I'm going through it now! But I don't try and prey on kind strangers...I utilize government programs and charities to get me through what is the most challenging time in MY life.. People gave you solid responses for resources and you shot everyone down and when asked if you were asking for money you all but flat out said yes. Your responses got my "ignorant " response.

Uhhhhh....pretty sure soliciting $$ from total strangers was her goal even tho I know this will get down voted. I've been in this situation but doing grimey shit like this felt WRONG (especially when 211 has every possible resource you'd ever need and is widely known throughout the state). Ppl gave u resources and you've rejected them all. Your kids are toddlers, chances are they won't remember this and a quick Google search has plenty of toy programs, but u knew that. You're being too picky and if you truly wanted Xmas gifts, ud sign up to every goddamn toy program, as I did...many of them ask for SPECFIC GIFTS for each child.
