However, this Christmas, only one of the balloons made it. It didn’t quite make it to Santa’s workshop, however, but to one of his allies.

The balloon made it to Shreveport, Louisiana, to the home of Alvin Bamburg. Alvin decided that this holiday season, he would occupy a new role – that of Santa’s helper!  "It was a windy day, and I just thought it was going to get lost, get caught up in a tree," said Leticia Flores-Gonzalez

When Alvin found the balloon and the wish-list letter attached, he started hunting online for the family behind the message. After some careful sleuthing, he was able to track down the girls’ mother and explain to her that not only had he found the balloon –- he wanted to buy the girls everything on the list!

He couldn’t afford to buy everything himself, so he enlisted the help of family and friends to cross everything off the list. They even helped with packaging and mailing out all of the gifts so that they would reach the twins by Christmas.

"If you can make just one person smile," Alvin said, "not only will it help them, it will make you feel so much better."

The packages of gifts arrived for the girls, who were overjoyed with what they had received. Everything they asked for was delivered –- except for one thing. It turns out Alvin had been saving the best surprise for last.

He drove all the way from Louisiana, 600 miles, to deliver that last gift in person: a puppy! When the twins saw Alvin and the dog, they couldn’t believe their eyes. They felt blessed and thanked Alvin over and over again.
