A non-profit organization is helping thousands of CPS students with their Christmas wish lists.

In each of their folders are hand written letters from CPS students from 10 different schools, letting Santa know they've been good all year, and asking for gifts such as a bucket of slime and a fidget box., a non-profit organization that reaches out to donors to help answer the letters and purchase the gifts. She's been helping 5,000 students each year for 20 years.

This year, she had a setback. She had a stroke in October, the same time students starting writing their letters. She's been in and out of the hospital. "As you can still see, there's still a lot left. And I'm very stressed because I want to make sure that we have every single CPS student letter that we took fulfilled," Grunfeld said.
