  4. In Des Moines a man by the Name of Jonnie Wright stood in the cold dressed in a raggedy sweatshirt with a card board sign. Jonnie was begging for money and pretending to be homeless. When people would stop and leave money he would give them something. What Jonnie gave them was an envelope with a 10 or 100 dollar bill and a note. The note states that he was not homeless and was not poor and that the money that they had donated will Be Donated to Bethel Mission. He then added his own money and the money he received for a grand total of 1,000 dollars to give to Bethel.

  15. The owner of a restaurant in Montgomery, Texas is selling his restaurant. All the proceeds will go to one of his employees that has a brain tumor. The surgery will cost an amount of money that the 19 year old employee will not be able to pay for. He is doing this to pay the bills that the family will get. The restaurant is about 6,000 square feet. The employee, Brittany Mathis, does not have insurance, so her boss couldn't stand by and watch this happen.

  44. A little girl's letter to Santa launched by a red balloon was found miles away by a stranger who wanted to find her and make her Christmas wish come true. Joie, 5, had written a letter tied it to a balloon, and set it free along with the rest of her kindergarten class just south of San Diego. The letter read, "Dear Santa, I would like to have a mermaid doll with a bow for Christmas. Thank you, Love, Joie." Terry Hardin was leaving work when he noticed a red balloon with something tied to it. He said when he read the name of the child at the end of the letter, he paused. His mother, Joie Britt, had passed away in August 2012. "It put a chill up my spin," Hardin said. Hardin met Joie face to face in her classroom at her school. He handed her the gift - a "Little Mermaid" doll complete with a bow.
