Amen tiggerjd3!! I am so glad to see a story about people doing something good instead of reading a story about drugs or shooting. It's nice to know angels are around, esp in times like this. God bless these angels and these little boys and their families.

Tiggerjd3 you said it best. Glad someone gave these gifts to these lttle boys so they would have a very good Christmas. You don't have to know the people and they give you things. I listened to the 94.7QDR station through Christmas and all the families that were in need gave to people they didn't know so children could have a nice Christmas. I hope they continue to do better and hope their cancer goes away for good. Prayers to the family. And their in good hands at UNC Childrens hospital.

Wow... That is truly awesome to hear.

I know for a fact that there are caring people out there. I lost my husband in July 2009, and was left to raise my four kids alone. The week before Christmas 2009, I received a card with $300 in it, with no name or address on it. I also received a card with a return address, but no name that had $25 gift cards for each of my kids, and a $50 gift card for me. I was truly touched by the love that strangers passed along. We sent a thank you/merry christmas card to the one with an address, but we have no idea who they were.

I have since than paid it forward several times, and love to help others when I can, but with the economy like it is now, it's hard raising the four kids, with one income, and trying to help others. All I can do for this family is send out my prayers and thoughts to better days.

Happy Holidays to all!!!

My prayers are with these two young men and their family. It is great to hear that someone reached out to help them have an excellent Christmas.

tiggerjd3, you took the words right out of my mouth

My prayers are with this family, and others in crisis. Bless the "mystery" Santa's!

I am glad to know that there are still people out there that care enough for 2 sick little boys to help provide them with christmas. I cannot imagine what this family is going through, and the expenses it takes to care for sick children. God Bless these people, and to the ones that help. This is what makes Christmas special! It is better to give then receive!! I am praying that these two angels will be healed from cancer!!!
