Since my daughter started working for DCFS I started adopting families for Christmas. I made sure they were families that were not on some list, people that had no reason to expect anything. The social workers would always invite me to bring the gifts so I go to see the excitement and appreciation in their eyes.
Sometimes, mom would not speak English so I would have to get the oldest kid to give me details like A/S/Hobbies so they could get an appropriate gift. It was not a lot, but it was cool to see how appreciative these families were.
Stamps are expensive and a luxury for some. I know last year my contact told me she had a thank you card for me from the family, but she never made the effort to get it to me. TBH, I thought that sucked.
