On a particularly tough day last December，Flores came up with the idea of having her twins send letters to Santa by balloon.She told them that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on his sled.
The twins were excited.Flores helped them compose their letters，writing down all the things they dreamed Santa might bring them，and then put the notes into festive red balloons.
On a chilly，windy morning，she dressed the girls in identical pink sweatshirts，put beautiful bows in their hair，and then took them outside to release their wishes to the universe.
Several days later，when Alvin Bamburg,66，was deep in the woods in Grand Cane，Louisiana，something caught his eyes.Hanging in a fallen tree，it looked like litter.But Bamburg felt he must pick it up.
“God just told me，” he says.
As Bamburg approached，he saw that the object was a broken balloon.Attached was a piece of paper decorated with shiny star stickers.It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa，” the handwritten note read.“ My name is Luna.I am four years old，and I live in Liberal，Kansas.This year I have been nice.I would like candy，SpiderMan ball，and Frozen doll.With love，Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest.Ever since he was a child，he had dreamed of this.“Years ago，” he says，“classes at school released balloons with notes.I’ve always wanted to find one.”
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true.And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true，too.
He just wasn’t sure how.
It is over 650 miles from Grand Cane，Louisiana to Liberal Kansas.But Bamburg’s wife，Lee Ann Bamburg，was not frightened by the distance.An enthusiastic Facebook user，she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.

So Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page. Fortunately，the post found its way to Flores.It amazed her to learn that a stranger coincidentally spotting the balloon would fulfill her daughters’ Christmas wishes.Greatly touched，she called Alvin.When told how much it would mean to him to satisfy the girls’ wishes，she shared her address.No sooner had he hung up than he headed to purchase tasty candies，fancy dolls，and balls of various types.He then had them packed and mailed them with a note signed “Alvin”．
Having received so much generosity，Flores and her girls were deeply moved.To express appreciation for Alvin’s kindness，the twins wrote a thankyou letter to him.It dawned on them that a kind act would make a world of difference.Inspired by Alvin’s kindness，they planned to give away their toys，shoes and clothes to the poor children at Christmas.They shared the idea with Mom，who gave them a thumbsup.Flores felt pleased that an invaluable lesson was engraved on her girls’ mind that the best way to pay back is to pay it forward.
