Update..........Part One (make sure to read Part Two)

Sorry for the delay with the update, but have been so busy between my youngest child finishing up 5th grade. Had dances, moving on ceremonies, year end school parties, etc. Than getting him activities for the summer to do, all around planning for his annual trip to visit his grandparents.

First off, I'd like to thank all you, who have sent monetary gifts to help out. You all are amazing!! I have sent out 2 more "Thank You' gifts, since the last one I posted about. To Mr. Norm W., of S. Carolina, a $5.00 Target Gift Card.

Make sure to read "Update....Part Two" as well.

My first Thank You Gift

Has been sent out to John L., of Florida.

Thank you for your gift and hope you enjoy yours!!

I still have 4 gifts left to send out.

Please read all previous posts!

Wow! From the looks of it, I should be sending out the first of my thank you gifts out by week's end.

Thank you so much to those that have helped. It is truly appreciated!!

Check back for more updates!

My gifts of Thanks

My goal (see post below) is to get 250 monetary gifts for 3 families I am trying to help.

If you would like to help, plus possibly receive a nice little gift of thanks, please see the info you need in the "My Goal" post.

My Thank you gifts will be as follows:

The 15th monetary gift received = a $5.00 Target Gift Card
The 30th monetray gift received = a $5.00 Target Gift Card
The 60th monetray gift received = a Brand New ChefMate 2 slice toaster ($10.00 Value)
The 150th monetary gift received = a brand new KitchenAid Sinkware Set ($30.00 Value)
The 240th monetary gift received = a brand new Rival 16 qt. Roaster Oven ($30.00 Value).

All items are brand new, never used, still have owner manuals (if they were included from manufacturer originally) and original packaging inside and out.

Please note, if you are the receiver of any of the gifts listed above, you agree to have your FIRST name only posted here on this blog. We would also, like to invite you to write a blurp for this page as well upon receving your thank you gift.

My Goal

My goal is to get 250 monetary gifts for the 3 families listed below, in the other posts (Please read about them).

The amount doesn't matter at all. $250.00 could sure help with a couple of bills, buy a couple of outfits, whatever the greatest need is them. It will be divided equally amongst them (unless there is a particular family you want to help). So anything from $1.00 up would be so greatly appreciated.

At this time, I can not accept checks, money order's or cashier's checks, due to possible fraud or NSF (my account can't handle financial blows).

Please send the following information:

Name (First name is only needed at this time)
Email (So if you are to be the receiver of the gifts I am giving, I can notify you and get mailing information for your gift.) *I will not email you, unless you are to receive the gift, I will not sell or share your email information. All info is shredded when no longer needed for the purpose of possibly receiving a gift*
Which family to help? 1, 2, 3 or ALL.

and monetary gift to:

The Owens
66 Palomino Cir
Boca Raton, Fl. 33487

Also, I only ship within the 48 contiguous states. It will be shipped either via USPS, Fed Ex, or UPS. There is no additional shipping costs, that's all part of the gift. It will be shipped the least expensive method.

Helping

I love helping these families in any way I can. Of course, there's only so much I can do. I have been in tight spots, and am so thankful for when other's have come to my aid. I'm not well, off, far from it, but I am in a position right now, where I make a modest living, have a secure roof over my head, am able to put food on the table 3 times a day for my family. We are even able to go do an extra activity now and then (movie, mini golf, ice cream, out to dinner, etc.). There was a time we couldn't even do these types of things.

In turn for the kindness and help others showed us, I wanted to turn around and help others, and I have, I will continue to do so, as well.

But, I want to say an extra thank you to all those out there that want to help. Now, I can't possibly thank each and every person, but if you read the post above this one, these are the ways I have to thank some folks.
