Thousands of forgotten angels need your help.

This year, the Salvation Army is trying to help more than 10,000 needy kids have presents on Christmas through their Angel Tree program. But with Christmas a week-and-a-half away, many are worried that despite best efforts - some will still go without.

News on 6 anchor Scott Thompson says generous Tulsans have adopted 6,000 children so far. That still leaves 4,000 little angels yet to be adopted. The Salvation Army says boys are far less likely to be adopted, especially the older ones.

That's why the choir from Asbury United Methodist Church decided to adopt 100 boys. The choir picked up the names on Saturday, and already more than half of the gifts are back. The choir members tried to fill every wish list to the letter, from brand-new bikes to a simple pair of shoes. Marty Morris with the Asbury United Methodist Church choir: "It's a little heartbreaking for me to see that one of the things they want is a pair of shoes. So we tried to do our very best in doing above and beyond what was asked."

Of course, the Salvation Army can still use your help. To adopt a child, just go to the Angel Tree at Woodland Hills Mall, pick out your angel, then bring the unwrapped gifts back before Christmas Eve.
