In 2014, Larisha and her young daughter fell on hard times and lost everything they had. Christmas was coming, and Larisha feared she wouldn't be able to get her daughter any gifts. But the Buffalo, NY mother-daughter duo was in for a huge surprise.
This act of kindness was sparked by another act of kindness from a mother named Jennifer. In 2013, Jennifer found an anonymous Christmas card on her desk at work. At the time, she'd been having struggles of her own. Inside was a gift card for Jennifer to use on presents for her family. In return, all the mystery sender wanted was for Jennifer to pay it forward — and so she did.
In 2014, Jennifer decided to search for a deserving family in need of Christmas presents. She didn't have enough money to buy all the gifts herself, so she started an online fundraiser and raised enough money, thanks to the kindness of others. When she heard about Larisha and her young daughter, she knew exactly for who she wanted to buy personalized presents. In the video below, Larisha expresses her appreciation and breaks down in tears, having to hide her face behind her daughter's back. It's enough to bring tears to your eyes.
This is what the holiday season is all about, and hopefully it will inspire you to pay it forward, too! Please SHARE this wonderful story with your friends on Facebook!
