Devon received a shoebox at a church in Grenada at age 12.
"My gift was very unique because the person took the time to wrap the box in fabric.
What stood out to me were all the toys. My mother was a single parent with four children. She made tremendous sacrifices for us but she wasn’t able to buy such things. When I received my shoebox, it was the first time I received a gift at Christmas."
