Poor Widower Who Struggles to Feed His Adopted Triplets Gets Letter from Santa — Story of the Day
|A poor widower with amputated legs and struggling to feed his children receives a letter from Santa one day that changes his life in unexpected ways.
When David married the love of his life, Kelly, the two decided to build their dream home together in a less known neighborhood of San Francisco, California. David was an orphan, born and raised in an orphanage in San Francisco and Kelly was the orphanage keeper’s daughter.
The two often met when Kelly would accompany her father to the orphanage, and these encounters quickly turned into friendship. Years later, when David turned 20, he decided to confess his feelings to Kelly, and as he’d expected, she said yes.

However, when Kelly declared her intentions to marry David, her parents weren’t impressed by the idea, especially Kelly’s mother, because she wanted her to marry someone who came from a wealthy family. But to her shock, she discovered her daughter had chosen David, who worked part-time at a diner and was studying to become a lawyer.
Nevertheless, despite their disapproval, Kelly’s parents caved in for their daughter’s happiness but put forward a condition that they’d marry Kelly off only when David had secured a job.
David agreed to their request and worked hard for a few years until he grabbed a good opportunity at a reputable law firm. After that, he and Kelly got married and decided to start a new life.
Sadly, the first few years came as a struggle as they failed to have kids, and the treatments started taking a toll on Kelly’s health. So, they decided to adopt kids and raise them as their own.
Initially, the couple intended to adopt only one child, but when they visited the orphanage for adoption, a set of newborn triplets caught their attention. David and Kelly felt a strange yet beautiful connection to the kids after learning their tragic story of being abandoned at the orphanage door one morning and decided to adopt the three beautiful babies.
Life seemed pleasant and complete when they finally found joy in becoming parents to three beautiful children, but tragedy struck them once again when David suffered an injury.
The man had gone to their home’s construction site, where he suffered a leg injury, which led to surgery and later an amputated leg when he contracted a staph infection.
