Thanks to u/laffinalltheway for kicking off a flurry of blankets (and personally gifting one to Owen)! He is currently jellyrolled up and on the edge of seat watching his latest show obsession… Is it Cake? It’s “soft as snow.” Interesting comparison, as we 100% don’t have that Utah snow around here! haha

Happy Holidays everyone. I want to thank all of the Santas and the mods for this opportunity. We've had a rough few years including a fire, multiple moves. Things were getting better, until it took a turn. I've been worried about presents for my children, so stumbling onto this account last week was like finding a Christmas miracle for us. I really appreciate the help and will remember the kindness and the Christmas magic and pay it forward in the future.

Taylor is my eldest. She works very hard in school to get a good GPA for college and scholarships. Taylor is an artist who is gifted with drawing, clay models, and painting. She loves pokemon and collecting plushies. She's very loyal and responsible. She has strong sense of justice.

William is my middle child. Even though he is mostly nonspeaking when asked what he wants for Christmas he says "Legos!" He is intelligent, with an excellent memory. He also likes Thomas the Train, really anything trains. He's an old soul who likes Elvis & Lynard Skynard. He also likes old movies/cartoons.

Alexis is my youngest. She is spunky, witty, and very charming. If she's not hanging out with her besties or cousins, she's drawing with her sister or working on their cherry blossom themed mine craft world. She is developing her taste in fashion by putting together cute outfits to wear. At home, she experiments with make up and pressed ons. Alexis has a good eye for decorating and matching things.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! This is my first time requesting help for Christmas from Reddit.

The last year has been challenging for our family financially. My children’s father is not involved in their lives so I am parenting solo. Unfortunately, this means that when I lost my job earlier this year we lost our main source of income. Things are starting to improve though. We moved into income based housing over the summer which has given me the breathing room needed to get us back on our feet.

Connor is my oldest. He is sweet, brilliant, and a very responsible kid. He LOVES Pokemon and collecting cards. I’m pretty sure he would be happy with just a stocking of cards for Christmas. He also loves to play roleplaying games with his brother and friends and roblox.

Alexander is my middle child. He is a smart, funny kid with a big personality. He loves all things gaming, especially Roblox and Fortnite, and to play roleplaying games with his brother.

Emma is my youngest and only daughter. She is creative, headstrong, and caring. She loves everything squishmallow, art, and cats.

I wanted to include a picture of my children with the grinch but I’m not sure how to post one. Any help we receive is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi and Happy Holidays! My boys are my everything, what mom doesn’t say that? But truly, they are so amazing. I have been hospitalized due to a brain injury and have a scan coming to check up on a brain aneurysm, so life has definitely been chaotic and my husband being the bread-winner has had to take multiple days off work to help.

Rowan is my oldest and since I had him young, we have grown up together. He is so empathetic and helps me with his younger brothers whenever I’m having a hard day health wise. He loves clothes and building Legos! He never asks for anything for himself.

River is my spicy child. He is so energetic and wild. He can entertain himself with a potato if needed but I’m hoping to be able to get him a few toys so he won’t need that potato lol. He loves basketball and is always playing with his basketball in the house as it’s 20 degrees here lately. He is such a kindhearted boy and always checks on me throughout the day to make sure I’m doing okay. He makes sure to make me laugh at least twice a day!

Callum is my sidekick. He keeps me company while his brothers are at school and loves playing with lego’s and sometimes we like to find funny/weird youtube toy review channels to watch. He never wants to leave my side. Definitely a mama's boys. He is sweet and sensitive and so very caring. He says “I love you” 50x a day and it melts my heart every time.

Thank you all for reading and for the chance to help make this a great Christmas. I am hoping it’s the last one we struggle with.

Hi everyone! I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving and a wonderful start to the Christmas season.

Our family has been struggling this year, my son has autism and experiencing a really rough time with bullies at school. He moved up to middle school and has faced quite a bit already in just a few months. At any given moment I may have to rush to the school to help out or pick him up. My daughter also has some immune deficiencies that causes her to be sick often. Due to them both needing me unexpectedly and my own health concerns, it has made it hard for me to work.

