This Secret Santa tradition we've created humbled us beyond words and we were so excited to pay for five families' Christmas gifts, dinner, and traditions, once again! The Freebs community completely BLEW. Last year, 2019, was the most mind-blowing year so far as we once again invited you to join in our efforts to give back at Christmas time. In 2018, we once again personally paid for five family Christmases, and you wonderful Freebs helped us to provide for 28 MORE family donations, meaning we were able to help over 30 families who needed the extra love and support during the holidays. In 2017, we wanted to give back even more and were able to personally pay for Christmas for five families and you, amazing Freebs, opened your hearts and donated enough to make it possible to give 18 MORE families a beautiful Christmas. Wouldn't you know… in 2016, you Freebs were also touched by the stories I shared! Donations, none of which I even asked for, poured in and we were able to help 14 MORE families with your additional donations! I can't describe the feeling of going to my PayPal account and seeing so many hundreds of dollars, generously donated. I feel a special bond and connection with them that will (for lack of a less cheesy term…) stay with me forever.īut then, something amazing happened… FREEBS MAKING MIRACLES HAPPEN I am still in contact with these sweet families they have touched my heart to the core.
I sponsored three different families and paid for their Christmas - completely unsponsored. (All the feels, basically.) My heart swelled in joy over you good Freebs who took the time to share such stories with me, but also so sad for those who were going through such hard things. Hundreds of nominations poured in within hours, and as I read every one, I was overwhelmed. Not knowing where to start, I turned to you Freebs for nominations and suggestions. Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, in 2016 I decided to take income that ads bring to my site and give it back to some special Freebs in need to help pay for their Christmas. In the last several years, my businesses have been blessed. Just think! If every one of us was to donate $1-5, how many families could we bless this year? Please just write “Secret Santa” on the memo so my accountant doesn't put me on the naughty list :). Venmo When submitting donations through PayPal, please choose the friends and family option.You have asked, and the answer is YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Please, yes! The more donations, the more families we can help! If you feel inclined to help, 100% of money donated will go straight to the families. Thank you for donating to help us help over 200 families this Christmas! “Can I donate to help a family this Christmas?” I want to change all of that for a group of families in need, and I need your help to do it!
But it can also be a time of great challenges and strife to some.
We are happy to have a platform that we can use for good! The holidays are really a wonderful time of year and bring so much joy to so many families. November has totally snuck up on us this year, but we absolutely love this time of year! We are thinking about all the things we are thankful for, one of them being this wonderful community of Freebs! We're ready to launch our 5th year of the Freebs Secret Santa project and we need YOUR help!! It's that wonderful time of year again! Our hearts turn to gratitude and Thanksgiving as we prepare for the holidays.
