[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous poster saying its not for a specific child and that they have electronics does not know what she is talking about. OP, if the child requested clothes, of all things, assume that child does not have much. Very nice of you to give a toy also (non electronic, please).[/quote]

I DO know what I am talking about.  I have worked for 2 different organizations in 2 different states (different parts of the country--I'm not talking Maryland and VA or something) providing toys to children.   *MOST* (though maybe not all) organizations do not list specific kids on the cards.   They are generic kids of a certain age/gender to ensure that they get a variety of toys--otherwise the groups would get mostly toys for the "under 5" set, and almost nothing for the older children.

It *IS* nice of the OP to include a toy with the clothes---but believe me, it is very unlikely that this group already knows exactly which "10 year old boy" this is going to.   They gave "his" size--probably the size that is typical for a 10 year old boy.   The clothing might actually end up going to a very large 7 year old or a very small 14 year old...the toy might go to a different boy than the clothes do.   And that is fine.   [/quote]
