Christmas Day Blitz

On Christmas Day, 2009, volunteers knocked on a trailer door in one of the neighborhoods. An 84 year old woman answered the door. The volunteers asked how many lunches she needed and how her Christmas was going. She explained that her Christmas Day was the same as it had been for the past 20 years. Her last Christmas present came from her mother just before her mother died. With no family or friends she had not received anything since. The volunteers asked her if she could have anything for Christmas what would it be. She answered a kitchen table and a chair, she had never owned one. Some how the volunteers found a table and chairs on Christmas Day and made this lady's Day.
