WAYNE - The high school sports community is banding together to collect money and Christmas gifts for three boys whose parents died this year and whose home was severely damaged in the flooding that followed Hurricane Irene. In a township-wide outpouring of generosity, the Wayne Valley Booster Club, the Wayne Hills football team and cheerleading squad, the Boys and Girls Club in Wayne, the Wayne Police Athletic League, teachers throughout the school district and many others are chipping in to help pay funeral costs for Lorraine Voit, who died on Sunday, and to provide Christmas presents for her three sons.
Not meaning to "toy" with your sympathies, the Whittier Interfaith Food Center needs an assist. The group has fallen short about 650 toys in its quest to collect 850 gifts for boys and girls to be distributed to an estimated 1,200 pre-registered families this holiday season.
Four year-old Eddasia Hart ran with open arms to Santa Claus to receive a candy cane and some packages wrapped in brightly colored paper. It means a lot. I didn't have the finances" for presents, said her mother, Leslie Hart.
Peggy Edwards had two boys of her own at home 10 years ago when she volunteered to head up a Christmas program with Norfolk Southern Corp. and the Roanoke Rescue Mission.

Christmas often is found in small things that carry deep meanings for us. Here, two people share their stories: It was well below zero, with gusts of freezing wind, on Christmas Eve back in 1992 when Ellen Bernardson of Minnesota, a single mom, took her boys, ages 7 and 11, for a bite to eat after a day spent wrapping gifts.
Students-turned-elves transformed Terry Overfelt's Rock Bridge High School classroom into a North Pole workshop last week as they busily wrapped Christmas gifts for three little boys. The bikes, of course, couldn't be wrapped; bows would have to suffice. But the other presents - Hot Wheels, Parker Brothers games and electronics - will be all neatly packaged when they're placed under the tree on Christmas Eve.
NORMAL - Christal Butler said a fire that tore through the upstairs of her family's townhouse Sunday may have ruined the material part of Christmas but it didn't take away life's most important gifts.
