indeed brother fury, have they not heard of trickle down? it isn't niagara falls fer cris'sakes!
Amazing story.
True, gt. I like these sorts of stories about ordinary people, and even children, doing good deeds for people that they don't know. Makes one have more faith in the human spirit of kindness.
As for MF's comment, look past it and enjoy the holiday season. Paix, mon ami.

A fine story, especially when one considers all that the Salvation Army does for those in need.

The Garcia family's angels appeared in shirts and ties, singing "Feliz Navidad" as they approached the house on Umatilla Street.
Santa drove up behind them pulling a trailer packed with so many presents, it took the more than 30 men several minutes to carry everything inside the Denver home.
Taking it all in, Cristobal Garcia, 11, leaned against his aunt.
"This is the best Christmas I ever had," he said.
"Me, too," Patricia Garcia said.
It may be one of the more improbable of this season's Christmas stories, how these men — all of them addicts and convicts in a long-term treatment program — came to be called "angels" by a family that almost lost everything three months ago.

Sweden: Wedding ring 'found on carrot' after 16 years
Lena Paahlsson says the ring was on a small carrot she was about to discard
A Swedish woman has discovered her wedding ring on a carrot growing in her garden, 16 years after she lost it, says a newspaper.
Lena Paahlsson had long ago lost hope of finding the ring, which she designed herself, reports Dagens Nyheter. The white-gold band, set with seven small diamonds, went missing in her kitchen in 1995, she told the paper. Although the ring no longer fits, she hopes to have it enlarged so she can wear it again.
Mrs Paahlsson and her family live on a farm near Mora in central Sweden.
She took the ring off to do some Christmas baking with her daughters, but it disappeared from the work surface where it had been left, she explained to Dagens Nyheter.
The family searched everywhere and years later took up the tiling on the floor during renovations, in the hope of finding the ring.
It was not until 16 years later when Mrs Paahlsson was pulling up carrots in her garden that she noticed one with the gold band fastened tightly around it.
Lena Paahlsson and husband Ola say it is incredible that the ring has been found
"The carrot was sprouting in the middle of the ring. It is quite incredible," her husband Ola said to the newspaper.
The couple believe the ring fell into a sink back in 1995 and was lost in vegetable peelings that were turned into compost or fed to their sheep.
"I had given up hope," Mrs Paahlsson told Dagens Nyheter, adding that she wanted to have the ring adjusted to fit her.
"Now that I have found the ring again I want to be able to use it," she said.
