Well good for you that you know your limit and still want to make your ds happy! I have a big problem with the toys4u catalogue! My kids have almost everything with no room for more yet when they see the catalog they go crazy with how everything is displayed on glossy pages. They drool over this magazine and beg non stop. It’s okay for them to want but it’s not okay for them to get everything they want.
The other day I was in amazing savings buying a new hot water urn. I couldn’t believe as I was waiting in line, this lady comes over to me with boxes of toys in her arms and asked me if I could help her pay for them. She told me that she wanted to buy these things for her kids for Chanuka and couldn’t afford it! How irresponsible! Why would she take things off the shelf if she can’t pay?? Anyway it was still 4 weeks before Chanuka... it was the middle of the day.. could she get a job so she could buy whatever she wants? I told her she should go to dollar tree since the toys there are much cheaper!
It’s one thing if someone asks you if they can buy something for you but to walk into the store and ask people to help you pay...

You come across as very judgmental.
I bentch you that you will never have to know firsthand what it feels like to be judged for not being employed.

I’m right with finances, and have to beg for tuition cuts etc..
I look perfectly healthy yet am not able to work.
I’m sure I get judged often by people like you.

You could have used the opportunity to be dan l’kaf z’chus.
Such a shame.

Why? If I’d like to give to anyone it would be you. I feel like I know you. And you’ve helped me a lot. I’d like to return the favor.

I wish I knew you both. Imamother at its best Smile

Mommy3b2c, my Hashem shower you with brachah, hatzlachah, parnassah, good health for you and your entire family, beautiful shalom bayis. I’ll admit I don’t post often but I can’t let this go without bestowing upon you brachos. As others have said may you always be on the giving end.

Hi.

I got lots of responses and with the help of some wonderful Imamothers I’m trying to put it all together. I don’t think we will be able to send out everything because there was a lot, and I have a limited amount I can give. We will try our best to send the most possible. If you don’t end up getting this time, I apologize. You can reach out to me in a few weeks time and I will try to help then. I hope everyone has a wonderful Chanukah, and Hashem should bless everyone with an amazing parnassa.

What you are doing is amazing. Just a suggestion to let those who are or not receiving so that they can try to make other plans.

I second this idea. I PMd a few days ago and didn't get a response. I'm not complaining in any way but it's nice to know if you'll be getting it or not.

I will try my best. It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s been very confusing. A lot of people sending multiple messages. I can’t wven remember who’s who at this point. I’m trying my best.
