Akil Thomas and his mother are spearheading a drive to give a group of orphans in Ghana their first-ever Christmas celebration. NHL players and the hockey community are opening their hearts and wallets to help.
The 20-year-old Los Angeles Kings prospect and his mother, Akilah Love Thomas, are helping raise money through a GoFundMe page to provide 193 impoverished orphans in Jamestown, Accra, Ghana, with a memorable holiday.
The drive that began Thursday has raised more than $9,800 as of Sunday morning, including $5,000 from San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane and $1,000 from Detroit Red Wings center Sam Gagner.
