Application for Project Christmas 2020

Long-Form Application for Christmas 2020

(This long form applications will CLOSE on Dec 12, 2020 at 11:59 EST)

About this application process:

Applications for family assistance will be considered based on multiple factors- We have limits due to the nature of the program. Everything we do is based on the donations we're able to collect. We do our best to help as many families as possible, while not overlapping too many kids who are close in age and the same gender, that way we can make the most of all donations. In 2020- our limitations have been made even greater by the restrictions in place due to Covid-19.

(For example- if we are already helping families with little boys ages 2, 4, 6, 7 and 7- we are going to look for families with young girls to help. Its important to spread the ages and genders of the kids, because we only collect so many donations that would be appropriate for, say, 8 year old girls. If we accepted six families with girls close in age, we wouldn't be able to give each family enough items to feel that we sufficiently helped that child.)

Unfortunately - unlike in years past - if we are unable to offer your family sponsorship, we will be unable to offer your family the open-house opportunity that we typically hold. Because of the risks to our volunteers (many of whom are elderly, disabled or otherwise high risk) - we can not expose our staff to the large crowds that end up present during our Open House events. We are going to be able to assist a limited number of families this year, and while we will extend an offer for standby families to place specific items on a wish-list (in case sponsors would like to donate) - we can not make any promises that these items will actually be donated.

Please answer as completely and honestly as possible! None of the answers to these questions are guaranteed REJECTIONS- For example, if your family is receiving assistance from another organization- it is possible that we could help your family AND another - so please don't anticipate answers and change your answers according to what you think will get you approved - PLEASE be HONEST.

*** Our only restriction; We only work with families only one time in a five year period. If we have helped a family previously, we limit assistance for the following 5 years in order to help as many families as possible. This restriction applies to any blood relative or household member of a family we have previously assisted. ***

You will be notified as quickly as possible of your application's status once application approvals have begun. If your family has received a "wait list" status- we encourage you to continue to seek other assistance as we can not make any promises about how many wait-listed families will be moved up by Dec 18m 2020.

Thank you!

1) Read all instructions completely before you begin.

PLEASE send any QUESTIONS about Project Christmas to us BEFORE YOU FILL OUT THIS APPLICATION

(with the SUBJECT "PROJECT CHRISTMAS APPLICATION QUESTION" so your message isn't missed) - to EvansFamilyLegoProject@gmail.com

INFORMATION ABOUT APPLYING:

Please know that all information is kept confidential. We do not release the names of the families who are requesting or receiving help because we believe that DIGNITY is crucial. Some recipients choose to share photos, or make a thank-you message public. This is done by choice - we do not require any kind of public recognition. While we love to hear from the families about how we've been able to help them - we would never want anyone to share identifying information that might embarrass them or their children.

Please Remember: Being in need, or receiving help, should never be a source of embarrassment. This assistance is for your CHILDREN to have a safe, happy and enjoyable holiday. There's no room for pride when it comes to children enjoying the holidays.

We ALL need help at times in our lives. We are giving families a HAND UP: not a hand-out.

Long-Form 2020 Project Christmas Application

Section 1a: Start Here!

Please read & agree:

All families applying for assistance must reside in Southern New Jersey.

Due to the type and amount of donations that we receive - ALL families must have at least one child under the age of 11 years old (*Unless the family includes children with special needs).

All families applying for assistance are eligible for sponsorship assistance one time in any 5 year period. If your family was placed on our waiting list and received PARTIAL assistance in the past, you are welcome to apply again.

By filling out this application, you are agreeing that your family has not received FULL sponsorship through our program on or after Dec 2015.

If you agree that your family meets the above requirements, please read the following statement regarding the current Pandemic situation, before proceeding on with the application.

I swear or afirm that the above is true and agree to fill out this document honestly, completely and to the best of my knowledge. *

Yes, I do No, I do not.

