The Christmas Box that Changed my Life!
Because of my embarrassment at my family being in a homeless shelter, it was several days before I could look anyone in the eye.
It was a few days before Christmas, when I swallowed my pride and accepted a box of gifts, donated by one of your kind supporters. My heart began to melt and it was a turning point.

An enormous thanks goes to Beth Higginbotham, Jane Bower, Jessica Eaton, Patricia Eaton Perez and her gymnasts at Desert Devils Gym for their gracious donation of 50 turkeys and fixings!
When she dropped them off, Patricia shared what so many of you have found, "It feels so good to give."
Because of their generosity, the children, families and individuals living in A New Leaf shelters will be enjoying the tastes and aroma of roasted turkeys this holiday season.
WE ARE THANKFUL!
