I feel a little awkward posting this - blame my husband. So I had a full day convincing the county to move Nick to us ahead of schedule and going to the school to fill out every form in their office to get him moved. So, we get him this Friday, permanently. I was talking to my husband yesterday about the things we have for the boys for X-Mas - I don't know about you, but I usually do one big thing and then fill in with smaller stuff. We decided not to buy for each other this year, Nick will be our gift. But, the reality is setting in that we will have three boys for the holiday. As I was speaking to my husband, I mentioned to him that a reader approached me and asked to help out with the kids gifts. It was very flattering and heartwarming, and the gift was generous to say the least. Please, don't reply to this thread. In fact, if I can figure it, I'll lock it because it's not about anything other than we wanted to try and do more than we are currently capable of. To that end, if you'd like to do so, my husband set up a Go Fund Me for their presents (he claims it's been used for much sillier things) and that link is here. We also shop through Amazon, and I recently found that my email is all you need to send a gift card - dabeagle@nycap.rr.com Like I said, I feel a little awkward and please, don't feel compelled by any means. I'm just swallowing a little pride and saying if you'd like to, that's there. Thanks.

This is fast. I thought they sat on their hands there. Don't feel bad because you were caught with your pants down this time. If I had the funds, you would have them.

I admire you and your husband for taking in children in need and providing them with a safe & stable home environment. As someone who grew up in a single parent home with two brothers i know what it is like to wake up Christmas morning and not have the "big" Christmas like other kids. There is no shame in asking for help in a situation like this, it's just another sign of how much you care for these young men that you would "swallow your pride" and admit that the cost of providing them a decent Christmas overwhelmed you since so many extra expenses come with adding two more people to your household. With 3 boys i'm sure the cost of food alone more than doubled. Have you checked with groups such as Toys for Tots to see if they might be any help.
I urge any readers who can spare a few dollars keep Dave & family in mind.
