Today's good news story comes from Roaring River, North Carolina.

The devastating news reached the local community through a TV broadcast, catching the attention of Charles Mitchell, a man she had never met.
Mitchell, who had just undergone dialysis the day before, was struck by the injustice of the situation.
“I was sitting there thinking how good things are for me,” he recalled. “And I saw the story, and it broke my heart that someone would steal — especially this time of year. And it flashed in my head: what can we do to help?”
Refusing to stand by and simply lament the situation, Mitchell decided to take action. He contacted Tabitha to learn more about the stolen gifts and enlisted the help of his friends.
Together, they set out to replace everything that had been taken.

“Instead of sitting here saying how terrible it is, let’s do something about it,” Mitchell said, emphasizing the power of turning compassion into action.
Their efforts didn’t just restore Tabitha’s stolen Christmas—they restored her hope.
Mitchell said he hopes people see this story, and that it inspires them to go do something for others.
