In that regard, I have decided to open up 2011, here at TheOldFolksKnowBest.com, with a loud bang and give two lucky SUBSCRIBERS $100.00 to help start their year off a little better.

ReplyDeleteMy grandma is in her late 80s and loves reading but doesn't get to the library often or bookstores. She is taking computer classes now and saw an eReader the other day she said she would like if she could ever afford one. I tried saving for one for Christmas but was a little short so if I won, I would put the $100 with what I have and get the eReader for her. Reading brings her joy and she passed that joy to me so giving her a tool where she can download books to read would be perfect!

The senior citizen in my life who needs the most help is my MIL (who is 70). Her sister, age 74, has severe emphysema and will probably not live much longer. My husband and I want to get enough money together for my MIL to visit her sister. (My MIL lives in Georgia and her sister lives in Michigan.)

I would split the $100 between myself and my daughter/granddaughter. I would use the $50 for me to get me a new pair of shoes that are desperately needed. My daughter/granddaughter would probably use the $50 on heavier winter clothing for my granddaughter. I would have gladly given the $100 to my mother to help her out financially but she passed away this summer at the age of 83.

We have a very special person that used to watch my kids when they were small. She doesn't have much but loves fresh flowers and I would get her several bouquets to brighten her day~
ReplyDeletekathypersons@yahoo.com
I know exactly what I would do with the $100. On Christmas day, my husband and I took Christmas dinner to an extended family of 8..Grandma, Grandpa, Daughter,son-in-law and 4 children. (various people in our little church made food dishes for us to take and the church had also collected canned goods for their pantry). When we got there, we found out that the family had so many needs including help with rent and utilities, fixing a bicycle-their only means of transportation-, infant formula, helping the father get a job...and encouragement for the grandparents...The $100 would go to help towards these things along with some other church members giving what they can.
