I was sent your open question and if you would like please email me your current situation and allow me to evaluate it. I have posted about 6 questions in regard to helping families in need this year for christmas. I am not an organization of any sort. Just trying to pass the blessing God gave me to be able to help.

around here they have christmas hampers from places like goodwill and salvation army. There are a few others. My husband and I are on disability pension from the province as so have very little coming in every month, there are no christmas funds, no extra bonus for christmas at all, so ya it is hard. Our son is 25 months old today. I am lucky that I have family that helps out when we really need it. Usually every year my grandmother buys a snowsuit for my son and for my cousin's daughter since they were on welfare at the time and like I said we are on disability pension. Some of the bigger area food banks around here like goodwill, savlation army, St Matthew's House, Neighbor-to-neighbor and a couple others, they have the christmas hamper registeration. Now I believe they are all done registerations here except for salvation army finishes on the 1st. Some give you a gift certificate for a grocery store, a family of 3 gets a $50 certificate, and you can use it for your christmas dinner or regular groceries, whatever you decide, except they can't be used for cigarettes, I think that is a good thing. Plus with the one I signed up for my son will get at least a toy for my to wrap up for christmas, last year he got a YMCA Elmo, a plush Ernie doll and a turtleneck shirt. This year I asked for an age appropriate leap pad for him since he loves it when we read him his books. They take requests and try to get people what they want. My cousin lives in a suburb I guess it is now, they have a different system and the parent gets something too, by request as well. It also helps if you get sponsored for your hamper because then the sponsor decides how much to get you and since they don't have many people to buy for you might get what you asked for and more.
You could also make something for your boys if you are so inclined. I crochet and if I had a sewing machine of my own, I sew as well. I made a cardigan each for my neighbor's daughter, her and my son played together before she moved, and both of my nephews and a sweater, hat and matching slippers for another cousin's baby.
Best wishes for you and your boys.

Last year we were having a very hard time and didnt know if we could get christmas for our kids either and we went to every church in our town and the other towns close to ours and to the salvation army and then we went to the school that the kids go to cause i had just had a stroke and couldnt work and then my husband suffered a heart attack almost at the same time i had my stroke so we didnt have an income at all,and that is the biggest christmas my kids had ever had cause people in our community really pitch in and helped out,, so that is my suggestion for you to do and im sure that someone out there will help you with getting something for your kids,,, I hope this helps and
God Bless you

Your church and Salvation Army.. Get your kid's names on the caring tree at Wal Mart and such. Can you fix their broken toys? Do they have clothes that need mendign? If so try to do those and wrap them in newspaper and re gift them to them on X/mas.. Most of all let them know that regardless of what is under that tree you still love them in every way possible. Good Luck.

If you are too late for Toys for Tots and Salvation Army, go to your local food bank, city hall and fire station and inquire for loal organizatiojns (they'll know), also the best advice can come from your children's school principal and or secretary. Local churches are another route.

properly maximum 'cool' childrens positioned on such issues as Hollister, Juicy Couture, purple branded clothing. in my opinion, i believe that cool is purely yet otherwise to make human beings experience undesirable about themselves, and that you cant be defined through your clothing. those who're 'cool' many times all positioned on an same bland, dull clothing from an same dull kind. I have a tendency to opt for better human being kinds. So i might want to assert get her some colourful issues that she will blend with the garments she'd were given now. perchance a skirt, or tights, or a lovable onesie, or t-shirts. If she truly should be cool, then she might want to attempt starting to be her personal unique kind, and be a a trendsetter. despite the indisputable fact that, out of your description of your daughter she sounds like she doesn't truly like clothing that a lot. perchance you may want to attempt books (bribe her to envision them, like say in case you examine this e book, i will take you out for dinner at your wide-spread restuarant), room makeover, kindle, rings (if she doesn't have her ears pierced, then ear piercing), play on a interest she has e.g if she likes drawing - a pad of paper. even perchance a puppy? If she's were given an iPhone she doesn't choose better electric powered products, it is going to maximum like;y purely distract her from her schoolwork, and make the probabilities of creating her examine books even a lot less.

i would say start with local schools and churches. they often 'adopt' families for christmas and i've seen many go as far as bringing them christmas dinner with all the fixings. also try salvation army or shade tree if you have that in your area.
my heart goes out to you and your family. i hope christmas does come this year.

The US Marines oversee 'Toys For Tots' - a wonderful group dedicated to collecting and distributing toys to needy children.
They will help you !!!!!
The Salvation army is another solid source for your needs at this time.
Gods Bless you and your children!!!

Call ur local chruches, they usually have toy donations,money and food donations for families in need. just tell them your situation. If they cannot help they will get in contact with people who can. I knew a family that was short on cash during christmas and our church gave them money,clothes,toys and food..tons of stuff. God Bless!
