Wendell Garrett doesn't like to go shopping, but he needed an outfit for a family Christmas photo and his wife Laura convinced him to go to the JC Penny in the Parks Mall in Arlington.
That's when they ran across NBA legend, and Texas resident, Shaquille O'Neal who handed them a $500 gift card.
Shaq didn't know, but it was an answer to a prayer for the Garrett's who said that money is tight for them and they had been praying for a way to continue to support Beautiful Feet in Fort Worth. The ministry provides meals, clothes and other needs to families struggling to afford food and shelter. In fact Wendell, Laura, and their two sons are volunteers there, but could they support financially? Then... the gift card!
Beautiful Feet runs a “Secret Agent” program at Christmas, gifting holiday presents to children and teens whose parents can’t afford them and the Garrett's know that this $500 will go a long way!