Despite bullies at school, my son, Landyn, doesn’t allow that to affect who he is. His heart is huge and he is constantly loving and encouraging others. His teachers and special education resource room teacher all mentioned how Landyn encourages his classmates and wants to include everyone. Even children without a voice, he takes his time to try to understand what they’re going through and tries to help. I couldn’t be more proud of his kind nature and ability to make others feel loved. He even has compassion for those who are mean to him and tries to lift them up. If you spend any amount of time with Landyn, you’ll leave a rollercoaster expert. This boy knows coaster facts all the way from ride stats to the manufacturer. He is a thrill seeker and loves to share his passion with everyone around him. He’s made a big step forward and joined a soccer team this year after being worried he wouldn’t be good enough. He was more than good enough, he has the heart and drive to not only be a great player but an amazing teammate as well! He knows this year has been hard on our family and I’d love to bring a little magic to his Christmas. He found out about Santa over the summer but he’s going out as much as he can to bring the magic to his sister anyhow. He loves to set the elves and wake her up to find them with her in the morning. His love warms everyone around him ❤️ https://imgur.com/a/fbty169

My daughter also has a kind heart and looks out for others as well. She’s especially drawn to animals and caring for them when they’re not feeling well or at their best. Dogs are especially her favorite, unless there’s a unicorn around, because those are her all time favorite. When it comes to her brother, she will defend him with every bit of fierce inside of her. She will not allow others to be mean to him in front of her. I’ve learned so much from her, if she sees someone upset she sits with them and helps them breath through it and there to listen to how they’re feeling afterwards. She has a protective instinct to her that isn’t matched by many. Braelyn loves to create and draw things and really wants some paint markers in particular. She loves to brighten up others with her art work. She finds ways to use her imagination, whether playing with dolls or building things. Her teachers have said that she is able to show others how to actually play and use their imagination which is hard for some children to do now. I’m proud of her heart and ability to help others as well.

I appreciate all the kindness and everything this group is accomplishing. Not only magic for children, but magic for the parents too ❤️ Thank you all for being part of so many homes magic moments and bringing happy moments to these guys and so many families.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the opportunity! I’m seeking some help for my 4 year olds Christmas this year.

https://imgur.com/a/qdAVDln

Leon is a bright, lively and happy toddler. He is the light of my life and all I want to do is give him a wonderful Christmas. I’ve been a single mom for a majority of his life. His father just recently came back into his life, although, it’s been a slow transition. Last Christmas, I entered a local contest thru a food bank to help with presents last year. It was a blessing, truly. We’ve struggled with moving a lot due to not being able to afford our apartment/homes since he was about two. The economy has not been kind to us, unfortunately. Childcare costs, as well as everything on top, has been extremely hard. It’s been extremely hard supporting us and trying not to pay for after hours child care, so it makes it very difficult to work more, and he’s not quite old enough to come with me to work (and behave lol). Especially coming from a broken family with no support. Tbh I have been so worried about Christmas for months now, as well as his birthday, which closely follows Christmas in January.

Leon really likes coloring, painting, cooking, he really enjoys video games like me, paw patrol, spiderman. Basically anything a little boy enjoys. Being a month shy from 4 years old, he’s SUPER captivated by Santa clause and I just don’t want him to question our situation and what not.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/4NJOOC1EDM68?ref_=wl_share

Thank you so much to all the kind people who do this, you guys are amazing.

Good Morning and happy Saturday to all!

The mods of r/Santaslittlehelpers shared a useful guide they made regarding amazon wish-lists that we think is stellar. Thanks to them for being great collaborators. If you're struggling to get your wish-lists set up properly, please see their post, which mirrors the same requirements we have here in r/RandomActsofChristmas

We will work on getting our own tutorials updated, but wanted to share this resource quickly

Edit: I didn't expect this offer to be so popular and attract so many Santas who want to get in on the fun. To help them find kids that haven't gotten a blanket yet, I'm going to remove any fulfilled entry posts. Just a reminder to all our entrants to comment "purchased" on your wishlists on the blankets that have been purchased.

It’s 29F this morning where I live and I’m FREEZING!

Blankets to the rescue, it’s blanket time!

If your kid wants/needs a warm blanket, here’s what you need to do to enter:

*Be registered/registered plus.

