In 1969, Louise Locker was a student at Trinity University in San Antonio. After convincing the Postmaster to let her read some of the letters to Santa, she realized that for many families in San Antonio, Christmas just did not exist. Louise took action, With the help of family and friends, Louise collected and delivered presents to the children in 13 families.
