This is what Christmas feels like.
You can give somebody a gift.
But letting them know they’re not alone? That stays with them.
For over a decade, my family and I have spent Christmas Eve bringing food and gifts to families. While the kids sleep, we get to be part of something that means more to us than anything we could put under our own tree.
And it doesn’t end on Christmas morning. We’ve helped people find jobs and get off the streets. Because caring about somebody means caring about what happens next, too.
Then something beautiful happened. Other people started serving families of their own. One family helped another. Then another. That domino effect — that’s the part that gets me.
This is a lifelong tradition for us. Todd Speciale and family, showing up together. And if you’re part of it, please know how grateful we are. A little love can go a long way.
