BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) \u2014 Christmas for a local family is looking a little brighter this year.<\/p>\n
A tree, garlands, and presents! A fully decked out Christmas setup was given to a family who just recently transitioned out of homelessness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis family has been a part of the open door network for a few months. We\u2019ve been able to serve them through some of our programs, and we\u2019re really grateful for the partnership with KGET and Alta One Credit Union to be able to bless them with a Christmas experience,\u201d said Lauren Skidmore, CEO of The Open Door Network.<\/p>\n
Alta One Federal Credit Union is the Sponsor of the Christmas Tree Giveaway, and teamed up with KGET and Open Door to make the Christmas magic happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy, and I\u2019m very grateful, and I\u2019m thankful. we really appreciate you guys, you know, having a hardship right now, and just for you guys coming to help us, it\u2019s just so sorry. I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just, I really appreciate it. Thank you,\u201d said Tiffany Morgan, a mother and homeowner.<\/p>\n
For Tiffany and her two young girls \u2014 Angel and Tiffanae \u2014 it feels extra special to celebrate Christmas in a home of their own.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing to be here, considering where we we\u2019ve been in the past, you know, so being here today in the place, it\u2019s a blessing. We\u2019re happy we have heat at night, you know, we can cook when we want, and that wasn\u2019t always available to us, you know, at all times,\u201d said Morgan. \u201cSo to be able to wake up every day in our place, thanks to the open door network and everybody that helped us, it\u2019s just a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alta One provided the gifts\u2026dozens, in fact.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was here last year with one of, you know, another family being a little elf. And it\u2019s very, you know, cheerful to see the the hope and the tears of seeing that they still have a nice Christmas to to, you know, come to every year,\u201d said Annabel Vargas, with Alta One Credit Union.<\/p>\n
