I received a message early this morning from my secret santa asking for my email as they wanted to email my gift to me. After sending my email address back in the reply I ended up receiving an email saying someone had donated to True Colors Fund in my honor. This meant so much to me. I'm transgender and know the struggles of living as a trans person and how scary it can be, watching others in the community get kicked from their homes due to family not accepting them after coming out, and the struggle of medical costs that accompany hormones and doctor visits.

I then ended up receiving yet another email from PayPal saying I was sent money. My secret santa had noticed in my post history I was struggling with bills due to my anxiety getting the best of me (something that's new to me so it's caused a lot of issues when it comes to going to work). They figured the money would be more beneficial than gifting something from my wishlist.

The money is extremely helpful and I'm super grateful for it, but the greatest gift my secret santa gave me was their kindness. To me, that blows any gift I've ever gotten out of the water. I only know this person over a few messages exchanged over redditgifts and they did something to not only help me during a rough time but to help others via a donation in my honor.

This is what the true spirit of Christmas is all about. Thank you, SC_Gunners.

PS: Wasn't sure how to post pictures of my gifts since they're emails haha. So I just whipped up something showing screenshots.

EDIT: She ended up sending me 7 cards in the mail, each with a note and 6 with puns! I also received ano Amazon gift card from her!!
