#PickMeEllen (Trying to help my neighbor boy get a wheelchair lift)
#PickMeEllen is Ellen Degeneres‘ project to spread some Christmas spirit. People tweet their requests using that hashtag. A few people will be chosen for Christmas surprises.
Please help me get a message to Ellen that my neighbor needs a wheel chair lift very badly. His mom carries him up the stairs from the road over her shoulder a few times per day. The railing is unusable and the stairs are cracked. She will fall, it’s only a matter of when. It’s very dangerous for her and him. I think it’s a great Christmas project to help them, and I need your help.Tweet this article, or contact the Ellen show (link on her name above.)
Hey, If I can’t get Ellen to be my Santa, will you help, if I set up a fund to raise money for Kristian?
Tweet this story, link to it, or do something to help about this sweet kid!

5 Things I want to Teach my Kids this Christmas
1. People always matter more than things.
2. Be grateful because you are blessed. Many will have a sad or lonely Christmastime.
3. Giving causes joy (which is sturdy happiness).
4. Hope came as a baby. Hope is how we carry on. Sometimes lighting a candle helps us remember this.
5. Hugs and kisses make some of the best gifts.
