Christmas help
I see all the time diffrent organizations or groups that help low income families out with Christmas from baskets to gifts. I think that this is a great thing and it should continue. I just dont completly understand why these organizations or groups help only low income families? There are alot of families out here that need help this holiday season but cannot "qualify" because they make too much money. Me and my family are one of those families. Me and my husband work hard to support our three mentally handicapp children and we struggle to just get by. But we cannot qualify for any assistance because our income is too high. I think the organizations or groups need to look at who they help as who needs it the most not who makes the least.

Just now on the noon news there was a story about George Clooney donating a chunk of money to the writers on strike who are "suffering". Part of me thought, 'wow how generous', the other part said 'what the f**k. There are much more needier causes'. Shouldn't these people have prepared since they knew they would be striking around the holidays? Shouldn't their union be helping them?

The point of this blog was that there are those of us out here that are working our as# off and doing our best to support our Families and sometimes things get tough and we need a little extra help, but there is nothing out there for us because we don't qualify, so we do our best with what we have, which at times is nothing. |
