JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Our Positively JAX series “Merry & Joy” aims to inspire you to pay it forward this holiday season.
If you need some gift-giving inspiration, meet Jacqueline Stitch and her family. They were overjoyed to receive special gifts of homegrown vegetables, fruit and a turkey from an anonymous donor, along with a $400 gift from the Jacksonville Fraternal Order of Police.
“It’s very appreciated. Thank you,” said Stitch, who has a full-time job as a nurse, is in school and has a child with special needs. “As a nurse, I bust my butt five days a week, and I’m in school, and it’s just not enough. And then my dad’s with us, and I kind of take care of him.”