2020 Corona Virus Information & your Agreement to Notify: PLEASE BE ADVISED that due to the challenges & complications of running Project Christmas while dealing with ever-rising risks associated with Corona Virus - the amount and type of help we are able to provide families this year will LIKELY be affected. It is unlikely we will be distributing much or ANY clothing, shoes or household items to families until AFTER CHRISTMAS. Our focus this year, will be on meeting the needs and gift requests of the minor children, and while we will still do our best to help families in need with other necessary items - many of these items will need to be picked up / delivered AFTER Christmas (Jan/Feb 2021).

All families filling out this application hereby agree to take ALL possible precautions in reducing the possible exposure of our volunteers to illness.


1) If you or ANYONE in your home or family (or anyone who lives in your home) has been in contact with anyone who has had a cough, sore throat, fever or ANY OTHER potential symptoms of the Corona Virus within the last THREE WEEKS - You agree to immediately notify our staff VIA EMAIL or TEXT MESSAGE, informing us as to WHO is ill, and what your contact with this person has been (if they live in your home, work with you, etc.)

2) If you have been put at risk of exposure, OR if you have taken a test for ANY REASON, you agree to notify us that you have taken a Corona Virus test and you agree to share your test results with us electronically if requested. These results and ALL health-related communications will be kept 100% PRIVATE.

3) You agree that you will not attempt to be present at any scheduled appointment or pick-up if you have been put at risk for Corona Virus UNLESS we have been notified, we have CONFIRMED that we received your notification - 14 days of self-quarantine have passed AND/OR you have received a NEGATIVE test in the last (5) days.

4) You agree to notify us if you or anyone in your home is high-risk (Over the age of 50, currently pregnant or breastfeeding, imunocompromised, etc)

5) You agree that if you or anyone close to you has been to an Emergency Room, Public Health Office, Urgent Care Center, OR have shown signs of illness within the last 14 days-  you agree to have absolutely no in-person contact with our volunteers until you have been cleared via a negative test for Corona Virus (Rapid Test results are not accepted as they have proven unreliable.)

If you become UNABLE to attend an appointment due to an illness in your home/household or a confirmed diagnosis by someone directly connected to your family / home - We will make delivery arrangements wherever possible.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:

Please understand that our program is run by a VERY SMALL family / volunteer staff consisting almost ENTIRELY of high-risk individuals. Our volunteers include three people over the age of 70, four immunocompromised individuals & our program's director has both a serious chronic illness AND is currently PREGNANT - as such - we can not accept ANY unnecessary risk to our volunteers.

We expect you to wear a mask completely covering your NOSE and MOUTH - AT ALL TIMES INCLUDING times including when you are outdoors / arriving or departing from the facility where we are operating & ANY time you are dealing with our volunteers. If you do not agree with this - you will be asked to leave and we will not continue assisting your family. We have no choice but to take this EXTREMELY seriously.

  We will not be giving WARNINGS or REMINDERS - If you do not wish to wear a mask to protect yourself AND our volunteers -
DO NOT fill out this application. There are hundreds of children, including those in our own families as well as our director and both her young son and her unborn child who are all counting on the responsible behavior by all of those associated with Project Christmas. There is no room for errors, and if any of our small volunteer organization is to contract Corona Virus - the entire project will be halted and no families will be able to be assisted.

Your cooperation with ALL efforts to reduce transmission of the Corona Virus is expected.

This includes but is not limited to;

Remaining socially distanced from non-household members at all times. Responsible behavior when in public, avoiding private and public gatherings of all sizes unless those in attendance are members of your immediate household, following all state and local stay-home orders and/or voluntary requests for limited public exposure, quarantining for 14 days if you have traveled out of state or had contact with a person suspected of having Corona Virus as well as committing to regular hand washing & use of hand sanitizer, and wearing (and proper use of) personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks and/or face shields. This cooperation is NON NEGOTIABLE if you wish to participate / receive assistance.

