Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor familiesWith a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for grantedThis year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself

The phone rang on SundayA representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen throughNo Santa Claus, no presents, nothing

Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children’s faces at the newsWithout a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroomShe returned, her face set with determinationOpening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30Everything she had.

“Mom,” she told Ann, “I know it’s not muchBut maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”

At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter’s storyTo her surprise, staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help KinzieBy day’s end, the story of Kinzie’s gift had spread beyond Ann’s officeShe received a call from an unknown donorIf a seven-year-old could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1He contributed $300

On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys livedThen she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one

Ashley was very movedReflecting on a little girl’s generosity, Ashley says she’ll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need“Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashley says“She’s the type of kid I’d like my son to grow up to be.”
