RICHMOND, Va. -- Each November, CBS 6 partners with JFS Connecting Hearts and Virginia Kids Belong to help find every child in the Virginia foster system a loving family. And each year the kids featured capture the hearts of viewers and CBS 6.
So for this year's CBS 6 Month of Giving, Bill Fitzgerald decided to head out and surprise two of this year's featured kids and make their Christmas a bit brighter.
A viewer heard 17-year-old "Izzy" say that one thing that gives her comfort, and makes her feel safe, is a nice, heavy blanket.
So Christine, a viewer, made her one! Bill brought that wonderful gift to her along with a surprise from CBS 6.
17-year-old Lloyd told his story last month, describing himself as focused, saying he will take time to hang out with friends once he gets some work done. He says he is working hard to "never settle for just being average." He was happily surprised by our gift.
