Wrapping presents Saturday morning at the Hadley Center for the Salvation Army s Angel Tree families, Starla Gano recounted one mother who had signed up for the Christmas gift program. She was asking for basic necessities, pillows and a mattress pad, said Gano, an employee of Unified School District 489 who helps families in need within the school district connect with financial assistance. Many of her families applied to be on the Angel Tree. One child wanted a stuffed animal to sleep with, and her son wanted a tool box and tool set. Some of these stories break your heart.
