Everything when great for both families! I met Kate (Mom) at Walmart and we purchased all Matt and Maddy's gifts. We including all gift wrapping supplies and Christmas tree (40% off). Jennifer (Charity worker) and her husband Dave also joined us for the Christmas shopping and made a surprise donation on the spot of $314.00 for one of the full shopping carts we had! I have pictures and I am trying to figure out how to post to the FUNDLY donation site. If i am unable I will post to Danielle's Facebook.
On Monday before Christmas we met with Andrew to drop of his and Mom's Christmas gifts! It was a pleasure to meet Andrew, Mom and Grandma! It also was a reality check and my heart breaks that we cannot help every family in this day and age. God Bless and Thank you once again. (Mick)
Merry Christmas!
Most of you know Danielle and I. We are very fortunate and count our blessings. There was a time things were not so good as we struggled both finacially and emotionally. We worked very hard to get to a better place and thank all our friends, family and GOD for that. As most of you know for the last 10 years Danielle has worked as a ER Nurse for Upstate Hospitals and I myself for a global service entity. We have lived in the Upstate, NY area our entire lives and for the most part loved it! (not to fond of the winters! Brrrrr). The area and community have been good to us and we feel it is time to give back.
Danielle and I, along with our children Jacob 17yrs and Alexa 22yrs have spoken to our families and have asked them to forgo any presents to us this Christmas and to please donate to this cause, The 'Spillane Christmas Fund'. We also will be donating the money we normally spend on Christmas gifts to friends and family to this fund.
We are asking you to help us raise the goal amount listed to provide a fantastic Christmas for families in need this 2013 year, to provide a day of happiness to these struggling families and their precious children. Danielle and I have been in such a position and we were unable to provide a Christmas for our children. It was heart-breaking and depressing. We were blessed that friends and family came together and provided gifts for the children and a delightful Christmas dinner!
HUMILITY
The 'Spillane Christmas Fund' donations will provide the gift of Christmas for local families this 2013 year! Danielle and I will be working with local churches and food banks to locate struggling families that need help. Danielle and I will hand delivering the funds and gifts to the recipients and provide full updates (check out the BLOG and PICTURE area). We are hoping to distribute the funds and gifts by December 22, 2013.
Please let your family and friends aware of this fund and together we can reach this goal.
Thank you and God Bless......

We have found another wonderful family. Mom and Dad along with there children Matt 12yrs and Maddy 10yrs moved from Detroit 5 years ago after Dad lost his job during the economic crash of 2008-9. Mom and Dad moved back to Syracuse to be close to Dad's family and to basically start over. Dad passed away unexpectedly in late 2012. Mom is close with her husbands family but they also struggle to some extent and Mom has no family of her own to turn to and is in need of our help. Mom is currently going to school to become a nurse. Bills and loans have piled up. Mom's children are adorable and each one of you would fall in love the moment you laid eyes on them! I am waiting for the "Christmas List" and will post once received. Thank you Jennifer of *********** charities for allowing us to help.

We have found our first family. Mom and child. Mom will and is dealing with a life-long injury that will hinder many normal activities we all take for granted. Her wonderful son ***** is a fourth grader in the Syracuse City School District and looks forward to school everyday! Mom wishes for nothing.....all Mom wants is for her son and his future. We have asked for a "Santa's Christmas List" from little ***** and also something he would think his Mom would like from Santa this Christmas! We are providing groceries and Christmas dinner also to this wonderful family! I look forward to updating you all on our progress!

We are getting down to crunch time. We have made great progress and are currently locating famlies, we are still in need of more donations. We are in talks with Wegmans groceries to discuss dinner bundles for the families at a discounted price. I will continue to keep all updated as we go forward.
