An anonymous donor left $50,000 under the baby Jesus in the nativity set at the Children’s Home of Amarillo, a shelter for at-risk children that receives 75% of its funding from donations.
“We had a generous gift given to us last evening,” the home posted on its Facebook page. “A special thank you to the donor for this gift. Happy Holidays!”
The anonymous donation was found on Wednesday, December 16, 2015.
“This donation is wonderful and will allow us to continue providing all the needs for our children, and will continue to help enrich their lives and futures,” the home wrote in its website.
Darrin Murphy, the home’s president, told Gretchen Carlson on the “Real Story” Wednesday afternoon that the donor had spend time around the home and the children prior to leaving the donation. He said he felt God wanted him to support their efforts, and thought Christmas was the appropriate time.
