The Spirit of Christmas

22 December 2021:  Christmas is the season of giving and DJ Lecz, who was diagnosed with Sickle Cell as a child, wanted to ensure several kids affected by this condition knew that he cared about them. 

Working with the children’s association of Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, he donated 50 bags filled with goodies and toys.  In some of the bags, an additional surprise of Karaoke Microphones was included, as well as a personal note of encouragement from him. 

DJ Lecz also met with the President of the region’s Sickle Cell Association to get his help to provide gift bags to other families and presented one himself to a young girl he was introduced to.

“This was something I felt God told me to do, and I was blessed by him to use my own finances.  If God puts me in the position to keep blessing others, I will definitely make this an annual activity.”  DJ Lecz said.
