I'd like to help in a small way

I would like to help someone who has fallen on hard times this year. Doesn't matter who or why. I have a few hours to oder via Amazon Prime and have a gift delivered in time for Christmas. If you or someone you know is in need, please send mefi mail. I'll send along a modest gift.
I wish I had come up with this idea, but I'm copying a post on Reddit. If this is inappropriate for AskMefi, I apologize. Seems like a nice thing to do and to have my children participate in. I know there are plenty of other ways to give, and we do. I'd like to do something within the context of the Metafilter community.

You could sort of do this by choosing a hospital listed on Child's Play. It's a good use of your Amazon Prime membership and will help deserving people, but will not have the same effect of sending a gift to someone who wasn't expecting one at all.

Having said that, I don't think this is a good post for AskMe.
