I own a contractor referral service in Colorado Springs, CO. We are sponsoring a Christmas Blessings Program to bless a special family. We have selected the family and are prepared to move forward with organizing their blessing. The family resides in this area: we will be re-furnishing and renovating their home, starting a sholarship fund for their children, providing them with a new car (hopefully) and bringing them into the 21st Century with at least two new computers for the children. We need volunteers to help with the construction/renovation, etc. You may IM, email, or call us if you're interested.

What a bunch of jerks! Did half of you not even read the question?! He didn't ask for money, he asked for volunteers for the construction. Your time, your sweat, not your piggy bank. Heaven forbid someone have to dip in their pocket for a stranger instead of throwing it at a charity who makes the recipients actually feel like charity cases instead of human beings.

I'm don't live in that area, however I want to tell you that this is wonderful and your heart is in the place. It is too bad that in general people love to help/support/donate, but are skeptical due to all kinds of scams going on. It sometimes takes a little bit more info before folks are willing to donate money from a distance.

I wished I could help you. If you know of any rebuilding going on in Barrie, Ontario. You can get a hold of me and I would be more then willing to help out.
I hope that you will get volunteers to help you with this great project of yours.

This is great and I would love to say that I could help but don't live anywhere close to you. Hope everything works out for this family and may God bless you and them.

Is this family perhaps your own family?
its kind of odd that you randomly selected only one family to help. Why don't you just try to collect donations and work from there.

WOW!! What a wonderful thing to do. Check with any christian organization out there. If your a member of a church, then tell them what your up too. Maybe they could help. My prayers are with you.
