Frantz Davilmar and family
"Sears' Heroes at Home really was a blessing. It helped out my family a lot. Last year we had no decorations on our house except for a small Christmas tree. The program gave us the gift of being able to decorate the house for the holidays. We were able to get good things that we werent even able to get previous years. We had a ball last Christmas. The house looked great. We enjoyed it. I was really thankful. I thank God for the opportunity and the blessing. Sears gave us a good Christmas present. I loved it, my family loved it, we really enjoyed it. I got shoes and clothes for my daughter that she really loved. We were able to do a lot with what you guys gave us. "
