Alvin, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, in December 2020 when a broken balloon that looked like litter caught his eye. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with bright star stickers. It was a child’s New Year wish list. He picked it up. He was going to make the child’s wishes come true.
On 2 January, 2021, Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the New Year wish list on his Facebook, looking for the sender. Soon he saw the number of people sharing his post increase into the hundreds. Alvin knew his hope grew stronger and they were going to find the child named Luna.
It had been a hard year for Flores and her girls. After the girls’ father passed away unexpectedly, the family felt lonely and scared.
On a cold and windy day in December 2020, Flores thought of having the girls send wish letters by balloon. The twins were excited. Flores helped them write their letters, including all the things they wanted, and put the notes inside red balloons. They sailed them above the trees into the sky, sending their wishes to the universe.
One day in early January 2021, Flores received a call from her friend, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.”
“My jaw(下巴) dropped,” Flores says. She logged on to Facebook and saw Alvin’s post. People from all over the country were asking if they, too, could help fulfill the wish list.
▲ But she hesitated(犹豫) before reaching out to Alvin. She hadn’t really expected anyone would find the balloons, let alone(更不用说) offer to buy gifts for her daughters. She gave him a call.
Back in Louisiana, Alvin got busy collecting toys from his newfound Facebook community, sending them off with a note signed “Alvin the Elf”. Then he found a perfect puppy.
One morning in April 2021, Alvin and his wife drove to Oklahoma City. He let the puppy run to the twins, who shouted with joy when they learnt it was theirs.
Later, both families sat down together to share homemade cookies. They all agreed—it felt as if they had known each other forever. They kept in touch almost daily.
Now, after having received so much kindness, Flores and her girls are going to help other children in need. “He could have just thrown that balloon in the trash, but he wanted to find Luna,” Flores says.
