I had an idea......one that would make a great Christmas for these kids...
I don't know the ages of the kids... but...what if they got together a Christmas list for these kids...kind of a what I want for Christmas.... set it up like a baby shower where the boaters could pick something off the list and buy it for them for Christmas..Like I was telling Coleboater, you can't help everyone, but sometimes God calls on you to help ...Kinda like Christmas angels ....loosing every thing a few weeks before Christmas is gonna be tough...but if we all pull together, we can make it a great Christmas for these kids....so what do you all think..

this situation touches very close to home for me, I guessing that I was around 20, pregnant wife, one in the stroller, sheetmetal union threw a big ass strike and shut down construction in vegas, I had just moved back to vegas, no work in Cal, and was struggling to keep on my feet, I had 71 mach 1 mustang, we rented an old trailer out on LV blvd . in north town...pay by the week..broke, got about 3 weeks of work in..fire burned our car and trailer to the ground, along with everything else, including the rat hole money that I stashed to rent us a better place....I was able to ship the family off to relatives and stood guard at the trailer... slept in a lawn chair...the owner of the trailer park let me do some work...lol.. union carpenter, paid me 3 bucks an hour..my drywall tools were in the trunk of the car...burned, but salvaged a couple pieces...when the fire broke out , we were at the pool, so only clothes we had were swim wear, and beach towels..probley the longest 2 weeks ever in my life... jail time went by quicker...with the few bucks I was able to make,...I got enough money to rent another place..another trailer by the week...
So, as my life turned, and got a few bucks tucked away... every year I try to find a fire family to help around the Christmas holiday... I was on the hunt, usually I don't anything about the people, I try to give with my right hand with out my left knowning so to speak...the real joy of Christmas for me is to help others I don't know...most the people I know don't need anything... and a lot don't deserve want they got....lol... me included...
so, how can we make these kids have a great Chrismas....
