Gift of the Magi – Giving this Season

yerwoodlauren — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:37:48 +0000

There is a nip in the air, December is here and my mind goes to one of my favorite tales of the holiday season told by O Henry, the story of Della and Jim Young the main characters in the “Gift of the Magi”- a young married couple with very little money. Jim has suffered a thirty-percent pay cut, and the two must scrimp for everything. On the day before Christmas, Della counts the money she has painstakingly saved for months. She hardly has enough to buy anything at all. She must find a way to buy Jim the present he deserves. As she looks in the mirror, an idea comes to her. Jim and Della have two possessions of which they are both proud. One is Jim’s gold watch, which had been handed down from his grandfather. The other is Della’s hair, lustrous, shining, and falling past…

If you know O Henry and the story you know that Della cuts her beautiful long hair off to sell it for $20 to buy Jim a gold fob for his gold watch. Jim sold his watch to purchase tortoise-shell combs for her hair. These two called “foolish” children by O Henry sacrificed for each other their greatest treasures. It was said that “of all those who give gifts these two were the wisest”.

If you remember the unselfishness of Della and Jim Young and how much their story has moved you today or in past holiday seasons- Make a donation today.

Give unselfishly to support a child’s future!

Don’t let this season of joy and giving pass without remembering the young men and women here at the Yerwood Center. Your gift will change lives!
Happy Holidays from myself and the Yerwood Center staff and children.

Sincerely yours,
Eugene Campbell, President & CEO
