I would like to make up some boxes but haven't found any good links. Anybody know?

Christmas Child

You could also check with a church locally.

Ours does too. We were a collection center for the city . It really is a great organization

For the last two years, my 14 and 16 yo daughters have asked us to use their Christmas money for these and to donate to St. Jude's and Make a Wish. This year will make the third. My 16 yo works and uses her own money as well.

I met this awesome kid in Yusufuah named Basel some years back. We send he and his family gifts every year.

His letters are worth it.

In all of the turmoil of war and how I met the kid, it just keeps me in perspective on how other people have to live and how we live but for the grace of God.
