[REQUEST] A Reddit Christmas Miracle! Help family with 6 children whose mother was murdered this year, grandma left to care for all 6 children.

The Family's Story: Earlier this year, a mother of 6 and domestic abuse victim, was murdered in a domestic violence dispute leaving behind her 6 young children ages 6,6,9,9,11 and 14. The grandma now cares for all 6 of these children all on her own. According to the organization who matched us up with this family...the family is extremely poor, on social security and this will be their first Christmas without their mom. It will surely be a very difficult Christmas this year.

My story: I volunteer with a group of about 10 teenage girls ages 12-17 who are doing a fundraiser to raise money for Christmas for this family. About 80% of the items on this family's wish list are for clothes (their greatest want/need), which is our main focus. The remaining 20% "wants" are books and toys. Realistically, there will not be enough money for both clothes AND toys/books but we would still like to give them a few toys and fun items because Christmas wouldn't be complete without them!

Reddit, if you are planning on making any charitable contribution this Christmas.....I ask that you consider helping this family out by purchasing a gift for a child from this wish list I have created on their behalf (the organization sent me their wish list): http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/1SCTUFMT6RMRW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_ws_3Wh0ob17K7DXT_wb

Any purchases made would be greatly appreciated by the family and the girls that are helping to sponsor this very needy and most deserving family for Christmas! Let's make it a Christmas miracle for this family, Reddit!

Edit #6: I added a few more books and items for the kids because people are still wanting to contribute to this deserving family of 7! You guys are awesome!

Edit #7: One of the 6 year old boys really wanted to get a bike for Christmas. I hesitated putting it on the wish list in fear that someone would buy the bike but not the other gifts for the other kids, leaving an inequality of value of gifts among the kids...but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue now. The cheapest bike I could find was at Walmart. If anyone is interested in purchasing this bike for the 6 year old and making this kid's year, please PM me. It's free shipping and I would be happy to pick it up from the store. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Surge-18-Boys-Bike-with-Training-Wheels/17180879 BIKE HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY JETBOYTERP...AWWWWESOME!!!!
