A Challenge for good
 

I and my family are sponsoring a less advantaged family for Christmas this year. We are buying them a tree, decorations, christmas meal, and presents for their two kids.
I challenge all other members of Abandonia to show their Christmas spirit and (if you are able) to find a family to sponsor for christmas. Remember my friends, this is what christmas is really about. CARING and SHARING. Alot of us have been gifted with good jobs and families. Lets get out there and help some families and especially kids have a great christmas.
M:thumbs:EET THE CHALLENGE!!!

i get like 5 letters of "families in south africa who need help in order to transfer money from their dead cousin who left 5 billion dollars for them but they cannot take the money because they have no bank account, so please help us" per week, so maybe i'll help some of those, what do you guys think

Uh, there aren't really any exchange controls here any more. So maybe ... perhaps ... they just might be trying to cheat you? :max: Oh well, give them your banking details anyway. :amused:

They surely are. :)

you guys don't get a single joke=P

Fully seconded.
:yawn:

You never know. Might be that one of those 5 is for real. I think you should go for it! What's losing a couple thousand from your bank account compared to the chance to gain a few million? Better chances than playing the lottery, right?

And if you don't know THIS is a joke, you're denser than lead!

Back on topic: My boy is getting old enough to understand how lucky he is to have a home, 3 meals, and the many other amenities. I'm thinking about taking him to a local soup kitchen for a day so he can see just how lucky he is.

:amused: "Irony": It doesn't involve pressing clothes...

I think I'll be searching for someone to sponsor me. :p

:amused: Hopefully *not* as a mail-order bridegroom...
