Sponsor A Child At Birthday Time , Holidays or All Year Long
Become a sponsor of this family email dated 4/03/05:
Dear Jane,
I am writing to you in the hopes that you can help me. I am single mother of 2 with one on the way. I just recently got my own apartment and cannot make the rent most months. In the past few months, my world as I knew it, fell apart. I am a college student, and am now working 2 jobs to make ends meet, but it is a very tight squeeze with 2 fast growing girls. Back in November, my then fiancé threw my oldest and I out in the street, we had no where to go as I have no surviving family, my parents both died from cancer and I had no choice, but to seek refuge in a homeless shelter. We moved in with the clothes on our backs and little else.
I did manage to get a small apartment a few weeks ago, but now I am faced with the fact that warmer temps are arriving and the fact that I have no clothes for my precious angels. I am wondering if you could find me a sponsor to help me with some things until I get back on my feet. I might be able to help out with some of the shipping costs, but only if they are nominal. I am terrified of losing my girls because I cannot afford to get them the things they need, like clothes for the warmer weather. I am not asking for much, just a few nicer outfits to make them comfortable as the warmer temps begin to arrive. I am willing to do anything that you may ask of me. I feel like I am letting my children down, but I refuse to give up and continue plugging away at my college schoolwork (computer science major, political science minor degree)in order to obtain my degree and also to keep working so that I can keep my apartment.
Please find it in your heart to help me out for the time being. I will give back as soon as I am able, as I believe that you are to return the favor of help as often as needed, as help is not something to be kept to ourselves. Thank you and god bless you. You are truly an angel. ---
Love mom to a 7 and 2 yr old girls with a mystery on the way.
Please contact Swaphandmedowns if you would like to sponsor this family above with your used child clothing.
Thank you

We have 16 month old triplets, two boys and a girl, who would like anything...though the boys, Bob and Joe, really like cars and trucks, and Anna I think would like a baby doll or one of those little umbrella strollers.
My son Mike is five and loves video games (used Playstation and Game Cube) and also baseball -wiffle balls would be great! My daughter Dani is 13 and really needs winter clothes...anything size 14-16 or L...and would really like a radio/stereo..something. Her's is broken. She also wants a guitar.
Thanks for any help.
End of Request
2nd Request Family Two:
Hello, we are needing holiday things this year, and can't afford them. Anyone know where to go for help? We live in Alaska, Anchorage area. Please help! We have 5 young children and one on the way. My 6 year old daughter just LOVES American girl books, dolls and extras. We can't afford to purchase them though. I'm looking for a new or used AG doll for her for holiday and thought I'd post this here to see if anyone has
one for her. We would be so thankful for helping us with our holiday wish for our daughter
Requst 3 Family Three:
Our family celebrates haunukah which is like 8 days of chritmas but when you have 2 boys and one more boy due to be born any time now 8 days of presents is very expensive! If anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them. babys love just about anything shiny so the newborn will be easy, my other two boys love cars and my six year old is obsessed with spiderman. if anyone has spider man toys i would be forever greatful and my other boy loves the teletubbies of all things so anything to do with the teletubbies would be awsome if someone has some teletubbie things that thier kids dont like anymore clothes toys whatever.
Request 4 Family Four:
Hi! I have 3 boys ages 7, 4, & 14 months. I have a big list of ideas I'd love to give my boys for holiday, but we simply can't afford much on one income this year. I don't expect to get all these.
For my youngest I am looking for some kind stacking/nesting blocks and peek-a-blocks specifically the wagon, the dump truck, and the touch, the sight & the sound blocks sets.
My middle child would like another book for his My First LeapPad grandma got him last year. He would really love a doctors playset and non-girly kid's play kitchen stuff (dishes, pans, playfood, etc.)
My oldest would enjoy another book for his reg. LeapPad too. He really wants some Yu-Gi-Oh cards and another game cube game. I'm also looking for puzzles, any kind of kids board games (we don't have any except memory), and kids DVD's- especially Disney ones (our vcr broke, so they can't watch their movies anymore)
I am sure a used toy will be loved forever here:) Children can dream and dreams come true at Swaphandmedowns.com!! Thank you for helping me. Your help keeps the wind under the wings of Swaphandmedowns.com:)
Kind Regards,
President

Please Help a child Today with free used clothing or send them a toy or book. Our friends here allow holidays to come true everyday.
Making it through the Holiday's can be hard. With hardship of wondering where I am going to come up with extra funds for the holidays and trying to balance the bills - What can I buy my child for the holidays? Jane Sadowy has been there and knows other parents are saying it too.
Parents facing job lay offs, illness, loss of homes or debts are in need of some kind of help to help them get back on track.
Site designer and owner of www.swaphandmedowns.com Jane Sadowy has made available "Sponsor A Child" for a year by allowing those that can afford to help a parent with:
The Elite or Yearly Global Swap Membership Fee (reviews and setup costs) Our program is a steady system that helps parents everyday with fashions, encouragments and friendships.
The Shipping Cost of receiving free used clothing. Help us by having a fund raiser to sponsor shipping fees for members that can not afford them. Shipping fees are very reasonable for donated fashions.
Shipping a toy for special holiday's. Shipping a special book once a month to a child.
Sponsor's Cost: Member certificate plus shipping fees for them to accept the free clothes. Swaphandmedowns has access to free used clothing and will help the sponsor with the transactions.
The Fashion Swap Membership Fee (reviews and setup) See side bar to purchase a gift certified for the needy family or click here to purchase a sponsor gift certificate: Click Here
Sponsor A Child With A Toy
I have available "Sponsor A Child With Teddy Love" with shipping a holiday toy or children's book.
Sponsor's Cost: The price of toy plus shipping cost. Easy to do since you purchase the toy or book and ship it directly to the child's home. Contact Jane below for more information or join our elite membership and start helping today. Donate Clothing, toys and join our elite membership click here
I have a slew of children in need of clothing, shoes, socks, children books or a toy. They have lots of love from their parents and good things to eat but a little extra for the kids could help enlighten some many hearts.
Thank You

My name is Jessica I’m 26 yrs old, single mom to 3 girls ages 2, 6, and 7. I’m having a hard time right now, and I’m trying to get help for them for Christmas. If you know someone that could help please do so. My kids wear sizes 3t, 4-5t, 5-6t and in shoes sizes 9-9 1\2, 11-1\2, and a 12. My kids need toys also. I’m not trying to get something for nothing its just that I want my kids to have a nice Christmas that’s all.
Hello Jane. I am requesting help with a toy for my child this year. I wrote to you some time back and told you that my husband had found a job and things were starting to look up for us. However the money situation is still very very tight. Your website has come a long way in these last few months, I love to visit it to see what is new. This is a wonderful idea you have about the clothes. If someone chooses to help us my little girl is 6 years old her name is Chylin.
