I am so beyond excited. My family (mother, 2 aunts and 2 uncles, fiancè, and I) wanted to do someting meaningful this Christmas. We all pretty much have everything we need, so we figured our money would be better spent on others.
So....we are adopting a family at a domestic violence shelter in Clearwater, FL (where the rest of my fam lives)
. I am so SO excited about this. It is a woman and her three children. We're getting each of the kids a bike and helmet, along with other toys. For the mom, we're getting her household items, lots of chocolate (I always recommend that for clients!), and I'm going to buy her some good books on recovering from domestic violence.
I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Has anyone else ever done something like this for others during the holidays? If so, how'd it go?
