It all started with a phone call…
We received a call from The Littlest Hero’s organization earlier in the morning, and were told that a professional sports figure from the Cleveland Browns would be dropping by our

house this afternoon to deliver some gifts for the family. Naturally, the guessing game began for Carol and I… who could it be? The rest of the morning was chaotic – Carol ran around the house like a mad woman, cleaning (de-clutering), while I worked. It was hard to concentrate on work because we had no idea who was coming to our house.
Around 3:00pm, we received another phone call – the Caller ID displayed the name, Danielle Fraley. I knew instantly that our professional sports figure was none other than Offensive lineman; Hank Fraley. We learned that Hank and his wife, Danielle support the The Littlest Hero’s organization and every year they sponsor/adopt a family over the holidays. This year, they chose our family.
The Fraley family arrived around 3:30pm, and let me tell you, Hank is a big guy. I took a picture of him stepping into our home – wow!
We talked allot about his career, the Browns, his family and of course Kaylee. We finally got around to opening the gifts they brought. Kaylee and Kyle were in 7th heaven – they were opening christmas gifts “early”. Both were VERY happy with their gifts. Kaylee ran around the house wearing her gifts the rest of the evening and played with her new toys, while Kyle tried out his new Tony Hawk skateboard game for the Nintendo Wii. He too wore his new clothing the rest of the evening.
What a huge honor it was to have Hank and his wife in our home, we’ve never met a more loving and caring family. We’re not used to receiving donations and gifts like this, so you can imagine the overwhelming feelings we were experiencing yesterday. The Littlest Hero’s organization really did make this Christmas a very special one for our family. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.
GO BROWNS!
