Christmas Eve, the family had a big gathering. About 125 got together to receive gifts, talk, hug and even pray a little. As you can see, some came nearly naked, some were children and there were lots of youth and teens too. Angelina and Anthony played with the dog while the entire family received warm jackets, coats and sweaters that were generously donated by compassionate people at Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Sebastian's, Sacred Heart, Corpus Christi and many other churches in So Cal. Some received packs of clean socks, underwear, prayer cards and rosaries. Everyone got a BIG gift bag "stocking" stuffed with cookie packs, Noah's Bagels, loaves of bread, Jello pudding and Dole mixed fruit cups, chip bags, water bottles, soda, fresh Sunkist oranges and more. The gathering was three hours and then everyone went their separate ways, a little happier and soaked in the Christmas Spirit. Happy Holidays from our homeless, broken, forgotten and abandoned family to yours!
