POSITIVELY JAX: Latasha Thomas, a single mother to a 3-year-old girl, was all smiles and gratitude as her daughter was one of 1,900 children to benefit from the generosity of the community during this year's Angel Tree event.
These gifts are for families who are dealing with financial hardships and can’t provide gifts for their children.Maj. Keath Biggers with the Salvation Army of Jacksonville said he’s thankful the community always provides.
“Without them, my baby wouldn’t have a Christmas,” Thomas said. “When you’re struggling, you need help, and this is a very huge blessing that I appreciate.”“It’s probably because of me. When I set up her bedroom, I did everything Minnie Mouse,” she said. Her daughter’s Christmas wishes were put on a tag and put on an Angel Tree, and individuals, businesses and churches picked tags off the trees and provide the donations.
