Our office is sponsoring a 13 yr old boy from a shelter for Christmas - his wish list is a basketball and a hooded sweatshirt. What else would be appropriate?

Speaking from experience, if he is in a shelter electronic games and such can be easily stolen, sold or traded my advise would be to get him clothing and maybe school items. A basketball would be okay because he probably has access to a playground. You could get him shoes, socks, underwear, jeans, maybe a winter coat and hat. Another item would be gift cards or certificates from McDonald's or whatever fast food places are in your area. What a great thing for your office to do, are there enough people in your office to sponsor more than one child???

If he is from a shelter you may check into if his clothing needs are being met. Does he have a warm winter jacket, gloves, socks, etc. 13 yr old boys are tough. Your sponsored boy's list sounds about like my son's. His also includes video games though. At his age they have pretty much out grown most toys except sporting goods and electronics.

Since he likes basketball, check to see if your local YMCA has a court and pay court/gym fees for a year??
