Dilemma

I just read someones blog about kids making christmas cookies..sounds fun..actually am thinking of getting some of my friends and their kids together to that...The tree is up and the shopping is done..but now there is a dilemma..At my husbands school where he works (bootcamp to reform kids who have been either in trouble or help them with grades) there is 2 families who can't afford Christmas and I have been trying to get a church or some of these groups around here to adopt them and I just can't find anyone to take on this family. Together there is 10 children ranging between 5-15....I already planned on buying the dinner for them..and one of my moms friends owns a resturant where they smoke hams and turkeys during the holidays and well they offered to give both families a turkey so I just have to get all the trimmings...now..the 10 kids..I am in hopes that the Kiwanis club here helps they helped get the single soldiers baskets for when they came home from Iraq. They came up with all kinds of stuff for them. I approached them last week and they will be letting me know about it this week, keep your fingers crossed for me. I can't bare the thought of these kids not having Christmas but even if I take them all on and buy for them all it still not gonna be the Christmas they desire because I can't afford to get them all a bunch of stuff a piece...I can get them some stuff but you know they want more than a couple of gifts but a couple is better than none..Dinner and a couple of gifts is better than they had last year one of the mothers told me that last year they had corndogs and no presents..so I am guess that even if I find no help for them what i can do is better than nothing..The other mother is a single mother of 4 boys and her husband just got up one day and walked out on her she never had a job and she basically works for minimum wage and can barely survive..
Its just weird for me because growing up I never had to worry were anything was coming from it was just always there. Not like I didnt know this existed but I have never known anyone to go through it.
