ABC10 News Reporter Moses Small meets a woman whose post on Nextdoor made Christmas brighter for a single mother and her three kids.
SAN DIEGO — It's the most wonderful time of the year for one San Diego family. When a social media post showed a single mother and her two kids struggling during the holidays, our community stepped in.
This week Erin Lista's living room has been filled with gift boxes, bikes, and $1,300 in donations for that family. It all started a week before Christmas with a post on the Nextdoor app. "The story starts out with a little kid that I noticed waiting for a bus to get home from school," said Lista."It just sparked this thought about him getting a bike for Christmas so he doesn't have to take public transportation.""So I threw it up on Nextdoor and asked if anyone else wanted to help me buy this kid a new bike," said Lista."I was showered by the community.""We were able to get the other brother a bike.
Instead of a sleigh, Lista loaded up her truck to bring gifts to the family. But she has many extra gifts, so she's not done giving. "We've also helped a baby at St. Agnes Church, baby Hope needed some diapers and such so we're paying it forward," said Lista."It keeps giving, it's been wonderful."
