I'm sorry you don't have the money to buy presents for your grandchildren, but for $10 you can get them gift cards at book stores like Barnes and Noble and Borders for the older kids. These would work for the younger ones as well as most kids love to read, and it's never too early to get them started. Target has lots of nice gifts for babies in the under $15 range. Of course, cookies and baked treats are always appreciated. Or just write them each a heartfelt letter, telling them what they mean to you and how they have impacted your life. Talk about your favorite times and memories with them and tell them how much you love and cherish them. It sounds cheesy but I guarantee the kids who aren't old enough to appreciate your sentiments today, will certainly appreciate them at a later age. You have much more to give than what is in your wallet. Give it freely and you will give a gift they will never forget. Hi.

I know that it doesn't help to hear that when you're struggling yourself. If you're really looking for a miracle you could try some radio station give-aways or the Ellen Show. Otherwise, since your older grandchildren like to read and you like to write, maybe you could customize a story for them with your own original writing. I think that would be a great gift! Good Luck!
