“The table is completely filled with presents,” said Kirkland.
“The good thing about Christmas. There is always hope at Christmas. We will always be here for them,” said Donna Wilson”
A GoFundMe page has already raised most of its $3,000 goal for the family. If you want to help the family, you can go online to their fundraiser.
