Back when I was still a single Mom of 4, working a full time job during the day, and a part time job in the evenings, plus getting zero child support or any help in any way from their father, we were recipients from an 'adopt a family' in our area. I can tell you from personal experience that this meant more to the kids & I than I could even put into words. Not only did boxes of household supplies & groceries arrive on our doorstep, but little gifts for the kids such as tim horton's vouchers for each child that they could use to get their own hot chocolate - they were placed inside an empty toilet paper tube which was then wrapped up in wrapping paper & ribbon to look like those christmas crackers I remembered as a child

There were even knitted scarves, mittens, socks - all sorts of goodies, and it was very wonderful to receive them.
Last year I was finally able to afford to pay that forward & created a basket for another single mother that contained all sorts of items as well including diapers & wipes for her baby.
What an awesome thing you are doing for that family. While I know you are doing this out of kindness, please know that the family that will receive your wonderful gift will appreciate it more than most people can imagine. Thank you for being such a kind person.
