HOUSTON -- Standing next to aisle B50 where Nate Berkus lamps are being sold, a young girl started singing Lauryn Hills Killing Me Softly by request. Kevin Gausman Jersey .On this cold Sunday afternoon at Target, her mom, meanwhile, was telling Monja Willis about the talent of her daughter.She can really sing, said Willis, who hugged the girl before moving on to mingle with other families.Willis was co-hosting an event with her son --?James Harden, the 27-year-old MVP candidate from the Houston Rockets -- for 20 single moms, who were given instructions to get their children anything they wanted for Christmas.Well, almost anything.No cell phones, said Willis, who is a a single mom with three kids of her own, including her youngest, Harden.For the last five years, Harden and many of his family members have gone through the store to help single moms and their kids pick out items. This year, Hardens foundation spent roughly $1,500 per family so single moms could buy groceries, toys and clothes.We always wanted to give back, and James is a big kid at heart, Willis said. We figure this would be the best thing to do.Willis worked for nearly 30 years at AT&T as a dispatcher in Los Angeles and had to save every penny to put food on the table. Once a year, Willis would receive a bonus check from AT&T for various amounts which turned into Christmas money.After I started making a little bit more money at AT&T, we would get a bonus check in February and I would hold onto that check until December and thats how I was able to shop for my kids, she said. I asked them for five things on their list and if I was able to get two or three of them and to see their faces when they opened up the gifts, I was happy to see the smiles on their face. I was happy, the joy in their heart.?Christmas is real special, its special to everybody as it should be.The families selected came from one of the oldest sections of the city, the Third Ward. The moms came with babies and teenagers, pushing red shopping carts while Harden and Willis walked behind them offering suggestions.Its tough, theyre so shy in the beginning, Harden said of the children. Once they realize how cool I am and I have a conversation with them, they open up. It takes some time and once they get around to the toys it makes it a lot easier.Willis can relate to the single moms.It was very hard, but you just have to have in your heart to do it, Willis said. You might not be able to get your kids everything they want, but if they get one gift, it should be OK for them. It was hard. But you just have to keep trying and save up those pennies and dimes and catch the sales and do what you have to do.While Hardens financial success has allowed her to retire and move from city to city with Harden during his NBA career, she said giving back and helping those in need is something everyone should do, especially during the holiday season.I dont look at what James make, I look at having extra and doing that for families for Christmas and what we do for Thanksgiving, Willis said. Its a blessing to share with other families. Its not important what he makes, he could be a manager at McDonalds. If you have an extra dime and do something for somebody else, thats a blessing for me and my family. I dont look at what he makes. He has a good job, just like some of these other CEOs. Whatever we could do to help out to make a kids heart smile thats what we try to do. Julio Teheran Braves Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. David Justice Jersey . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. http://www.baseballbravesproshop.com/dale-murphy-braves-jersey/ . Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs. Giant Wallabies forward Will Skelton has been lashed for an ill-disciplined brain explosion which nearly cost Australia a shot at winning the rugby grand slam.The powerhouse lock joined the action with 18 minutes to play against Scotland at Murrayfield, and the Wallabies down by six points.Coach Michael Cheika wouldve been eager to see the 140kg monster make his mark on the game - but not in quite the manner he did on Saturday.With Australia having been awarded a penalty five metres out from Scotlands tryline, Skelton made a crude, ill-advised, no-arms clear-out on the Dark Blues star lock Johnny Gray.The Television Match Official immediately intervened and the penalty was overturned.In addition, Skelton was shown a yellow card for foul play in a decision which looked certain to kill Australias momentum, their chance at pulling off a victory and ultimately any chance they had at becoming the first Australian team since 1984 to complete the grand slam.SSkeltons blushes were saved by a superb individual try to Tevita Kuridrani four minutes from time which sealed a stunning 23-22 victory - but they werent enough to appease Cheika, who had no objections to the sin-binning. Adam Duvall Jersey. .(Skelton has) got to put his arms around that guy and he knows that. Its ill-disciplined from him, Cheika said.Those decisions come down to the ref - whether its a penalty or a yellow, but regardless its an offence.He doesnt have to do it. We had our own penalty, its after the whistle and it wasnt clever.He knows that himself. I dont even need to tell him so I dont think hell be worried about me saying it here.Skelton returned to the field with one minute left in regular time and was part of the gritty Wallabies defence which repelled phase after phase of Scottish attacks in the famous victory.
