00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:04.312
(mellow guitar music)

00:00:04.312 --> 00:00:05.387
(air whooshes)

00:00:05.387 --> 00:00:08.054
(metal squeaks)

00:00:09.529 --> 00:00:10.380
- I grew up really--

00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:11.573
- Really poor.

00:00:11.573 --> 00:00:14.289
- My mom and I didn't really have much.

00:00:14.289 --> 00:00:15.485
- One year in high school

00:00:15.485 --> 00:00:16.855
was particularly hard.

00:00:16.855 --> 00:00:18.004
- She was a single mom

00:00:18.004 --> 00:00:19.107
and didn't make a lot of money.

00:00:19.107 --> 00:00:21.046
- We weren't gonna make
much of that Christmas Eve

00:00:21.046 --> 00:00:24.146
because there was not
much we could do with it.

00:00:24.146 --> 00:00:26.491
- We sat down on Christmas Eve.

00:00:26.491 --> 00:00:28.384
- To a very simple dinner.

00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:30.311
- And we heard a knock at the door.

00:00:30.311 --> 00:00:34.351
- It was a pastor from our
local church and his family.

00:00:34.351 --> 00:00:36.371
- They were holding
boxes and boxes of food

00:00:36.371 --> 00:00:37.614
that they had brought for us.

00:00:37.614 --> 00:00:41.711
- Ham, egg nog, uh,
basically everything you need

00:00:41.711 --> 00:00:42.999
for a Christmas dinner.

00:00:42.999 --> 00:00:44.613
- They heard about our
situation through the grapevine

00:00:44.613 --> 00:00:48.735
and put together a food drive
to give us a better Christmas.

00:00:48.735 --> 00:00:53.341
- My mom and I just kinda
stood there in disbelief

00:00:53.341 --> 00:00:54.695
and cried.

00:00:54.695 --> 00:00:58.057
- And we're so shocked we couldn't speak

00:00:58.057 --> 00:00:59.753
other than just to say thank you.

00:00:59.753 --> 00:01:04.234
- They came in, sat everything
down, hugged us and left.

00:01:04.234 --> 00:01:05.375
- I'll never forget the moment.

00:01:05.375 --> 00:01:07.002
- I'll never forget the moment.

00:01:07.002 --> 00:01:09.752
- I'll always remember the moment.

00:01:09.752 --> 00:01:10.764
- We close the door.

00:01:10.764 --> 00:01:12.006
- And cried.

00:01:12.006 --> 00:01:14.093
- And just looked at each
other with tears in our eyes,

00:01:14.093 --> 00:01:16.815
unable to say anything.

00:01:16.815 --> 00:01:18.707
- Sometimes there's good
people in this world

00:01:18.707 --> 00:01:21.633
and you just don't expect
them to come for you.

00:01:21.633 --> 00:01:23.154
- And then we went to the kitchen

00:01:23.154 --> 00:01:25.193
and started cooking what would be--

00:01:25.193 --> 00:01:27.150
- The best Christmas dinner,
probably I've ever had.

00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:29.309
- It would has to be the best Christmas

00:01:29.309 --> 00:01:30.667
I've ever had.

00:01:30.667 --> 00:01:33.834
(mellow guitar music)

00:01:54.281 --> 00:01:55.538
(air whooshes)

00:01:55.538 --> 00:01:56.889
(metal squeaks)
