Kids Donate Christmas Money

Updated: January 12, 2009
Instead of a standard Christmas gift this year, the grandparents of Carrick Hale, 7, Rory Hale, 10, Julie Hudson, 15, and Kyle Hudson, 20, decided to give their grandkids the gift of giving.

Armed with a $500 check from J.K. and Sharron Davidson, the Hales  met with Abilene Fire Chief Ken Dozier and shared their gift for Safety City.

The money will be used to help build a new fire safety house.

"(They chose AFD) because of the important role they play in teaching area children about fire safety and how that teaching translates into saved lives because of the lessons taught by the Abilene Fire Department Public Education staff," said Lt. Randy Doan.
