Operation Sandy Christmas

We are working our hardest to make this Christmas a memorable one for people affected by Super Storm Sandy.

Teams of Volunteers have begun Stuff A Bus campaigns and Toy Drives to help the families that will spend their Christmas in shelters. If you or your family is in a shelter and will be there through Christmas please contact us. We would like to make your holiday a bit brighter. Generous people are looking to support families and Sandy Christmas is where they can come to get information.

Shelters that are looking for more help with Gifts or Volunteers during the holiday season should check out our Shelter Section. Volunteers or people wishing to donate can get information in the Donation or Volunteer Sections.

If you see a post that you would like to be an Angel for please contact us with the link or title of the post or simply comment on the post. We will match you with the family.

4 of the Cutest Lil Girls need our help

December 14th, 2012

Hi Everyone! By now, you all know we (Sandy Christmas) are supplying those affected by super storm Sandy with holiday gifts this year. Again, I NEED YOUR HELP!!

Do me a favor and spread the word… I have 4 little girls that have just been added to my wishlist children. I will attach their requests. I am delivering to them tomorrow, and am hoping we can find someone to sponsor them. Please forward this to anyone and everyone you know. I would need the donations today(early tomorrow morning, the latest)… Even target GC would be helpful. We can do the shopping for them. Any of my friends that would seriously like to make a donation can reply to this and I will purchase the GC for them. I would hate for these kids to not have anything on Christmas morning.
Most of this is also on Facebook, but I know you dont all have it so I sent it to you.
Sorry to bother you… but spreading the word right now is our best bet!! :)
Thanks ALWAYS! Fingers crossed…

You can only get what you ask for

December 12th, 2012

Generous People This is a late entry but if we can help this family please contact Sandy Christmas at operation@sandychristmas.org

oh wow your amazing thank you so much!
i have 2 boys ages 8 and 7 both in size 8 husky jeans and 8-10 shirts.

i have heard nothing from my boys but that they want an xbox.
its not feasible for me but if theres maybe any gift cards i can add with my own savings
i know that’s a lot to even ask but they told me they would give up all other presents and join their gifts for one xbox. its sweet but probably not guna happen. but you cant get an answer if you never ask right!

my boys both enjoy legos ninjiago and pokemon.
their shoe sizes are 5 and 4 and a half.
they also like the herf guns and baseball.

as for me i wouldn’t mind a gift card to pay a bill or gas to drive my angels to school. my main need is for them to have something under the tree that didn’t come from the dollar store again. my mother is 65 and loves ladybugs. but again we own our home and just need to catch up on the bills before our tree wont be able to light for non payment of electric lol. shes a size 3 x top but xl bottoms very hard to shop for clothing for her. shes on oxygen 24/7 so shes on the couch all day drinking tea and stressing over bills. i wish i could do more for her especially shes raised 9 kids and has taken in foster kids along the way. i wish i could get a job for christmas thatd be a savior but i know your probably overloaded with wants and needs from everyone so anything for us would be appriciated greatly. karma is an amazing thing and you will be blessed im sure. thank you sooooo very much for trying to help its more than i can ask for that people like you even exist! thanks again and have a wonderful holiday