If we become aware that your family or household members are putting our volunteers at risk, you will be removed from the program.

Obviously we do not want to do that, but we would hope that you understand our need to stand firm on this.

I agree with the Corona Virus declaration above. I agree to comply with the above requirements & I agree to notify Project Christmas if anyone in direct contact with myself or my family becomes ill at any time during this holiday season. *

I agree. I do not agree.

Section 4: Qualifying Information

Please provide us some information about your current home/living situation, to help us determine your family's eligibility and need.

Please include any information that would help us determine what types of items would or would not be safe/useful for the child with special needs.

This is not the place to list the child's wish list or toy preferences: That will be asked in a separate place.

We prefer that the help we provide to families be kept secret from the children in order to preserve the dignity of the parents involved, and to preserve the "magic" of Christmas. It is extremely unlikely that will we be able to deliver donations in 2020, due to the challenges posed by Covid-19.

All assigned pick-up times and dates would be assigned by Dec 16th and would be assigned between 10am-midnight Dec 18-22nd.

Please note - all donations are delivered unwrapped to allow parents to make the final decision on weather gifts are usable, appropriate, and will be enjoyed by the recipient. We will provide wrapping paper, tape, scissors, gift tags, ribbon, etc.

IS YOUR FAMILY ABLE TO PICK UP DONATIONS FOR YOUR FAMILY BETWEEN DEC 16-DEC 22 IF YOUR FAMILY IS SELECTED? *

We have a vehicle and can pick up in Voorhees, NJ We have a reliable ride who can bring us to pick up in Voorhees, NJ I am unsure if we will be able to coordinate someone to pick up donations in Voorhees, on our behalf. We would require delivery at the address above

Section 8a: Special Factors

This is the part of the application where you explain WHY your family needs help from Project Christmas. This is your opportunity to explain your personal family situation, and to explain your family dynamic and why your family should be selected. Please be detailed, and truthful about your family's situation. Simply saying "We can't afford Christmas gifts" does not help us to better understand your situation - please realize that everyone applying is in that same situation.

This information may be shared (in part, and completely void of names or identifying information) on your family's bio if your family is selected for sponsorship.

Important: If you wish for any of this information to be kept OUT of your family's public biography (again, there are NO names used on our website - families are identified only by a Family # that you're assigned) - please note that you would like this information to be kept confidential. If your family is selected -we will contact you for you to review and approve your family's biography for our website before it is published.

Question #1: Has anyone in the home dealt with drug/alcohol dependency, and if so, what is the person's current status. (If a person is currently in recovery, has attended a treatment center, currently attends AA/NA, etc.) If your family requests information and assistance, we will provide you confidential links and information to assist your family with those needs - they will NOT affect your eligibility / application for assistance for the holiday.

This information is completely confidential and will only be used to help determine the family's need and eligibility. Having a household member with a substance abuse issue does NOT disqualify the family from receiving assistance; please be honest.

Please type N/A in the box if this does not apply to your family. (You can not leave the box blank.)

SUBSTANCE ABUSE IMPACT *

Question #2: If your family has been impacted by domestic violence, please include that information here. Many families we have helped in the past have come to us from women's/family shelters and left their homes with no belongings to escape domestic violence. It is our intention to do as much as possible to help these families with their recovery& rebuilding. Please include any information that would help us determine what kind of assistance you need help with. We can provide information about free counseling, victims advocacy groups who can help with prosecution, etc. You are not required to disclose who the perpetrator was, nor any personal or medical information. Please only share what you feel comfortable sharing.

Please type N/A in the box if this does not apply. (You can not leave the box blank.)

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IMPACT *

Question #3: Has the family been impacted by any other situations or life circumstances that have impacted your family's financial security, your ability to work and provide for your family, etc. Any information will be used solely to determine eligibility and need for assistance and will not be disclosed. You may want to include information about employment, health struggles, or other circumstances that have led you to seek assistance this holiday season. Please share any other information about the family's struggles / needs that can help us determine how we can best help you.

