Is there any place online or somewhere that will help me get Christmas for my girls?
Hi, my good credit was ruined by a divorce and a loss of a job in feb2009. I was making ,000 a year so the judge thought he would give me ALL the marital debt, then i lost my job about a month later. I was at that job for 5 years. I bought my own house and expedition with nothing down, if that tells you a little about how my credit was. Then i lost my job, and had to file bankruptcy just so i would not loose my house, and then of course my ex fought me on the bankrupty and it got dismissed, but of course my credit has already been ruined. I make good money again, but im just trying to play catch up, and i am married again to a wonderful man, and the only thing we fight about is money that is it! For my entire life i was the one to ALWAYS help others and now, at my time of need there is no one. So does anyone know of any place online or whatever that will finance Christmas gifts even when you have pathetic credit if you can indeed prove your income? I could care less if i get anything, but my girls are still young, and i want to do something for my husband so bad, for what all he went through just because he loved me so much. Thanks for reading!
Sweetie it looks like you may have wanted until its too late to ask for help. In my area there are charitable organizations such as the forgotten child fund, shop with a cop, the angel tree, and toys for tots. Call your local human services, salvation army, first call for help, any local charities in your area, the partnership for families and children, and/or the united way. Also if you have a few dollars to spare try the dollar tree, big lots, kmart, the family dollar store. Look for items that are priced $5 dollars or less. And sit down and talk with your husband and explain to him how you’re feeling. He may have a solution.

June 4th, 2010 at 7:01 amI highly doubt it, the economy is bad, and their is a lot of heartless people in the world. There is still sales left over from black friday, all over, i’m sure they will appreciate anything from their mother. lots of little inexpensive gifts always makes children smile, rather than one expensive thing. hope that was a little help! happy holidays.
June 4th, 2010 at 7:01 amI don’t know of any place that will do what your looking for….however Walmart, Target and the Dollar Tree all have super great deals on toys and stuff this year.
Kmart and I think Sears are offering layaway plans.
Contact local food banks in your area and see if they still have spots open to hand out toys to kids in need. Sign up if there’s any spots left.
How young are your kids? Because if they are young enough you may be able to pass off a couple gently used/gently loved toys from thrift stores like Goodwill as something from Santa. Use newspaper to wrap it, preferably the Sunday comics if you can.
Walmart has a very nice selection of $10 gifts so they can each get one new toy if you can swing it.
Walgreens (if you have one in your area) has a decent selection of toys for kids under 8 for $5-10 bucks.
