Speaker 3 (02:37):

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, we're going to make We're going to make this quick,
if you're okay with that, Danielle. We got a letter
about you being the best mom in the world from
your daughter Madeline for our breaking and entering Christmas.

Wish.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
He told me you were outside. I didn't believe him, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I want you to listen into Madeline reading this letter.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Okay, car Mojoe in the morning. We would last to
nominate our amazing mom for the Breaking and Entering Christmas
because not only is she truly the strongest, most selfless
person we know there are five of us, all ranging
from the ages of twenty one down to just two.
Was being being the oldest and grace and being the youngest.
(03:23):
No matter how difficult life has been these last two years,
our mom has never stopped showing up for us with love, passion,
and determination. Since her divorce, she had faced one challenge
after another. When our dad filed for bankruptcy, her car
was repossessed, something that she had worked so hard to
(03:46):
keep Overnight, her bills had doubled and the weight of
raising five children so entirely on her shoulders. Trying to
balance the bills and taking care of five kids, she
has never once complained or as anyone for help. Instead,
she picks herself up every single day and works two
full time jobs just to make sure we have what
we need. Despite being a classts some with two jobs,
(04:09):
she still finds a way to make our home feel warm.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
She even finds a way.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
To listen when we need to talk, showing up for
school events when she can, and finding small ways to
make her smile. She puts herself less in every possible
way now because she has to, because she loves us
that much. On top of everything, she's also paying for
one of our college tuitions, making sure we get the
(04:35):
education we need, even though it's another financial strain that
she carries alone. We can see the till it takes
on her, the tired eyes, the contents dress, but she
still keeps going, and they breaks her heart because we
know how much she sacrifices. This year has spent especially
(04:57):
hard on our mom, and we love nothing more than
hard to go scene appreciated and even supporting even at
elsa a day. Our mom deserves a Christmas or she
shouldn't have to worry where she can breathe, and we
are good things she deserves can finally hap into her
instead of her having to make everything happen for everyone else.
(05:21):
Thank you for considering our mom. We hope you can
help us bring some joy and release the woman who
goes everything for us without ever asking for anything in
return with love and gratitude.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Madeline.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Wow, Danielle, you are such a great example to those
kids too. Always work hard, do the right things, and
you hear it in this letter that Madeleine wrote, I.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Mean she's aware. I mean she's.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Eighteen years old and she's literally so grown up for knowing.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
All that you do for her.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
The one line in that letter that sticks out to me, Madeline,
is that you want your mom to feel seen.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, you have such a beautiful family.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I'm watching you hold your precious Grace in there, and
I really want you to know that we love that
you're letting us come into your home and we want
to make sure that he's okay and safe.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
But we also want you to know.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
No knocks, touches, all guard Yeah, didn't walk around and
then the door opened.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
We want you to worry for nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So we want you to have a Christmas that you
don't have to worry about the stress of going and
figuring out where you're going to find money to be
able to get your kids gifts. We're taking care of
it this year, and we're granting Madeline's Christmas wish for you.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
The tears are running way Okay, it's okay, okay, so happy.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
So right now I'm both big as I made her cry.

I want you to know every one of the kids
are getting taken care of. We've got gifts for the
big adult ones, the you know, the the gifts that
they want. Madeline, I want you to know that you're
getting everything you wanted. I heard that you're biggest want
was a kitchen aid mixer. We're going to make sure
you get that because you love to do some baking.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
And some furniture and stuff for your dorm very important,
and we're going to make sure you get that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
We're going to make sure that Dean gets everything that
he needs, you know, including the gaming systems and all
the rest of that stuff, a fishing pole so that
he can go fishing.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
And then we want to make.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Sure that Sophie and Grace and get all the kid
gifts that they want, because I think that's really important.
But one of the biggest things that we wanted to
make sure Danielle, we want to make sure after what
you've been put through and now being a single mom
with all the stress of these bills, we want to
make sure that you have the money to get through it.
And that's why Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish is writing
(08:39):
you a check to help you with some of your
mortgage payments and to help you with the bills that
you have coming in that are piling up.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Right, she's crying, right, she's grace Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Our friends at Kroger heard about this, and Kroger wants
you to have all the food that you need for
the holidays. So I know there's a Kroger nearby, you'll
be able to go and get carts full of food
for all those kids. And make sure that your home
is warm, comfortable and has the spirit of the holiday season.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
