    While many are clamoring for the iPhone X this holiday season, some kids in this country are in need of the basics, like food.

    Rayn Boncie, founder of Things of My Very Own, an organization that provides crisis intervention services to children impacted by extensive abuse and/or neglect, posted this message on Facebook from one child in its care:

    "I want school snacks so I'm not the only one not eating during snack time at school."

    But there are many other children in need. Things of My Very Own, based in Schenectady, New York, shared with ABC News a few of the tags from its holiday gift drive.

    Each year, the organization helps 5,000 to 7,000 children in the New York region.
