双胞胎愿望气球跨越600英里 男子意外发现助其实现

Last December, 4-year-old twins from Kansas set balloons free with their Christmas lists to Santa. A man in Louisiana found one of them and made the girls' wishes come true.

Luna and Gianella's mother, Leticia Gonzalez, said that she didn’t expect that anyone would respond to the balloons. But when one of the balloons was discovered by Alvin Bamburg in Grand Cane, Lousiana, he took to social media to find out more. "Found this in the woods in Grand Cane, LA. Would love to know when it was launched. Looks like it traveled over 600 miles. Feel free to share," he wrote on Facebook in January. "I opened it, and it was a Christmas list. I just had to do something for them," Bamburg said.

After hundreds of shares by family, friends and strangers, Bamburg found Leticia Gonzalez. "The family was found through many shares! Thank you to all who helped. We have heard from the mom and are going to work with her to work out the best way to realize her daughters’ wishes," Bamburg wrote.

Bamburg bought all the gifts on Luna's list except the dog and shipped them all to the Gonzalez home. But he didn't stop there. Bamburg and his wife bought a dog for the twins and drove hours from Louisiana to Kansas to give the dog to Luna and Gianella in person.
