Prince George’s County
Firefighter/Medics assigned to the Landover Hills Fire/EMS Station were
surprised to find a hand-written note pinned to the stations information board
a few weeks ago. The anonymous note
identified a family living nearby requesting a gift for the family’s daughter.
The Firefighter/Medics discussed
the request and decided to do whatever they could to make this Christmas wish a
reality. Each and every person assigned
to the station contributed his or her own money to purchase Christmas gifts for the 9-year-old girl.
The note had listed the mothers
name and cell phone number. The mom was
contacted and personnel obtained several gift ideas for the girl. There were enough funds donated to purchase a
Nintendo DS Lite and games, a doll, jacket and some drawing items. The items were dropped off at their home to be opened on Christmas Morning.
In this case Santa was not wearing
red, Santa wore a blue work uniform and a Prince George’s County Fire/EMS
Department patch on the shoulder.
