Sponsor your kids? If you're rich enough to use the internet I think you're rich enough to buy them a cheap present.

If you find out who does this sponsoring thing, please post the email address. I need a sponsor to give me a new backhoe undercarriage mount for the tractor. Oh yeah, and I want a new planishing hammer, not the cheap air hammer kind but the real one by Eckhold. And tires, for the Mustang. Come to think of it the 89 Mustang is a bit old, how about a sponsor for a new Shelby Cobra Mustang, preferably red with a gray interior and OSU team logos. And a new motorcycle, yeah, a new motorcycle. Any sponsors out there that give away new sport bikes. I want a Busa, custom paint, all black with a couple of micro red pinstripes, an NOS and a turbo. No helmet, I don't need no damned helmet. Just gimmie the subrame, the Mustang and the Turbo Busa, Remember Black Busa, Red and Gray Stang.
Oh Yeah, a face lift, I could use one of those too, and a tummy tuck to match. Naaaa h, not just a tuck, I need full pump lipo suction, probably as powerful as the one that pumps the septic tank. Yeah, that'l get me trim for the holiday season.
A couple of lottery tickets would be nice.
A coupld of tickets to the OSU -Florida game would be good too,
I need a sponsor, a real fat cat.

#1 Don't pay attention to the idiots on here who have never had to work for anything and who may not be able to realize that things like computers and internet access are becoming essential household NECESSITIES that are crucial to your children's education as well as your own life, these are no longer luxury items. A child without a computer in the house is going to be at a distinct disadvantage going forward. On the other hand, Christmas is a financial burden on a lot of people and people can't always find the money for this on top of their other bills.
#2 To your question, my girlfriend teaches at a city high school and there they have a program set up where the teachers can sponsor gifts for their students' families, including younger siblings. Even if your kids' schools don't have something like that, the guidance counselors at their schools may have suggestions. I would understand if you are embarrassed to go right in there and talk to them about it right away, you may be able to call on the phone and talk to the guidance counselors about it anonymously.
Otherwise I would suggest checking with the salvation army or local churches. Any of these organizations would have some resources for you. It may be a little late in the season to get on this, but if you can go out there and ask for help you may be surprised how many people are willing to give it.
As far as appealing directly to "wealthy people", well you see how well it was received by the holier than thou Yahoo! Answers crowd... I would suggest you stick to Churches, Salvation Army, Goodwill, School Districts, etc.

I need a sponsorship for our daughters as well. 1 year ago my husband was working for DON as a civilian worker making 100,000 a year. Unfortunately he was laid off with a couple thousand other civilian workers. We are broker than broke. I use free wifi at restaurants in my area, the laptop I own was purchased in full 2 years ago. Many americans have fallen on hard times so lets not be snobbish & hasty about internet access. BTW my hubby is a veteran as well so for ppl to sit behind their devices & judge us says it all. I bet those of you who are guilty of this couldn't last a day in boot camp let alone a war. so stay seated, continue to have no couth & let the adults reply!

Do you have a local Department of human Services in your area? I would start there, they will probably let you know about programs that you can sign up for where you can get christmas gifts delivered for your kids....as far as the wealthy people getting your kids something, well I'm sure they will say one thing to you "If you can afford a computer and the internet, get your own presents". Keep that in mind when asking for hand outs

I agree w/ the 2nd answer. You can't afford gifts for your kids but can afford Internet access? Oh let me guess, you are at the library?? If you really do need help, first get your priorities in order, and then contact human services in the county that you live in, your church, or Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart here has three giving trees for needy kids in my community.

If you are really in need check into toys for tots. Your local Marine Corps recruiting office should be able to give you the number to call. Also maybe the salvation army in your area. If your children are in school, check with the school, they often handle sign ups.
You may want to call soon, as the deadline for most programs will be soon.

its really sad that people can say such rude comments because someone is asking for a little help during the holidays Jesus s birthday mind you you know we as parents want the best for our children and want to give them as much as we can yes love and family and being together is most important but to a child they have the want for toys and gifts at Christmas even if they know that its not the most important its just the mind of a child to want toys and gifts and for a parent to have to ask for help from strangers only shows that the parent very much cares to make their child happy during a time when we should all be happy those who say such rude things that goes to show they don t have children or know what its like to love a child or the don t know what its like to struggle and most likely they were spoiled and think your so low class to ask for help or the grew up with out the love of that they see you have for your child so it makes them bitter and that s very sad because that is what they will pass on to their children if they ever have any people who don t know love cant give love. all you can do and say to people like that is I will pray for you and you continue to have the guts to ask strangers for help cause you wont get it if you don t ask and all your doing is everything you can for your children if I could I would help but I to need a little help as my little boy has been battling cancer for a few years now and we to fount this page looking for help these rude people what they were looking to be mean when they found this page cause I don t get why they would be mean and say what they say but like I said all I can say to them is I will pray for them as well as those looking for help during this holiday season may everyone have a wonderful holiday and may god bless you all and all your family and loved ones. =)

If you can afford to be on here, you can afford an inexpensive gift. Alot of people don't have much sympathy for folks begging for support when they appear to have more money than they claim to have.
