A little help to get my kids ready for school!

It has been a very tough year, I lost my job after hurting my back and things have just gone down from there. Now my kids are excited to get back to school and truth be told I'm terrified! I have nothing for them yet and not sure other then lunches what I am going to be able to get them.

I have a SK, grade 2 and grade 3 student this year, they all need backpacks my SK would love Barbie, Tinkerbell or even something girly, my grade 2 daughter would love Hello Kitty and my grade 3 son honestly would probably prefer something a solid color or red and black together as he loves those two colors. Truth be told beggers can't be choosers so anything would do. They all also need lunch bags, theirs last year we washed the last day of school and they just crumbled, no amount of sewing will keep them together since they were the plastic material ones, they just keep ripping.
They need markers, pencil crayons, pencils, erasers, ruler, crayons and construction paper, indoor and outdoor shoes (size 11 girls, size 2 girls and size 3 boys) and if I could find them each at least a nice shirt for their first day it would totally make their day girls size 5, girls size large, boys size medium. I need to get their hair cut.
I know how important the first day of school was when I was little and feel like a complete failure that I can't make it special for them or provide them everything they need this year. I've called all of the community centers to see if they offered assistance for back to school but they were either already full or not in our district. I'm so lost, any help would be very much appreciated. We are located in Ontario, Canada Thank you hero's!

I would like to help you but the shipping costs to Canada are outrageous. I hope you can find a Canadian person who might help you with school supplies.

I do hope you find your back to school hero. As for the hair cut JC Penny hair salons are giving FREE BACK TO SCHOOL HAIRCUTS ALL MONTH OF AUGUST LONG so just give them a call and set up an appointment. I myself have a 10th grader and a 2nd grader and don't quite know how I'm going to get everything they need as well. It's about $250 in school fees and it needs to be paid on the 22nd of this month when she goes to registration.