Please type N/A in the box if this does not apply. (You can not leave the box blank.)

FINANCIAL IMPACT *

Question #4: If your children or family members have ever been the subject of an investigation, and/or been offered / recieved services through any state's children & family services program, please explain how your family came to be the subject of that investigation, the results of the investigation(s), when those cases were closed, and what actions were taken. Please use this space to explain any period of time that you did not have custody of any of the children currently in your care (including cases of adoption / foster placement / loss of custody permanent or temporary). If you have taken courses or recieved services for any of your family members through a social services program, if you have graduated/completed any courses or classes offered, please include those here.

If your family is currently involved with CPS / DYFS or any other social services organization, please explain what their current involvement is with your family. (Please note - Being the subject of a CPS / DYFS investigation does NOT disqualify your family in any way - including families who have at some point lost custody of their children. Our goal here is to better understand what your children have been through, and how your family is taking strides to be better, together. We do not judge families based on the status/closure of these cases- please be thorough and complete in your explanation of any contact your family has had with CPS/DYFS even if the case was closed as unfounded, or the subject of the investigation never lived with you, or no longer lives with you.) If you have biological children that you do not have custody of, or contact with - please explain those circumstances here. Again - We are NOT here to judge. We understand that MANY parents have given children up for adoption, for temporary placement, etc during various difficult times in their lives.

This information will be kept confidential and we will not release any information on your family's biography unless we've discussed it with you FIRST and have received permission to do so.

Please type N/A in the box if this does not apply. (You can not leave the box blank.)

CPS / DYFS Involvement *

Section 8b: Community Ties / Personal References

Below - Please list three community members (at least two of whom you are NOT related). These references are people who you should have a good relationship with, that you have known and interacted with in person (Not online exclusively). These people should also be aware (in some capacity) of your family's situation. This is the type of person who would be a good contact / point of reference for you & your family member if you were applying for a job or going to court.

  Good suggestions include; Family Friends, Your current or recent past Coworkers, Previous or Current Employer or Supervisor at a Volunteer Organization, Religious Organization Members / Religious Leaders, Police Officers, Social Workers, Nurses / Physical Aids, Teachers (yours or your child's), or anyone that you or your family have regular contact with that would be able to vouch for the validity of your family's need for financial assistance. We will NOT release ANY details of your application to this person, we will merely ask them to provide a personal character reference / to tell us about your family and why you family is deserving of assistance this holiday season. Your references must be people you know or have known well within the last 3 years - they do NOT need to live locally / in South Jersey, as long as they are actively involved in your life and you have at some point known them well / in person (IE you've met them off-line and had contact with them outside of social media / the internet).

Please choose someone RELIABLE who you believe WILL contact us back quickly -  If we aren't able to contact your references, your application may remain on hold indefinitely.

Reference #1 - Please list your first reference: Choose a person who does not live with you; someone who knows you & your family, who knows of your family's situation, and who is not a blood relative to you or anyone in your household. Please be sure to give this person permission to speak with us on your behalf - if the person listed knows you in a PROFESSIONAL capacity (such as a social worker)- please be sure to have that permission documented or given to them in writing, so that they are able to speak with us when we call.

Section 9a: Family Holiday Supplies Needed

DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE ANY CHRISTMAS DECOR CURRENTLY? * *

HOW MANY CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS DO YOU NEED? * *

PLEASE SHARE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE DECOR YOU COULD USE / WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR HOME. *

PLEASE SELECT ANY GIFT WRAP SUPPLIES NEEDED; *

Section 10: The Children

Please list each person under the age of 21 living in the household.

Please be sure to list each child's current (or next) clothing size - or a range of sizes if the child needs clothing they will soon grow into. Please include sizing for boots/winter wear for this current year.

We do our best to choose items that will work for each child, and we often communicate with parents during the collection process.

PLEASE list your children YOUNGEST to OLDEST.

