Helen Johnson was the recent recipient of a $500 Walmart gift card courtesy of the Secret Samaritan Charity Program. Johnson has found herself in tough times and has leaned on her friends for help. Her friend Lonnie, in particular, took her in when she didn’t have anywhere else to go and she strives everyday to pay it back and help her in return.
Johnson received the $500 gift card and expressed her sincere appreciation. She noted that the funds will be used for food, gas, a new battery for her vehicle and to give those who have helped her a little bit of Christmas cheer this year. She thanked the individuals who help with the Secret Samaritan Charity Program and again thanked them for the gift card.
