The children, ranging in ages from 8 to 16, have all suffered parental abuse in some form and now live with extended family members. But each child made sure to purchase toys for siblings and other relatives as well.

This gets me today. All the feels. All of them. ♥

Gah. Andre Johnson is perfection. Just perfection. And the kids making sure to get gifts for their families. Thankyou OP a dose of goodness is always welcome.

This is possibly the only time the "good news" tag and the "texas" tag have ever been used in the same post.

Also, I wish things like this were the norm, not the exception, but good on him for being awesome, tbh.
