A girl's Christmas list drifted 600 miles. Then her real-life Santa found it
When Leticia Flores-Gonzalez of Liberal, Kansas, had her 4-year-old twin daughters, Luna and Gianella Gonzalez tie their Christmas lists to balloons that they set free, she never imagined that their letters would be answered — by a real-life Santa Claus over 600 miles away!
"I was checking on my deer stand and spotted something red in a tree that had fallen," Bamburg told TODAY Parents."Something told me to go check it out and at the very least throw away what appeared to be litter. When I got close and saw it was a balloon, I was in shock, especially when I saw the Christmas list to Santa."
"Through many shares, a friend of a friend, Brenda Hill, shared it to a community group in Liberal. A friend of the twins’ mom blew up her phone asking if she had seen the post," he added. "We updated the Facebook post and immediately had a ton of family, friends and coworkers wanting to donate gifts for us to send," said Bamburg."Our first shipment had four large boxes, and we were able to send one more box as people continued to donate."After a series of texts, calls and FaceTimes, the Bamburgs and Gonzalezes decided to meet in person.
