“When I opened my box and looked inside, I didn’t feel alone anymore. I felt appreciated and thought that maybe God did love me,” said Angelita.
Of all the goodies she received, including a notebook, stuffed animal, and a sewing kit, her favorite was several colorful bracelets.
“She kept showing off the bracelets,” her mother, Marta, said. “Her face would just light up. It was then that she started to believe that her heavenly Father loved her. He gives good gifts.”
“I am overjoyed to see my daughter so happy,” Marta said. “God bless the people who pack shoeboxes. Thank you for your great hearts in sending a gift to someone you don’t know. It fills children’s hearts with happiness. I’ve seen it in their faces. I’ve seen it in Angelita’s face.”
