Mike Grinnell and his family had fallen on hard times. His wife was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and he'd been working second odd jobs to make ends meet.
Then one day, as he scraped by payments for his Christmas gifts at Walmart, he got a phone call. The Walmart employee left him a message to notify him that a "Secret Santa" had paid off his bill. Mike was free to pick up the toys whenever he wanted.
“We were shocked and floored and almost didn’t believe it,” Mike said. “It means a lot to give my son something for Christmas when we’ve struggled so much." The gifts — a toy crib for his niece, an activity set for his 18-month-old son, a tablet for his wife — were all more than the family could afford. But they were a necessary glimmer of light in these otherwise difficult times.
“I just want them to know what they did matters and what they have chosen to do with money is an amazing thing,” Mike says. "It’s just amazing cause the tough time we’ve had the couple last years, it’s really nice and a sigh of relief the presents are all set this year."
