Even When I Don’t Have Much Myself
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time for family, food, warmth, and people coming together.
But the truth is… not everybody has that. Some people don’t have a big family. Some don’t have a building to go to. Some don’t have friends pulling up with a plate.
And honestly, that includes me.
This year, I’m spending Thanksgiving mostly alone again. No big family table, no huge feast, no warm place full of people. But instead of letting that hurt sit inside me, I decided to flip it into something good. Something different. Something that can help somebody else who might feel the same way.
That’s where the idea for this $100 Thanksgiving Giveaway came from.
Not to flex. Not to look good online. Not for clout.
But to show that even when you don’t have much, you can still give. You can still show up for somebody else. You can still make somebody’s holiday feel a little less heavy.
🎄🎁 Why SantaSpot.xyz Exists A lot of people wonder why I created SantaSpot.xyz (or Santa’s Pot). It wasn’t just an app idea — it came from a deeper place.
I wanted to make a space where:
People can give even if they only have $1
1. The community can build itself through sharing and referrals
2.Someone struggling could randomly get blessed at the right moment
3.People like us — the ones without big families or support systems — could still be part of something
That’s really it. A digital potluck of giving. A small way to spread hope to somebody who needs it.
And since I don’t have the big building or fancy nonprofit facility yet, this is the version of community I can build right now. Online. Through small donations. Through people who get it. Through people who know what it feels like to go without.
💰🦃 The Thanksgiving Giveaway Story
Earlier this month I hit a small blessing on the SantaSpot platform myself. Nothing crazy — but enough to make me smile. Enough to remind me, “Yo… someone out there could use this feeling too.”
So I decided to flip that blessing into a $100 Thanksgiving Giveaway.
One family. One person. One moment of relief. One reason to breathe easier.
Not everyone can provide a Thanksgiving meal. Not everyone has a safe or peaceful place to go. Not everyone has support.
But if I can help just ONE person feel seen… if I can help ONE family get food… if I can give ONE person a moment of joy on a holiday that usually feels lonely… then that’s enough for me.
🎮✨ How It Works (Simple On Purpose)
To enter:
✔️ Donate $1 or ✔️ Complete the referral goal
That’s it.
I made it simple because I know how it feels to be in a spot where money is tight, emotions are heavy, and life feels like it’s stacking against you.
This is supposed to be easy, fair, and fun — not stressful.
💛 This Isn’t Just a Giveaway… It’s the Start of a Bigger Mission In the future, I want to take this online pot and turn it into a real physical space. A place where:
People can come in on holidays
The lonely don’t feel alone We cook together We laugh We help each other We build up the community with love, not judgment Families in need can get meals, clothes, and support People can feel at home even if they don’t have one But all big things start small.
SantaSpot is step one. This giveaway is step two. You reading this is step three.
🤝❤️ If You’re Reading This — You’re Part of the Mission I don’t care if you donate or share or not. I just want you to know someone out here is trying to make real change, even without having everything figured out, even without a big team, even without a big family or building behind me.
This is for people like us. People who feel overlooked. People who want to give but don’t have a lot. People who want community but don’t know where to find it.
We’re building it. Piece by piece. Dollar by dollar. Person by person.
