WWYD? Would you be offended?

[PonyPals]

Our neighbours across the street have 3 young kids and I think they are really struggling financially. The last couple of months there has been a soup van from Salvation Army outside their house.
I don't know them very well as they seem to keep to themselves but with Christmas coming I was thinking of wrapping up some presents and putting them by their door.
I bought 6 presents (2 each), wrapped them and put a sticky note describing what was inside so that the parents can decide who gets what.
It is now midnight (Australia) and I am thinking of sneaking across. My Dh thinks that it's not a good idea and they could be really offended.
WWYD?
I am not leaving my name, it is anonymous. Would you be offended?

Well then it's not relevant is it? Not in relation to this OP.

Aye whatever love. You were the one that mentioned Victorian. I was just confirming that parts of Oz are.

I think they may be bemused but other wise delighted and touched by random kindness.

Not quite the same last year the church of my dd school sent a lady to my address with a card for Christmas I thanked her and closed the door, opened the card to find £60 in it, I'm not in poverty but low income so didn't understand why I got it but was delighted and touched by it and figured I will return kindness in future.

You actions came from a good place op,

No, Kirri they're really not.

As a child we lived in poverty. My mum "kept up appearances" out of pride and privacy.

Looking back, I wish she hadn't so much. There were times for me that were a real struggle for me, physically and emotionally. I used to wonder why nobody noticed that we were struggling so much and why no-one helped us. It made me think about the world in a certain way for a long time.

So bless you OP, absolutely bless you.

Our local food bank delivers food, esp at Christmas when it closes more and tried to give everyone enough to last a week.

For those who would feel judged and humiliated to receive in this way, is this how you judge others in need? I've always thought about charity as a wheel - you give when you're on the rise and accept help when you hit hard times.

Wind your neck in user and stop nit picking, seems like you're spoiling for a fight.

Lovely thought OP, I'm sure the kids will love the presents regardless of any offence the parents may feel. Isn't that all that matters?

user oh dear oops you're right i hadn't read that it was done already
The victorian comment is spot on too.
