In 1999, when Claire Fahy was just eight years old, she decided she was going to give something back to other kids who were less fortunate than her.
The Galway woman gathered a shoe box, filling it with some small tokens including a toothbrush, crayons and gloves. Claire also sent a note to the child who’d get to open this little treasure chest, telling the recipient they hoped they enjoyed her shoebox of surprises.
So when she logged into Facebook today, Claire was surprised to find a message….
The message was from an Armenian man, who had tracked her down to say thank you.
Having been the boy who opened her special gift, he then decided to track down his personal Santa. Finding her on Facebook, he sent her a snap of her letter and explained how he wanted to find her to say thanks.
This is one of those lovely surprise moments in life.
Amazing!
Thanks to Claire for sending this into us!
