Nearly twice the number of families in Orange County, California, turned to a local charity for help funding Christmas this year compared to last year. Among the donors who stepped up to help was a 16-year-old philanthropist who took care of the wish lists for 93 children.

“The challenges have been great with the pandemic,” Lisa Fujimoto, executive director of The Priority Center in Santa Ana, told The Epoch Times. “I haven’t seen the numbers quite this high.”
