Hi,
Pretty crazy to be talking about Christmas in August but the topic came up the other day.
Is it possible to sponsor a family for Christmas- Gifts/food etc? And, what's the best way to do it?
Last year my family & extended family spend way too much on giving nonsensical gifts to each other just for the sake of it.
I would like to see if it is possible to directly sponsor a family for the period and spend €20 each on a secret santa type of set up.
I already give to charities and like the idea of shopping specifically for a family over giving an additional donation to a charity.
I am not looking to meet the family directly and like the idea of getting general info on them to assist with what to buy.
e.g.
family of 5, 2 boys aged 5,8 and 1 girl aged 12 listing some of their interests.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Is there any merit to it or is it just self serving?
