Every Christmas, Maria asks for donations. She
collects blankets, coats, gloves, hats and socks. She
brings Santa Claus to deliver these gifts. Every
person receives something new to ease their
suffering and raise their spirits. She is beloved by
these men. She doesn't just deliver food, she
delivers hope and love. Steampunk Chuck wanted
to give back to Maria. So, he asked Eddie to give her
a call her, invite her to be pampered like a queen,
and do a photo shoot.
Although at first she was hesitant, she finally
agreed. Maria arrived on that beautiful Saturday
morning and was given the royal treatment. From
professional hair and makeup to wardrobe, she was
transformed. She posed for the camera, being
playful like a little girl, and revealing her inner child.
All attention was on making her feel special and
beautiful.
When she looked into the mirror with those big,
beautiful green eyes, her face lit up, and her smile
was captivating. There were tears of joy as she
shared how she felt like a "new person". She said,
"This is the best day of my life."
This woman has so little and gives so much. The
world needs more Marias. We feel honored to know
her and to share her story with the world!
