Dear reddit: My Christmas request
First things first. This is not a plea for money. You will find no PayPal link at the end of this message.
My wife and I are currently jobless both due to health reasons. We were living on unemployment but that's played out now and we have zero income. We are with the help of our doctors applying for disability benefits but that's a slow process. Anyway, none of this is about us, I just wanted to throw in a little background info.
What this is about is our 13 year old son. Since we are struggling to find ways to pay our rent and feed ourselves it is going to be hard to do much for his Christmas this year. Still, as I said I am not asking for money. Here's the thing, he's a bit of a geek like his old man and loves memes, from reddit and the internet in general. He also like most people loves getting something in the mail with his name on it.
Throughout the years that I've been a redditor I've seen what you guys can do to with letters and cards to make someones Birthday etc a little more fun.
That's all I'm asking. If even a few of you could send a little note, drawing, card or whatever it would really make his Christmas a little more fun. I'm going to post my address at the end of this post and hope at least a few of you will take the time to respond.
His name is Matt.
