GARDINER, Maine (WMTW) — A woman from Gardiner says she just wants to be able to say thank you to a stranger who gave her family a bag full of gifts on Christmas Eve.
Shana Philbrook says she was outside her home when a woman walked up to her basement with a bag full of gifts.
Philbrook says she asked the woman who she was looking for and the woman simply said “Merry Christmas,” set the bag down and ran back to a waiting vehicle and left.
Philbrook says when she opened the bag and brought it inside, it was filled with wrapped gifts addressed to “boy” or “girl” from “God’s Angel.”
Philbrook told Maine’s Total Coverage it was a “beautiful blessing” that no one expected. She and her husband, who owns Philbrook & Sons Construction, and their children would like to know who gave them the gifts and why, but mostly, she said they just want to say thank you.
