Santas Anonymous
I had very humble beginnings. Raised by a single mother back in the 1960’s. Don’t know how mum did it sometimes……now that I know the reality of what she was up against, but somehow Santa always showed up at our place. And for her sacrifice and committment, I am forever grateful. But, turns out, one year…..she had a little help from some very caring elves. And because of them, my little six-year old heart skipped a beat when I looked under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning, 1966.
I cannot fathom the thought of a little child waking up Christmas morning without a little something to unwrap. But it happens with astounding regularity in this very community.
A lot of very dedicated and caring people are devoting their energies this Christmas to ensure that the magic of the season is felt by every precious child in our community. And you can help. Support the Santas Anonymous program. Simply drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the donation box at your local Rogers Video store, or come on up to 570 News and drop one off at the donation box in our lobby. And if you’re there between nine and noon…..I’d love to come downstairs from the newsroom to say THANK YOU.
Merry Christmas!
