At this time of the year too many school children and their families don't experience much of the joy associated with the holidays. It's not that they don't want to or don't work to make it happen, it's more a matter of not having the means to buy gifts.
Well, the Hinsdale Central High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Club (FCCLA) decided to do something about it for one Harvey, IL school district family.
This family of five children, along with Mom and Dad, just saw their home burn to the ground within the past couple of months. It forced the family to live in a hotel until last week when they found a home to rent.
The members of the club bought coats for all five children, purchased a number of Christmas gifts for each of the kids and bought over $100 worth of restaurant gift cards!!!!! Talk about caring about the 'community!' Each of these FCCLA members should take pride in the fact that they have brought some joy and happiness to a family in need.
To each and every member, along with their sponsor Ms. Oler, thank you for helping these good people.
