i am a single mother who sort of knows what to do. every year the salvation army has a program called the angel tree where a generous person picks your childrens names off of this tree and buys age appropiate toys and clothing. to get you childrens names on this tree you must call your local salvation army and ask how you go about doing this. i am pretty sure the guidelines differ from state to state, but please call quickly b/c it could be ending soon. there is also the sydney fund, it is a voucher for toys. the best place to start is at your local welfare office if that applies to you. they sometimes have info or numbers to give for places that can help with toys and clothing. in massachusetts there is a program called first call for help. they give you the numbers to these places like churches and centers that give toys, clothing and food. call your welfare office to get the numbers to the programs that can help you and your family. if i find out any more info i will post here. have a wonderful year and happy holidays.
