On Christmas, Make A Poor Family Happy.

Thanks, M.A.R.,
We went out again early this morning and dropped into one of the houses from yesterday.
I've known the mother of the family for 15 years, and one of her daughters is my godchild, and named after my sister.
I asked the mother if they found anything on the doorstep the day before, and she was telling me that all the young kids in the neighbourhood were truly convinced that Santa Claus had come by the day before.
Man, what a feeling
, and the best is yet to come.PS: Thanks for the kind words.
I hope everybody realizes that a whole bunch of people have contributed to buying all these presents.
Thank you all for your help.
Not a bad feeling, right?
When my friend Mayra and her brother delivered all the goodies to each family, she told me "Miguel, you should had be been here, people were so happy, even my brother who claim to be so strong, was crying like a baby when he saw so many people crying of happiness, he was so touched that he decided to stay in the car the last 5 homes".
That's all that matters, making the less privileged happy.
But as I told Mayra: "You better tell your brother to get his manhood back since soon he will have to deal with the "Dia de Reyes" gifts". To which she replied: "Ay dios, se enbromo Carlos, jajajajaja".
My WONDERFUL mother, rest her soul, used to say that "for every 1 good thing you do, God will do 2 for you, even if it takes a little while for you to see it".

Keep up the good work buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Mguel, I am glad you resurrected this thread! After the damages caused by our storm last night, this will be even more important. If every poster could provide just one family with Christmas dinner then it would be a very good thing.
1- Chicken= 125 pesos each (I didn't write the price she gave me for pork)
2- Mixed nuts= 120 pesos
3- Candy bag= 90 pesos
4- Big Ponche= 140 pesos
5- Grapes= 60 pesos
6- Apples= 100 pesos
7- Rice (5 lbs)= 75 pesos
8- Gandules= 50 pesos
9- Spaghetti= 25 pesos
10- 2 liter Pepsi= 50 pesos
Prices have changed - just add 25% and it is still an easy thing to do! So for less then $40 US you can supply a much needed holiday treat.

Yes Planner and Miguel and I would be pleased to take anyone into barrios that need help with any food they wish to donate.
With the help of another poster from the U.S. we provided Christmas dinner for 3 families! It feels good to do! We did deviate from the basic list and added some goodies.
To me it is the true spirit of Christmas! We all seem to have so much and we just take it for granted.
Happy Holidays to everyone.