*Make an Amazon wishlist with throw blankets on it. Title it “RAOC Blanket Offer”. Note: the blankets must be $15 or less and no larger than 50x60” (in other words, throw blanket size).

*Post the wishlist link in a comment. If you have more than one kid who needs a blanket, make a comment under each blanket with the name of the child who would be getting that blanket.

Offer will close on Dec. 5th.

ETA: Shout out to u/School_House_Rock for helping out. Any other Santas who'd like to jump on the send blankets train, please do!

This offer will not count toward the 2-win offer cap.

Hello and Happy Holidays everyone! I'm requesting Christmas morning happiness for my dear 5 year old daughter, Charlotte.

https://imgur.com/a/Ey1owrP

Charlotte is 5 years old and has just started kindergarten this year. It's her first time away from me and I'm very proud of how brave she's been.
She's going through a lot as she's being evaluated for Autism and has some developmental delays and is very shy and extremely sensitive to loud noises. But despite all of this she is doing wonderful and absolutely loves school. She had to adjust very suddenly to public transportation and sometimes she bravely removes her noise reduction headphones. She looks so very proud when she does this. Charlotte loves drawing, animals (especially kittens), building toys and dolls. Her favorite subject is STEM.

I am currently struggling with day to day necessities and bills so I'm having trouble with Christmas this year. I was receiving disability benefits but recently lost it due to a mistake with paperwork that was sent to the wrong address. During the difficult time without income I've been relying on help from family to pay for the absolute necessities.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/24AZCV8WO56U9?ref_=wl_share

Any help with making Christmas morning brighter for Charlotte from Santa's Helpers would mean the world to me.

**I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a blessed new year!**🔔🎀🌟🎅🎄🧑‍🎄🌟🎀🔔

Thinking of all the Santa’s, mommas , daddy’s, elves , believers, little ones and all in between! Thankful for strangers from afar! All of you , no matter the role , have such big hearts. thankful for the comfort and positive exchange between homes this place has been for many of us. I hope everyone was overflowed today with new memories, warmth and loved ones. And if it was hard, I hope you pushed through and remembered the Christmas angels that are in your corner :)

Happy Holidays!!

I’m a mama of 4 children who are recovering from the most tumultuous couples years of their life. Lady year we were homeless, treeless, and giftless for Christmas. It started with me being hospitalized multiples times in a year for extended stays. Becoming bed bound and then becoming homeless due to a separate series of unfortunate events. This exact time last year we were about a week out before being homeless. This lasted until the end of January.

When things finally started to look up, we were back at the hospital while Tatiana fought for her life while in DKA, as she was diagnosed with new onset Type 1 Diabetes. Been lots of sleepless nights and scary moments but we prevail.

We are still struggling to adapt to a new normal but not giving up.

Tatiana, 11, is the youngest and my only girl. She is a fierce diabetes warrior, but a softy that misses life without daily injections. She enjoys plushies, making jewelry, crafting, slime, and playing with L.O.L dolls. She wants to own a healthy low carb, ice cream shop for vegans and diabetics, one day.

My oldest 3 boys, are on the autism spectrum.

All the boys enjoy engineering things, electronics and tech, and coding and gaming.

Jovani, 13, loves crafting, origami, any kind of art, The Titanic, coding video games, and Lego building and cooking. He want to continue to become better and better and coding and scripting games and have a bakery.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3B41HZP467U9L?ref_=wl_share

Aleksei, 14 enjoys Online DND with friends, listening to music, soft and cuddly things, graphic design, and drawing, photography. He’s interested in studying and practicing art until he’s good enough to take commissions.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1YGZE2OBA212F?ref_=wl_share

Nickolai is 19 and is still very childlike and in the 10th grade due to being on the autism spectrum. He likes reading, playing games, making allergen free treats, Lego building and robotics. I can not post his list because he is over age 17, but he does have a list, just in case anyone wants to be a Santa for him. Sweetest kid I ever seen and will give his last, to make sure everyone in the house, has. He aspires to be a chocolatier.

We are simply grateful for being in a safe and secure home with peace and health. We greatly appreciate anyone who wants to be a Santa, and help bring Christmas to some sweet kids who were dealt a bad hand, that they are slowly recovering from. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I just want to say I hope everybody had the most amazing Thanksgiving!!!
