I just wanted to say “thank you” to all the Kmart Santas for their generosity. I now believe that there are still wonderful people in this world. You don’t hear a lot about them.

I had heard about people on the news helping or paying off other people’s layaways, but I was not aware of this happening in the Thurston County area. Well, I am one of the fortunate recipients of this wonderful gift.

I hope that those responsible realize how much they have made some families’ lives better. I pray that you receive everything you deserve in life.

God bless and thank you. You are truly amazing.

The line refs do not like to joke. The gun guy does not like to joke. Your coach does not like to joke. Your competition does not like to joke. No one likes to joke.
