Thanksgiving and the Holidays….after the “interesting” year the Kurozawa family has had, we are extremely thankful for our friends, family and the community that helped us out when we needed help.

Now our family focus goes to helping others, but primarily one family this holiday season.

Rob has been a friend for 25 years and is going through a situation I cannot imagine.
A single dad raising two young daughters, left in a financial mess thanks to a disastrous relationship, trying to get custody of his stepson who is in the foster care system.

Living in an apartment with a landlord that does not care about his tenants or their safety, limited income dues to employment troubles, and recently had his power shut off due to months of being able to pay.

Our family wanted to “adopt” Rob and his daughters this Christmas to make sure the girls get a visit from Santa, but getting them presents doesn’t seem to be the right thing to do when they are in such need.

Once again I turn to you, my friends, colleagues and social media family. You came to our aid in July, helped out the amazing family of @TeecycleTim…can we do it one more time?

The need here is immense: a new place to live, a job, money to help get caught up on utilities. I am personally asking for your help to give the greatest Christmas gift we can give Rob and his family.

I am working on arranging a bank account for donations to go to, but I need your help.
With a combined 1,900 friends on Twitter and Facebook, plus another 500 connections on LinkedIn, I figure we could all make a major impact with just a few dollars each.

Rob does not know I am doing this for him (any being the prideful guy he is will get mad) but his family needs our help.
Stay tuned to my Twitter account for updates…Thank you for your help!
