Hi Jayne,
Yes it would be lovely to get something organized for next year.
Well done for taking this little girl 'under your wing'.I have said to my two children, many times, "you don't realize how fortunate you are"! We are certainly not well off but our children have never gone without. When I hear stories about children who are very poor or neglected,it makes me so upset. There was a child in my daughter's class who was eventually put into foster care. She came to school every morning, starving and would steal the other children's snacks. She was dirty and her mother talked to her like she was scum. It was so sad, as at the beginning, a lot of the kids in her class didn't like her as she stole food from them, but once they understood why she did it, they became friends with her. When she left to go to a different school, she was inundated with cards and gifts. She still keeps in contact, and is doing well.
