This year, the Beckers and Boltons sponsored a family for the Holidays - The Kings. The Kings are a single parent family with 4 kids and one adopted nephew. The mom is facing some challenging financial times raising 5 children while battling cervical cancer. The majority of their Christmas lists included necessities like blankets, towels, comforters, coats and boots. Jennifer, Softa, Mina and I were very busy shopping and were able to complete all of their lists. We got to meet the family yesterday at a luncheon where the gifts were exchanged. They were a wonderful family with ambitious children. The oldest girl, pictured with Hannah, is graduating high school this year and wants to attend Vanderbilt or Grand Valley to become a pediatrician. The oldest boy (the adopted nephew) competes in chess tournaments around the country. What an amazing experience! We wish the King family a very happy holiday, and are thankful to have been a part of it!
