Kathleen Conway-Witts Guild RMA Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation Red Wagon Appeal
During the Christmas season in 1884, Mary Virginia Merrick asked a little boy named Paul what he wanted for Christmas. Paul replied that he wanted a red wagon but that there would be no Christmas at his house because his father had lost his job. Remembering all her own happy Christmas days, Miss Mary suggested that Paul write a letter to the Christ Child, who is “the giver of all good gifts,” and ask for the red wagon. In a few days, Paul returned to Miss Merrick's side with a handful of letters written by his siblings and playmates. Mary Virginia gathered her friends and together they filled all the children's Christmas requests and attached tags that simply read “From the Christ Child.” With these first gifts and the dedication to improve the lives of needy children, the Christ Child Society was born.
The spirit of the red wagon lives on through the many programs the Christ Child Society delivers today. This year’s Red Wagon Appeal will benefit the Girls on the Rise Programs at the Mary Virginia Merrick Youth Center.
