generosity for their own gain with so many people in need it's important we do what we can to help others but it's also just as important we remain Vigilant about where our donations go so if someone calls you from the Christmas stocking fund make the donation that will save the most a lump of coal this is Hannah Dunbar reporting Channel 8 news is it true what I was talking to Carl he said you were weighing it that wrap up was off the top of your head how did it play are you kidding through the roof people are calling texting tweeting everybody wants to know the right places to donate okay

right places for them to make their donations actually there's a different idea I want to run by you okay and Carrie deserves some credit on this she was a big help pulling it together I like how you're bringing her along let's hear it there's a family shelter downtown that's been there for nearly 20 years the woman who runs it Helen sander was actually living on the streets herself for a time and that's where she was Christmas Eve nearly 20 years ago I just heard the great news we got the green light for the shelter story Grant loved the idea oh that is so cool okay so what happens now I mean how do we do this let's get an interview set up with hel and sander right away way I want to do it at the shelter but find out if she has an office someplace quiet where I can really talk to her

is my job because this is my [Music] job Merry Christmas thank you [Music] hi do you know me I think what you're really asking Hannah is do I know what's going on you do know me oh thank you thank you I I thought I was losing my mind you're not losing your mind I don't understand though what what is going on what is happening to me I have no idea what sorry not a clue what what are you talking about this can't just happen I woke up this morning and my life was gone I know weird right no not weird impossible people don't just wake up and and and find themselves leading completely different lives and yet here we stand could you just stop that please thanks listen this is unacceptable okay I'm starting a great new job and I just want my life back please tell me what I am supposed to do how should I know this is your wish wish what what wish remember at the party I said it looks like someone in here might have a Christmas wish on their mind and I said no you sure are are you saying that I I did this all I know is that eventually we all have a moment in our lives where we wonder what if what if I'd gone left instead instead of right what if I'd said yes instead of no what if I'd waited just 5 more minutes what if but how could that change everything well now and then somebody wonders so hard that they turn it into a wish without even knowing it and trust me a Christmas wish can be a very powerful thing okay so what am I supposed to do now H my advice just go easy one step at a time it'll sort itself out and how long is that going to take good question probably as long as it takes for you to figure out why it happened in the first [Music] place that's great [Applause] thanks in 50 y take a left on Smith Street [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] please keep walking just keep walking just keep [Music] walking Hannah Hannah hey I was going to call you when I got home door's locked time for a cool down anyway I'm up to 3 miles a day can you believe it oh I mean it's

Frank please we could do the interview you brought me here to discuss and I'm sure your audience will get a good chuckle out of my Antics before hearing about the problems of the world that's usually the idea or you and Harold could take another look at the numbers on my video how do you know Harold Channel 8 has the opportunity to do something different than anyone's tried before which is to get that younger demographic interested in the local news not in this lifetime no not if we do it the same way everyone else does the same way we always did we think of it as a different side of the news a a better side for 90 seconds each night people get to feel better about themselves and how do we do that you hire me as a special course respondent okay you use the mall video as a way to introduce a new segment we could call it I I don't know uh you got to see this and we we get online and we track the videos that are popular that have that local connection and we broadcast them but it's not about the videos because we could see those online any time exactly it's about the people it's about the the grandmas and the kids and the proud new parents and all of the wonderful moments that they want to share it's about the lives they lead and how all of these same things matter to all of us I know these people they're my friends they're my neighbors and I just never realized before I never realized how important they are how important family is I mean that's that's what makes the world a better place who wouldn't want to watch that who wouldn't want to watch a part of the news that just makes you feel better about yourself hi I'm home in here how'd it go great wow look at you thanks I needed something to wear into the city that's something all right where are the girls dress
