A day of chocolate, cards, and reminders of love is not a gift the homeless often receive. But today the Daystar Christian School had a fantastic time giving the guests of the Pueblo Rescue Mission in Pueblo, Colorado, a Valentine's Day party. They brought decorations, homemade cards, sweet treats, and new socks. Angelo's Pizza also donated some of their famous pizza.
The guests were very touched. One guest cried when she saw a card that said she was loved, "I will keep this card to remind me that someone loves me." Many of the guests were very thankful that the students sat down and talked to them and helped make their Valentine's Day a little sweeter.
The gift of love went both ways, "Seeing their smiling faces made me smile," said Luke Velbis, 7th grader.
"Today the children from Daystar demonstrated love and kindness for people who are treated so unkind almost everywhere they go," said Jackie Jaramillo, President and CEO of the Pueblo Rescue Mission. "All of the gifts were deeply appreciated by all of our guests. It was such a blessing to witness an event that brought joy and smiles to the faces of our guests. Thank you (Daystar) for this beautiful act of kindness."
