Our Christmas Miracle

Cricket · Gucci

That was very touching. I'm crying right now! You are SUCH a special person, and I am glad to "know" you. If anyone deserves Secret Santas (school and here), it's you! Your son is lucky to have you. Merry Christmas!!!

Elle · Hermes

Oh, leahleanna! I'm so sorry things have been so rough for you, and so happy that someone helped add some joy to the season for your little boy. Try not to be embarassed - think of all the times that you've given to those less fortunate. What goes around, comes around, ya know? Helping people when you're up and they're down, being helped when others are up and you're down, it's all part of the cycle, and I hope that you'll be 'up' again very soon.

Take care

laken1 · Hermes

OK, I AM BOO HOOING OVER HERE! I am so happy that someone did this for you. I know what a hard time you are having & you completely deserve this. Merry Christmas to you!

PS - let us know what's in the packages, I'm dying to know what they got for you & your son!

And that, my friends, is what Christmas is about. I will probably cry about this all day long.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

This made me cry!!!

Don't feel bad about it! You deserve it so much. You are amazing and strong, and kind... you really are. I'm so happy that they were able to make your holiday more special. And I know that you already know this, but everything will come together for you- and I have no doubt that when it does you will play a huge roll in turning the favor around for someone else.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Tati · Chanel

Collette · Chanel

Karma is an amazing thing. All those times you've helped other families. This is God's way of saying "Thank you". I'm honored to read your story.

Your son will grow up to be such an amazing little boy simply for having you as a mother. He's a lucky boy beyond the presents under the tree this year.

member · Hermes

Oh man, I'm tearing up over here after reading your post. Don't be embarrassed - life takes funny twists and turns and sometimes things are rough. You are such a strong, amazing woman for getting through all of it. I'm so glad that someone did that for you - you and your son deserve to have a wonderful Christmas

blubirde · Chanel

Omg, I'm seriously trying to keep from making too much of a scene here in my office! I started tearing up almost the second I started reading your post. You are so wonderful!! And don't feel embarassed at all because you wouldn't want any families you've helped in the past to feel embarassed. I wish I knew you IRL. You inspire me to be thankful and give to others. You are my inspiration this holiday season. I hope your son (and you!) enjoy all your wonderful presents this Christmas!

small fry · Chanel

okay another teary eye person, this really touched my heart. Iam so sorry that you have had it so rough but I commend you on being a single mother and providing for you son and giving him what is important, love, trust and secure feeling from you. Hugs to you and your son, Merry Christmas sweety and God bless you both

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

I can't even say how touched I am by this story, and to be a part of your holiday joy! I am so happy for you and the generous gifts you and your son received from his school, if anyone deserves them, it's you. Don't be embarrased, be embarassed for your ex and what an ass he is and that he is going straight to hell and you already have angel wings!!! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we have all been wanting good things to come your way ever since you started posting about all your troubles. It made my Christmas that much better just knowing I could do something nice for someone who deserved it so much, and that now your son has gotten the same. Have fun and enjoy your holiday season!!!!!!

honey · Gucci

that is amazing. i'm a little teary-eyed too.

KE · Kenneth Cole

I am crying too reading this-thank you so much Leah Leanna for sharing this with us-please don't feel humiliated-just as you felt good about giving - others sincerely want to help you too. You are in my thoughts and prayers...

bex · Chanel

i am so teary right now.

merry christmas to you and your son, Leah Leanna... and the very best new year wishes to you.

atlgirl · Gucci

I teared up as well. I am sorry you and your son have had such a tough year! I am glad the karma is coming back to you in such a lovely and helpful way. Don't feel bad about this - we all need to dip into the community pot from time to time, and obviously the community is more than willing for you to take a share in your time of need.

You are a strong woman and I know you will get back on your feet and be on top of things once again. I feel for you - I cannot imagine what you must have been going through and how your heart must have been so bruised by your husband's behavior. I wish for you only good things and loving relationships going forward. *hugs*

rlutz · Chanel

you just made me tear up....you deserve all the health and happies there is....have a great holiday season

asf · Kate Spade

of course my boss walked in right as i was reading this and asked me if i was okay, he thought i was crying (okay, i was a little).

i'm so glad that your son will have lots of presents to open on christmas. i hope there are some for you, too.

i'm so happy that you'll have a merry christmas. as all the other girls have said, if anyone deserves one, it's you.

Maddie · Coach

I never cry and I'm tearing up right now...that's so amazing. The most touching part for me is that even whe you have so little right now you were still donating to help other people.

luckylily · Gucci

What a great story. Thank you for sharing.

I'm so glad that you and your son will be able to enjoy a Merry Christmas.
