Whatever happen to people helping out the unfortunate people or other military families helping out other military families that don't have a lot of money. Really Wht does everything have to be about money these days. My husband is an E-2 in the army we don't have a lot of stuff because he was a truck driver before he got in so our home was the truck. I'm asking for help and no one I mean no one is willing. I have no idea what to do. If there are any kind hearted people out there could you please help this family. Thank you! 

Sondra what are you looking for? 

High chair, tv stand, dressers, exersaucer or walker, picture frames, crib, and some pots and pans 

you were asking for stuff for a daycare, a money making venture was the impression I was under from your other post.

I've been looking for someone to pass my daughter's clothes and toys and such to b/c I'd rather help someone than make a few bucks but I'm not going to GIVE them to someone who doesn't NEED them. For themselves. It's hard finding those people. I'd rather help someone who doesn't have the means to get it themselves. Not for them to re-sell or use (as in a daycare) my donation for their personal profit. If that were the case then they can afford to pay me for it. Maybe others think the same way. 

I was looking for stuff as for a daycare/ watching children but that's not going to work out cause here in Oklahoma you can't watch children with out being certified so I can't do that but I do know the things I have just asked for and for my personal being. We do not have the money to get these things brand new. I was trying to watch kids for extra money but as I can't do that what am I to do sorry that I had even asked for anyone to help thanks for your thoughts. 

Why don't you try the Soldier's Closet. It's on Craig Rd. on post and opens Wed-Thu. You should have heard about it by now, they tell everyone about it during the in-processing briefings. Sometimes they even give you vouchers you can use at Goodwill. They also have a Pantry where you can get food if you really need it. And of course, there is also WIC, with your husband being PV2 you are likely to receive it. For pots, pans and other small stuff for the house there is the Lending Closet at ACS, bldg 4700.

Ok, now that I've said all that, why does it sound as though you are trying to make people feel guilty for not helping you? As insensitive as it might sound, your situation is no one's fault really.

Your husband, being only an PV2, has a steady job and that puts your household in a better situation than a lot of people around here whom are really struggling just to put food on the table and you don't hear them all complaining.

I really don't know your situation, not am I going to ask about it but, there are lots of places around here where you can get help from, just gotta look around. 

The other ladies have posted some very useful information on here. I hope it is of use, but after reading this I got a bad taste in my mouth. The majority of people on here that I have dealt with are very kind and so far, pretty honest. I would advise that if you want a better response, perhaps you should choose your wording more carefully in the future and not write your post as if we are not good natured people for not dumping your wishlist on your porch. I would be deeply ashamed and embarrassed if I blatently stuck my hand out as you have, while handing out mass insult in return. I am a disabled veteran and my husband is currently active duty, and it irks me to no end when military familes make demands with a sense of entitlement.

DO I hope your family gets help? Yes, I do not wish anyone into an unfortunate situation. Do I think you should take a deeper look inside yourself and what you have as well as what other's in this very town have? Absolutely! If you look at the cost of items new and the price of the items listed, there are some pretty sweet deals going on. You can't be upset though when people don't want to just throw their hard earned cash away. 

Sondra, i have a crib...if you still need one please contact me. I have a crib, mattress. I also have a walker, its down in texas but if you'll get in touch with me and let me know all what you are needing i can help you out! believe me i am in somewhat the same boat you are, thats why i was trying to sell my son's things, but am willing to help out.
