Boy Turns Winning Prize into Gifts for Needy Children
Jarrett reminds us all the true meaning of Christmas
In the midst of party planning and present shopping, we often forget the true meaning of the holidays. But one 9-year-old boy reminds us all of the spirit of Christmas when he won a $160 tablet from his school’s fundraiser.
Instead of tearing open the packaging and diving into all the cool features, Jarrett did something no one expected. He cashed in his new gift and used the money to buy presents for needy children.
“I knew I was going to be able to help other kids that needed my help,”Jarrett said.

Jarrett bought Christmas gifts for 15 children. Among the gifts: a blanket to keep a little girl warm, books to make an 11-year-old smile and toy trucks for a special someone. He got more than $300 worth of merchandise because of sales and using coupons.
“Giving is the right thing to do…because you know that another kid might really, really need it,”Jarrett Wilson said.
