Three motorcycle clubs played Santa for a Shelby County family Wednesday donating presents, groceries, and coats for Christmas.
The Bandidos Motorcycle Club, O.T.T. Chapter; Amigos, Sabine County; and M.T.R. out of Center began Saturday, December 6th working on a Christmas list for a local Shelby County family whom they heard were needing help this Christmas. The family with three kids, ages 6, 10 and 13, have been going through difficult times with the mother battling cancer for the past two years and has had to have multiple surgeries in the past 6 months.
The motorcycle clubs surprised the mother with a truck load of goodies Wednesday, December 10th. The clubs' generous donations included toys, groceries, coats, and a promise to pay the family's electric bill for the month of December and possibly January.
This isn't the first time bikers have come together to help those in need. The consensus as to why they give to help families - they themselves have been through difficult times and had someone else give them hope and that is what they want to do, give a family hope to help them through.
The family asked to remain anonymous to protect their privacy but the mother wished to let the bikers know, "Thank you so much and it is truly a blessing!"
