My Santa delivered! After being drafted last year (guess I wasn't too awesome to be matched) I was matched with a very thoughtful Santa this year and words cannot express the gratitude I have for this amazing person! Coincidentally, I was matched with a fellow Filipino living abroad but had the gifts bought in our country so I will get the goodies fast. How smart is that!

I am currently employed as a preschool teacher in a private school but I decided to join for my Deaf students last year. They come from families with meager income and don't even have money to buy for school supplies. I gave the a project last year but nobody passed and they all had the same reason, the modeling clay which is to be used is too pricey for them. I was shocked and sad because I knew these kids had potential. I shelled out the little money I had as a student teacher and their magnificent outputs amazed me.

u/groggyhouse was kind enough not only to provide them materials for sharing but also a set of supplies for each on of the 10 students. My mum, who's also a teacher put their individual gifts in separate paper bags so they each get one. We had a little picnic first because no Filipino gathering is complete without food! After eating, I told them that a friend had a surprise for them and wanted to give them gifts. To be fair, I raffled off the materials for sharing and one student remarked that they will all share these when they bring them to school. They were so happy! :) I then went upstairs to get their individual gifts and their eyes opened wide when they saw the paper bags I was holding. It is so nice to be able to share these blessings from u/groggyhouse because seeing them smile made me so elated.

Thank you so much, u/groggyhouse and I sincerely apologize for writing your name wrong in the video. :( you are the best and may your kindness be returned tenfold. :)
