Christmas Miracle

By Rachelle Odle • December 20, 2015

Since the beginning of December a man has been collecting our can. One day I left a note and he wrote back saying he was unemployed and that his kids wouldn't have Christmas. Today I wrote back and asked the kids age, he responded with 5 and 13. I had received a gift card from my DHS worker and went out and bought his kids a couple of gifts so they could have Christmas. He came and got the gifts in tears thanking me, he couldn't thank me enough. I didnt want a thank you or anything in return. His thank you was the most deepest thank you I have ever heard.
