Anonymous Gifts

My family is fortunate enough to have been on the receiving end of a monetary gift.  

A few years ago, times were especially tough.  I was sick, money was low and everything seemed to break in the house at once.  There were a few instances in which I had to tell someone I would write a check on payday, from scouts to school. 

Just before Easter, I received a letter in the mail with no return address.  Enclosed was a $50.00 gift card to a local grocery store.  Attached was a note stating, “As a Lenten offering, I would like to extend this give to you and your family.”  I sat at the mailbox with grateful tears running down my face.  On that very day, I had been fretting about how I would feed the kids dinner that night.  I was overwhelmed. 

This is one example of a way you can help a person in need while doing it anonymously.  Gift cards do not have to be as much as $50, or can be over that amount if you have the means. 

Money can also be placed in an envelope with one of our Giving Sheets and set on a doorstep or placed on a car windshield.  Use your imagination and have fun!
