[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 482435, member: 1169"] Buddy -- never be embarrassed to reach out for help when you truly need it. People want to help. Our church was very concerned a couple of years ago because there was a huge increase in the number of families asking for help at Christmas. The priests mentioned during the sermons that the need was unusally high this year and any help would be greatly appreciated. My mom (who runs our 'giving tree' program) was pleasantly shocked as those that could help, did help and every single family got a full Christmas dinner, enough other food for a week, and several gifts for each child. And....they had enough gifts left over that they drove them to a very poor church in the next town, which allowed them to ensure that every child there got at least one gift too. Every year, they have a family that had come for help return and donate to the next set of families. Sometimes they have a family that has donated for years, come and ask for help this year. That is the best of humanity, when we help those we can and reach out for help when we need it. [/QUOTE]