** This is arguably the MOST important part of your application. **

Please list your child's interests and wish list items as SPECIFICALLY as possible. We are building an Amazon wish-list page for each sponsored family, and many donors ask us for links to EXACT items they could order for a family in need. It's great if "Any Barbie" is accurate - but if your daughter has her heart set on Astronaut Barbie, or Barbie clothing or a Barbie Doll House - please be sure to include that information.

If there are any specific toys or games they DO NOT like (like a child who has sensory issues and dislikes slime toys) - this is the place to make that clear. Please list a MINIMUM of ten-fifteen items PER CHILD. Understand that we don't know your child, and we don't like to make assumptions about what type of gifts they might enjoy. I know it's hard to ask them about the things they might want for Christmas, when you are very unsure about your ability to provide those things, but please try to give us an idea of the type of things your child ALREADY likes (but does not have) and be as specific and list AS MANY types, categories or names of toys because the more detail you give us - the better able we are to select items for your child that he or she may enjoy.

It is okay to list a specific gift card (for example, if your child is dying for "Robux" for the online Roblocks game) - but please understand that our ability to provide gift cards is EXTREMELY limited, and if your child's entire wish list consists of gift cards, it's extremely unlikely we'll be able to select your family for sponsorship. On that same note - while it is sometimes possible to secure a gently used computer or tablet or an older model gaming system- It is very unlikely that we will have any new/newer gaming systems donated. We are also VERY unlikely to have any NEWER cell phones available, but models that are a few years old may be possible. (Please be sure to specify a service provider if you make this request). If your child ALREADY has a device and has a request for a specific game or games, please understand that if we ARE able to meet these requests, it is typically one per child, so please include a variety of OTHER options, outside of gift cards and electronics, for their wish list. I know that is becoming more and more difficult to do as many children are heavily focused on gaming & devices, but realistically, it's not likely to be within our budget to provide multiple electronics / games and gift cards to a specific child or multiple children in one family, as it would severely limit the number of children and families we can help in total.

We understand that your providing a long wish list does NOT mean that you are being "greedy" - the more options we have that will make your child happy on Christmas morning, the easier it is to select your family for sponsorship, because there are more opportunities to match donations to your family's children. On the same note - this wish list should not be expected to be a complete list of what we PROMISE to provide to families who are selected for sponsorship. Our goal is to provide and adequate amount and variety of gifts, while remaining fair to any other children in your household. If one child has a wish-list item that is more expensive, and it is something we are able to provide, please keep in mind that the child may get less gifts (in number)than another, because we base our packing for each family around the approximate value of the gifts.

If you already have any gifts purchased or that you know your child will be receiving from a family member, etc - please include that information here so that we know NOT to provide that exact same item. This information also helps us to select from donations that will better fit your child (For example, if your child's Aunt is passing on a Barbie house to your daughter - it would be appropriate for us to provide additional gifts that would go with that gift, such as additional furniture, dolls, clothing, vehicles, etc.

If your child already has a beloved toy that he or she would enjoy accessories for (for example, they already own a 19" doll but would like more clothing or accessories for it) - please include this information as this type of detail is extremely helpful.

If your list is incomplete, extremely short, or without detail - this MAY be the thing that stops your application from approval. Please do your best to give us as much detail about your child's wishes and interests as you possibly can. Thank you!

We do have many bags of children's clothing sorted by gender and size already - we MAY be able to pack some of these bags for families to go through, to select items, however, we will not be able to sort the clothing specifically for your child's needs and preferences. We will make arrangements with families to discuss available clothing donations that we may have for you to review. We ask that your family go through the clothing, and re-bag anything you will not be able to use, to be dropped back off (or picked up) at your earliest convenience.

If your child has any IMMEDIATE needs (For example - your child does not currently have a winter coat) - please put that information in the box immediately below this message so that we may include this on your child's wish list to put a priority on these clothing items.
