Reunited family wants to give baby good care

By Rod Ohira
Advertiser Staff Writer

"K.J." received her Christmas gift several months ago in the form of her young daughter's return.

She and her husband could not provide the medical attention the girl required, so the infant was placed in a special foster home.

K.J. worked with the foster parents to care for her daughter.

The family, which includes two other children, are thankful to be together again at Christmas.

K.J. and her husband worked hard on a plan to get their daughter back, their social worker said.

They could use help with diapers and clothes (size 24 months). A folding futon mattress also would be welcome.

Our anonymous Santa has generously offered once again this year to match the first $25 of each donation to the Christmas Fund.

Checks made payable to "The Advertiser Christmas Fund" should be mailed to Helping Hands Hawai'i, P.O. Box 17780, Honolulu, HI 96817.

Monetary donations may be dropped off at any First Hawaiian Bank branch. Anyone wishing to donate goods instead of money can do so at the Community Clearinghouse at 2100 N. Nimitz Highway, near Pu'uhale Road. For details, call 440-3804.
