DU Family. I need a Christmas Miracle I think. I'm sorry.

I was told that, if you ask, you shall receive.
But I also know that, no one is ever obligated to help you. So I understand if no one can extend any kind of helping hand.
But if you'll hear me out and you think you can help, please read onward.

My wife's side of the family has been on very hard times for quite a while now. They are a family of 5 that live in an old house on the side of the highway. The old house has no insulation in the walls, the only means with which they can heat the home is with space heaters. This obviously leads to high electrical bills.
The only members of the family capable of working, (2 of the 5, the others suffer from disabilities beyond their control) have either A) lost their job due to downsizing, even though she is a college educated Medical Scientist (that's my mother in law btw) and B) isn't getting any work at the moment. (that's my brother in law, who works in contractual contruction). My mother in law's unemployment benefits ran out months ago, and we fear she keeps getting rejected for job interviews because of ageism.
A few weeks ago, she fell and tore her shoulder, now she needs surgery. She's currently trying to apply for disability as it's the only way she'll be able to afford surgery and that could take years.
Before winter, this is the worst time for them to come up short on money. My father in law is stricken with many physical ailments, from MS to Glaucoma and much more, needs the heat on in order to basically, survive.
They are an honest and good family, despite their own financial troubles, they will still give anyone the shirts off their backs if anyone else needed it. They are the most amazing people I've ever met, I've never known anything but kindness and selflessness from them.
They're currently 6 months behind on their rent, their electrical bill has reached an amount that they cannot currently pay and so we fear the electricity could be shut off soon. There is only one car for them to use, and it's in need of a new water pump, tires and the starter has been acting up for a month.
The odds are stacked against them, and they did nothing to deserve it, they did nothing to bring it upon themselves.
So if you can, please help. Thank you. And I'm sorry again, I don't mean to inconvenience anyone.

3. I have not, my wife is currently looking at GoFundMe
I've never done this before so I don't know what is best for others.
I do have a Paypal, but whatever is best for others, I will do. I'll look into that one.
Surprised the DUmp does not have a link to it and demanding a payback to Mr Moskwa,who btw just saw 20 grand hit his bank account thanks to the Shillary campaign.
Already at 555 dollars out of 5,000 begged for.
Stewie,torchy and Pam are jealous.

I have a solution to the primitive's problem.
In the spirit of socialism, where you have two cows and the government takes one and gives it to your neighbor, not black randys1 can assuage himself of some white guilt by hocking one of his Rolex watches, and help a brother out.
This family clearly has no Rolexes, and not black randys1 has at least two.

Even his wife, the one with the broke relatives, has Feel the Bern bs all over her FB page. They never learn,

Well, they are feeling the bern already, are they not?
Summer of Recovery VIII, coming to an economy near you in Summer 2016!

The electric company will not shut off the electricity during winter time especially with elderly folks in the house. I suspect he wants to make it a Merry Christmas albeit on other peoples money.

Hmmm, what is that I smell? When I read that plea for help I get a distinctive smell in the air. I got it. It's the same smell I get when the wind is blowing from the direction of the local water treatment plant.

David Bullock.
And they all live near Raleigh, NC, home of Dem party freebies.
Something ain't right.

Raleigh is going out of their way to be the Boston of the south, with all the regulations, restrictions, taxes, and fees that go along with living in a liberal urban shithole.

Sounds like this group of sick, impoverished elderly people have exactly one hope. Not this one:

But this one:

With Skimmer begging, he will dry up all the excess cash so that the ultra lazy DUmmies won't have any left over to beg.

I went back to check--it's a pretty old appeal now--to see how the girls had done.
"Bertha Venation's gofundme page for her 'wife'" (Tess Anderson, 10-12-15)
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=104775.0
It's still at $2,350; the goal had been $8,000.
I imagine the girls will be sharing half a walnut and a sprig of parsley for Christmas dinner.
It's sad, but we all make our own destinies.

And then I went back to check this more-recent, but old one:
"primitive has bad luck, seeks donations" (franksolich, 11-11-15)
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=105152.0
It eventually attained $1,165, the goal being $3,500.
-
And, finally, this one:
"DU'er Prophet 451 has passed away" (dutch508, 11-17-2015)
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=105242.0
This is the one with the big fat guy who died.
£399's been raised, £1,000 was the goal.

Oh my.

I don't know how the chintzy selfish libs are handling a virtual inundation from beggars of their own ilk and Skimmer leading the charge.
