a teacher in there named Lisa Lisa is always looking at the bright side of things in her life she believes there's good in everyone and treats everyone like their family she's been a teacher for over 40 years she is always going to be on the Call of Duty looking for new ways to improve she's always the last one to leave the school at the end of the day and she truly believes in the importance of human contact so she personally will stand up for teachers and other students when needed if you see a student crying in the hallway nine times out of ten Lisa will be there comforting that student her love of people and her drive to help others carry into the community as well she's a long time translator for the Spanish community at the local police department and at church she's very giving she doesn't have much to give but she will always give what she can to help those around her the past six months have been rough for her a tree fell on her porch which is the main entrance they used to get in and out of her house her husband also has some medical issues and maybe in a wheelchair sooner rather than later she has severe asthma and arthritis so she needs to do some repairs on her house on top of all this all of her appliances are either broken Halfway Broken or on their last leg she's wringing out laundry in her sink right now because something's wrong with the washer her oven doesn't work anymore and get this when they were visiting their son in October someone stole all their chickens so no eggs it's been one thing after another to the point they just don't have the money to fix everything Lisa will believe that any gift for her should go to someone else but I believe that if anyone deserves a little help it is Lisa and secret santa wants to help Lisa he's getting her all new appliances we have ten thousand dollars to the Home Depot in this box she can go get an oven she can get that washer and dryer unit that she needs and whatever else she might need we also have
