An XBOX tops anyone’s wish list for Christmas…
Mikah Frye was no different until he noticed homeless people outside during colder weather. He asked his grandmother, “What do homeless people do when it’s cold outside”. So he came up with an answer, giving those who needed them a blanket to help with the cold weather.
But he needed to find out how to pay for the blankets…
“He later told his grandmother, if the XBOX is $300, and the blankets are $10, then I can buy 30 blankets,”
Mikah’s family found themselves in a similar situation a few years ago. They had some financial difficulties and lost their home and had a shelter, thanks to the Access program which is where he donated his blankets too.
So far more than 60 blankets have been donated and have been given out to families in need. Each one has a personal handwritten message from Mikah that says, “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That’s why I want you to have your own blanket.”
He ends his note with “Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend Mikah.” <—LOVE THIS!
And while Mikah gave up his dream of an XBOX for those who need help, “Santa” is still trying to get the video game for the selfless child.
Mikah, I am pretty sure Santa will find that XBOX for you because you gave your heart this Christmas!
