Debbi Christiansen hasn't added a story.
Hello, my name is Chelsea Christiansen, and I want to help families for Christmas. When I was born, I was in the NICU where the wonderful doctors nurses helped me get better so I could go home. One year we didn't have much money and my mom went to buy groceries and her card was declined, so the lady in line behind her paid the whole bill. Another year at Thanksgiving someone left a huge turkey with all the trimmings on our doorstep. Through the years we have been helped by so many people, it's hard to count. This year I want to be the one helping other people. With the help of my mom Debbi, I am organizing this fundraiser so that we can help provide Christmas for other families in our area.
The economy this year is finally improving, but there are still so many people in need. Through the years so many people have reached out and helped my family that I have decided it's my turn to give back to the community. I am trying to raise funds to help some families in my area that I know won't have much of a Christmas without help. My goal is to help 5 families with presents and Christmas dinner, and maybe have some extra to help others that I know of as well. I want to help as many people as I can. With your help, I can make this happen.
I am asking everyone who reads this to donate just $10, the price of dinner if you eat out and don't use coupons. :) More is always appreciated, but I want to ask for small amounts because I don't want anyone to give more than they can really afford. If 250 people would donate $10, I could reach my goal of $2500 and be able to provide a wonderful Christmas for a lot of families. I'm asking everyone who can to please donate, and give me and my family a chance to give back to the community that has helped us so very much. Each donor will receive a personal "Thank You" from me and my mom for helping me reach my goals. If we manage to reach and pass our goal, any extra will be used to help other people in need this holiday season. With your help, we can make this a better Christmas for others. Thank you for your contribution. :)
