I've been trying to find just the "right" person to help. Haven't found them yet although I know there are tons of people that need it. But it will come to me somehow before Christmas.
A little thing I did that was spur of the moment was I was in line at walmart a couple of nights ago and a young family in front of me had a cart full of grocercies - necessities, not beer and stuff like that. They had a small child in the cart. They were paying with some form of assistance - it was a piece of paper, not sure what that is. And they were deciding if they had enough "credit" on this piece of paper to get a barbie birthday cake for their little girl and a barbie doll which they were going to pay for with cash. Turns out they told the cashier to take the cake and doll off. I quietly asked if they'd let me buy the cake and barbie and they were hesitant, but agreed. I felt like they were trying to do the right things for their family so the least I could do was provide them with the few $ it was for the cake and barbie.
If they'd had a cart full of crap like beer and sugary snacks and potato chips I may have felt different, but they only had things like chicken, milk, bread, frozen veggies, cereal, lunch meat, stuff like that. Seemed like they were trying to feed their child as best they could.
I'm still looking for someone to "help." I don't have much this year but my outlook has really changed. What I used to think was important seems so irrelevent now. Having "things" just doesn't really appeal to me anymore.
