We then went to the store (which shall not be named) and purchased items that were on the list and took it up to the Kandy Kane Korner in Salt Lake City just a few days before Christmas. We took our camera with us to get pictures of us delivering the gifts, but the batteries were dead. Nonetheless, the workers were so excited to recieve our gifts for the children and we are sure that they were received with happy, thankful hearts.
It is tough to hear stories this time of year about people who are so poor and in such need, but it also opens all of our eyes as to how well off we are and how much more we can do for those in need. This was a great experience for us to rack our brain and think of others during this time of giving.
Merry Christmas Fabio and Emalei, We Love You
Love Dale and Leisa

This is so sweet you guys. I love that you were able to help some of the homeless children there locally. Did you read our family's August bookclub book? It was the true story about a teacher in SLC who taught at a school that was specifically for homeless children in Salt Lake County. Very sad, very touching. Way to go!!
