I haven't thought about this for a while because my niece and nephew have been out of harm's way for some months now but I remember we tried to send as many packages to them and their buddies as we could even if it were more than they could use. They always told us that there were more than a few that got little or nothing from family or friends and everything was shared and sometimes they gave stuff to the local population. I also remember soliciting friends and other relatives to send packages. Those that said they would were very sincere and most followed through. I don't fault those that didn't because I know that it just got away from them. But I also found that those that didn't would gladly donate to someone who would put it together. It's more work than you think, but in reality, nothing can duplicate the personal touch. I would encourage everyone that wants to help to participate by sending a package, or more realistically, donate to some group that is actively doing so. I've said my piece.
