Getting a new puppy for Christmas can't be beat. It really is great! But there's one thing that even trumps that. That is lifting the load of another.This year we had the wonderful opportunity of meeting a lady named Josephine and her son, Oliver. They are African refugees who are here in Utah now. They are truly delightsome people! I tell you, little Oliver can light up the room with his precious, smiling face.
They were most grateful for any help we could offer. Our awesome Bonco group got involved and, together, we were able to provide some much needed items for this little family
.
Little Oliver really took a liking to Tanner. They had a great time!
Oliver had some little friends show up to join in the fun! They were darling as well!Then we were able to deliver a truck and trailer load of supplies and gifts to them. Misty and Katherine's families (from the Bonco group) came as well.
Josephine was so very gracious and her smile, along with that darling smile of Oliver, made my whole Christmas season this year!
I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to meet them and hope to continue on with this new friendship. She works so hard to make ends meet. I wish them all the very best and thank those involved so very much!

I loved being a part of this! Thanks for the cute pics and for putting it together! We will definitely have to do something like this every year from now on! Love ya darling!
What a neat thing! There really is nothing greater than helping others this time of year! and I am also so excited you got a new puppy! Can't wait to see her!
It really was the best part of Christmas and I would love to continue to support her through the year.
Let's see what she needs throughout the year. I think it would be great to keep in contact with her!
And I like Angie's suggestion to do this type of thing every year--it was the best part of Christmas!
