my best to give you right answer
(PS: When u are planning for a home based online work, be very careful because most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site.)

Contact Salvation Army, the Red Cross, and United Way and let them know of your circumstances. They should help you. Your husband needs to find a better paying job. Also there are places where you can sign up and receive toys for the kids for Christmas. When you call these places ask them where. The Salvation Army will give you a food basket for Christmas but you have to sign up to get it.

what would I do? I think I would use some of the money to buy things the children really needed (if I couldn't afford to get them myself) I would explain to the 5 year old that the relative had given some money and let that child know what I had bought with it ( things needed) and let that child choose a small toy from shop. The rest of the money I would put in savings accounts for when the kids are older ( college fund?). I would thank the relative explain what I'd done with the money and send them a pic of the kids ( with some of the new things of I'd used the money to buy )

You can try cashcrate if you want but it does take some time to get the $. How about signing up at the local churches, Sal. Army, places like that. I know you have 5 kids but if you could handle Maybe 2 more that would give you around $200. wk. Just trying to think of ways for you.

If you have a clean record you could sell plasma (much like donating blood only a little longer and you make 10-30 dollars each time)
The only thing I can think of is looking on the internet for a program (Salvation Army, Those drop off things at Wal-Mart, etc.) that helps give kids a happy Christmas.
Good Luck!

How about for toys, make them but make them good enough for the kids to be happy. Or try getting toys for tots or other organizations, maybe there's a friend or family member out there that can loan you some, not much though money. You just pay them back every 2 weeks a certain amount..

Please don't use all capital letters. It's rude online.
That aside, what you need to do is contact Toys for Tots in your county. They can help by letting you "shop" for gifts with them.
Another thing you can do is contact your local churches, the police station, and the fire department. Churches sometimes adopt families, and police & fire men will usually sponser shopping trips for kids. That is, they'll take the children shopping to pick out what they want from the stores.
You could probably find help for food and clothing as well. Good luck!

Do you belong to a church? They may have help for families that are having a hard time. Sometimes, they have toys available for circumstances such as yours. How about the local thrift stores? I donate many things to these stores in hopes they will pass these items on at a very reduced rate. I hopt this information is helpful to you.

I really am not a mean person but if you have no money then how are you paying for internet service? Anyway...Try a local church, where they sometimes have "adoption" of families at Christmas and sometimes your kids can even ask for a specific (reasonable) item they want or call social services or family services (state agency) and ask them where you might get some help.
