Sometimes the simplest gifts can made a life-altering impact, as individuals who stopped by a Christmas gift event hosted by a class of Bellefontaine High School students at Our Daily Bread attested Wednesday evening.
City resident Jodi Sellars touched a furry scarf that she had draped around her neck that she received while also partaking of a meal at the 223 Oakland Square facility.
“It’s such a blessing; we are most grateful to the students,” she said.
“They don’t know how much this scarf means to me. I have esophagus cancer, and this will allow me to cover up my neck. I’m about to begin radical chemotherapy treatment soon.
“It’s also a very warm scarf on such a cold day.”
Fellow Bellefontaine resident Becky Fulmer noted that she is anemic and always cold, so a new winter coat she received Wednesday also is a heart-felt gesture.

“I just love my new coat,” she said. “These kids have really blessed us.”
