While most children write letters to Santa asking for their favorite new toys under the tree, a local 5-year-old’s Christmas request was something truly unexpected.
5-year-old Isaac Vargas wrote a letter asking for a new heart for his baby sister, Ray Lynn.
The 2-month-old baby girl was born with a rare heart condition and is now in the hospital, in need of a transplant.
Isaac left his note for Santa at Christmas On The Square in Live Oak, and workers cleaning up afterwards who found the letter decided to organize a special visit from Santa.
Isaac’s family was surprised with gifts and well wishes, coordinated by Suwannee County first responders and local businesses.
Suwannee Fire Rescue shared photos of the special surprise to Facebook:
