TAMPA — There are 20 foster children in Reno, Nevada, who received armfuls of Christmas presents last week because, five years ago, Jake and Morgan McGee couldn’t decide what to give each other for their first wedding anniversary. And there are nearly 80 boys and girls at Hope Children’s Home in Tampa who can’t wait for the in-ground pool to finally be built so they can use the floating volleyball and basketball nets the McGees dropped off Tuesday as part of their annual Christmas gift giving.
“It’s kind of like our Christmas Eve tradition,” Jake McGee said.
For the sixth consecutive year, Jake and Morgan bought Christmas presents for children in foster care who could use a little feel-good at this time of year, not to mention some new pajamas, socks and shoes.
