Season of giving
My husband and I decided to adopt a family for Christmas...a family I personally know.
The 14 year old daughter happens to be a past student of mine (6 years ago) and her divorced, single mother, who works full time and works hard to provide a better life for her family, has only enough money to live month by month with no extras.
Mom didn't have enough money to buy food in order to cook a special Thanksgiving dinner so she took her children to a communal Church dinner. My heart broke when I heard that so my husband and I decided we didn't want that to happen again for Christmas. Her youngest is only 4 years old! This is a magical time for him and we wanted to make sure the "magic" would be there this year.
So, we have given them a Christmas tree and all the trimmings, Christmas dinner, and money for presents.
Have you helped anyone in need this holiday season?
