Who Ever Said There Was No Santa?

(AP) — A man who took out a home-equity loan to buy 1,600 teddy bears for children in local hospitals got some help playing Santa this year. For nine years, Mark Brant, a computer salesman, has been playing Santa for children in pediatric wards. But this year he didn't have enough money so he took out a $6,000 home-equity loan and borrowed another $4,000. (Geez, where's this guy buying his Teddy Bears?? Are they gold plated??) However, after a story ran in the Chicago Tribune story ran about Brant's work with sick children, more than 60 people contacted him with offers to help. With that money, Brant delivered teddy bears and provided Polaroid snapshots of children with Santa at seven hospitals. One of the first to contact Brant was the Rev. Michael Bittel, an administrator with Monarch Landing, a Naperville retirement community. "When he said, 'Hey, I want to pay for your home-equity loan,' I thought, Oh my Lord. It brought tears to my eyes," Brant said. 10:15 AM - 1 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

This is a great example of why taxes should be far less and the money should be given back to the People! Look what these people do with their money! Everyone would do great things with their money if the Government would get their greedy, dirty fingers out of it! -Fish Posted by Nevada Lights on Wednesday, December 27, 2006 at 10:20 AM [Remove] [Reply to this]
