Tis' the season to be jolly! This time of year there's allot of despair, loneliness, sorrow and depression. Single parents raising their children living on low income, can hardly make ends meet year round. Then Christmas comes and some of those same single parents are struggling to make sure their families have holiday cheer.
Dallas Mavericks, forward, Shawn Marion knows first hand what it is like being raised by a single mom. He recalls one time for Christmas receiving a pair of pants and socks. No toys, just a couple pieces of clothing.
For the past six years, Marion have blessed others during Christmas. On Christmas eve, Shawn, will choose ten single moms across the metroplex and personally deliver Christmas gifts. He has learned that most families are really in need of items like toilet paper, toothpaste, soap....toiletries.
So on Christmas eve, Dallas Mavericks Shawn Marion will personally make ten families holiday wishes come true if not the very least provide them with what their family needs.
