While Santa Claus may be busy this time of year, Shawn Triplett is certainly the next best thing.
Nearly two weeks ago, a slew of tornadoes upended the lives of thousands near Triplett's hometown of Mayfield, Kentucky. Triplett, a retired Marine, said he rushed to town immediately to see how he could help.Shawn Triplett and local volunteers have wrapped nearly 4,000 gifts in three days.
Triplett said that while he was visiting a storm shelter, he overheard a little boy tell his mother,"I lost my Christmas."After that, he put a call out on social media, he said. His goal was to help 20 to 30 kids who were at storm shelters for the holidays. "It's really been pretty cool, because I don't really I don't speak Japanese or French, so I've had to go use Google Translate to reply back to people and just thank them," Triplett said.After partnering with a local Walmart, Triplett and his hardworking team of volunteers have wrapped each gift.
