Today, while on our way to a dental check-up, my child and I witnessed a homeless man fall while trying to cross the street. My child asked me to stop so we could help him up and gather his things for him. It was a beautiful and heartwarming moment I got to share with this gentleman and my child. He was kind and grateful for the help. This sparked a new family tradition. My child asked instead of doing a gift exchange with each other if we could make and gift homeless care packages to hand out this holiday season. We were able to create 5 care packages. Each containing a new hat, gloves, thick socks, a blanket, a small first aid kit, chapstick, hand sanitizer, wipes, gold bond, dental hygiene kit and a gift card for a warm meal. I want to give a special thank you to Schultz Family Dentistry for donating the dental hygiene supplies. I can not express how proud I am of my child to want to help anyone in need. After all, we are all human, and all could use help from time to time.
