Alice Narushevich remembers how happy the Santa Fund boxes made her family more than a decade ago. And she kept the toque.
It’s been more than 10 years since Alice Narushevich opened the box of gifts delivered by a smiling stranger to her family’s Toronto home.A pair of socks. A treat. Pencils and a package of brightly coloured pencil crayons. A notebook. An orange and black backpack. And her favourite item: an orange toque that she has kept as a childhood memory.
“It’s hard to think about my old house,” she said. “It’s not really there anymore, just condos in its place.” That first year her family received Santa Claus Fund boxes Narushevich remembers watching her mom open the front door to receive the gifts. But each time the boxes made her mom smile. And each time they gave Narushevich and her brother a few extra — and sometimes much needed — gifts.
“It’s just this plain hat — it doesn’t have any pompoms or anything — but it does have this white design on its front,” she said. “At the time, all my friends were guys and they were into skating. I thought this skater-looking hat was so cool. I wore it all the time.”
