One veteran wanted to give a few dozen presents to cheer up young storm victims. But with some help from the internet, he’s brought back Christmas for thousands of children.
Per an ABC News report, retired Marine Shawn Triplett brought the holiday spirit back to his hometown of Mayfield, Kentucky in the aftermath of devastating tornadoes.
Triplett was inspired in the first place by what a little boy told his mother at a storm shelter. "I lost my Christmas" is all it took to compel Shawn to try and make things right again.
He pitched a modest goal of 20 to 30 presents, asking friends and family for help. But Triplett’s effort went viral.
