I'd like to help in a small way
December 21, 2010 5:23 PM   Subscribe

I would like to help someone who has fallen on hard times this year. Doesn't matter who or why. I have a few hours to oder via Amazon Prime and have a gift delivered in time for Christmas. If you or someone you know is in need, please send mefi mail. I'll send along a modest gift.

I wish I had come up with this idea, but I'm copying a post on Reddit. If this is inappropriate for AskMefi, I apologize. Seems like a nice thing to do and to have my children participate in. I know there are plenty of other ways to give, and we do. I'd like to do something within the context of the Metafilter community.

I think the PinkSuperHero was organizing anonymous gifting in NY City, she might have a list.

Having said that, I don't think this is a good post for AskMe.

We're done with the list, but MeMail me, I have an address for you.

You could sort of do this by choosing a hospital listed on Child's Play. It's a good use of your Amazon Prime membership and will help deserving people, but will not have the same effect of sending a gift to someone who wasn't expecting one at all.
