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?

GOD Bless you and yours, as you set a shinning example for all of GOD's children.

My cousin wanted to raise my sisters grandchild as her own, as her mother passed away unexpectedly and after being divorced. My sister, predeceased her very young daughter.

Her father stepped up to the plate to raise his daughter.
