Dear Friend,   

Below is a video of one of the homeless men (Ronny) receiving gifts for Christmas. He wrote three things on his Wish List for our "Adopt a Son for Christmas Program." The person who adopted him was asked to choose one gift from his Wish List. But this donor who adopted him, ended up purchasing all three gifts!

Ronny received a nice winter hat, a baseball cap, a hooded sweatshirt and socks. Ronny was truly blessed by this generosity!
