Local company donates to make Christmas bright for family profiled on 19 Action News

Posted: Updated:
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

In October, 19 Action News profiled a family already applying for Christmas help for this Christmas season.  It was part of a story on the growing need in Northeast Ohio and about how Adopt-A-Family was receiving requests for help earlier than ever.

Natania Johnson has 9 children and the family fell on hard times last year after her husband became disabled and they lost their Section 8 housing and became homeless.

After our story aired, a local company called Bright Ideas Press LLC decided to adopt the entire family.  They presented the Johnson's with presents for the kids, furniture, food and even a Christmas tree.

So now, things will be a little brighter for the Johnson family, thanks to the thoughtful employees at Bright Ideas Press.
