If you recall a story I told you a few weeks ago about Mikah Frye a former homeless boy who gave up his Christmas gift of an XBOX, so others could have blankets for the winter. It was such a wonderful gesture that touched so many people this holiday season his act of love wasn’t going to be overlooked.
Because he gave up his gift, Mikah was able to buy dozens of blankets to help the homeless. He wanted to help them because his family briefly became homeless when they fell on hard times a few years ago.
His act of kindness went viral around the country and eventually caught the eye of the Microsoft Corporation, which makes the Xbox gaming console.
The company got in touch with Mikah’s grandmother to arrange a surprise for him.
“When they called and told me, according to his grandmother, I was just instantly crying on the phone, and I couldn’t believe it,” and “What’s harder was not telling him.”
Mikah arrived at a Microsoft store and was greeted by cheerful employees who led him to Santa, who was waiting to present Mikah with two full bags of gifts, including an Xbox.
Mikah was so surprised and touched, he began to cry.
His family members were grateful their son was recognized for his selflessness.
“It’s just amazing. It’s a blessing; Mikah is a blessing to our family, and we thank you very much,”
