Will Anyone Help This Needy Family Buy a Christmas Tree?
A tall evergreen pine tree has been the symbol of Christmas for centuries, going back to pre-Christian concepts of renewal even in bleak Northern European winters.
Christmas trees can be impressive and much sought after, though not always within financial reach for families.
In an episode of the primetime ABC television series "What Would You Do?" a woman played the role of an injured single mother who brought her kids to look for a Christmas tree.
As the story went, because of her injury she was struggling to make ends meet and to the open dismay of her children, could not afford a decent tree for the season.
So what would you do? Would you help this family get the tree they want for Christmas. How about you check out how other people reacted the situation as hidden cameras rolled on.
As you will see, for at least one of the people willing to help, there was more than just a payment of money to purchase a great Christmas tree.
