Most of us are lucky enough to have all the money we need for our basic needs. I’m not talking about us being rich, I’m talking about us being able to buy food for ourselves and the ones we love; us being able to turn the heat on in the Winter lest we freeze.
Sadly, some people can’t.
My good friend Matthew from Papamoka Straight Talk published a post yesterday about one of those people, Chell. Chell is a mother, and blogger, who would like to prevent her children from freezing to death in the Winter. Well, that’s putting it a bit blunt: she would like her children to live in a warm, comfortable home. She lives in the north of the US where it’s incredibly cold.
Matthew writes:
This is a plea to offer assistance and help to just one family this winter. Like many of you I don’t have a ton of excess cash lying around but this family needs our help. I donated ten bucks. Can you spare five or even two bucks. Chell is good people, her heart and soul is gold when it comes to her writing works that she puts out there for all to read. No she is not of the conventional perspective but I never judge a good book by the cover. That is what her blog is all about.
Please donate what you can to help this family. Please visit Chell’s Roost and donate what you can. She has swallowed her pride asking for help and I can not see it in my heart not to try and help her and her family to get heat into their home.
If you visit Chell’s website you’ll see that you can donate money to her via Amazon (using a credit card). Please, if you can spare some money in this already expensive month, consider helping Chell out.
Give that family a merry, and warm, Christmas.
I’ve asked Chell whether she can also put a PayPal button up. Although my home is warm I’m not rich myself, as you all know by now, but I plan to give what I can. Having said that, I don’t have a credit card, so I hope she’ll add the PayPal button soon.

Thank you for helping Chell out my friend.
No pro.
Michael, for a while, now, we’ve been constantly worried and wondering if we were actually going to get this stove installed. Your support has helped me to know that yes, we’ll get real, livable heat in the house, so yes, my family will be alright. You can’t imagine the weight this has taken off of my shoulders. Thank you.
