Toys for Tot has programs in all 50 states, call your local school district they usually have the # to pass out, they allow you 5 gifts per child. Also you can give local churches a call, tell them your story & ask if they have a program that can help, you may ave to call a few churches as it is now very close to Christmas, but dont give up.
I would love to give you some phone #s, where do you live (metro area & state) I will check back to see if you added any details

Red Cross, A local Church, or try the DHS.... They usually have a toy drive for families that need a little help..... Also , some places have an angel tree, for families that need a little help... they put a paper angel on a tree, and list what thwe children would like, then people come and take the angels, go shopping for your children, and then bring back the presents with the list and leave them under the tree...... then usually the workersm gather the gifts, wrap them , then deliver them just in time for christmas......... Make some calls to your local DHS and Churches and Red Cross.... they should be able to put you in the right direction....

Call your local United Way office. They usually coordinate all the many programs designed to help people provide Christmas for their children.

Salvation Army, United way, the other churches in your area, social services. Any agency that gives out assistance. Get going! You've already left it awfully late!
Most of these agencies have already gathered up who they'll help, and have laid their plans out. Hopefully, you can find one agency who can squeeze your kids into their program.
Don't expect anyone else to help. Private persons, or whatnot. Doesn't happen.

Help...in terms of...a phone call from Santa, maybe. I did this last year. I e-mailed a radio station in my hometown and asked if they could call my son and tell him that he was going to bring me home for Christmas. I was in iraq at the time. I already knew I'd be home so i thought it'd be a great idea.

Depending on where you live, you can contact the Salvation Army. You can also try homeless shelters (not saying you are homeless but they know where you can get assistance) or your childrens school (inquire in the office). There are many different places that you can get assistance, as long as you ask.
