Christmas Presents for Children in Poverty

As some maybe be aware, we have a huge problem of children in poverty in UK. I am in constant contact with a charity and try my best to help out all year, wherever I can. I received a list from the charity for about 60 kids, showing their "wish list" item. I was HEART BROKEN to see some children asked for a hat, or a deodorant set, or socks when they could have asked for anything. There wishes were small and simple. Some were asking for items to share with their siblings too - still in that moment not thinking about themselves. These kids have nothing or very little. I know from my childhood, and looking at the kids rooms in my house, this is far from what we know about. I have put in every single gift from this entire list (some bigger gifts, some smaller) and the total was just shy of £1200.00. I was hoping to be able to get each child their wish list present. I did bump the children who asked for too little  (the child that asked for deodorant and the other child that asked for a hat) - I added a board game for each of them at £10. I was also hoping to get the family £10 of food per child. Although food banks are helpful, we are trying to get them a christmas day meal sorted as we have the ability to buy in bulk through Daves (who is a chef) suppliers. That brings the total to £1700 (£28.33 per kid) to get them their dream present and a nice christmas day meal. If anyone can dig deep in these hard times, and help in anyway to make this happen for these children please donate. Even a small amount several times adds up to a much bigger amount very quickly. Please donate if you can as all presents need to be delivered to the charity by the end of this month. Thanks Amy xx
