"THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR HOLIDAYS A DREAM COME TRUE"
Friday afternoon, we delivered our annual holiday family donation of gifts, food, and money (over $260) to Courtney and her daughters.
Courtney, her daughters Raeja (2) and Adrianna (12), with Adrianna's friend, Bree (right), staying there for the holidays as well.
She wrote more:
"I'm completely overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and support for my girls - you've turned our holiday fears into tears of joy and gratitude. "
The backstory here (Courtney once living at the encampment I documented) is as fitting as has been her response to receiving these donations. So we couldn't feel better about this year's chosen family—and we let Courtney know this: that we're as grateful to her for working so hard to be a good parent and sharing her story with us.
Speaking of her story, we also took some video of the delivery and hope to have that edited soon. In the meantime, Merry Christmas to you and yours this week!
Thank you for the gift of your attention and support for all these efforts and the stories behind them.
