A special Christmas!

There is a Santa! He creates a Special Christmas. I know because I saw and witnessed this today! His name is United for a Good Cause and Conexión Media Group. Every year United for a Good Cause and Conexión Media Group works all year long with the sole purpose to give back to the community especially the children. The community children that all have special smiles, needs, and souls but can use a little cheer.

December 16th, 2018 at the Fort Walton Beach Mall thousands came to partake in the spirit of giving. I have been in this area for over twenty years and can attest that there is no other place in the USA that gives so much

The United for a Good Cause group does such a wonderful job stimulating the charity in our community for the children of the area. Every event sponsored is to give back to the community and the youth. Every year the purpose of these events is to prosper, enhanced and grow our community. Funds and donations raised are directed for the grand December event. The goal that every child receives a gift in the spirit of Christmas.  All the children who come to the event can receive something to bring smiles to their faces.

Every year it appears to be larger and better attended. From a small church to the convention center to today in the mall. It is a blessed event. This year was even larger as those affected from Hurricane Michael have come here while they wait for their homes to be rebuilt. 

I cannot name all the volunteers all the donors, but I saw the SMILES that their efforts produced. Most are in the back ground rarely seen or noticed.  I thank every one of these volunteers, unnamed unknown to most but very appreciated. It makes my soul well up with joy and tears to know that they are there. Blessed we are that they are among us. 

To All a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

In this black and white photo, a pregnant person with long hair sits gracefully on a bed. Gently touching their belly, possibly pondering gestational diabetes, they wear minimal clothing and a watch. One arm rests over their chest in the softly lit room.
