I need a creative way to send someone who needs money but don't want to offend them.Its known they need money

If they are too proud to receive money as if it is some kind of an insult, then you can ask favor from them (so they will feel like they worked for it) and pay them in return. For example, ask them to take care of your house during weekends if you are not at home, or something. You know the person better, so you'll know what to ask of them more than i do. the trick is let them work for it if that will make them feel better.

I don't think the dad was angry; more embarrassed really because it wasn't him that provided the food. The dad may have felt like a failure in front of his own family. But I think in the long run, he was grateful as he sat down and ate his next good meal. LOL But if there is a next time - and even if it's not the same person or family -- there are other ways of giving without any unneccesary conflicts. Instead of buying the food, put some money in a greeting card, seal the card in an envelope and send it to the person. Send it to where the person would have to sign for it (not for it to just be left in a mailbox). If the person has one of those doors where you could slip it under.......they don't even have to know who it's from. I believe that God sees/hears all/ knows all............and it's a blessing right there to have people like you in this world. If only there were more out there like you. I hope this is not offending to you.....but.........GOD BLESS YOU.

I am currently facing a similar situation. The anonymous gift card is definitely the way to go. Drop it at their residence, or mail it. Just be sure to leave no trace of where it came from. People in need do feel bad that they are there, and do not want to feel "dependant" on anyone else. I have been working for 8 months to get a friend of mine to let me help her. I have finally convinced her she does not have to try to pay me to take her son to school. It may sound ridiculous, but that is a big step. Unless you have been there, and not willingly because you were lazy, then you really can't understand all of the emotions attached to it. Hope all goes well with your Christmas blessing. And may you find yourself richly blessed in return.

Your question has really touched me, what a generous thing to want to do for someone else. I would suggest leaving money in their mail box or even leaving a package on their doorstep, you can put a few giftcards from different stores or simply some money with a red bow on it and an anonymous note letting them know that someone out there cares enough to help and that they hope that the money is well received. People's pride is what gets hurt when they receive a handout, there is nothing wrong with being in need and accepting help graciously is as important as giving it tactfully.

If you can't bring yourself to give in person maybe try something along the lines of my suggestions. I hope this has helped. God bless you! :)

I have been in a similar situation myself. However, the fact that your family has knowledge about her circumstances shows that the lady trusted your Mom enough to share her problems.. Try to have your Mom tell her that since she has experienced some ups and downs in her own life, that she hopes her friend will let her pass to her the kindness that someone showed her once. Your Mom can also tell her that she knows that if the shoe were on the other foot, she has no doubt that her friend would help her out! Many people appreciate a Wal-mart gift card that can be used for food, essentials, and gas. Any cash they get can then cover bills. This worked for us. In my own case, I also thanked her for letting me do this as it put my mind at ease about her situation. Thank you for being a caring person! You are a rare find in this day and age!

Its going to be hard to do cash or a check if you want to do it without them knowing who is giving it to them. An easier way to do it would be Visa check card or gift certificates.

I would do it 1 of 2 ways...

1st would be to put all the giftcards together and send them with a card that says "Thanks for all the kind things you have done. It hasn't gone unnoticed. Happy Holidays! Your friend, Karma" and send it. If you think they would some how figure it out or refuse to use them. Then I would go with the second choice.

2nd - Its fairly easy with computer's these days to make up fake rewards and things like that. So make up a Fake Contest. Print up a "Congratulations you are our 1,2 or 3 place winner (depending on what you are giving them) in the Home for the Hollidays contest!" Either you or someone you know has entered you in the drawing and we are happy to say you won! Please enjoy these gift certificate/visa cards with our compliments. Write Happy Holidays and sign the letter with someone else's name Donald T. Parks or something offical sounding and send it out that way. Just dont make up a fake address or phone number.. just make it simple and to the point.. No one I know is upset at winning a contest.

Good Luck.. and its nice to know that good people are still out there.. :)

you're under no circumstances to deliver a present again from someone who's being beneficiant to applaud you on your accomplishment no count number how close you're to them. it should be quite rude that you'll be able to try this on your husband's brother. He received't communicate in many circumstances yet he graciously regarded your success. considering that at the same time as is that a reason to deliver again a present? And it really is a present. He received't communicate in many circumstances to understand what can be a extra valuable present, yet notwithstanding what ought to were a extra valuable present for you? You for sure have regulations for what you need to have received. basically because he did not keep on with them is not any reason to be rude and go back the examine. Say thanks as graciously as he despatched you the present and be delighted that he even cared to harass.

Everyone get together and pitch in as much as they can...Get an envelope, thin one---- put cash inside. Late at night go to house and slip under door, or slip through side of door(thin envelope) if neither of these can be done and there is a screen or storm door lodge the envelope in the side that opens and then close screen or storm door. When they leave in the morning there will be the envelope with all the money but no one to give it back to.....what do you think.......

Mail it to them using either a money order or just put direct cash in a X-Mas card and insure it at your local post office. If you use a money order, only fill out the receiver's half. By insuring it, you will know when and who accepted the money in the home. Also, do not allow the envelope to be addressed in a handwriting that would be easily identifiable to any in their home that would take offense to it being sent.

Merry X-Mas!!! Bless You!!!

Mail them a Christmas card with the money inside. Don't write your address on the envelope. Good Luck
